LEGO® POWERED UP

I can control my Lego robotics experiments easily!

Can you please add more music to the playlist like Vivaldi and other songs from other artists that played piano. It’s really relaxing to listen to the piano play the music and relax.

There’s no explanation on how to use any of the blocks (at least that I could find) for custom builds. All the tutorials on YouTube don’t work because of the new UI update. I would love for there to be an in-app tutorial on how to use the blocks. I couldn’t even get a motor to just spin around! Please tell me if there is some tutorial that is actually accurate. Ps. I don’t know how well the app is for sets that include motors, so I gave it an extra star.

The timer blocks don’t work at ALL! For example, if you set the timer to 10 seconds, the first time you run it through, it might be 5 seconds, and the next time, it could be 15! Also, most motor code blocks don’t work with the train motor, and some don’t work with ANY motor. I thought both of the problems were just bugs, but it’s been almost a year now and it’s still not fixed. Edit: it has been fixed! Thank you! Edit 2: here’s a suggestion, you should be able to record your own sounds, so if the color sensor senses red, it could play a recording of you saying “Red!” Or something like that.

Hi, It works but can’t exit the app, can’t run it in the background to keep playing. Lame.

Loses blue tooth connection randomly and frequently. Using with Lego City Passenger Express. As long as it’s connected, it’s a delight. Sound effects, speed control, lights all great. The random loss of blue tooth is quite frustrating. 3 stars because of it. If this didn’t happen I’m sure it would be 5.

I’m making a Lego rc car and I am coding the motors and have no clue how to get the steering to work if you can change it or add a tab thing for the steering or tell me how to add steering that would be great.

I just updated the app for the first time in a while and it completely screwed my previously made code and now old projects don’t work any more, and after the code update it is impossible to do anything on it unless your using a preset controller, some instructions are needed + more details in code area.

Does not support variables, named functions, etc. Also, does not allow the state of a UI control (such as a slider) to be controlled via code. These a huge misses and really limits what you can do with the app.

I’m only speaking for the haunted house as of now. After completing the house I added the powered up feature and fought with it for hours trying to get it to work properly. I went on line and many others had the same issues, most just gave up. After fiddling with the app I found there is a specific way to operate it. The chain wasn’t ‘resetting’ so the car wouldn’t go up completely most time or even fall at all. This is when I found the red square button right top to reset things. Now my ride works absolutely flawlessly like it should. Seems a couple paragraphs of detailed instructions need to be added instead of all the frustrations of not providing any at all. This of course may not be the case with other sets, but the haunted house needs instruction on the app. It works so well now I still must give it 5 stars though. Side note on the house itself. I applied a very small amount of garage door lubricant with a Q-tip to the gears and it made it work smoothly and efficiently every time. Use only this type and not a product like WD-40 which will attract dust and gum things up.
