### 4/5 — Instruct 3d

*2026-04-27, version 1.2.0*

Great app to make little builds for time but it doesn’t have any big builds

### 2/5 — Ok but.....

*2026-01-24, version 1.2.0*

It has few categories and sometimes you can’t build the stuff you want due to lack of pieces.

### 5/5 — Something that you don’t know

*2026-01-01, version 1.2.0*

This game is fun but you don’t need to have a game that shows you step by step instructions just build if you build you learn how to build just follow your gut

### 3/5 — Lego

*2025-12-25, version 1.2.0*

I just don’t like there’s no marvel Lego

### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!

*2025-09-21, version 1.2.0*

Do not download this app like literally in pretty much every single one of the buildings I didn’t have the right pieces. I can only build the baby sheep for the animals part and not even the big one I tried. I literally was digging in my bins. I couldn’t find it so yeah do not download this app worst app ever one star

### 2/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD!

*2025-07-11, version 1.2.0*

When I wanted to make something cool out of my old legos, I used this app, but when I was halfway through the build, it said I needed pieces I didn’t even have! It should’ve shown the list pieces needed to build it, I wasted like 1 hour of my time, Do Not Download! And also, after each step, there’s an ad that pops up and it’s super annoying! And the software is like very laggy, and there are only a limited amount of sets to build!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-05-23, version 1.2.0*

Works flawlessly

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-04-16, version 1.2.0*

It’s pretty good but it sad when u don’t have the bricks to make the thing

### 3/5 — Good but…

*2024-05-03, version 1.2.0*

It’s a really good app but I just don’t have all of the pieces which is disappointing when you can make a Lego structure that you wanted to do. Also doesn’t have all of the things you would want so that’s kind of sad to but over all it’s great. 👍

### 5/5 — Awesome LEGO graphics!

*2024-01-22, version 1.2.0*

This helps me build with my stray LEGO pieces.
 It is also nicer than to use plain LEGO instructions.
