    Be advised, APP is and has not been working or updated. Sensor is a Paperweight
    Was never able to create a much needed account on their website to use or program the sensor thus making this stem system useless. Program does not look like its even been updated since its release in 2019. However, that is not the issue the issue is their server and their app not working. No way to communicate or to get help either from the company in the UK called Kano. Hoping those that read this will take heed and look into other learning solutions. I hope as well Amazon will read this and look into it as well to help protect their customers.
