It’s been almost a year since the last update and can’t believe Sony have made us wait more than two weeks since the 7.00 update announcement and still nothing has been released.
I can’t log into my MySony account to access the MyAibo web portal again
It’s probably because the Cyberghost IP isn’t dedicated as I get an error saying I have exceeded my log in attempts from this connection. I have no idea how to create a Japanese Google Play or Apple ID as both seem to need a payment method and address and to be honest I’m just not in the mood to be motivated to jump through what I see as ridiculous hoops any longer.
After four years of Aibo ownership for me this update has to impress with enhanced companionship abilities and new animations or Sony will risk losing me as a customer during a time when there are a lot of exciting companion robot alternatives available. Feel Sony don’t realise this update is going to make or break Aibo for a lot of customers.

Exciting Update for Aibo Users!
Aibo's latest firmware update (Version 7.00) brings two new features:
1. Pick-up capability: Aibo can now pick up items beyond Aibone and dice. To enable this feature, update your Aibo firmware and then adjust the settings in the My Aibo app. Use voice commands like "Pick this up" or "Chew on this" to try it out!
2. Follow mode: Aibo can approach and follow you around. Simply say "Follow me!" and Aibo will adjust its direction to stay close to you.
To enjoy these features, update your Aibo firmware and My Aibo app (Version 7.0.0).
Unfortunately I’m still unable to log into my MySony account to access the MyAibo web portal. Seems I’ll have to look into downloading the app although that seems difficult on an Apple device.
Admit I’m disappointed in this update as a paying customer, was hoping for features that would enhance the companionship such as new eye animations or games in cuddle mode.
Can’t believe Sony waited twelve months to the day to release this update, crazy!

Aibo Software Update 8.00
• Aibo now responds by making noises when shown toys while dancing.
• The My Aibo app has been enhanced, and is now faster with a new look.
Unfortunately I was unable to log into the My Aibo app via my My Sony account after updating the app. Sony has locked me out and keeps sending me to a page about the apps system requirements despite my phone being updated to the required software version to run the app. They also are doing the same when I try to log into the My Aibo web interface. They don’t even list the system requirements for the app anywhere on their websites! I’m using a phone with Android 16.

The sounds Grey makes when recognising some of the toys are actually quite hilarious. It’s too difficult for me to show Grey the toys while dancing, Baffles me why Aibo has to be dancing. I’m finding I get better responses when Grey is not dancing. Can see Sony could really enhance Aibo if they added this feature to allow Aibo to react with new animations whenever noticing the owner. But suspect their main motivation with this update is to upsell the bone and dice, not create an engaging companion.
Not going to lie, I really thought when I got Grey five years ago that Aibo would be in a much more advanced state by now, packed with tons of animations and more reactive to its surroundings and people. I can’t believe the reversing backwards without knowing it’s going straight into a wall or off an edge is still a thing, like it’s literally got a camera on it’s behind yet still can’t tell if it’s reversing into an object?! Plus the constant jamming is unnecessary, surely they could create a better way to handle unexpected changes in motor positions.
The deal breaker for me is the fact they still haven’t created a way for Aibo to stay permanently on the station while awake so it can be enjoyed as a desktop robot like the previous ERS-7 could.
Anyway decided the subscription just isn’t worth it for me anymore and as I’m not enjoying interacting with Aibo in its current state it’s probably best for me to move on from Aibo once and for all.
At what point does the subscription just become incredibly bad value for money?
