### 1/5 — Ugg

*2026-06-29, version 2.3.2*

I like the app but something changes. It keeps asking me to rate it after I have done it. Not sure if it’s a glitch or they are trying to get 5 stars. It has become so annoying that every time it asks I now give it 1 star. Fix the issue

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-06, version 2.3.2*

Really good app where I can sort sets easily by theme and movie and such and find instructions for everything. It’s very easy to use and seems to have every set I highly recommend

### 5/5 — Brick by brick

*2025-12-31, version 2.3.2*

Incredibly useful and easy to use

### 5/5 — You are awesome!!!!:);)

*2025-09-21, version 2.3.2*

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-07-27, version 2.3.2*

I love the app because i can look at all the different Lego themes in alphabetical order. and I like the feature were you can want or put the sets you already have and make the list so you remember the sets you want and have. and I also like that you can favorite a theme or set so you don’t lose the set or theme your looking. for I also like when you click on a theme it shows you all the different categories. and  you can also pick the year you want to see the sets that came out that year. I like how you have to click in the set you want to click to see the instructions and have to download the Instructions first. and I like that they separated each booklet from the other booklet your looking. at I have one complaint you should add the feature to see the price of the sets and mini figures and scan a pile of Lego bricks to see the set that they go to so you can rebuild it.

### 2/5 — Instructions won't load

*2025-05-23, version 2.3.2*

Concept and layout of the app is great, but most instructions for the sets do not load and are unusable.

### 3/5 — Not for newer iPhones

*2025-05-16, version 2.3.2*

I’d love to use the app but with newer iPhones, the barcode scan function no longer works due to its camera settings

### 5/5 — Easy set lookup

*2025-03-27, version 2.3.2*

Handy for quick reference of set pictures, dates, and numbers.

### 4/5 — a pretty good app

*2025-03-14, version 2.3.2*

It has instructions for tons of sets,tells you how much bricks and minifigs they have and it has news about upcoming Lego sets. It only has one problem, whenever you go to the news section there are pop up ads and 
they are hard to get off without closing the app. It isn’t too bad since you can look at the latest Lego sets elsewhere, but it would be nice if that section worked better.

### 1/5 — One star review

*2025-03-12, version 2.3.2*

I thought you just gave you Lego set instructions. One star I would do a zero star if I could
