It is stated in several places that SBrick requires a BLE (BT Smart) compatible device.
It is also written that Android brought support to this only with version 4.3.

Unfortunately technical limitations are nowhere to be found on the Sbrick KS page or homepage so I really feel for the guys having incompatible HW. The early pledgers had no playstore page to tell them the version compatibility.

Hello Fernando and all,
Thanks for the insight but I’m afraid that the piece of information provided is far from being explicit in any place on https://www.sbrick.com/ or even in https://social.sbrick.com/. Stating “most recent Bluetooth Technology” does not tell you that a 2 year old smartphone is unable to work with it.
It should not be necessary to be an expert to take advantage of this great effort called SBrick. It is not a finished work but I’m not a beta tester, not a HW/SW expert to know that BLE is and probably a very lousy Lego builder.
BUT I’m a backer that would deserve an explicit HW/OS requirements and a configuration manual with the necessary steps to make the thing work without having to dig inside forums and much more advanced discussions that just make me feel dummier than what I am.
Matej Papluh, thanks for your support, really appreciate and agree. Don’t worry, I know Fernando personally, is a friend and an inspiring LEGO and “time” builder.
As a suggestion for SBRICK team, please make that information clearly available and explicit on the web pages.
Regards,
Pedro
