IO Blocks 4+

Terrible execution of an app! Deserves zero stars! You have to hold your phone over a random piece of cardboard that comes in the box. If your camera loses sight of the cardboard then the image goes away. It’s hard to see the car because of the placement in the corner of your screen.. you cannot set the phone down because the image will go away, so somehow you have to hold your phone just perfectly while building with one hand. Why can’t I just open an app with step by step instructions?! There is no reason to involve use of the camera and make you hold the phone the entire time! This company should be ashamed! Create a usable app!!

You have to hold the iPhone in your hand to look at the graphics, which you have to do to even try to decipher how to put the blocks together to build anything. The minute you put the iPhone down, the image goes away. My grandson is frustrated that we can’t build the boats. Am I doing something wrong or is this just the worst app ever?

The blocks are great. My students enjoy building with them. The cards included with the set have great ideas but because the app doesn’t work, some models are too hard. I can’t get the camera to work in the app. It took a few days to even figure out how to find the camera. So frustrated with this app.
