One of the only confusing things about the Sphero's iOS controls is that if you're walking around with the Sphero, the controls do not automatically change for your new position. In other words, if you start out to the south of Sphero and then step over to the north side of it, the controls will be backwards. This isn't a huge problem, though, as you can re-orient your position relative to the Sphero at any time using a two-finger gesture. My only real regret when testing Sphero is that I didn't have a cat to play with it.

Sphero is a fun and versatile iOS-controlled toy that's easy to use and entertaining for both you and your pets.
