### 1/5 — Download and pay

*2025-09-20, version 1.0*

Don’t pay before test this. Negative opinions.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-07-29*

Please don’t spend any money on this.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-04-10*

Do not waste your money.  Doesn’t recognize any piece. Even the most basic.

### 1/5 — Strata pieniędzy.

*2025-04-06, version 1.0*

Nie rozpoznaje klocków, tylko udaje, że próbuje.

### 1/5 — Do not waste your time and money on this!!!

*2025-01-21*

I was trying to figure out what my piece was so I could search for it in a designing app, so I found this, and, even though it looks reasonable for $0.99, it was horrible. I put the camera near my piece to scan it, and it identified it as a “cheese slope,” but it was nowhere near that! I deleted the app, and to this day I still wonder what my piece was.

### 1/5 — WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY?!?!

*2024-12-26*

So recently I got a Lego Mario set and couldn’t find a specific piece. So, I got this app to try to find it. And I am GREATLY DISAPPOINTED. Don’t get this app, the main feature of it is blocked behind a paywall.

### 1/5 — I’m definitely deleting this

*2024-11-21*

I’m never getting this again >:(
I’m just relying on the Review’s and never
EVER getting it.

### 1/5 — Can you make your app work

*2024-04-02*

I waited 10 minutes for it to download and as soon as I enter I paid 1 dollar and for what a charity fund and then I see the most basic Lego bricks not even close to what is in front of me fix your app

### 1/5 — Fraude

*2024-03-02*

Este app não funciona. Mostrei um monte de peças técnicas escuras em fundo branco e bem iluminado com espaços entre elas. Não acertou uma única peça. Ele te cobra antes de poder testar. Fraude. Não pague. Denuncie.

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2024-01-29*

This does not work for what it does. Only 99p but it’s not worth it as it simply does not do what it says or what you want it to do.
