### 2/5 — Have to pay to even open the app

*2026-10-16, version 1.4.3*

Man I thought this app looked so cool but it’s completely paywalled. $40 a year or $9.99 a week to get access to this app. I don’t mind paying for apps at all, but I can’t even see what the app can do without paying. How am I supposed to know if this app is worth paying for without being able to see what you offer. Really cool concept but I don’t want to pay for anything I haven’t seen. Should include a free 2-7 days of using the app for users to see if they even like your product.

### 1/5 — Waste of time,

*2026-10-09, version 1.4.3*

Don’t bother downloading this app. I assumed it would be useful for some build tutorials but you’d be surprised to know you HAVE to pay. $9.99 a week, or $39.99 a year. Absolutely ridiculous if you ask me. They don’t even offer any free options so you can verify if you want to waste your money on it.
Better off looking up free tutorials online, there are thousands after all.

### 2/5 — The classic subscription scam

*2026-10-08, version 1.4.3*

App comes across as free. When you download and go through the quirky “set up” you find out it’s strictly subscription based at $40 per year. This should be illegal to have a free to download app without the subscription fee in the description when you go to install.

### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible

*2026-10-08, version 1.4.3*

I mean I understand the app was created probably as a money grab sort of thing but the design is terrible, the fact that you have to pay for a subscription before even being able to access the app or see the builds is stupid, the builds themselves are meh. Functionality is terrible. Don’t see the point in the questions at the start cause it doesn’t actually tailor to your preferences anyway

### 1/5 — No free option. You can't even check out the features before you pay for them.

*2026-10-07, version 1.4.3*

Terrible

### 1/5 — It’s $30 or $10 a Week

*2026-10-07, version 1.4.3*

I got back into a phase with the boys and got an ad for this, and it made it look easy and I was really looking forward to flexing on the homies with new building skills but I HAVE TO PAY? I HAVE TO??? And it’s not like “oh pay $3 for a month” it’s $30!!! You’re advertising AI and have the AUDACITY to CHARGE MONEY? AI? For a game about creativity?

### 1/5 — Why it cost money 😂😂

*2026-10-07, version 1.4.3*

Why do I have to pay 40 a year when there are other ones that are free and in my opinion are better

### 1/5 — Very Misleading Ads

*2026-10-07, version 1.4.3*

I was not downloading a free app because I wanted to immediately be forced into a subscription purchase screen. I have seen countless videos on this app, and not one mentions a subscription service requirement. Either just charge for the app itself, or make it clear that you are required to purchase a subscription for access to the service. If you’re looking for a building guide, a video on YT would be better than paying for a service that doesn’t work most of the time, and when it does, you realize all the builds are mediocre at best.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-10-05, version 1.4.2*

When I downloaded the FREE app it immediately shows you have to pay a subscription to use it. I didn’t want to but it offered me a discount on the yearly price. It showed a much lower price then when I paid it was 4X what was advertised. Absolute scam.

### 1/5 — Why must we pay for everything?

*2026-10-05, version 1.4.2*

Apps can never be free anymore. Everything has to have a subscription. Disappointing and predatory behavior.

### 1/5 — Block Counting

*2026-10-04, version 1.4.2*

Using one of the blueprints. The blocks needed was incorrect as well as the list was short some blocks I needed. Very inconvenient. If your gonna make me pay please have the correct numbers for everything.

### 1/5 — Not Free

*2026-10-04, version 1.4.2*

If the app requires a subscription it should be advertised before installing. Don’t waist ur time.

### 1/5 — Pay to use

*2026-10-04, version 1.4.2*

You need to pay either $10 a week to use or £30 for a whole year. Paying for something like this is pointless when you can look up a tutorial online.

### 1/5 — Bruh

*2026-10-03, version 1.4.2*

I got an ad for this on Instagram saying “don’t watch YouTube videos when you can have this guide bla bla” and thought I’d check it out and was immediately disappointed to see that you can’t even use the app at all without paying for it. At least YouTube is free 🤣

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-10-03, version 1.4.2*

This should be a crime honestly. Forcing us to get the subscription just to even use the app? I’ve been sitting on the subscription screen for 15 minutes and there’s still no X. If it’s going to be behind a paywall, have people pay for the app.

### 1/5 — “Free app”

*2026-10-03, version 1.4.2*

Why would I pay for an app advertised as free when I can search YouTube for what I need? Do better.

### 1/5 — scam

*2026-10-03, version 1.4.2*

the app pretends to be free but you have to pay for it no matter what. don’t bother.

### 1/5 — Haven’t used the app at all

*2026-10-02, version 1.4.2*

Downloaded thinking this would be a neat tool to have in my back pocket to get sent straight to an expensive subscription plan. What justifies $9.99 a week or $40 a year. That is some outrageous pricing for information you can find for free

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2026-10-02, version 1.4.2*

I loved the idea of having a building guide on my phone. You have to go through a whole rigmarole of options to help your “experience” and then find out it’s all locked behind a giant subscription paywall.
 There’s nothing stated on the app in the beginning page or on the advertisement about subscriptions just to be able to open the damn app

### 1/5 — They lied

*2026-10-02, version 1.4.2*

It’s listed as free but you can’t actually use the app without a subscription. That should be more transparent!!!!! Deception is not cool people!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — You gotta pay

*2026-10-17, version 1.4.3*

You have to pay a 10$ fee for something that’s free

### 1/5 — Not Free

*2026-10-17, version 1.4.3*

It’s free to download but you can’t do anything without paying their subscription

### 1/5 — Wtf

*2026-10-15, version 1.4.3*

Why is there a subscription and why is it TEN DOLLARS per WEEK

### 1/5 — So close yet so far

*2026-10-13, version 1.4.3*

Man I was just playing Minecraft wondering what to build next and scrolling through Instagram and I saw an ad for this app and got super excited, it honestly looks like a cool app, step by step building instructions, diamond finders, it looked like it had it all, however no where on the ad did it include the fact all the features were all locked behind a paywall. I understand you need to profit but at least include that information in the ad before you advertise it to the public, your getting people’s hopes up and to rub salt into the wound, you don’t even have an exit out of the payment page, just buy or have another app you already don’t use on your phone. What a shame.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-10-13, version 1.4.3*

Not only does the app openly use AI, it also wants you to pay for tutorials that were probably taken from free online. Why would I pay for an app to show me to build things or find diamonds when there’s a free website to find anything on your world as well as thousands of free tutorials on other media apps. Everything on this app can be found for free on any other platform… don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — immediate pay wall

*2026-10-12, version 1.4.3*

downloaded this thinking it’d be free to use with maybe a subscription option for unlimited use, i was mistaken. i hate this new era of downloading free apps only to immediately be hit by an unpassable pay wall. would be 5 stars if i even got a small catalog of builds to choose from

### 1/5 — Pay for very little content

*2026-10-11, version 1.4.3*

Thought I would be able to find a lot of cool house and just general build designs but it’s incredibly lacking. Everything was either 10,000 materials needed, 20 materials needed, or is functionally useless. Would not recommend.

### 1/5 — Thats crazy

*2026-10-11, version 1.4.3*

To have ads about a app that could genuinely look good and be so useful but not let you use unless you purchase a subscription before you can even see if the game could be even semi beneficial to you while also not disclosing that in your ads is crazy work.

### 1/5 — Pay for access

*2026-10-11, version 1.4.3*

U gotta pay a subscription just to use the app. Any review above a 1 is a bot review. Don’t bother

### 1/5 — Need a subscription

*2026-10-11, version 1.4.3*

Would be fun to have new seeds and builds to try but I can’t unless I pay a monthly subscription
