Description
APP SUPPORTS BASE, SPACE ROVER AND ELECTRONIC MUSIC INVENTOR KITS ONLY. littleBits is on a mission to create the next generation of inventors, activists, and citizens that will take on the world’s challenges through invention. Powered by hands-on and digital play, kids have the power to turn ideas into electronic inventions they build themselves with littleBits’ electronic blocks. Kids spend 11+ hours with electronic devices every day, but most of them don’t know how they work or how they’re built. To prepare them for the future, we empower kids to be creators and inventors with technology, not just consumers of it.
This app guides kids and inspires kids through the invention cycle. Learn how to build with our electronic Bits, gain STEAM skills, and create unique invention ideas fueled by imagination.

Ratings and Reviews
Potential, not executed
Tried the rover kit with my kids on my phone but the instructions aren’t very good and there’s only a pause button, no rewind. No audio either. As an adult it was complicated to figure out what to do with the folding of the base. Kids and I both got frustrated and everyone walked away without getting anywhere. Returning it to the library.
What a piece of crap
This is, without a doubt, one of the worst apps I have ever used. My son has a rover that he cannot build because the app refuses to download its own instructions. No instructions are supplied with the rover itself (as someone else said, how cheap do you have to be to not supply a pdf or printed instructions, and because of LittleBits mind-bending decision to gate every subsequent step in the app behind the use of instructions, we can’t do anything. We are now on our SEVENTEETH “download error” from your servers on your app with your directions, complete with reset of the percentages downloaded for no clearly identifiable reason. I will never buy a product from LittleBits again. My son would better off playing with sticks and rocks than your broken junk.
App does not work
Our daughter was excited to start building with the electronic music inventor kit. Her excitement disappeared after the app would not work on any of the 4 devices we tried. After downloading the app, it appears you have to download each set of instructions separately. After about ten tries across both iOS and google devices, I finally got a message that it had downloaded, but the actual instructions were nowhere to be found. Worse, the kit does not come with even basic instructions, and the Little bits website has no information that could help. Little bits: please get this fixed so that the kit can be used, or put the instructions on your website.
