Jimu

I bought this for my 5 year old (I know it’s for 8+). She was very excited to put it together after playing with regular legos for a year. I obviously was helping, but she grasped the concept of navigating the app through steps and using her fingers to see how parts are put together. I think that this toy is great and on screen instructions are excellent. With exceptions for some errors in suggested parts. I took screenshots of pages where wrong size pin is recommended vs what is pictured. While seems like a small error, we are not done putting it together yet as 5 year old attention span is equivalent to one of a fruit fly. I will continue to take screen shots if I come across any more mistakes and can email those over to be corrected. Once corrected I will be more then happy to change my review to 5 stars. Otherwise, I love the concept and ability to follow onscreen 3d animations to put this robot together.

Many of these reviews giving one star and disappointed comments, didn’t realize that they were one of Im sure thousands of people trying to do the exact same thing at the exact same time...all day long. The servers were overloaded and nobody could do anything! This was incredibly frustrating and to be honest I do wish that there was a building booklet (like LEGO sets) but those booklets would easily be over 100 pages. Around 2am last night I tried the app again and everything downloaded in a few blinks of the eye! I hope that those who left one star and a poor review will come back and give a more thoughtful review as this product is amazing!! Maybe Jimu should’ve thought about their servers being overloaded, but I think more so that people need to realize they are not alone, and that thousands of parents had the same “unique” idea of buying their child a Jimu. Four thumbs up! (My kid and I both love this thing!)

I love JIMU ROBOTS, they are incredibly sturdy with very powerful motors, I love building them over and over again, and never get bored. You can even build your own creative robot! JIMU Customer service is spectacular! If I have a problem occur with one of their products then they are there to help me every step of the way until it is fixed. The app is so compatible I’m able to use it on my phone or tablet. It would be so fun if the app included games and augmented reality.

I received a kit to build a JIMU robot, and as soon as I opened up the box, I was extremely excited to get building. After I built the bot, I downloaded the app, it was pretty quick and straightforward. Now I’m controlling my robot all around the house to grab the TV remote for me and bring it to my bed. This is an amazing app and I really recommend it to everyone!

This is a good app and a good robot it has given my daughter confidence in doing the things she loves and perusing her dreams to become a programmer! I really enjoy watching her play and I hope that other people feel the same about this amazing robot! 😉
