The editors didn't like
Challenging controls at first
Pricey
Some apps are not responsive and crash very often
Users need to re-calibrate all the time
Despite some issues
I think the Sphero 2.0 is still a great modern gift for any kid or geek out there. I was really surprised with its precise driving experience
Expensive
Occasionally difficult to wake up
Three hours to fully charge
May not hold ones interest very long
Some of the apps get old quickly or require two Spheros
Occasionally drops the Bluetooth connection
But repairing is easy
Still requires calibration every time you turn it on

Which happens fairly often unless you're stationary. The “whack to wake it up” feature doesn't always work prope
