  • Perfect

Bday gift for 12 year old and he loved it

  • Fun Little Gadget - but Pretty Pricey
Color: Eggshell White(golf)
I used to have a gag remote control golf ball. It was an inexpensive little novelty but great fun to swap out someone's golf ball, put it near the hole, and then remotely sink the putt or steer it offline so he misses the easy putt. But I lost it. I searched for it on Amazon, and this is what came up. Yes, it is a remote control golf ball, but at about 20 times the price of the one I lost. Still, glad to have it. ... show more

  • Enjoyable
Color: Green
I bought this to be lazy while playing with my cat. Keeps her interested, she loves it. Color change is nice, additional play options is good, battery life is good for at least an hour. Have to plug it in to turn on, can shut off with the app (yes you need to download the app). Be sure to purchase a carrying case. ... show more

  • Functionality is less than the original 2.0, but it’s still great.
Color: Eggshell White(golf)
I missed the different apps that Sphero originally had that made it as good as it was. Most of their functionality lives on in Sphero play, but the games like Chromo are lost forever.

  • Great prank turned obsession.
Color: Eggshell White(golf)
I bought this product to play a prank on friends while out putting. This looks just like a regular golf ball, with the exception of the seam where it separates. In your hand or up close you’d quickly realize it’s not a normal golf ball, on the ground you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. That being said, this is soooo much more than just a prank golf ball. I was geeking out at all the fun stuff you can do with this thing. It’s brought hours of entertainment to my kids and cats. The app is super intuitive to use. Im so impressed with the tech you get at this price point and this thing seems like it runs forever. I have yet to run it out of battery. The only con I have found is that when you power it down, you have to plug it into a power source to boot it back up and control it. ... show more

  • The Cat Toy I Always Dreamed Of
Color: Green
FINALLY MY CAT HAS SHOWN INTEREST IN A SPHERO TOY!!! I thought I was gonna be all about the branded Sphero toys after a very successful run-in with their new BB-9E but then they went an introduced miniature Sphero balls and I had to get myself one in green. It's my son's favorite color so I quickly rationalized that it's a toy for both of us. But, like with the BB-9E, he's terrified of this thing, too. There was hope for a second there when he found it on the carpet in the morning after I'd played around with it the night before after he'd gone to bed. He brought it to me and his mom and announced, "An egg!" Because it's actually just a hair smaller and obviously rounder than a plastic Easter egg. Feels like one, too. So there was promise. My wife has me load up the app and give it a run for him and he was immediately over it. He jumped on our bed and wanted nothing more to do with it. But you know who loves it? Our cat. That cat's ignored the full-size Sphero, Ollie, and BB-9E but THIS ONE is something she'll stalk around the ottoman. The good - It's smaller but no less solid or speedy than the larger models. I imagined it'd be a significant drop in quality or speed or SOMETHING because it's not only smaller but significantly less expensive than the larger models but I haven't found this to be the case at all. It even runs on our tufted rugs which ave texture/different heights. I'd have been understanding if it couldn't overcome the heights but it hasn't been the case. Your (miniature) mileage may vary, though. The bad - Still terrifies my son. Isn't branded (I'd be down for a mini BB-8) so the app feels light compared to all that the Star Wars models come with. Completely delivers on all that's promised so that's more an observation than a true "bad". I'm gettin' greedy, clearly. The unexpected - Twice now I've had to stop and restart the app because it's tried to load up in portrait mode with half the screen black and the load screen basically only being half there. I couldn't rotate the phone and have it be corrected I just had to stop the app completely and then re-open it. Once open the apps been solid, like all of their stuff, but that did happen twice so it's kind-of, sort-of something that happens. Easily fixed so not a bad, just an unexpected. Off to play with the cat and hopefully not give my son nightmares! ... show more

  • My cats love it
Color: Blue
I use this to help burn off my cats' excess energy, and it works super well for that. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't deal well with carpet, but I can get it unstuck with a little effort. My advice when using it is to orient it to the house, not necessarily to yourself. That way, for example, pressing up will always send it towards the east wall of my house. I could wish there were some more grippy covers available, but I have a 3D printer so I'll make something. ... show more
