Description: Sphero BB-8 App-Enabled Droid**TESTED & WORKING!** This unit was rarely used and comes with everything in the original box, except for the original stubby little, too-short, USB cable. Instead, I've included a longer USB cable that worked great to charge the unit during my testing. The unit itself ran for well over an hour in various testing and then "Patrol" mode (just runs around on its own making noises and being adorable - great company at my desk!). See the video for some of this testing in action (my iPhone 12 has a crack in its camera, so that's my issue if you notice, not the app's or the item's), as well as pictures of actual item(s) included and their condition. Android users:Good choice on the best phone!Sphero foolishly pulled the app. but you can still get the app from a third-party install method, the details of which you can find and replicate using any of many online articles/forums (Reddit), or YouTube videos out there (the most recent one that I saw was from "Mythos Boba"). iPhone users: Trade-in for an Android device...😉You can still use/get Sphero's generic (edu) app that controls various devices and will control BB-8, but it lacks the dedicated and slick BB-8 app's features. Back in 2021, Sphero pulled the dedicated BB-8 app from the iOS App Store with their excuse of (re)focusing on the edu market and not even bothering to keep supporting their Disney bots at all.NOTE: If you already had "purchased" this (free) app, then you can STILL (re)download it - I did so, and it works flawlessly, even as of iOS 17.4.1 on an iPhone 12 (yet more reason why Sphero should be UTTERLY ASHAMED for pulling the app, instead of just putting a disclaimer on it)! If you did not already have the app anytime in the past, then you may have trouble finding any way to sideload the app these days, b/c Apple does their best to block this as of macOS Monterey - they are just as callous and obnoxious as Sphero. I tried sideloading after jailbreaking, but Apple effectively blocks this on newer macOS versions. You'd need an older Mac with an older macOS version to try sideloading on a jailbroken iPhone, perhaps until Apple finally gets sued into being reasonable, which is FINALLY starting to happen - MASSIVE THANKS to the EU (and Epic Games)! Thanks for looking!:)
