Very easy to connect, lots of things to do with the app, and the response time is fast between the app and the train
The app is great. My kids love it. To make it even better please add an option to stop the timer for timed events. The timer breaks the fun for younger kids. Also a play again option would be great to skip the selection process. My younger one loves feeding the construction worker. The selection boxes could be bigger thought. Thanks for the great app.
The design of the actual train it's amazing, and the app it's really well made.
Downloaded for purpose of controlling train. So far have one suggestion and one bug. I would suggest that the control lever be up/down rather than left/right. Think this is a more natural interpretation of forward/backward. In terms of bugs - when I go into settings to turn off Sounds / Music / Activities using the slider selector, this works with regards to turning things on/off, but the selector always shows as on, so you never know which one it currently is.
The main problem we have with the app is that our daughter would rather play the activities in the app than use it to control the train. She would quite happily play the app for an hour and not touch the physical train at all. There is the ability turn off the activities and use the app just as a remote control for the physical train (which is what we initially thought the app was). However it is very easy to turn the activities back on and our daughter has worked that out. I think it would be better if the ability to turn the activities on/off was in the “for parents” section and unable for children to access. That would at least give parents choice as to what their children can use the app for.
Why the train must be connected every time? Why not simply pairing once and just having connected when turning on? So annoying.... also when disconnected the train goes back to ,,dumb" mode, forgetting the headlight setting etc.
It works. Cant access parental controls. And my son just chooses activities from the list with no engagement to the physical train. Essentialy just playing with my phone. The ability to only acess activities when the train runs over the coloured markers would bring balance to this especialy when a parent is there to move them around. Now option with activities is on or off. With no middleground. Also the app does not save collected stickers. So my kid chooses quickest activities to get them
This is an amazing app, my child loves it. And I really hope you don't change the design or how it's run because it's fun and creative. It'd really rare to come by apps like this for kids. And how the trains connect is amazing with the bell and all. Keep this app just the way it is. Love it.
Like many other people have mentioned in their reviews, no keyboard appears to enter the solution to the math question to access the parents-only sections. Have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling. A text field where the keyboard appears is hardly rocket science in Android development. Dissappoingly poor QM from Lego.
Why bother advertising it as a feature if it doesn't work. App has never opened on any device I own. From Update: followed instructions and still doesn't work on multiple devices from different manufacturers. All devices are 2019 models, well known devices. You need to step up your QA before releases.
It's great. But it doesn't seem to work anymore. It's stuck in the loading screen. Edit: Tried reinstalling several times, restarting my phone, clearing memory etc. , didn't work. The next day worked just fine without any changes. Anyway it's a really fun app, I am enjoying this kind of connectivity in toys.
Thank you for fixing problem I reported previously. I can now use it and my daughter is happy to play with the train through the phone.
As a companion tool to the train set it is amazing, albeit made worse by the recent updates (manual water refill button is now available only in "No Activities" mode which is dumb, my kid likes BOTH refilling the tank at will AND the prompts from the command blocks). As a set of minigames it's... Now that you're letting us play them on demand without the command blocks, why not give them longer play modes? (Finally, I need an app reset button because we found all the stickers and my kid is sad)
Excellent. A dream come true. I used to want a train where I could control. 25years later, I have it for my son. You can control the train and have a mini game. I don't allow my son to use phones but this is an exception as the phone control is like a remote control for the train. Highly interactive! In Lego I trust
Mixed bag. Connected fine, controls working. I can't enter the parents only bit though, because no keyboard appears when the challenge questions are presented. Also, it is unclear how to unlock certain features on the map. Otherwise good so far.
Love it! Thank you Lego for producing great toys! The duplo train series are very special as it keeps your kids occupied with the train movement. Not only they can watch it move along the railways, they can also interact with the train by the action bricks. Not enough with that, parents can also control the train through the app. Great!
It connects easily enough, but it doesn't work at all as advertised. There is a user interface with buttons which are supposed to move the train etc., but it merely makes a faint whirring sound inside the train, and some lights come on, but that's it.
I have just installed the app and followed the procedure given to connect the train (10874). I've tried connecting both through the app and through the Bluetooth screen on my phone (Samsung Galaxy A6+) but it doesn't work.
Cool idea. I love the train interaction. I wish there was more possibilities of interaction. its a bit too commercially oriented and mindless video gamey. My hope was to get my son more interested in building and remote controlling than the video game aspect.
Connecting with the train was easy and fun. The app did freeze once while returning from one of the mini games. But for usage with the train it was lots of fun.
Overall a great experience enhancing an already captivating toy for a toddler. There are some small problems like sounds from the mini games not being stopped when the game finishes - it happens with the train washing game & the sponge sound that doesn't stop is annoying.
Update, app now fixed :) (although now the train has stopped making any sounds :( but I don't think this is app related ). Broken app, no longer even opens, just crashed. Tried uninstall and reinstall but not working on S9+
I'm also not able to access parental control as there exists no keyboard popping up to allow me to enter the answer. As advised to another customer I tried to remove and reinstall the app but it didn't sort out the issue. I just would like to set the app and have it ready working for when we open the cargo train on Christmas. Pls help. EDIT: I reached out to you over the chat yesterday. 6 times no luck. Each time the chat would drop/freez or would just wait forever. Not good enough for LEGO
The app keeps crashing at startup on Android 12 :( After clearing the cache and data, and reinstalling it works until being connected to the train, after which it crashes again. Update: It works perfectly now, after the latest update.
