Comments on Blue Dot for Android

★★★★★ Very nice. Cold be useful a panel in the app with the preferred device. In my startup screen there are 20+ devices :-) On android 12 if you don't use the app for a while the "dot" became unresponsive. If You touch the "dot" it gets back to life after 2/3 seconds
★★★★★ Brilliant - works "straight out of the box". The easiest and best method for controlling a Raspberry Pi robot I have found so far - by a long way.
★★★★★ In the python script be sure to type Blue Dot and not Blue dot as I was doing and getting an error!!!
★★★★★ Perfect piece of kit. But do go on the website to find out how to get the best out of the app.
