RGB Critter BT Updates

Firmware and app updates for the RGB Critter BT

How updates work

Every update installs from the AOAM app, straight to your Critter.

The AOAM app downloads and installs all firmware and app updates for your RGB Critter BT, and lets you know when a new one is ready. Firmware installs from the Devices page of the app.

RGB Critter BT

Being worked on now

Dates and details are estimates and may change.

Fix in progress

Investigating

Buttons that stop responding

A firmware issue where the RGB Critter BT can stop responding to its buttons, and only restarts after the battery is removed.

Coming
