I’ve tried running a few at the same time, they usually don’t run in to each other since they use Lidar to see where they are. I still have an iphone but I’ve been using a google pixel as my primary phone for a while now, there are certain things that are just easier on Android. However, the robot interfaces are the same on both platforms. It’s Sunday morning and I want to send one out to clean, I just can’t decide which one, but I’m thinking the Roomba J9 Plus.
