Pretty good!

Weekly schedule and seeing the map of where Roomba cleaned! I’d love to be able to send Roomba to home base from the app, but I can’t seem to find where to do that. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice to have this feature.

Great job

Our ibot does a wonderful job and this App is great. While I am out playing golf I can check the progress. I love it

The app really needs to upgraded.

The app is always off line. Even when the WiFi is good. The “resume and end job” is frozen and you have to delete the app and restore it .

Best thing ever

Wish I had invested in one of these a few years ago when our pet family expanded!

Very basic app

PowderGDS

All you can do is set some preferences and start or stop. In my opinion the app needs 1. Battery status 2. Spot cleaning mode. A self generated map that you can select areas for it to go clean. 3. Errors and issues. Like bin status, reason for errors etc. 4. More customizable cleaning options. Like twice or three times per day. Active household and would like more regular cleanings 5. Ability with map to tell it not to clean area as exclusion or period of time. Better than moving barriers around. Thank you for the Roomba it's picked up more dust and dirt than I would have thought considering how much we clean.

Great start

I just bought the 980, because of its integration with iOS and this app. I agree with everyone else, it's a great start but there are some simple additions that would make this an amazing app/device combo. 1) add a battery level and bin status to the app 2) add push notifications 3) add an Apple Watch app. I would love to do the basic controls and see what's happening just from my watch. I don't really carry my phone with me much any more. 4) adding in the map of what it finds and allowing us to edit it would be awesome. 5) HomeKit connectivity would be great. Maybe allowing it to turn on or off our hue lights to help it clean better would be a good feature. Again, great product and great app. This is our first robotic vacuum and we are excited to see where this will continue to progress.

App needs work

Queenladyk

Needs to have a map so that you can pinpoint an area to clean and the time that you want it to clean that place. Like after dinner clean under the table in the dining room. Also it went home in the middle of the job but the app keeps telling me I can't cancel the job. Also would like to add my husbands phone but it says it can't find the roomba. I think for 900 bucks the app needs to be updated a bit more frequently. Thx

Functionality missing

Calvin771

I have been very pleased with the Roomba 980 and accompanying app but feel there could be more functionality added. Adding to what others have said about spot cleaning and battery status in the app, I would like most to have the ability to define different settings for individual cleaning days. One day a week I might want a very thorough cleaning but other days only need a quick clean.

History not updating

Jtrean

We love the roomba 980. Our 1st one. History stopped updating after about a month. I have a support call into roomba, and I came to the App Store to see if there was an upgrade. Hey iRobot. Please take all the feedback you are getting in these reviews and put it in your backlog. People here are suggesting great ideas that will keep you ahead of the competition.

Great Vacuum - obvious misses in app

oxford

I have the 900 series vacuum and its replacing one 3 versions ago. It's amazing and a game changer. The app needs work but it most definitely does the job. Two stars deduction for the lack of below. Well documented but needs: 1) Needs battery indicator - amazing this isn't a feature. 2) Push notifications - please add. 3) Make "works with Nest" compatible.
