Terrible update loss of experience
Absolutely horrible update for this train set. It has made it a really poor playing experience for the old red trains with lack of interactive buttons, speed control, action blocks. Seriously bring back the old app.
Old app better
The old app was much better the new app has no
Games.
So boring

I Like Trains
Next Update, Can You Add A Track Builder?
New app not as good
The previous app was much more fun, engaging and interactive. Made it feel like you were actually driving the train. The new app doesn’t give the same feeling just a bunch of pointless videos.
Amazing
We really love the duplo train. We didn’t actually know that the app would allow us to control the train’s motion, sounds, and lights and that we would be able to record ourselves using the sound bricks. We just thought that the train looked cool in the store. The app is just awesome. We highly recommend this train for 2 to 3-year-olds. They will think it’s incredible.

What a disappointment!
This new app is a HUGE let down. We have the original trains from when my oldest was little and his twin brothers love them and the older interactive app. This new app lacks creativity and interaction. How does this new app inspire creativity when all you can do is watch a few videos of someone else building a track? You can do better Lego.

New app is terrible
This new app is absolutely terrible. I would caution anyone who doesn’t already own these trains, DO NOT BUY THEM!!!!!!!! The new app basically requires your child to stare at an iPad (increase screen time) just to have the controls of a simple handheld remote. At that rate, just buy them a regular remote control train!
The old app was great - there were more controls (varying speed), there was a cute storyline while running the train and you could also see out the windshield like they actually were the train engineer. I believe there was also a part with different train track maps. This app seriously is useless… a few videos that nobody needs to watch more than once and a remote control with not much interaction that could be just a regular remote control at this point. My son is so disappointed. He spent so long putting his track together yesterday afternoon and was so excited to play with it this morning and then we had to update the app and ended up with this crummy app. The developers really ruined this app and my son’s experience with his Lego duplo trains….

New app is a disaster
As EVERYONE ELSE noted, the older version was much more fun! Bring it back LEGO!
This is not funny
When I was a child I used to like to play the old version of this app when they took it down I was really sad. It came out with this new version that I thought it was really good until I downloaded it. Thinking all those reviews I have read or just Karens i’m downloading the app. They’re not lying. It’s literally just an app with a bunch of videos and you can even play all the videos as well. We have to unlock. Just watch a video that you will probably never watch. this is just for the Bluetooth Duplo trains that you might have lying around. That’s what I thought and tell it’s not even just a controller. It’s not just a boring controller. It’s literally just a video I would if I wanted to use this app, I would just go on YouTube and watch the videos if there is any instead of paying just like two dollars to watch some videos bring back the old app or you can just add a controller into it. I don’t have a Duplo train but still can you do something more exciting like entire train app in Lego Duplo world or like something else like that just please do something.

Upgraded/new app is terrible
My daughter was so upset when they took away the old app. The new one just has stupid videos of children building the train sets. It is no longer the interactive train journey it used to be where they could control the train and collect items/do activities.
Why would you change it to this useless thing??

Bring back old app
Old app was amazing-5 stars. New one is the most basic on/off switch an intern would program. Kids loved the old one.
Amazing!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you Lego! My little conductor LOVES it!
No option to control music
There needs to be an option to control the music.
Easy?
It was hard to connect Bluetooth to the train
Pathetic backwards compatibility
For a company that is allegedly trying to be more sustainable, it isn’t great when they are essentially drop support for the old red/organge train. Yes there is the option in new app but they’ve basically reduced the experience to 5 plain buttons and no variable speed control.
Old App much nicer
Please bring back the old App! My son likes the old app better because it’s more fun, has more options & actually looks like you’re driving the train. Please consider bring back the old app.
What happened
I re visited the game for nostalgia and I’ve noticed nothing is the same. I almost thought I downloaded the wrong app.. this is kinda sad omgggg
Cannot connect bluetooth
Bought it for my daughter’s birthday and i have been struggling to connect it to the app/ absolutely horrible - doesn’t connect and i have tried various phones, reinstalled the app, removed the batteries… disappointing from Lego
Doesn’t work
The new app doesn’t work with the old trains. It drives them too fast so that it skips the action bricks. It wasn’t an issue when the old app was still in the app store.
New version of app is terrible!
I agree with other comments- the new train app version is a huge downgrade- it went from a fun and interactive experience with fun graphics, train driver views, and lap counter to an interface with a blank background and only some square buttons. Please make the prior version available for install or advise how I can revert.
