Cannot export programs

If you’re familiar with the old NXT era programs, this isn’t too hard to figure out. As software, it’s a little less janky, but also a bit less functional. I wish you could name variables, copy/paste blocks, etc.

The biggest downside is that there is no way to send or receive programs. I made a complicated controller in the app, and it only exists on my phone. I can’t send it to an iPad, I can’t send it to my friend to try, it’s just stuck there.

Please add import/export functionality, or just sharing functionality

There are no instructions on how to use the app

good but

WHY IS THE APP SIZE AN ENTIRE GIGABYTE?!

Amazing!

I like it, and use it a lot!

Decent

Lego could do a lot more with this app. They definitely need to add more sound effects.

App Update Needed – Bluetooth Connection Drops

We set up the Disney train under our Christmas tree and connected it to the app. After about five seconds of running, the train consistently loses its Bluetooth connection. We’ve tried multiple devices across iOS 15, 18, and 16, and all have the same issue. My girls were so excited to have this train under the Christmas tree, and now it doesn’t work at all. They’re extremely disappointed.

Disney train

I am so disappointed. I just got out our Disney train to enjoy it over the holidays with my grandsons and now I can’t make the app work with this train anymore. The train is only several years old. I have an iPhone 15 and it seems like it is not compatible with the app anymore. Can there be an update to this app so we can use it again? is there any way to run the train without the app?

Not working with the train motors anymore

We pulled out the winter village trolley again this year. We reattached the Powered Up hub (#88009), lights (#88005), and train motor (#88011) and were super disappointed to discover that the train motor appears to not be controllable through the app anymore. We can drive the train with the Powered Up remote (#88010) which confirms the problem is with the app, not the hub or motor. The app controls the lights correctly, just not the motor. Confirmed the same behavior on an iPhone 14 and an iPhone 17 Pro. Please fix this!

Lego Holiday Express Train

This app needs an update for the Holiday Express Train. A bonus would be sound effects to go along with it. It really needs a Santa sounding voice yelling “All aboard!”, “Ho. Ho. Ho. Merry Christmas!” And some additional train sounds like a deep train whistle, the chug-a-chug-chug sound. This would take this set/app to the next level. A final event would be a randomizer and a timer. People could hide the phone near the train and every 2-5 min, a random sound would belt out of the phone. That wouldn’t be a bad idea for all the trains to have an audio component with a timer and a randomizer.

Limited Use for Trains

Takes ages to pair and you can only run one train per iPhone so you might as well use the remote. You do get sounds (coming from your phone) tho.

Love it

I download the app for my grand piano and it’s great. There is a crack noise every time I play it or listen.

Bad .needs more updates

I hate where the trash button is because i can’t put my thing at the bottom because it keeps deleting the thing that i want to put at the bottom

Nooooooo Massive downgrade😪😪😪

Being forced to use this app over the Lego boost Star Wars app. Much much much worse experience! The Star Wars app had the missions and the whole Star Wars vibe which this app doesn’t have. Please don’t retire the other app! This is way way worse!

Terrible

I got the Lego passenger train for Christmas and got the app it worked for about two seconds and then it wouldn’t let me connect to the controller 😥😥

Above bare minimum

It has pemade controls, coding, and is certainly worse than a computer app, but is still better than expected. Unless youve spent over 250 on lego, this apps for you

One of the code blocks are not working properly!

I was coding a rc car till I noticed something about the steering it doesn’t work properly. SO I deleted the block and replaced it The problem is almost fix is it just the fact that the code block is not working properly…I think.
