System Requirements and Limitations
- The App runs on all iOS devices, including iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. iOS version 4 is required.
- The minimum version for Android is 2.1
- The application uses your internet connection to download the images the first time you look at them. We recommend using a WiFi connection to avoid possible charges from your network provider. Once loaded the images are cached on your device and no further internet connection is required.
- A Brickset.com account is necessary to import and export data to it. Please notice that neither Brickset.com nor our App is able to resolve version conflicts. If you edit the same figure on both the App and the website, then one of them will be lost. It is also possible that Brickset.com has Minifigures that are not yet in our App and vice versa.

[...] of the AFOL community rather than just cashing in on a book. They’re actually working on the aforementioned iPhone and iPad app that’ll give access to a digital database that I assume will be constantly updated. Ahhh [...]
How about some android love?
Yes, Android is a great platform and we will have a closer look at it. We are more familiar with the iOS platform and hence we will start with it.
How about some Windows Phone 7 Love…
Great book, great app too!
A Dutch developer of apps was forced to take down an app that contained all (?) building instructions of Lego sets.
See here: http://www.speak.nl/speak-ontwikkelt-internationale-iphone-lego-applicatie
Nevertheless: keep building that app! ;-)
The building instructions are copyrighted material and hence LEGO took action. I took all the photos myself, so I hope that this will not be a problem. I hope…
Have installed and am now using to catalogue my son’s (yes -and mine) minifigs. Mostly for identifying which bit from the bottom of the bucket make up which minifig.
While overall easy to use, I have found a couple of things.
1) and this is just a case of interpretation of meaning I think – when viewing a set, the number of minifigs seems to mean number of different minifigs in set and not the total number – eg in the Imperial Hoth Battle Pack there are two of sw115 (Snowtrooper) giving 4 minifigs in total.
2) possibly an error in the cataloging, Advent Calendar 2010 – Pirates. The set description says no minifigs when there are about 8. And the set itself does not come up using the search function using either “Calendar” or “Advent”.
Perhaps a short introduction to the app would sort out the misunderstanding with point 1, and point 2 is just an oversight.

G Leggett,
Thanks for trying the app!
1) Correct, we list the number of unique figures, not the total number of figures. Unfortunately, the only data we have is from Brickset.com, which contains the number of unique figures and not totals.
2) Thanks for reporting this! We will look into the data error.
Your suggestion for a short introduction in the app is great. We hope to add one shortly.
Thanks!
Bought the app. Great idea you have! Thinking about getting the book too.
One question though. When I import from Brickset it says something to the effect of “107 unique minifigs were found, 75 of which are in this app.”
Any idea why it doesn’t download all the minifig info? I thought the app/book has almost all minifigs?
Dear Shawn
The book and the app list Minifigures until 2010. We are. Ow working on the data of 2011. Hence the mismatch between BS and the app. Buy there will always be some slight differences since we maintain our own and hopefully most correct database.
Hi, Does HTC Desire HD at android 2.3.5 can support or install this app ?
Hi Dean,
Yes, the HTC Desire HD is a supported device.
Is there a place where I can download all the images for the app. I only use WiFi on my iPad2 and I would have to go through every screen to get all the images to download so I could see them off-line. Of course I don’t mind going through the screens, but it would take wayyy too long to try and do it all at once.
Thanks
Dear Michael,
This is a features that we were considering, but were not yet able to implement. All the images also add up to several GB of data, so I am not sure if this would be possible solution for many users.
Maybe you could release it in chunks by Year or Sets then? That way people can get only what they are after.
So what happens if someone doesn’t have any more room on their device? DO the new images show up or do they say something about not having room to download them?
Thanks for the reply
If you do not have enough room on your storage card (Android) or internal storage (iOS), the new images will be downloaded and shown for each screen but may disappear if you navigate away from that screen.
