LEGO® VIDIYO™ Reviews

by Dekode

Loads of “please wait” and other loading screens even after downloading over 300MB of “required” files. Was able to get it working for a day - even made two pretty good videos! On that success we spent $20 for a new scannable band member. After scanning it in we now only get “please wait” screens when trying to start a performance. We’ve gone through deleting and the lengthy reinstall process but now I cannot even log into my account. LEGO feels really unfinished and my kids are super disappointed. Surprising after using some of this app’s other apps like Hidden Side and Builder’s Journey.

Brought this for my daughter. Who was really excited to have this. Twice she tried to record a video. After that part was done everything on the screen disappeared. All she was left with was her band mate just standing there. We pressed all over the screen, and restarted LEGO . Same thing happen plus we’re having to start the process all over again. She is basically still trying to make the first video. I may try a third time to see if a different outcome happens. But it’s VERY unlikely that I’ll give it a fourth try if it still isn’t working.

We are terribly disappointed with LEGO/ this app series. We downloaded LEGO on two separate devices, an ipad and iPhone. We have the same issue on both devices: when my son tries to make a video LEGO wont load and he gets a “please wait” message forever. We have yet to have it load so he can use LEGO and new VIDIYO sets we purchased. My son is distraught that he spent his birthday money on VIDIYO this app 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 LEGO has issues. Very disappointing. I hope this app resolves this ASAP.

I’ll put this out there first: I love the minifigures and I love the idea behind LEGO, but goodness is it frustrating.
Running LEGO 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. LEGO 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, LEGO ’s performance is pretty awful.
Hopefully this app gets it together.

Four out of five times, LEGO 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 LEGO 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.

When I first heard LEGO was coming out I was so happy! The day it came out I woke up early and downloaded it. Everything worked fine but when the first dance finished(the one where you make your first band and your not officially on LEGO yet, sort of like an intro) my screen froze and I could only see the frozen picture of how the last second of my dance looked. I repeated this multiple times after I updated my iPhone 6s+

Finally it worked. I signed into my this app account and it was working. I could see other people videos and everything like how it was supposed to be. After being on LEGO for ten minutes or so I left LEGO to play outside. When I can back in I started LEGO and it was back to the welcome screen. I tried getting back in but then it kept kicking my out of LEGO and taking me to my home screen. Now LEGO just sits on my Home Screen but I did not delete it because I am giving this app a chance to fix it as it is a brand new app.

I will be happy to change my review if this is fixed, Thank you!

I think that the overall concept is interesting. Unfortunately LEGO just isn’t ready yet. I have a compatible iPad that meets all of the requirements and plenty of free space. LEGO takes forever to load and ends up freezing and/or crashing. I even tried deleting and reinstalling LEGO .

It’s really sad that a company with such an amazing reputation for QC would allow something like this to happen. I really hope that this is an anomaly and not a new trend for this app. Maybe TLG should just stick to what works and stop messing with apps.

I only bought the VIDIYO beat box & a bandmate cause I thought they were neat figures. Out of curiosity I decided to try out LEGO that accustomed these figures and I must agree with these other reviews. The application crashes and loading goes on forever without end. I tried to do a video, er sorry, a VIDIYO accompanied by music and I chose my band and clicked the little play button. The loading started and just kept going. I eventually left LEGO and tried again and yielded the same results. I want to genuinely experience LEGO but as of right now, that’s not going to happen until bugs are fixed and patched. I think it’s kind of funny as well that this app created a whole new line specifically for an app that doesn’t work as of right now. They had time to test LEGO out before launching this entirely new experience with this app but unless they fix it, people aren’t going to want to continue. However, with all that being said, overall I think VIDIYO has a lot of potential. It’s a great premise and I think kids could have a whole lot of fun with it. Will it be as influential as TikTok? No, but this is a perfect substitute for parents of kids who would like to participate in similar social media. It could also get kids to be more creative with their backgrounds that the band plays in front of and with what dances they perform with the band.

Basically, TL;DR great premise and experience with lots of potential, just needs some fixing up.

LEGO is enjoyable and fun to scan the band mates and then add the effects, but LEGO only has a few songs and they are only parts of the song. After a while you use all the songs and then LEGO gets boring. I recommend LEGO but it can get boring. Also LEGO needs a customer service option. I had almost every band ate and I had to rescan every single one because LEGO deleted all my progress if the developers even look at this review please look into this issue

by LaurMathy

We were very excited about LEGO and love the idea but it needs to be improved. App crashes frequently (and yes our device is compatible)- as in every time we use LEGO at some point it freezes or crashes- so frustrating. My kids love the idea of LEGO and unique this app set but are so upset about LEGO and how much it crashes and how the this app set frequently won’t scan right App is not user friendly and frequently says “please wait” for a long time and has errors. Please please improve LEGO!

