Idea is great
Response from developer
Thanks for jumping in early. There’s an update coming on the 19th and then a big refresh 4 weeks on from there. There’s been lots of little improvements lately and by November you will be impressed! Stay awesome.
Every LEGO fan should have this app!
What I didn’t expect was to become proof that the drawings are very, very real.
I recently received an email telling me I had won emagineer’s $12,000 LEGO Experience drawing. My first reaction was basically, “Yeah… sure I did.” I actually thought it might be a scam. Turns out it wasn’t. I really won.
And that’s something I think deserves to be said publicly: these aren’t drawings where you wonder whether some mysterious person somewhere actually wins. Real members win. I did. And I certainly didn’t expect it to be me.
What has impressed me just as much, though, is everything that has happened since. I’ve had the opportunity to speak directly with the team, including founder Kieran, and their excitement for the community is genuine. They listen to feedback, they’re continuing to develop the app, and they actually seem to care about making it better rather than simply collecting memberships.
Winning obviously makes for one hell of a bonus, but I wouldn’t recommend emagineer solely because I won. I recommend it because I believe in what they’re trying to build: a community and an app that makes being a LEGO fan even more fun.
And if you’re looking at one of those drawings thinking, “Nobody ever actually wins those things…”
Hi. I’m nobody. Apparently I won. 😂
Five stars from one extremely surprised and very grateful Pioneer

Oh thanks Sam. We appreciate you and couldn’t think of a more deserving winner. Looking forward to meeting you and shooting your shopping spree next week! As (what LEGO themselves call) “the big idea” we know what we can add to for a world of LEGO fans. The more fans that join us the faster we get there. Thanks for being part of the community and the journey.
Awesome
Response from developer
Thanks so much for the support and great review. Our idea deserves the rating and the comments but as a team we know we aren’t there just yet. We are close though so if you love us now you will be amazed at what’s in store over the coming weeks.
Not worth the bassle

Hi Blijjard. Would love to sort out where this went so wrong for you. I’m the founder. You can email me at keira@emagineer.world

Thanks so much for the awesome review Smartacus. We appreciate you. Thanks also for coming and joining our community in the emagineer discord. It’s great to hear first hand from users what we do well, what we can do better and also hear about the ideas you have for the future of LEGO®️ play. Stay awesome 🙌🏼
App doesn’t work anymore
Not ready for even pre-release
UI is clunky and looks unfinished, there are buttons with no text or icons so you don’t know what they do until you click on them.
Other than the sweepstakes, I don’t see what this app does differently than any other LEGO inventory app.
Small tip for the devs, the countdown timer on the sweepstakes page, use a proper time format with 00:00:00:00 so when the minutes and seconds are under ten you see 09 etc. not doing that looks makes the timer text “jumpy”, and like it was rushed and not tested internally.
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. We know the UI isn’t where we all want it and that’s why it’s early access. Come and join us in the discord and you can have a say in what we do next. Here’s the link; https://discord.gg/aVxX97SvxB Have you tried making a Brickie? Maybe that will demonstrate the potential. No-one has ever been able to generate a one of one LEGO set complete with parts list and 3D build instructions before. We can already do this in BrickHeadz form and we are just getting started. Imagine what this will be like once the UI is humming and the AI can build anything!
Good I’m waiting for you to be great
Also, I like the options for different themes so you can add a lot of sets if you have many of the theme or look for sets you want to build in the theme. But the botanical theme is not working on my app. No sets show up and I have tried many many times. Also, many themes are not there. I assume the developers are continuously adding. Another thing, I have a lot of old sets. Many do not come up when searched on the app. I would love for them to continue to update to include more sets so that I can add them all and determine more sets I can build.

Thanks so much for joining emagineer during early access and for such a detailed explanation of ideas and how we can be better. We appreciate you! Have you joined our discord? That’s where we are building a community and that’s where you can be part of the future of LEGO play. We have weekly calls with users/creators and our Founders and it’s how we learn about what we are doing well, what we can do better and prioritize the roadmap with the features you want to see. Here’s the link https://discord.gg/sQy6cNZB Would love to see you in there so we can make emagineer better faster!!
App doesn’t work correctly
Response from developer
Hi there. If you ever have any challenges or hit bugs during our early access the best bet is to join our discord (link is at emagineer.world) and one of the team or community will help you out. The last thing we are looking for with the free version of our app is for a user to be unable to vote and have a chance to win our weekly $1000 LEGO giveaway and to give us a one star rating. To vote just drag the crown up and anoint your favorite bundle. It’s that easy. Good luck.
