### 4/5 — Batmobile Tumbler

*2026-07-27, version 1.9.7*

The Batmobile Tumbler is not listed as an available car. Any idea when it should be updated? Other than that issue the app does well with the other LEGO sets.

### 2/5 — No tumbler

*2026-07-22, version 1.9.7*

Just got the Batmobile tumbler downloaded the app went to go test it as I was building not even showing up on the app I can see from the Lamborghini reveulto down but no Batmobile

### 3/5 — It’s not the app it’s the car

*2026-05-03, version 1.9.7*

The cars are too slow and I wanted it so bad but I thought I couldn’t find a piece but it was in another bag

### 5/5 — AR

*2026-04-09, version 1.9.6*

It doesn’t show the AR option in the app for the Mercedes Benz Zetros Trial Truck. I have tried reinstalling the app but it doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-04-05, version 1.9.6*

You should be able to edit the code and and create your own technic sets but it is a great game

### 3/5 — This is very good

*2026-02-22*

This app is really good though I have a complaint it doesn’t allow personal interference for controls and data which is immature for ages 4+

### 5/5 — very good

*2026-02-06, version 1.9.6*

it’s easy to use. I love how it works. It’s so fun. It’s like normal Lego you build it, but you can actually drive it. You can tune it. it’s just so fun. I recommend getting one it’s worth expensive price.

### 4/5 — Great app, but needs to be adjusted

*2026-01-04, version 1.9.6*

I got the Lamborghini revuelto for Christmas and the car runs great. It’s just whenever I did the races, I made the track, but when I just drive forward, it says that I completed it, even though I didn’t drive around the whole track. Please fix this developers! :)

### 4/5 — Great except

*2025-12-31, version 1.9.6*

### 1/5 — Won’t Work

*2026-06-11, version 1.9.7*

I built the Lego 4x4 truck and now it’s telling me in the technic control app that I need to connect Bluetooth, but there was no prompt asking to connect Bluetooth and the app is therefore broken. I tried all of the troubleshooting links listed below in the reviews but none of them helped.

### 1/5 — Liebherr excavator first hub connection

*2026-05-04, version 1.9.7*

It won’t work and will get stuck on the page of connect upper hub

### 1/5 — Battery problem

*2025-12-10*

I just got the Porsche GT4. I loved the car and the Control+ app features. But a few days ago the cars battery started decreasing unnaturally fast. It would go from 50% to 20% in barely 20 seconds of driving. Then when I try to charge it again it shows that it’s still at 50% . Is this a glitch or a problem in my lego set?

**Developer response:** This isn't right! Please reach out at LEGO.build/Service-Apple and our mechanics will work their magic! 🏎️ - Marine, LEGO® Customer Service

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-07-14, version 1.9.3*

The app requires bluetooth access, but does not request it. And there is no way to grant it access without the request in the current IOS.
I don’t know how others are using it but it’s unusable on my device.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth access required

*2025-05-25, version 1.9.3*

If an app use Bluetooth it have to ask user to provide access to Bluetooth, otherwise it can not be connected to car. So app is unless it’s can not use Bluetooth.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-04-27, version 1.9.3*

Game is bad not helpful

### 1/5 — Cannot get app to load

*2025-04-02, version 1.9.3*

Looking at connecting Lego 42176 to the control app via my iPhone 6 Plus. This has an iOS of 12.4.2 and the App Store says this phone is compatible. The app says it requires 12.0 or later. 
The app appears on my phone and when it opens, I click on 42176. It looks like it’s loading and when it gets close to the end the app quits. 
This is for a birthday present for our 8 year old so giving him an older phone to use for this. 

Any help you can offer would be appreciated please.

### 1/5 — Can’t use it

*2025-03-15, version 1.9.3*

I was looking forward to using perseverance but I don’t see it

### 1/5 — Keeps asking for firmware update

*2024-12-14, version 1.9.3*

Good when it works,but every minute it asks for a firmware update which takes about 3to5 minutes.
Child very unhappy!

### 1/5 — Wheres my car

*2024-09-25, version 1.9.3*

I have a Lego technic car but it isn't on this app, its the green Lamborghini, if its a fake car (which it probably isn't) then i dont know.

### 5/5 — Wirklich gut

*2026-08-11*

Ich habe mir den Lamborghini revoulto gekauft und hat voll viele Funktionen am besten ist es das man auch wenn es der gleiche Motor ist kann man auch andere länkräder probieren

### 5/5 — Cat

*2026-08-08, version 1.10.1*

Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow

### 5/5 — Good app! But no Lego tumbler option added

*2026-07-26, version 1.9.7*

I got the Lego tumbler for my birthday and after I was done building it there was no option for it to drive so I had to drive it on the Porsche option which sucked because it stopped working please update the app soon thank you goodbye

### 5/5 — Fun make

*2026-07-16, version 1.9.7*

I used a engine thing to make a ship propeller and minigun spin on the boat PEAK

### 5/5 — Warum keine Fernbedienung

*2026-07-10*

Grundsätzlich funktioniert die App sehr gut, es gab bei mir keine Schwierigkeiten mit der Verbindung oder ähnlichem. Mit der App lassen sich die Fahrzeuge einfach steuern und man erhält zusätzlich verschiedene Infos über das Fahrzeug mit dem man fährt. Eine normale Fernbedienung zusätzlich zu der App wäre trotzdem sehr schön, da ich es gewohnt bin meine RC Autos mit Fernbedienung zu steuern, wodurch ich auch mehr das Gefühl habe ein richtiges RC Auto zu fahren. Ich würde mir wünschen dass man sich optional eine Fernbedienung dazu kaufen kann. Aber die App ist wie schon gesagt trotzdem gut gemacht.

### 5/5 — Car review

*2026-06-18, version 1.9.7*

I got the Audi e-tron and it is the best. The only thing is that it NEEDS torque transfer so please add a car with that feature.
