Rovio Control

If this app worked properly and received some updates it would be brilliant. Technically the app does everything advertised however after about 10 seconds of use the video stream becomes unusable due to bad stuttering. Movement of the robot remains perfect however. If this app got some updates, for example the addition of two way audio capabilities it would be better than the browser interface (as long as the bugs like meantioned above are fixed too)

Dusted off my Rovio the other day and rediscovered this app - now updated. Amazing for an old bit of kit. Really impressive UI and tweaks but sound button just gives white noise (even rebooted and reinstalled firmware) and can’t action paths. Video is a bit slow compared to a PC connection. Lots of settings to play with too. Would be nice if Wowee updated the product too... ahead of its time. Additional comment after using for a month... still like the UI but the video is crap - slow to update and jerky even on a local connection. I’m sure the previous version of this app was better. Bought Rovio Chat app for comparison. Not as slick interface but video is superb and quick even remotely. Sound system works too. Switched to this app and uninstalled Rovio Control. Oh and bugs reported to developer though appear not really interested.

Would be excellent if there was 2-way audio aswell. Please add this.

Happy with it all just no sound a let down

Great App for the rovio robot. Could do with more development to get turn off those darn blue lights!

Just about perfect. Sound not working for me.

This app is actually better than I expected and easy to use I would wish you could give it ten stars!!!

Fantastic UI. Stable. Well written. Still being actively developed. Oddly, I find the video slower in iPhone 5 running iOS 6 compares with my iPad running 5.1. I think this is apples fault. Otherwise this app is well recommended. Keep up the good work.

I have found this rovio controller to be very intuitive, the control is excellent, very precise and fast. All the controls are included, including the ability to communicate through the speakers with pre defined text, however I can't help but think that it would be better if you could type talk using the same system, or even the use of the microphone to talk would be equally welcome. Also i would like to be able to hear the rovios microphone, as if I was away from home, I could then use it to communicate with my family. Apart from that it is excellent, I would recommend this to anyone who has a rovio.
