Features Users Want Most in Lego Assistant Apps

"I would have paid if it was a one time purchase, but like most brick scanning apps, they decided to rent the app to you."

"It used to be a great app. I would have paid if it was a one time purchase, but like most brick scanning apps, they decided to rent the app to you. Sad, will be deleting."

"I understand the need to make money. However it would have been nice if existing users would have been allowed more than 3 images per day. The existing users are the ones that used and provided feedback on this app in its beta form and are part of th"

"Not a good app. It loses Wi-Fi often and only gets the piece correct like 50-75% of the time."

"Downloaded this app 2 days ago. Continually get the message "no network connection ". Must be on their end because things here are working perfectly."

Launch with generous free tier (20-30 scans/day minimum)

BrickScan's downfall was severe free tier restrictions. Users need sufficient scans to sort bulk collections. Differentiate by not repeating this mistake.

Offer one-time purchase option ($15-25) alongside optional subscription

Users explicitly stated willingness to pay once but rejected subscription model. Hybrid pricing captures both markets and builds goodwill.

Prioritize offline-first architecture with local caching

Connectivity issues plagued BrickScan and frustrated paying customers. Reliable offline scanning with cached data would be a major competitive advantage.

Integrate accurate BrickLink pricing API

Users distrust current pricing data (3-5x inflated). Accurate BrickLink integration would establish credibility and utility for collectors/sellers.

Build grandfather program for early adopters

BrickScan alienated beta users who provided feedback. Launch with commitment to reward early users, building loyal community from day one.
