Ratings and reviews

Had an overall good experience, but the app stoped working, it can't download some file, reinstalling doesn't help, the dance with all cache clearing and restarting doesn't work either. The phone is definitely compatible since it worked before, and plenty of free storage. Also I experienced sync issues between the phone and the iPad, progress was synced, but discovered elements didn't appear in the free programming mode and there was no way to get them even going through all the levels again

The Lego Boost system was excellent for my 8-year old to construct the model from directions (He choose Vernie) and then, after an easy app install, he and my older son enjoyed much more than one afternoon exploring how it worked, using the coding via IPad app, and even making a short movie involving Vernie. I highly recommend it - it's fun for all children. As an educational tool it has some merit, but as I've seen with my own children, it is easy to just focus on the "bells and whistles" of what it can do versus delving deeper into the coding. In that area I would appreciate more guidance (lesson plans, online challenges, etc.).

Edit: it's been 3 months already and not a single update to fix the freezing issue. This is utterly frustrating. After many trials and erros, I was able to connect to the Move Hub after holding the button for 10 seconds for firmware update. This is not explained anywhere. But the app keeps freezing every time I exit a card. Because some builds have many cards, it gets really frustrating having to use this app. Also, it is impossible to open a canvas, the apps simply freezes completely.
