The F.A.Q. for Wowwee Chip Robot Toy Dog - White (5805)

It does not goes to sleep even after half an hour as mentioned in the manual. Even there is no interactions, it keeps making noises and running around the whole day and night. When the alarm is set for the next morning, it barks, running around and making noises the whole night and it was really annoying. Won't need to set the alarm as it keeps us awake the whole night. . Propose that it can incorporate the functions/features of an ip camera to really serve as a guard dog as well, but if it doesn't goes to sleep if there is no intruder/interactions, it will be a terrible nuisance to keep receiving alerts 24 hours a day

On time and in great working order

There were some positives and negatives that my son and i experienced while playing with chip. There are several components that come with chip that help his interactive experience that i will also rate based on a 1-5 scale (5 being best). All which come with the purchase. You just need some aa batteries for the ball. O app: overall experience: 3. There is an app available from any smartphone or tablet play store. I was able to download to my android smartphone (i have kitkat software at this time) but you can also use it with ios. It was easy to download under 5 minutes. Bluetooth must be enabled and your device selected to be found with no time limits in order to work with the robot. We had a couple of issues with the set up process. The app and dog did not pair right away. I had to reboot both in order for them to find each other. I was prompted to update the firmware after the dog was found. This took 3 attempts before it completed without failing. I had to reboot the dog and my phone twice before it worked. Features of the app include a remote control feature, renaming of the dog option, trick guide, and an option to feed the dog. The feed dog option does not really serve a purpose in my opinion as you simply hold down on a food item like a milk bone, and flick it up the screen. There are no animations on the screen and the dog does not do anything. You simply get a small box that pops up that says feeding complete. O smart band: overall experience: 5. The smart band is to be worn by the owner of chip or whoever is playing with him at that time. There is a sensor on it that chip reacts to. He uses it to focus his attention in your direction which is helpful when you play fetch, soccer, or follow me. You can use the smartband in various modes including, location, play mode, voice recognition, and even as a remote control. The smart band is very responsive and easy to use. It was already paired when we turned on the band, however, according to the instructions all you have to do is hold it near chip s back for a couple of seconds. The band charges via provided usb cable. O smart bed: overall experience: 2. The bed is what is used as chip s charger. His eyes turn purple when his batteries are running low. This is supposed to be the indicator that he will start looking for his bed to return to so he can start to charge. However, he rarely found his bed and when he finally did, the connectors would not sit properly. He kept getting back up, trying to readjust. My son helped him but he would stand back up before charged so his eyes were still purple. We found it easiest to just simply plug in the provided ac adapter into his belly. O smart ball: overall experience: 4. Chip s favorite thing to do is to play with the smart ball. He shows excitement when you turn it on. To pair it, you simply hold it near his back for a few seconds. It does require batteries that are not rechargeable. It was fun for my son, and for me to watch, him play soccer with chip. He rolls the ball towards chip and chip charges it in his effort of sending it back to my son. They played like this for a good 30-45 minutes! . Chip sometimes had a hard time finding the ball when we played fetch and the ball went too far out of reach. You need to be within 10 feet or so for it to work best. He would have a hard time picking it up and you have to move the ball so that the sensor is facing him correctly. . Overall cons:. O voice recognition attempts fail on the first command most of the time. To help with this, lower your voice slightly. Once we renamed him via the app, he responded to my son much better. O sensors are slightly weak. He ran into the walls quite a few times, and i certainly do not see him navigating an obstacle course. He is very fast so he ramming into the wall could damage the wall or dog, so be careful of where you are playing with him. O the ball has to be moved sometimes to ensure the sensors are facing chip so he can retrieve the ball or go towards it. O you have to keep the ball within 10 feet or so or chip can t find it. . Overall experience:. O for me as the parent: 3. O for my child: 4. O my son and my favorite things to play with chip were soccer, dance command, renaming him via the app so that the voice recognition worked better, following game (where he follows the smartband wearer around the house), and playing soccer. My son really enjoys chip and played with him non stop for about 2 hours although some of that time was trying to help chip find the ball and charge properly. As a parent, i did lose interest pretty quickly. However, it was fun to watch my son interact with the robot as if it was a new puppy trying to teach it new tricks.

My daughter loves chip. Goes back to the pad fine and she loves watching it play fetch, dance and do yoga. But. The watch does not work. Would never even take a charge so that functionality is not available. The replacement watches are out of stock so i'm guessing this is a common problem.

He's absolutely adorable. I look forward to the regular updates to see what wowwee has done to improve chip. I hope the beaconsense would be refined further in the process as the updates come, as he still runs into walls. It would be great if chip could easily find his way back to his charger because sometimes he struggles. But otherwise, this is awesome. The wowwee team is great and i've had some minor issues with chip; whenever i open a ticket through their website, customer service pulls through and they are able to solve all my problems/.

Chip was an early christmas present for my 10 year old nephew, and he loves it! travels without a problem on hardwood, or rugs and follows all commands. I would definitely recommend.

Z. Brendon, Knowsley

This is really cute! my 9 year-old daughter loves it. The reason i gave it a 4 is that it is not a cheap toy, yet it forces the user to download an app and use a smart phone to have the toy make additional moves that are not possible with the small watch-like remote control that came with it. While there are advantages of using an online app to play with a toy (! ) the part i don't like is that every click you make can be captured and stored. I am not too happy about that!

My son are very happy this dog is amazing

My son loves this. The only draw back to it that i have found so far is the lack of instructions on how to operate it. They are very unclear. Also, when you finally figure out how to use voice command, it's very picky on what it recognizes. Sometimes, we find ourselves saying "hey, chip" 7 or 8 times before it recognizes that you're talking to it. Also, it does not recognize commands you would think a "dog" would. Such as roll over, or speak.

Very cute! so far, my 7yr old loves it, it was the 1 thing he really really wanted from santa. The games it plays are fun, the tricks it does are entertaining and it seems to respond pretty well to commands. The app that works with it is pretty neat, teaches responsibility for caring for chip, as far as feeding, play time & battery level. I like how it knows when it needs to recharge itself & goes to its bed on its own, that is a great feature! some people were saying you cant charge it without its bed but that's not true (i hate when people leave bad reviews for things they just did not read in the instructions or are misinformed about! ) it tells you, you can hook up a regular usb cable right to chip directly- it was same exact charger as my cell phone - which is great for travel, emergencies, if the battery dies and chip cannot sit himself on his bed, etc! so far so good with it overall really no complaints except that our real dog does not like this imposter lol
