Evo by Ozobot

They must not teach good user interface design in schools anymore. Or they just don’t bother because turning your app into a sales ad has become more important. Now, after this “update”, all the main tasks that I want to do with my ‘bot are buried under at least three, non-obvious menu layers. The driving controls now stink and take all the fun out of just playing with my ‘bot. The Home screen has become advertising space instead of a launching pad for the things that I actually want to do with my ‘bot. If I had realized how bad this “upgrade” was, I would not have “upgraded” my ‘bot and app, and continued to use the older versions of both.

So this app was like the best before that update that stripped the app of half its features. I love my Evo, but now, I cannot name him, have different accounts, do ozolaunch, and so much more! Plus, the app is as hard as heck to navigate! I also agree with another review that said we need to see the battery percentage of our Evos. Please add a JavaScript conversion option in blockly like it used to be and add more programming options. Also, the driving thing is crap now. You cannot even drive him well and cannot run programs, or change his lights with ease like you used to. Basically, I didn’t play with ozobot for maybe a month or so, and then I came to this crap update. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. This update is complete crap. Evollve, please fix this and bring back the old features that you scrapped. Because I love my Evo and the fact that you can 3d print assessories for him. Look, I don’t want to call this app crap, but please fix it and bring back the old, fun, interface and features and I will give you the best review. (Or at least respond to this review to tell me WHY YOU RUINED YOUR AMAZING APP!?) Overall, I love their product, but I despise this new update they made to the app. That is why I only gave this 2 stars. Please write more reviews like this in the hope they will care and bring back the good in their app.

Ever since I got the Ozobot Evo it was amazing but I find that it’s battery life is horrendous and can only be used for a couple hours before having to plug it in. And it’s just gotten worse since I got it a couple months. Also another thing that absolutely annoys me is that the app takes a really long time to calibrate with my evo (about five mins. when usually should only take about thirty secs.) But Overall the Ozobot Evo is an amazing toy for someone who is really techy or is interested in computer science.
