DO YOU HAVE A MECCANOID?
Once you have built your Meccanoid, download the app to unlock additional programming features!
NEW!!! BEHAVIOUR BUILDER: The Meccanoid App contains a new feature called “Behavior Builder”. Behavior Builder allows you to program your Meccanoid robot to perform actions and wait for triggers to perform new actions. Have your Meccanoid introduce itself and ask for a handshake before telling a funny joke! Press a button on the Meccanoid’s chest to have it initiate an activity. All your previous animations can be inserted into Behavior Builder and become part of the program.
RAGDOLL: In this mode, you can control Meccanoid’s arm and foot motors to make Meccanoid twist, turn or move any way you want.
LEARNED INTELLIGENT MOVEMENT: Program movements and sounds by manipulating the robot like a puppet and play them back with a push of a button.
YOU ARE IN CONTROL!
The app allows you to create your own choreographed moves developed by you! Record sound & motor movement and simply play it back.

Please fix battery problem

This app is good and all, especially the offline mode because I can use the app even without Wi-fi. But every time I go on the app I see that the battery is low and then dies a few minutes later. Please fix this if it’s a glitch or something.
Expensive, useless and boring!

Don’t buy it!!! The Meccanoid g15 KS is completely useless and takes forever to assemble it. Moves are weak and not controlled. It’s far from what you expect... My kids are disappointed...
So slow

Needs work

Well, this was more frustrating than it needed to be. We had a devil of a time getting it to connect via Bluetooth, until I happened upon help (inside the app) which had a link to a 30 second video. Why couldn't they just have it connect through the iOS Bluetooth like all other devices? smh After that, things went pretty well EXCEPT the Motion Capture function... doesn't. As in, it doesn't function. You can tap on it all day, nothing happens. The Ragdoll avatar works well, however. Hopefully, this app will be updated to include the Motion Capture function (and maybe some more directions...)
Promising!

WARNING: This app does not use iPhone's Bluetooth settings. You connect from within the app itself by pressing the "Scan" button. And if it still doesn't connect, you might need to update Meccanoid's brain software like I had to. And that's a royal pain because you need to do that with a computer by first downloading and installing the "brain update" program on your computer! Meccanno's phone support took two unanswered calls and then one FORTY MINUTE CALL to get it all working. The app is all about storing data that will move Meccanoid around. It has 3 parts: 1. 3D virtual Meccanoid that you move around with your finger. 2. Moving each joint with a virtual wheel. And you get to turn all the leds on and off. You can also select their colors. 3. Mirror mode that uses your phone to watch you so that Meccanoid mimics you while recording it. Mirror mode was the most fun, but it was difficult to use. I had to be about 6 feet away and I could not see my tiny iPhone 5 too well from that distance. Also Meccanoid tended to crash his arms into himself constantly. Also there was s lot of jitter. The commercial cheated. It does not work that well.
Will not connect- useless

App will not connect to Meccanoid via Bluetooth. Have tried with multiple iOS devices (Bluetooth turned on) but app just scans endlessly without recognizing Meccanoid.
