Is there any free functionality aside from the time-based trial? It looks like this is $45/year (or $84/year if paid monthly!), which seems pretty steep.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It must be intentional that the word Lego appears nowhere on this site, surely?
Lego are very protective of their brand as they have every right to be. There's a store near me that sells Lego-like sets of their own distinctive building and the box states "Quality Blocks - Compatible with other brands" Other trading websites for Lego sets and parts use the words "bricks" or "blocks" in their names instead.
I don't care if they technically have a right to do so, but they try and remove the usage of LEGO even when its usage falls under fair use.
Using LEGO in the examples you gave would fall under fair use.
Each new Lego boxed set gets built from the instructions exactly once. Admired for a while (days to months), then duly ripped to bits and the pieces are used to build much better things that then can - and do - change on an hourly basis.
I'm not about to interrupt my kids' creativity by even telling them about this app. They need less screen time, not more.

I dunno my time is worth more than that per hour. And sorting all those pieces will take more than an hour. So.. it's cheap.
This seems neat, and if there were some basic functionality (only smaller projects, or a limited number of complex projects per month), I would give it a try with my kid. But there is zero chance I'm going to introduce a subscription that costs $7/mo that would likely be used a handful of times each month.

It’s a drop in the bucket for LEGO enthusiasts who spend hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars a year on legos.
What's next? Finding a needle in a haystack? This is pretty neat and I would definitely play with it, but I'm not willing to front that kind of cash on something that might be terrible. It seems like the ideas are all user submitted -- I was expecting something ML here, like imaginary builds of cars. Cool nonetheless but there's a lot of untapped opportunity. My first thought was that this would be very useful for pa…
> What's next? Finding a needle in a haystack? I’m working on a jigsaw puzzle and hit a bit of a dry spell and was hoping there might be an app that could help find the pieces in a pile and where they go. Nothing exists yet that I could see. I imagine with a completed picture and a view of a piece it would be possible to show where in the picture the piece goes to reduce the burden. Extra pints if you can give it a v…
Just yesterday my 9 year-old proudly revealed his latest flying creation, created - as almost all our children's Lego builds are - entirely out of his own imagination and from the multiple tubs of bricks that sit next to his bed. Each new Lego boxed set gets built from the instructions exactly once. Admired for a while (days to months), then duly ripped to bits and the pieces are used to build much better things that…
