Four out of five times, the app hangs or crashes. If you’re lucky that everything works, getting through the insane amount of choices or load screens, including the redundant warnings, takes 7–10 minutes, at which time kids have invariably moved on to doing something else. Talk about knowing your audience! When you get to finding a location, more often than not the app won’t be able to place the bandmate. If this happens, there’s no back button or a way to reload. Seven minutes in, you’ll just have to quit, reopen and go through the whole process again. Mind you, it doesn’t even save the kid’s age at the very beginning, so I do mean the whole process. If all stars align, you happen to be of the correct zodiac sign and it’s your lucky day, you finally get to shoot a video an hour into this frustrating process, and you’re gloriously treated to... nothing. It turns out to be a regular video of the kids dancing. You click buttons, but the bandmate never shows up. No effects whatsoever. I’m two bandmates into this hole, zero videos accomplished, and I guess I’ll have to upgrade to an iPhone from three years in the future before I have enough processing power to make any of this work.

I’ll put this out there first: I love the minifigures and I love the idea behind this app, but goodness is it frustrating. Running the app burns through your battery life in a matter of moments. If you’re lucky, you’ll get past the loading screen to scan your figure and the tiles. If you’re even luckier, you’ll actually be able to record a video—I haven’t been able to in days. The app crashes and closes before we ever get to record anything, and my son’s disappointment has resulted in him not even bothering with it anymore. At 20 bucks per DJ set and 5 bucks per blind box, the app’s performance is pretty awful. Hopefully LEGO gets it together.

We are terribly disappointed with this app/ lego series. We downloaded the app on two separate devices, an ipad and iPhone. We have the same issue on both devices: when my son tries to make a video the app wont load and he gets a “please wait” message forever. We have yet to have it load so he can use the app and new VIDIYO sets we purchased. My son is distraught that he spent his birthday money on VIDIYO lego sets he can’t use. PS - we have confirmed our devices are compatible at the link provided in other reviews. It’s not a compatibility issue and based on other reviews, looks like the app has issues. Very disappointing. I hope Lego resolves this ASAP.
