Q: Does the portal only work for one person? Or can two people with gel blasters use the same portal?

submitted by Maria Elena - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi Maria Elena, there are multiple player games within the Nexus app, so the Portal can be a multi player.

It doesn't work. No exaggeration. You literally take it out of the box, power it with either batteries or the included cord, then it flashes for eternity. It doesn't react when you shoot it, or even tap it. It. Doesn't. Work. If you, like me, are thinking about getting around this issue using the cooI app they advertise, then think again! I will spare you the months of disappointment I went through with the customer service for this trash; they just gave up stopped replying after a while. Maybe that's why they DELETED THE APP from the Play Store outright. I'm mostly venting my frustration at this point, but if even one person saves their money instead of wasting it on this abject failure, then I can be proud.

Bought three of them, just to find out they don't work with android like they say. Can't even update them on a computer. Very disappointed.

Like the concept, but it doesn't work. The pads have to be updated as soon as you get them out of the box. You can't use them until you do. The problem is that the device doesn't want to be updated. They can't be used with any phone other than current Apple devices. So I had to use my son's phone to try to get the app set up so they could play if I ever got them updated. Hours later, they are updated and STILL useless. They don't respond the way they are supposed to and are constantly glitching. Quiet a number since we bought 3 pads, A starfire s, 4 starfire XL, 10 boxes of gellett blasters, and 4 Gel Blaster- Gellett Depo. The pads were key in this. I have 4 boys from late elementary- college... I was really hoping they would shoot those instead of each other. I wish they would fix the glitch.

I ordered two of these targets, from Target...haha. Unfortunately, neither of them seem to work at all. I tried playing with basic functionality per the instructions and the targets just keep blinking with no apparent response to being shot. Then, I tried connecting them to my phone using the Gel Blaster app and got stuck in an endless cycle of the targets failing to finish updating and was never able to actually get to the point of playing a game using these portals. Thus, for me the product has been a complete waste of time and money.

When we get tired of chasing each other around or you're just warming up and waiting for others, it's nice to just have a target to practice. and some of the games in it are a fun way to keep it interesting and get better

My kids have been gelblaster fans for a while but I was really blown away by this piece of tech - way more advanced than I expected. Chasing each other around the house/yard was fun while it lasted, but with the app and minigames and new challenges it's added tons of hours of fun to my kids blasters. they track their scores and work on their math skills while they're at it LOL. way to go gelblaster, this little target adds so much to the fun!

The Portal makes target practice fun! I love that it has a lot of game modes to choose from. Whether you are playing multiplayer or solo, the portal is more fun with more targets, especially if you play Watch Out! Would buy again.

I have two of these and a Gel Blaster Surge. my sons and I take turns playing the different game modes and trying to beat each other. they have been hit with thousands of gellets and show no sign of wear or tear. The lights are visible even in the sun, and it's great to get them outside to play. I will probably get a third one, because the more you have, the better the challenge. We haven't tried hanging them yet, we just use the built in kickstands. The app has 5 or 6 different game modes. Lots of fun, and much better than regular boring targets. Thanks for finding this gem, Target!

My kids got into Gel Blasters over this last year and when the Portal came out, we bought one to try it out. About a week later we bought 3 more, because you can connect them together! It uses a free mobile app that gives you different skill games to play. Super fun and my kids LOVE it. The best part is that the company will relase updates with new games and challenges