This game gets me up at 1:00 AM to play! It’s so fun! But one thing I don’t really like is that it crashes. I was playing the game and it just kept automatically logging off until I went outside to play soccer. The next day, it finally worked!! But I was wrong… IT LOGGED ME OUT!, AGAIN!!!! So 2 days later I played and it worked! (For real this time) So I hope they can fix these crashes so it doesn’t affect other people.

I like LEGO . It’s cute and fun when it works. It has been slow pretty consistently, but I can’t get it to work at all now. I can open LEGO , select a song and band, but when I tap to scan my guy and start recording, it just hangs on the “Please wait” page. After 10 minutes, I gave up. I’ve checked everything suggested: closing background apps, confirmed my device is compatible, restarting, checking my account. Nothing is helping. Please update.

I absolutely love LEGO I have quite a few characters and love making videos. I would definitely recommend this to other people. The only things that I don’t like is that you have to buy the characters for LEGO and these characters are kinda expensive. If they were a little bit cheaper I would definitely put 5 stars. Also, I don’t like that the bandmates are a mystery, and you don’t know what you’re gonna get. Because of this I ended up with 2 werewolves.

To whom it may concern,
So today I was trying out LEGO with my beatbox for the first time. But when I used it, it just kicked me out of the game. I then tried deleting some of my apps to see if that would work cause I had a bunch of stuff. But even when I did that it still did not work. Hopefully the creators can fix this glitch because I was really excited to use this when my grandma sent it to me. Please fix this I really want to make music videos with my sister using our beatboxes.

-Sincerely,
Extreme this app Lover.

It’s a great concept and my kids just love it! However, LEGO is a little confusing to navigate. Additionally, it would be nice to be able to save the videos to my phone or send in text message. Maybe have it password protected so the kids can’t do it without permission? But I would like to be able to share their creations with the family member that got them the gift.

****
To the developers. Your response didn’t address my comment. I do not want to share the videos to social media. I want to be able to save it to my phone like a normal video to send through text message or email.

So, you see, the sets are over priced for what you get and it has WAY TO MUCH ties with “this app life”. Nice concept tho. But I think you should not have to have a this app® Life account to use this, because not everyone might not have a this app® Life account and it’s extremely hard to login. Also, make it so the kids can somewhat customize their name of their band because some of the randomly generated ones sounded kind of sexual 😬.
Because then you half to login then you have to verify by logging in and then it takes you back to the beginning and it’s an infinite loop!?!? >:[. Just, change that please
-from, an unhealthily obsessed this app fan. (PS, PLEASE STOP WITH THE IDEA THAT THE “LLAMA BEAT BOX” WILL BE THE BEST!?!?!?) thanks (also sup morgen.)

Love the idea of this set, and I even like making the cute videos to post. I can see this being a fun collectible for the little band mates and dance moves. Unfortunately no matter how hard I try, I cannot log into LEGO and connect my account (on an iPhone 11). It log me in, lets me choose my account, then gives me a “failed to log in” message in LEGO . Not really sure what to do now, since not being able to log in defeats the purpose of being able to post or share the videos. I’ll keep checking back for login updates, however, as once that is fixed I’ll be completely pleased with my purchase.

I just love that it can make LEGOs dance my brothers plays it to .that’s what made me interested l started at a hotel and playing was so awesome and extremely exciting so maybe we can get some sleep and maybe they will even make more stuff so we can do so much more and all can help we can give video people big big ideas and then we can make it a better yay writ a review and then This will change your life.

This paragraph is letting me get out some of my excitement from this game so that I can write something super after it

This is the best game ever it is soooooo much fun and it’s super cool to see your Legos come to life! Vidiyo lets me be super creative and it provides me with endless fun anywhere I go!!! This is now my most favorite game in the entire world!!!

This is my super good writing paragraph!

I have always loved legos becuase they give me a way to express my creativity. LEGO has allowed me to see my this app people in life size form and it combines some of my most favorite things. Creativity, music, colors, and legos! I would totally recommend getting this outstanding game that gives your legos a whole new world!

I love the aspect of making a music video. It is fun because there is a kid safe posting site where you can comment and post your videos. You can also make videos with you in them and the effects are so cool. My only complaint is that there aren’t a lot of songs to chose from. But the idea of the cool characters and the stage effects are so cool!!! Also you can make a band with a funny name and combine your VIDIYO sets, every time you make a video you get coins that you can spend on new outfits. You can also rank up which is so cool 😎! Thank you this app for making this awesome app!
