Awesome to build but...
This was an awesome robot to build with the kids, but once we reached a step that required turning the robot on, it would start to move and shutdown or continue to complain the sensor or motor was not connected. I ended up finding the full instructions online to complete the build, since the app prevents you to move on. So all in all, a great project to build, but expensive when you can't actually use it.

Nice set
I am writing this on behalf of my daughter (almost 7 years old) who found the current (3.5) rating unfair. She loves playing with her Boost set and she thinks it is very cute (her words here). In general it is a really fun set to play with. I do have to help her with the programming interface and she is still not able to program by herself but it has definitely promoting her interest in programming. The overall experience with the software has been flawless (we use it under iOS). The program blocks are separated by colors based on the type of command and are very intuitive to work with.

Best Lego Set ever
As a Data Scientist, I wanted to teach my kids coding. My daughter is 5 was able to build code play without having to read a word. By far my favorite lego set ever.

I purchased this Boost set for my 8 year-old daughter as a reward for earning good grades in math. She has spent about four hours putting together Vernie and trying out the coding app. A couple of parts were a little challenging for her to build, but she was able to figure out how to build the robot. She is super excited about programming/coding the robot and is very excited to try to build the cat next. This was a great set and excellent value for the money.

Nice build with son
The building process, via phone, was 'ok' but not the same as using the usual paper instructions. I actually liked the stages of the build, checking moment as you went.
At first it was great...but then the batteries died! :-( Wow, that was quick. 5 minutes online and it was swiftly converted to run from a usb charger! Result, that should be an option instead of aaa batteries. So far, love it, and my son (6) was quick to get the hang of the action controls via the app.

Fantastic Set
Bought this set for my daughter last Christmas (she was 6 1/2). She has absolutely loved it. Over the next few months, she built every set in the app, took it to school to demo for her class, and her teacher is buying one for her sons. My son (then 9 1/2) had to help her with a few small things, but for the most part, she did it all on her own. She is an experienced Lego builder for her age, so the building portion of the set is appropriate-to-slightly-challenging for her age range and experience. The coding concepts were somewhat new to her, but it was a great opportunity for her big brother to help guide her through it. The coding is easy to learn and she is doing it on her own now. For her seventh birthday she wanted the big Coaster set to connect to BOOST and has played with that for months. My only wish is that there were more sets to integrate with BOOST as the kids enjoy it so much.

Wondeful set
I feel compelled to write a review to boost the average product rating, which in no way reflects the brilliance of this set. It is WONDERFUL. Great to build and more fun to play with than any LEGO set I have ever seen. My son loves it. He just turned the TV off to build some more. HE TURNED THE TV OFF!! The app is great. If you doubt that it will work on your tablet, download it and try it before you buy the BOOST set. I did this, because it seemed my tablet might not have all the necessary specs. Also, the app seems to have been updated so that the models don't have to be built in a certain order (see complaints in other reviews). Having the bits sorted into bags according to the order in which they are needed is not realistic for a LEGO set where you can choose between 5 models. Open all the bags and sort the bits into different trays according to colour!

Great coding practises.
Only thing I didn’t like about this LEGO product is the fact I had to purchase tablets for the kids to program everything. In this day and age we have iPhones and chrome books and other electronics, you’d think they’d allow you to program using more than just a tablet. I’ve spent 2 years trying to save up for the sets themselves for my twins, buying tablets made it almost a no go for me.
