Droid Depot 4+

This app is awesome if you have a droid from galaxy’s edge and are curious what else it can do! I had a lot of fun playing with my droid and sort of bonding with him. My only complaint is that if you have more than one droid you have to individually connect them to play, they aren’t in the same place. I love the app but it would be great if there was an option to make more than one droid profile in the same place. It’s really annoying that I have to take the time to connect the droid I want to play with and basically have to log out of the other profile. Another thing I think would be nice is an option for people with more than one droid so that you can have the two droids interact with each other. Kind of so that they can talk back and forth and sort of get to know each other. All these things would be really nice to have and I think would make the app more interesting

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’

There are a few other droids and droid apps out there that have features that I don’t imagine would be all that difficult to include in Depot droids:
Autonomy: I have the old Target BB-8 droid. You can set it to just roam around your house or patrol. I also have the D-0 droid which can chase a ball and can interact with proximity. A couple of these features may need proximity sensors on droids, but the BB-8 droid also allows you to program in a series of moves.
Interactivity: my daughter has L0-LA59. It doesn’t fly or walk, but it talks and moves on its own. It can be put to sleep and it reacts to touch. All of these features in a Depot droid, which already exist in this droid would be a significant improvement. They’d be fairly simple to integrate into R-unit heads.
Communication: remember Furbies? They could talk to each other and interact with users voices. If you could figure out how to make BB-8 role with a magnetic head, it shouldn’t be all that difficult to build sensors to pick up noises, especially from other droids. This feature, plus proximity sensors, and some basic autonomy (like a Roomba) would be worth flying all the way to a Disney to make all new droids.
