App-controlled toys

An app turns a device with two or three fixed settings into something closer to an instrument. It also introduces an account, a data policy and a dependency on software that has to keep working for years. This category collects the devices where the app is central rather than incidental, and every entry is assessed on the software as much as the hardware.
