What is Makeblock?
****************************
More than a robotic controller, Makeblock is a powerful tool for users to realize their creative ideas rapidly.
Providing more than ten Control Panels, users can control Makeblock robots (including mOmega Robot Kit, mBot Ranger, mBot, Starter Robot Kit, Ultimate Robot Kit and other robots utilizing Makeblock mainboards) easily via those Control Panels.
For every mainboard, there are more than 30 predefined modules, which can control different sensors or execute various commands . Arrange those simple control modules and settings in any combination you choose, you can drive Makeblock robots as you wish. You may even create your own control panels.
Furthermore, Users can customize their own control modules to control different sensors or execute different commands with mBlockly (Drag-and-drop style programming similar to Scratch). Makeblock makes programming robots as easy as using building blocks.
If you've used Sphero MacroLab, orbBasic, Scratch, Hopscotch, Tynker, and Blockly , you'll fall in LOVE with Makeblock.
Rocking your robots with Makeblock!

Reviews
Joystick crashes the robot
Daryn C
Joystick crashes the robot on clicking the edge of circle. Makes the robot crash and have to power cycle to bring it back online. Other than that good app for my 4 year old to learn very basic programming.
Ruined my MakeBlock
InvaderZIMM
The app promoted me to update and when I did, it ruined the card and now it just says "firmware not detected" and won't update it. Fix this now.
Horrible.

This app use to work some what decent for the firmware up dates. Now, it doesn't work at all. Also, now the motor joystick only works for one of the motors. When prior, the joystick worked flawlessly.
Horrible. Doesn't work at all.

I got a brand new makeblock tank from a Radioshack that was going out of business. Built it, download the app ... and ... nothing. It connects over bluetooth. I can see the comm light blinking on the arduino board, so I know it's getting commands from the app, but it literally doesn't do anything. Nothing works. I tried to check the app about screen to make sure it was the latest version, and they don't even show the version. The app looks like it was written by a 4 year old. Horrible interface. Quirky interface bugs. Just terrible. Too bad I can't return this useless piece of junk.
Fix now please

This does not work one bit. The Bluetooth connects and everything but no controls work at all. I bought a $150 robot to just have it on display basically.. Seriously, this is not okay. They need to fix this
Lame

I would get fired if I designed software this bad. Complete lack of functionality. Might just design my own app, or redesign it to run with RF. Who designed this app a two year old? I gave it one star because we are not allowed to rate an app with zero stars.
Many issues...

There are a lot of issues with this app. It will not connect without making me downloading the firmware... which I did already via USB. UPDATE: After the last update, the app worked well with my daughter's tank. We then added an arm and the app controls everything well. Thanks for the update!!
Awesome!

Ok first of all the app does work. Just don't update the firmware from the app do it through USB from your computer. The app works 100% I'm controlling my robot with an iPhone 5c, no problem. Thank you guys!
