Just got this update which renamed my app to “iRobot Home (Classic)” so I looked up what’s “non-classic” and found this.
I bet it has more tracking and less features.
This guy technologies
The Roomba® Home app is compatible with Roomba® 100, 200, and Plus 400 series robots sold after March 2025. For other models, please download the iRobot Home (Classic) app.
From the app description.
FWIW you can use a Roomba without an app. You… push the physical button on the robot, and voila. No app, no connection, still cleaning.
Sure you can’t schedule cleaning but honestly unless you have a version that can empty it’s own trash recipient and your house is always robot cleaning friendly (so… 0 cable on the way, chairs aside, etc) it’s rarely a huge efficiency gain.
Honestly I feel like 10y/o there was a lot of hype around vacuuming robot but it didn’t “explode” in popularity because it’s not really such a big difference.
