What's New in BrickHunter

1.3.1

March 3, 2024

So many changes! Please read to understand what's new!  CLOUD! Yes, this is the initial release that supports iCloud Sync! What?!? What benefit is that? You can now use multiple devices to collect and all changes are updated across devices that share the same iCloud account. When installing on a new device, it may take a few minutes for changes to sync across, be patient and you will see the cloud icon showing the activity. If you are not signed into your iCloud account, you won't see a cloud at the top of the projects list. Other new features in this release: - CLOUD Sync - Sections! The section header for the parts being looked at will stick to the top of the list, color, part category, part name. - Lengths. Some parts are hard to tell their length when looking at an image. The longest length on those parts will now show in the bottom right corner of the image. (Mostly working) - Added "All Projects" collecting screen. Icons in the top right corner of the part show which set it belongs to. - Tap a part image to complete or clear its collecting - Tap on the part text to access details and partial collection quantity. (Long press for details removed.) - Partially collected parts now stand out with an orange glow. - Support for iPad - Support for MacOS devices running on Apple Silicon - Removed support for iOS14 due to new functionality support and up-coming features - If there is a possible color error in the image, the part border will reflect the correct color. - Added database tools to assist in deduplicating the local database in support of iCloud functionality - Fixed several bugs. To all the loyal users who have supported this project, THANK YOU! This app is developed without support of ads, because, let's face it, who likes ads? There is a tip option in the settings, but you are not obligated to use it. If you choose to, it is highly appreciated, and won't be forgotten!

User reviews

Crash. Unusable app.

Looks decent at first and bring Hope up to have an app that might possibly be great to help rebuild sets but this is completely useless because it just crashes. There is no use for this app. It should either be fixed or be removed from the App Store.

Meh.

Not that great. Alright, I suppose. Crashed every time I opened my projects, even though my phone is compatible with the app. I’m adding a third star because I don’t want to be that guy. If you guys update it, I’ll definitely reinstall and reevaluate.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear you haven’t had a good experience. I am always working to make BrickHunter a solid app and spend as much time testing as I can before releasing each update. If you have specifics on the issue you are having, please reach out to me through the various contact options in the help area of the app so I can resolve things I may not have experienced in testing. Also, if interested, I’d welcome you as a beta tester to give feedback on future releases. - Jason.

Great app, easy to use and super useful

Works very well for those looking to inventory lego sets. A few upgrades needed to make this a must, but definitely does the job. Would suggest to all!!

Excellent app for building

Love this app. It saves me planning time for my mocs.

Good idea but lacks ability to find MOC parts

The app is a good idea and quite useful however it does not allow users to find the parts for a moc, only official sets. Since there are many more mocs than official sets and because Rebrickable is mainly a site for mocs, I think the app would be more useful if mocs were showed as well.

Edit: I understand the limitations now.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review and for trying out BrickHunter! I must say I completely agree! Unfortunately back in April “due to too many sites stealing our MOC data” (according to Rebrickable.com) they have removed access to MOC data such as parts lists. I would love to see this app become popular enough that we could partner more closely with Rebrickable and offer parts list data for MOCs.
