The included information for the app does not work at all, its as if it doesn't exist. I have been to 5 different sites to download the app for this thing and not a single one will work. The band is absolutely useless without it. I'm determined to eventually find it, but it's really frustrating knowing what the band is capable of doing and not being able to even use it. If I can get this thing connected and start collecting the other sounds and so on, I will edit my review but rn, not pleased that the company hasn't made this easier to do.

Too small to fit on my wrist I know it's geared more toward children. A review I saw on YouTube had a adult using it and it looked like fun. Still can't seem to get the right app either.

This seems like the way that BB-8 should have been being controlled all along!!!

I got the original BB-8 last year when it was first released, and I've truly enjoyed using it with the app on my phone. However, when I saw that the Force Band was finally being released, I pre-ordered it right away. After having it for 10 days now I have to say I'm extremely happy with the product.

It works EXACTLY as advertised. Force Push forward to get rolling...lower your arm to slow down and stop. Bring your hand back towards you in a "Come Here" type of motion, and BB-8 will roll backwards. Turn by basically simply pointing left or right.

I will say that this takes a bit of getting used to. My initial uses all resulted in what seemed like a series of uncoordinated crashes while I flailed about like a maniac. However, after some practice I was controlling BB-8 like a Jedi Apprentice...with more and more skills developing as I practice more and more.

I've used the Force Band in it's other modes much more limitedly. I've only collected a couple of Holocrons, so I don't have a ton of experience doing that...however, it does work as shown in the Tutorial videos. I've also only used it for "Combat Training" a couple of times. It works well in this mode, also. I could see the Combat Training being something that kids could really get into, considering the sound effects react really well to your arm movements. It would add a cool element to light saber and blaster battles.

Overall, I'm really happy with the Force Band. It meets all of my expectations, and does everything it says it does...and does it well.

Absolutely love this product, especially when it first came out. I bought these new ones for my nieces and the app to connect to it is now gone so now they are useless.

I bought this simply for cosplay purposes and have no intention of using it for its intended purposes. In fact, I plan to alter its appearance slightly. For that reason alone, the price for this is perfect! It's lightweight (no heavier than a normal watch) and the band has a magnetic clasp that's easy to snap on and off.
That being said, the packaging (though beautiful) was in a foreign language and the instructions for how to connect it to your phone in order to control your droid, consisted of only 2 pictures. After watching a tutorial video to find out how this was supposed to be used, the person posting it demonstrated a few operational issues making it look like the device wasn't exactly reliable. Then again, it's only $10!
