## Review summary

User reviews are mixed. Many praise the minifig scanner and ease of use, but a large share criticize the app for paywalls and aggressive subscriptions, unreliable scanning, and intrusive ads. Billing issues (auto-renewals and refunds) and weak collection-management features (incomplete catalog, missing photos/sets, no export) are repeatedly cited. Overall, the app shows potential for LEGO fans, but recurring subscription, reliability, and data issues overshadow the positives.

### Pros

- Minifig scanner works well when it functions
- Easy to use
- Positive overall sentiment (love/recommend)
- Helpful for viewing and wishlist/collection planning

### Cons

- Paywall/subscription required for core features; many reviews complain about being forced to pay
- Scanner reliability issues (not working, misreads, overcounting)
- Intrusive ads and self-promotion popups / prompts
- Automatic renewal and charges after unsubscribe; difficulty cancelling
- Incomplete catalog data and weak collection-management features (missing photos/sets, no export, limited duplicates)
