Meet BB-8™ - your very own app-enabled Astromech Droid.

Over the years, the experience of Star Wars™ has always lived on screen and in our imaginations. The characters, worlds, and adventures have become an unforgettable part of our lives, and toys have kept that magic in our hearts long after we’ve left the theater. Thanks to advancements in technology, it is now possible to bring a new part of Star Wars: The Force Awakens™ into your home in an incredibly authentic way. For the first time, a real Droid™ is finally making its way into your world.

BB-8 is playful, personable, and true to the Star Wars™ galaxy. His unique traits begin to shine the second he is awake. Based on your interactions, BB-8 will show a range of expressions and even perk up when you give voice commands. It’s now possible to explore the galaxy with your own trusty Astromech Droid by your side. BB-8 is more than a toy - it’s your companion.

Rather than using the Force, BB-8 is powered by induction charging and connects via Bluetooth© Smart with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. His tough polycarbonate shell keeps him safe from water and the dark side.

Features include:

DRIVE
Slide your finger on the driving pad to guide your Droid. BB-8 will go wherever you point and hold, and he’ll even react to collisions. If you want to see more of his personality, enter the droid commander, choose an icon, and BB-8 will show off a range of expressions.

PATROL
Tap into Patrol to send BB-8 off on his own. His autonomous behavior allows him to move around, get familiar with your space, and investigate the surroundings. Tap the play button to get BB-8 on the move.

WATCH WITH ME
The Watch With Me feature allows your Droid to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story with you. Select this option when BB-8 is in his charging base, start the movie, and watch his reactions along with the film.

DRAW & DRIVE
Draw & Drive lets you trace a route with your finger in the app for BB-8 to follow in real life.

HOLOGRAPHIC MESSAGING
No Droid is complete without holographic messaging. Now you can make your own thanks to BB-8. Record a video and BB-8 will transform it into a virtual hologram.

This is the Droid you’re looking for. Find it at Sphero.com and make it yours.

Pros and cons of BB-8™ Droid App by Sphero app for iPhone and iPad

BB-8™ Droid App by Sphero app good for

Very good apps. We just hope that the voice recognition system will improve with more orders available
Its awesome and almost everything worked perfectly, but the voice commands could be better.
I personally dont like the first droid sounds. So, in an Update, you guys from Sphero could make a switch, including the two sounds, the first ones and the movie ones! Please, these would end your problems!
Nice App, however, despite the information that this Ipad is supported, its simply not working.
This is my first review ever. I am just very happy with my BB-8. I needed some training getting used to the controls of the app but once you figure it out its very intuitive. Sphero did a great job by bringing this Star Wars character to life at private homes. I really hope there are new updates on the way concerning voice control and I do hope BB-8 might get an improved AI. The only thing You really need to pay attention are his antennas, they are really sensible when hitting sth.
I always wanted a robot in my room like bb-8,now because this cool thing, my dreams become true

Some bad moments

After installing the app and opening, it just hangs up on the BB-8 start screen then just quits out when trying to connect. Currently have the latest iOS on iPad HD.
This app worked once and then kept crashing. Now I have to re install every time I want to use the bb8. So frustrating!
When i open the app it connects but when it sais firmware updating %5 it crashes. Please uptade the app
iPhone 6+ no cure Ive installed the application does not match the reset again!The solutions!!!!!!!
Very poor and basic toy. Not worth. There should be Siri inside BB8. A camera should be on. Maybe we will see in next versions.
I didnt use the toy for awhile and now when I open the app and match them app sees the droid but doesnt do any commands it doesnt move. And the droid is intact there is nothing wrong with it.
