Greedy developers, don’t recommend

Liked the older version better. Used it for many months, was free, now they want to charge you monthly for it or limit to 5 scans per day. Greedy developer. I do NOT recommend anymore. You can’t go from a free program that many people used, to now charging them for it. That is such a scuzbag, greedy move. At least let us keep the old version that was free.

Greedy dev!

Asking for a subscription of 10 dollars a month is just a joke! Seriously what is the rationale behind that? I would have gladly paid for one time payment. This is more expensive thaan microsoft 360 haha

Huge time saver

Yes you can use Google lens to do the same thing but it’s not the same thing. After getting exhausted with how much time it took to use lens, I searched for something else and this is exactly what I was looking for

Not a good app. It loses Wi-Fi often and only gets the piece correct like 50-75% of the time. Definitely unacceptable, considering the developer used months of labor and data collection from his users before slapping a paywall on the app lol.

It should be illegal for a developer to provide an app for free, collect months of user data to make the app better, then pull a bait-and-switch on everyone that did all the work for them, REMOVE core functionality from the app, and try to charge $$$ for an app you already own. Like there should literally be a law against exactly this.

Costly

Without subscription app is limited. $70 a year or $10 monthly. No thanks. Plenty of free sites online that will identify your minifigs.

Ruined

Shame they made this a premium service. Was a really good app! They gotta pay the bills I suppose but I won’t be paying $60. See ya

Premium does not work

I tried to get premium by tapping the crown the app kinda works I like it but only 5 a day make it like 30 or 50 a day at least please

A must have!

This is my first review ever!, if that doesn’t say anything then I don’t know what els would. I truly don’t know what I would do without this app, as someone who has sorted 1000+ figures/parts and complete 500+ figures I am very satisfied with this incredible app!, a lot of the negative reviews are regarding the premium cost, which in my opinion having the premium option has been incredible, it’s worth every penny to me. The other side of negative reviews is the app not being able to distinguish the pieces, which that tends to be a user error, make sure the photo is clear I can’t stress that enough, I love this app!, I also like a lot how it will not only tell me the value of the figure but it will also give me a URL link that directs me to the market where I further expand my knowledge. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thank you to the developers of this app, I truly give you all props for the creativity and the functionality of this incredible app, 5 stars all day from me!

Terrible app. Sort reviews by Recent

Barely functional. Loses WiFi connection often. Only identifies parts correctly like 50% of the time at best. Definitely NOT worth paying actual $$$, especially since Google Lens and other brickscanning apps are more accurate and FREE.

Not to mention the fact that the dev pulled a massive “bait and switch” by offering the app for free for months to let users train his “AI”, then once everyone did enough work for him to make his app functional, he slapped a paywall on it. As far as I’m concerned, it should be illegal to remove core functionality from an app YOU ALREADY OWN. Poor decision, Mr. developer. Such little respect for your user base :(

Subscription??

Used to be free but made an outrageous £40 per year subscription cost, don’t recommend when there is apps like brickognize which do the same scan for free.
