Pros and cons of Blocks! app for iPhone and iPad

Blocks! app good for

Well done. Blocks are easy to place, rotate and stack. Undo is a great feature to have. Tons of colors and sizes of blocks to choose from. There are several slots to save you creations in, so when you let your friends play they can start fresh and you can come back to what you were working on later. The camera gets "turned around" sometimes, making scroll around a bit tricky at times. But overall, very nice app especially for a first version. Im hoping there will be regular updates, with more bits added over time. Id really like to see a bigger "sandbox" to play in, and the ability to stack lots higher than 6 bricks. Would be nice to be able to group pieces too, though that might be tricky. I own a few apps from this developer. All are a great value for the price with good updates on a regular basis.

great update. thanks for listening to my advice. Plese do something about the camera angle though. You guys have it set up so you drag the camera with 2 fingers. make it so you press bottons to change the angle. this would be MUCH easier. Thanks

I really like this app, but it would be better if there was a bigger building area and be able to build higher, and even more choices of building blocks. Other than that, the app works great.

Some bad moments

Its to hard to build in the game and it has to many options for the bricks which makes it harder to use

The black pieces are impossible to see, and you can not stack certain pieces together at all.

It is horrible! You cant see black blocks and lots of blocks dont stack. I would give this -5 stars if I could.

Unfortunately the app does not work and crash just after Ive launched. Tested on an iPhone 3GS and an iPad 2.

Its good, but I think it needs to update to the latest Lego pieces we have today. Now I know its hard, but if you can, it would be great to have the pieces I own on my iPod. But over all, thanks for making this.

I have a great time building with this App, but then I got the hang of using what they call Finger Gestures, and can move around what I build, like Im flying in space. Just just great!
