I have the botac connected I really don't remember how I set it up now, but I think I needed cited help for the very original setup. mind you, the app was much less access a ball then. One time, when I got into a mess with it, and there was no one here with me, are used be my eyes to sort it out. most of the time, I don't use the app I just press the button. in the past I have had several roombersand more recently the Neato, I find the Neato is the best! it is also cheaper and has very good mobility skills, better than mine… I don't know about the more recent roombers, but one thing the neato does, if it can't get back to the doc, it goes back to the place where you set it off. So, you always know where it will be.
