SPIKE Essential

If you are a user of App 2 (Legacy App)

If you have been using SPIKE Essential previously, you are most likely to have been using SPIKE App 2. This is now called the SPIKE Legacy App as it has been replaced by SPIKE App 3.

You can download the SPIKE App 3 or use the web App (you need to use a Chrome browser) and then use it with SPIKE Essential. It will most likely ask you to update the firmware on the SPIKE Essential hub.

You will then have two Apps on your devices:

SPIKE App 2
(Legacy App)

SPIKE App 3
(New App)

When you no longer need access to the Legacy App, it is probably a good idea to delete it – but remember that means you won’t be able to access any of the projects you created with it.

Be aware:

• Projects created in SPIKE App 2 (Legacy App) won’t run on the SPIKE App 3
• If you are involved in competitions, it’s probably a good idea to stick with the App you started creating your projects on
• There have been some changes to the Icon Blocks and Word Blocks
