"Pileometer" Use it? Like it?

[1963maniac]

This was on my Youtube: 

Has anyone used it? Do you like it? It's also under these youtube titles: "This App SCANS & SORTS Your Lego Bricks! ‪@PILEOMETER‬" and "Does this LEGO Scanner work? #lego #pileometer".

If you hold them in your hand, or put them on the table, or handle them in any way for scanning, you might as well put them in the right container straight away so they are only handled once. Not useful for me and certainly not a game changer for me. My collection I have on Rebrickable, I know that one will stay around.

One of those nonsense "solution in search of a problem" apps. The time he spends spreading out the pieces and scrolling through the lists could just as well have been spent sorting stuff manually.

agreed.

Not much to add to what's been said.
Using RB to manage my collection, and using just my hands to sort my bricks.

I mean, I guess it's useful for people that don't really know how they want to sort their lego?

However, the venn diagram intersection between those people, and the people that have enough loose lego that it needs sorting is going to be very small.

I wouldn't use a subscription app to log my collection. Comments are saying it is a paid for app, he should say that if it is.

I was also wondering how much system space it needs. It seems 2.1 GB are not enough.

I also find his channel particularly annoying. His videos started popping up in my feed on youtube almost a year ago. He seemed to be a youtuber known for gaming and vlogging that got into LEGO to produce youtube and other social media content, buying in loads of new sets for their backdrop without having had any interest in LEGO before that.
