### 5/5 — Worth it

*2026-08-03, version 4.2.8*

I love the fact you can scan the mini figures and see exactly what you are getting, it’s also extremely helpful to keep track of all your Lego items. I highly recommend this app especially if you’re a mini figure collector!! Well worth the yearly subscription.

### 1/5 — You have to have notifications on?

*2026-07-04, version 4.2.8*

I have lots of apps and most I don’t want notifications. If you don’t have notifications on the app opens with a pop up that says to turn them on but you can’t close it off. 

I was doing a free trial but I think I will cancel it now. I don’t know why notifications are being used this way but I don’t feel comfortable using this app. 

Going to quit the free trial and delete

### 5/5 — Great App!

### 1/5 — Didn’t work.
