It may have worked for your devices, but for many others it was an absolute nightmare for us to support And this is because we received thousands of complaints of some devices being incompatible with playing audio. Actually, the only feature that has been limited is the Sound Board PC. That is why many of the mobile feature have always been limited compared to the big brother ARC (or legacy EZ-Builder). If there was another option to support dynamic skills and advanced technologies on mobile, I would have figured out a solution - but mobile technology is just too limiting. Your students will end up in careers using ARC for Windows - however, the basics of ARC mobile is still a great introduction. While the ARC mobile can provide basic Blockly & RoboScratch programming to students, the industry of robotics is advancing so quickly that newer technologies require PC CPUs and peripherals. Which, ironically, will be the industries that your students will grow up to work in. While a large number of our users are in education, a significant portion of our users are enterprise and scientific development. It's a difficult compromise between supporting legacy mobile apps and advanced technologies. To support on-going advanced developments of robotics, ARC has been designed to support cutting-edge technologies - which unfortunately are not compatible with mobile device operating systems and hardware. The future of robotics will not be powered by mobile devices due to their limited OS feature-set and hardware. ARC for Windows has been designed to harness the powerful capabilities of PC CPUs and peripherals. Summary is, the ARC mobile works as intended for the functionality required for EZ-Robot product default apps (JD, Roli, Six & AdventureBot). The only function removed from ARC mobile is the Soundboard PC (which i'll expand on below). The mobile app will be maintained as-is to support the EZ-Robot partner company products. Mobile devices are not computers and therefore do not provide the advanced functionality of ARC. The challenge of supporting the free mobile app is that the ARC design of add-on skills is not compatible with mobile devices. The mobile app was always limited to provide the default functionality for our partner company EZ-Robot's product support. I should have been more clear - we're phasing it out for supporting new advanced ARC skills.
