Droid Depot

This app makes the droid from galaxy’s edge so much better. The controls are much more fluid and responsive, the droid is more “talkative” and the movement sync with the music is excellent. My main complaint is that on the controller portion of the app, the top red button (the one for accessories) doesn’t function. I have the blasters installed on my R unit and when I hit the button nothing happens, sometimes the random noises it makes now include the blasters firing so I know they work and I tried with the original controller and they function as expected. This app I’m sure will continue to get better, but for the accessories not to work is a pretty big let down since they cost extra and the expectation is that they will continue to function

I have created 2 droids for myself and 1 for my grandma at Galaxy’s Edge so I was excited when I saw this app advertised in an email today. It took a second to get things going ( for all those complaining it won’t connect to your droids, I had to turn off the physical controller and only have the droids on to obtain connection). The fact that you can have your droid dance to DJ-R3X is AMAZING. DJ-R3X’s soundtrack is one of my favorite go-to albums and I’m excited that I can share the beats with my astromech friends! I was able to connect both of my droids separately and create their profiles and it’s great to see their profiles are remembered when switching connections back and forth. I really do hope the developers continue to update this app with more content as I would love to see my droids become even more alive than they are now. My only qualm is that I cannot have both droids connected at once to have a little dance party, but I do understand the limitations of a brand new app. Please keep more droid content coming and Happy May the 4th!! - Sincerely ‘a Droid Sympathizer’

My husband and I each built a droid on our honeymoon at WDW. While I’ve played with mine a little, seeing the app release was so exciting! While simple, the tic tac toe and dancing activities were cute and made me smile (which we can all use right now). I loved how my droid responded during the activities! I also appreciate that sounds are synced while you use the app to drive—I’m really bad at pressing the sound button while using the plastic remote, so this was a nice addition. Like others, I would love options for multiple droids in a future update! And one note: it took me a long time to figure out how to get the music to play because my phone is always on “silent mode”. Just triggering volume won’t work in this app, you have to fully toggle sound on to hear the sounds in the app!

I really wanna say THANK YOU for giving us this app. This really makes quarantine more bearable as I now can have fun with a new companion other than just making the droid act like a puppet. When I brought home my R2 unit from Orlando back in March, she didn’t really see much action outside of her box. Thanks to this app, she will be out roaming the house more often! I’ve had so much fun making R2-B3L dance around the living room or battle face to face in tic tac toe. I can’t wait to take this app and droid with me back to school and share the fun with my friends! Please add more games and features to play with the droids, maybe something that requires multiple droids for those of us who can meet up with friends who have physical droids? It would also be cool if we could make them react to things like they do in Galaxy’s Edge. And is there any way that the app can save my droid’s information when I go offline or if I decide to purchase a BB unit in the future so I don’t have to re-enter everything? Again thank you so much!!! I highly recommend this app for those of you with physical droids from Galaxy’s Edge!

We love our two droids from Galaxy’s Edge and this app makes them even better! The kids love playing our droid in tic-tac-toe and laugh hysterically at the droid’s reaction to their moves and winning or losing. We’ve had some dance-off parties as well! I hope they keep adding to this app with more games and interactive experiences. Even the remote control on the app is a little more intuitive with the “joystick” than the regular controller. The only issue we have had so far is that the app controller does not recognize our blaster add-ons. Other than that it’s fantastic! Thanks!
