Just thought I would share this app, you might have heard of it but this blows me away. Get this. Take all you Lego bricks and flatten them out on the floor. Allow the app to scan the them by taking a picture which it analyses. After a minute, it then comes up with Lego plans based on the pile of brick you have (it scanned 1000 bricks in our pile and gave us 100 different plans) and it can even show you were each brick is you need in the pile for the different plans.

It is just me or is this amazing. When I was growing up we only had 3 channels on the TV!

Yeah I saw that, looked amazing.
Especially the way it highlights where the pieces are.

is it available on Android? I'm struggling to find it in the app store?

edit to add : I think it's called brick manager (creator : Jasper Van Den Berg) in Android.

edit again : No, I don't think that's the right app! any ideas?

Thanks for this! Will try this out later after work.
I have big box of Lego from random sets so it would be cool to see what I can build from it.

I tried it a couple of weeks ago. Scanned various piles of bricks (>500) and each time it couldn't find anything to make.
It's limited to simple models at the moment, which made the experience all the more disappointing.
