iRobot Home Reviews

Great app so far, but it could use some love from the devs

UberTexan

Like others have said, this app is very simple at the moment, but it does a great job. Some new features that I would find valuable if added: - Battery level - Home button - More noticeable app alert/notification for when the bin is full - Health/status indicator for filter(s), bin, core robot, and debris extractors - Ability to clear history

Decent App, needs polish

When it starts up from schedule, need ONE button to shut up and go home. If you weren't ready or on a call or distracted, telling it "never mind" or "do it later" needs to be immediate option I'd like to actually speak to it for a few things, like not now, go home, or come over here and clean this spot. Now that Amazon Alexa had multiple Mics, seems Roomba could be next Can't it at least notice the patterns of noise and light in the house, and maybe wait for when it's not so busy, but not at night. The Nest ecosystem notices calm and empty times of the day I thought I would be able to see through the 900's camera in real time, to "monitor", but that's not what they mean. Maybe image is heavily processed for computer vision, so would not look good, but maybe grab a copy before it applies CV filters Also, if I could see through the camera, how about letting me talk back and forth? I'd also like to see the map it draws, like other reviewer Also, how about Amazon Alexa integration, handle voice through that device. "Alexa, tell Roomba to clean now", or "tell Roomba to clean later!" The scheduling is very primitively for a 2016 device. The spot cleaning is cool but doesn't work if the spill is near a wall. They need the same idea, but also for rectangular areas and corners, and really work the edge cleaners I hope some of this can be handled in future software updates. But still a nice gadget!

Lost Option

What happened to the "Return to base when power is low" option? My robot stopped and said to place on charger" I cannot find the option after 15 MARCH update.

Push notifications, please???

How does this app not have push notifications? If Twitter can tell me that some random person "favorites" some other random person's photograph, why can't I find out if my robot's bin is full?

Good start, missing features

Works fine but it's missing : - Push notifications when something happens (started cleaning, finished cleaning, events happened) - Schedule several run during a single day - See a map of where Roomba went - Spot cleaning : using my phone I can tell Roomba where to clean instead of picking Roomba and pressing the spot cleaning button - Back to base button Time to update the app! We're looking for improvements :)

Unfortunately very glitchy April 2016

Gemini International

I'm having to reinstall the app. After using my LTE to order the vacuum to clean - it activated remote access through their cloud server. Then the app basically said that it was cleaning for 1600 minutes and would never recognize that it had finished and was charging and done. The clean history also failed to update from this point on. Needs a good once over from a dev standpoint. Also please add a map of her imaging so we can see where she's vacuumed and such. Thanks.

Great app for 2013

Does the minimal. Almost worth not downloading. Looking forward to future updates.

Please add Turkey

oguzhanozcan

We can't download or update the application from Turkey. Please activate it on itunes from Turkish Store

Good Start

App has some good features and missing some I think needed features. Good features include your able to start the robot from your device. Works well if your not at home and want to run a deep clean and my kid loves to push the "Button". You can look at the health of your little cleaning buddy by looking under the care menu to see what needs maintenance. It has how to videos on how to maintenance the robot and order parts if needed. I feel like the app should send push notifications to your handheld device if the robot gets hung up or doesn't finish the job. Maybe add a spot clean and return to home option would be nice also. I think this is a good start and can't wait to see the improvements that are made to the app. My life has definitely been made easier having this cleaning machine in my house.

Finally
