It should’ve been like 12 every couple days or smth. ### 3/5 — good but not enough *2026-05-28, version 4.2.8* I scanned series 29 and got a couple goodies but when I went to scan it today it was not an option as I used all my scans! What so I had to buy a plus to scan more. I can’t see retired sets due to a subscription aswell a good app but to much behind a pay wall ### 4/5 — Checklist *2026-05-11, version 4.2.6* The numbers don’t track between devices ### 2/5 — Trouble scanning *2026-05-01, version 4.2.5* I had a lot of trouble scanning the minifigures today ### 4/5 — Series 29 *2026-04-29, version 4.2.4* App is having a difficult time scanning the series 29 minifigs, could be that it’s 2 days before the official drop? ### 3/5 — Update 4/23 *2026-04-24, version 4.2.3* Since the update my scanner isn’t working at all. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother. *2026-04-11, version 4.0.0* Try a different one that doesn’t ask for a subscription. ### 2/5 — Scanner Collection *2026-03-30, version 4.0.0* Paid for the year and then began adding starting with minifigures to my collection. I mostly got this because I wanted to be able to track all minifigures I own not really track sets. Once I started deep diving into the app I can only add sets to collections cannot find a way just to add all individual minifigures. The scanner can’t even figure out how to get it to work but don’t really care about that feature as much as what I really thought the app would be like. I feel like there be a 3-7 day free trial to really understand the app and learn it. Feel like I wasted $24.99 now as the app doesn’t satisfy what I thought I would be able to do on it. ### 5/5 — Scans *2026-03-17, version 3.5.1* What happens when you reach the limit on scans do you have to buy more ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-07, version 4.2.8* Told me I would get robo dino but I got scuba lady don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Camera broken *2026-07-10, version 4.2.8* Scanner doesn’t work ### 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 ### 1/5 — Didn’t work. *2026-06-22, version 4.2.8* $5 down the drain. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-05-31, version 4.2.8* I downloaded the app to scan a lego minifigure. Once I scanned it, the app said I needed premium to scan that item. I signed up for premium and the scan still dose t work. ### 1/5 — money hungry *2026-04-29, version 4.2.4* gotta pay for “plus” to do anything ### 1/5 — Forced notifications *2026-04-27, version 4.2.3* Every time I open the app a pop-up telling me to turn on notifications happens. I’ve already said no. It’s annoying and unethical to continue unending prompting of their users to turn on notifications. It’s 2026, no means no. ### 1/5 — It does not scan ! *2026-04-27, version 4.2.3* Shame on this company ### 1/5 — Ksnd *2026-04-19, version 4.0.0* Scan doesnt work ### 1/5 — It’s terrible *2026-04-12, version 4.0.0* I couldn’t even scam my Legos ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — peak *2026-07-26, version 4.2.8* peak ### 5/5 — W app got the goal keeper *2026-07-26, version 4.2.8* W app ### 5/5 — Ez *2026-07-21, version 4.2.8* Ez ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-06-26, version 4.2.8* 👍 the trash monster was my favorite, but they are all pretty cool! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-06-05, version 4.2.8* I love this app just started to use it now was spending hundreds on mini series to get the same ones now I can just scan the bar code and boom u got it I like to thank the creates of this app ### 5/5 — Super cool App. *2026-05-05, version 4.2.5* I love this app, I’ve used it to identify what Lego minifigures were in the packages so I can keep them sealed, it was %100 accurate. Thank you developers. ### 5/5 — Minifigures *2026-05-01, version 4.2.5* The best app ever to scan mystery box and get right item and avoiding duplicates.
