Use this app to control and program the models you build with Smart Car Robotics!
*** Not compatible with iOS 9 and up ***
With this app and the Smart Car Robotics science kit, you can build and drive eight model vehicles through virtual reality cityscapes. You can even program your models easily with the app: The four electric motors in the models are individually controlled by the program, so you can script, save, and run programmed movements.
Features:
- Remote Control Steering: Drive your models with your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
- Virtual Cities: Spread the AR (Augmented Reality) code cards out on the floor, point your device’s camera at them, and discover how virtual buildings spring up on the screen.
- Draw & Drive: With this mode, you can draw out a course for your vehicles to drive along automatically! Experiment with this basic principle behind future driverless vehicles!
- Programming: Command the four motors individually to move forward or backward, or to stop, in one-second increments. Save the sequence of steps in programs up to three minutes long. You can retrieve the stored scripts and then run them to automatically control your models.
- Experiment with the precision of the guidance system and the power level of the motors.
- Caution: Police! Pay attention to the traffic lights on the AR buildings! Do not drive through red lights, or you will hear a police siren!

This app does not work and after working with it half of Christmas Day and still not able to get it to work...... I will be returning it for the $130 I paid for the excuse of a cool toy it is not!
Lady returned this kit, said it wasn't working, I went through to see what was up, downloaded this app and it was not functional, the buttons on the screen were just all black and the car couldn't be controlled, app needs to be fixed please or all your kits are gonna be returned!
I tried to use the app but all of the buttons were black, please fix in the next update.
Works with IPhone, but not IPad Touch. Wheels slip on hardwood floor, might work on carpet.
Worked before I updated my iPhone to the latest operating system. The app doesn't link to the car....blanks to a black screen. Reloading it didn't help. Please fix the app.
Under IOS 9 the app crashes on attempting to peer Bluetooth. Wish we could have gotten further.
The app doesn't connect to my car and it crashes every single time I press the Bluetooth button!!! Fix this immediately!!! ?
This app doesn't work on iPad or iPhone! I spent $129 on this piece of junk and haven't been able to use it once! Fix your P.O.S. app ASAP!!!!
