Fixed a crash. If you had used live scan, the app could close itself while it was in the background, and you would come back to find it starting over. It stays put now. The camera stops when you leave. Locking the phone or switching to another app now releases the camera and pauses recognition, so live scan is not quietly running behind your back and the battery lasts longer.

Live scan is here. Point the camera at your pieces and brickbeam frames each one on screen as you move; tap a box and it tells you whether your set still needs that piece. The framing runs entirely on your phone, so it costs nothing — only the piece you tap to ask about is counted. Faster and lighter. The on-device recognition model is half the size and about twice as fast, and the app uses noticeably less memory on older phones. Scanning the same piece again answers instantly without spending a scan. Better recognition. Boxes now sit exactly on the pieces in sideways photos and pictures chosen from the gallery, pieces are found on coloured surfaces such as a red play mat, and colour reading has been corrected under warm indoor light so shades of grey no longer get confused. Fixes. Marking pieces found no longer counts the same ones twice, and touching the photo on the results screen no longer deletes your scan results. Projects that failed to start for some sets now open, and starting the same set twice no longer creates a duplicate. When two devices are used, their progress is merged instead of one overwriting the other. Pieces with printed and plain variants, such as heads and decorated tiles, are credited to the right line, translucent pieces are no longer reported as the wrong colour, and the weekly scan counter stays correct even if the app is closed. New option. The About screen can now keep photos of unrecognised pieces on your phone only, to improve recognition in future versions. It is off by default and nothing is uploaded.

This update makes finding pieces more accurate: - We now read the piece's colour too. The app no longer tells you to grab a red brick when your set needs the blue one. - Different mould and print numbers for the same piece now match, so a piece in your hand is no longer reported as missing. - If the weekly scan budget runs out mid-pile, the pieces already found are kept. Scans with no connection no longer cost budget. - Build ideas no longer count corner, curved or cross pieces as plain ones.

New: What Can I Build? Spread your pieces out and take a photo — brickbeam shows which of 4,000+ small sets you are closest to. Tap one and the pieces you already have come pre-marked, so only the missing ones are left to find. Also in this update: - Scanning a pile of pieces is much faster - Recognized pieces are labelled right on the photo - Projects screen shows a project counter, and tapping a set image opens it full size

We fixed small bugs to make the app run faster and smoother for you.

• Arabic is here! The app now speaks Arabic, Turkish and English — switch any time from the home screen. • Pieces you've found now stay on the list and are clearly marked, and you can filter by Remaining, Found or All. • Fixed piece scanning that could fail on some iPhones.
