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 ### 2/5 — Tarda mucho *2026-05-04, version 4.3.0* Tarda mucho en descargar no la e podido probar cuando pueda les aviso ### 4/5 — Bonne Application *2026-04-05* L’application est bonne dans l’ensemble mais je n’arrive pas à connecter le hub de la lamborginie revoluto sur l’application a par ça bonne app pour coder soi même et apprendre petit à petit. **Developer response:** Nos mécanos sont là pour vous aider ! 🔧 Vous trouverez des informations super utiles via LEGO.build/PoweredUpHelp-Apple, sinon nos experts peuvent aussi vous aider via LEGO.build/Service. - Marine, Service Client LEGO® ### 4/5 — Yorum *2026-03-18, version 4.3.0* Yani iyi sayılır ### 2/5 — Garbage *2026-02-20, version 4.2.0* Omg please u have to FIX THIS DAMM Bluetooth IT KEEPS SAYING ERROR ### 2/5 — Pop *2026-02-16, version 4.2.0* I’m just going home and I don’t have any time right away I don’t want anything for lunch and dinner so if you’re hungry and I want you I don’t have any more time for you and I’m sorry if you’re busy and I’m just going through a bit later on tonight I’m sorry I’m sorry but if I have time tomorrow pop up pop pop pop ### 2/5 — Wenn man nur den Hub des Zuges verbinden könnte *2026-01-25, version 4.2.0* Entweder blinkt der nur oder irgendwann gibt es doch eine Bluetooth Verbindung. Aber man kann nix steuern. Egal welches iPhone oder iPad aus dem Haushalt ich verwende. Wir haben seit über einem Jahr nicht hinbekommen. ### 3/5 — R *2026-01-21, version 4.2.0* There are no instructions on how to use the app ### 4/5 — good but *2026-01-14, version 4.2.0* WHY IS THE APP SIZE AN ENTIRE GIGABYTE?! ### 3/5 — Decent *2025-12-16, version 4.2.0* Lego could do a lot more with this app. They definitely need to add more sound effects. ### 3/5 — Lego Holiday Express Train *2025-11-28, version 4.2.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Limited Use for Trains *2025-11-05, version 4.2.0* 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. ### 4/5 — Love it *2025-10-26, version 4.2.0* I download the app for my grand piano and it’s great. There is a crack noise every time I play it or listen. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-04, version 4.4.2* Couldn’t figure it out with my five year old ### 1/5 — 1.63GB App Size *2026-04-13, version 4.3.0* It is ridiculously big ### 1/5 — Aki vezeti a PoweredUp appot *2026-04-01, version 4.3.0* Miért nem megy amikor mi készít készítjük el a irányító rendszert? ### 1/5 — Lego 60337 *2026-03-14, version 4.3.0* The app for the 60337 LEGO City Express train shows connected via Bluetooth, but it definitely doesn’t work at all. We tried iOS and Android—everything. ### 1/5 — 为什么还是bug *2026-01-25* 上下一直切换还很卡，一直上下卡，我希望修改一下谢谢 ### 1/5 — App Update Needed – Bluetooth Connection Drops *2025-12-15, version 4.2.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Disney train *2025-12-13, version 4.2.0* 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? ### 1/5 — Not working with the train motors anymore *2025-12-05, version 4.2.0* 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! ### 1/5 — Stupid UX testers and the geniuses in management that approved it *2025-11-05, version 4.2.0* Everything works until you want to close the app on your iPhone and realised you are unable to swipe up to exit because the product selection scroll is placed so closely with the exit gestures. The only work around is to lock and unlock your phone you force that gesture to pop out. ### 1/5 — 1.3 гб *2025-10-25, version 4.2.0* 1.3 гб жесть… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — PLEASE DO THIS! *2026-08-19, version 4.4.2* I Have The Vintage Steam Train Set (60511), But There’s No Themed Controllers For The New Steam Train And Harbor Train! So Can You Add New Controllers? ### 5/5 — Genial *2026-07-11, version 4.4.2* Funciona muy bien, me gusta que haya opciones para elegir a que quieres controlar. Además, si tienes otro set Lego compatible, puedes ponerle las piezas mecánicas (o algo así) y hacerlo funcionar. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-06-16, version 4.4.2* I love this app it’s the best but can you fix the sound system ### 5/5 — 60337有问题 *2026-04-12* 非常好玩，就是呢，我那个60337的那个屏幕玻璃没了，就直接变成那个绿色的板子了，但是我觉得总体来说是很好玩的，非常的好玩， ### 5/5 — すごいね *2026-01-07, version 4.2.0* 他のやつでも動かせた！使ってみよう ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-12-26, version 4.2.0* I like it, and use it a lot! ### 5/5 — Wow!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩 *2025-06-17, version 4.2.0* Ahora ya no tengo que usar mi control para usar el tren Verde esto es increíble 😊 gracias por aser esta app lego ### 5/5 — Deberían mas trenes funcionar *2025-06-04, version 4.2.0* El tren de lego Coty 60197 y 60108 no hacen ruido al acelerar ### 5/5 — LEGO GRAND PIANO *2025-04-25, version 4.0.3* This is a work of art! just finished building. loving the sound from iphone makes the piano seem so real. *The Play and Listen options are shown different in the book to this app!* Suggestion: also would love an 8 key option for playing small tunes ### 5/5 — Deux problèmes, un conseil et cinq étoiles *2025-04-17* Alors j’écris pour vous dire que c’est une super application pour programmer des lego à moteur construit soi même même si quelques problème persiste: -1) Il est impossible de mettre des virgules dans des durées quand on veut en sélectionner une cela nous demande de mettre un temps mais quand on veut mettre une virgule elle ne s’affiche pas pouvez vous corriger cela ? -2) Le nouveau Hub contenu dans la voiture « Porche gt4 e-performance » (désolé je n’ai pas son numéro) est impossible à la connexion je ne peux donc pas créé mon propre lego avec et le programmer je suis déçu et j’espère que vous corrigerais sa dès que possible. —— Petit conseil d’amélioration : Vous pouvez mettre des tuto vidéo et écrit pour apprendre à programmer pour ceux qui ne savent pas. Dans l’interface jouer/créer en haut à droit vous pourrait rajouter l'interface « tutoriel » (ou autre par peut importe) —— Voilà c’était mon avis j’espère que vous corrigerais ces petits bug merci et encore une fois super application, bravo !! **Developer response:** Merci de nous avoir partagé toutes ces informations et conseils ! L'erreur pour la virgule a été remontée et nos développeurs travaillent sur une solution. En attendant, nous vous conseillons de changer la langue de votre téléphone et appli en anglais, ce qui résout ce souci de manière temporaire. Le set 42176 est uniquement compatible avec l'application CONTROL+ pour le moment.
