Not worth it at all

The app itself is easy to use. My problem is the fact that most people looking to make some designs on an iPad probably aren’t doing it for a business and it’s outrageous for a company to demand $300 a year if I simply would like to make a case for my Apple Pencil or make a replacement joint for a baby playpen. Take the materials/colors out, limit it to 3 designs, heck even 1-3 designs to export per week, charge $10 a month max, and call it the hobbyist plan, or else it’s just a complete rip off that no individual can afford or else they’d just do modeling with their computers that cost less than this after a few years or less. This is 100% useless if you don’t pay their $300 so they can get some nice Mercedes. Couldn’t even design my Apple Pencil case because it wouldn’t let me add any more lines or anything, and certainly can’t make the joint for the playpen because you can only export crap that looks like you made it in Minecraft. Don’t know a single person who uses this app because most 3d modeling is free on pc. These people are absolutely selfish and I don’t recommend this app for anyone who plans on designing something as super duper complicated as an Apple Pencil case or anyone who plans on doing more than just staring at the design, unless you make as much money as the people at this company who are ripping it out of people’s pockets.

Great program, horrible price

I have used many CAD program in the past, and was an early adopter of this software. But the price is absolutely ridiculous. Like other reviewers, I am also paying $50 a month (with a gun to my head) for ALL of Adobe’s graphic design software, and I resent it. We are sick and tired of subscriptions. This program is priced so far out of the range of the “ideal” target market that I don’t understand who is making these decisions. As an MBA, I’ll point the finger at either inexperienced MBAs or at least an MBA thought process. Your best pricing would take into consideration the needs of “makers” or folks with hobbyists with 3D printers...in fact, my cheapest 3D printer cost HALF of the annual subscription price of Shapr3D.I’m not saying the software isn’t worth it...it’s well-done. But you are missing out on a HUGE market of people willing to pay $9.99 a month (auto-draft, without the funny pricing games and forcing customers to pay annually to get that price). There needs to be a pricing option between the severely limited crappy free version and the $239/annual price. Quit ignoring the feedback! Take it seriously...you’ll have more people sign up, and you’ll probably make more!

A shame it’s a subscription service

This app is fantastic, It’s exciting to model using this, and with the added convenience on my iPad I can get a lot made in a day since I don’t have to be at a pc.The only thing I would recommend changing in terms of interface is move the mirror tool into the tools section. Having it as a transform feature is strange. Adding upon the scale tools functionality so one can scale height, width, and depth, independently would be perfect.That being said, its terribly disheartening that it’s not a one time purchase. Your target audience is confusing because engineers/designers who would have enough money for this should be using solidworks or rhinoceros to create models. This is perfect for students like myself who like to sketch with modeling, but we don’t have money to keep handing out to everyone who has a product to sell. I would pay good money to own this, but not temporarily buy into it. Substantial subscription services are ugly, they always have been and always will be. They make companies who have a good product, look bad because it comes off like they care more about profits than their customers.

Best 3D design app, Worst subscription options

This is by far one of the best apps I have ever used for 3D modeling. I have been learning with fusion 360 for awhile now and I find this to be so much quicker and easier to use. Using fingers to move and the Apple Pencil to work makes it very easy to move when you want to move and draw when you draw and not have one mixed with the other.It does have one flaw though, the price. First off, the free version only lets you save 2 designs, but all tutorial and even example designs count as your saved designs, that means if you want to use the free version you have to delete any tutorials or examples. If you actually want to use it you have to get the subscription. Which would be fine, honestly with all the crafted tutorials that do such a great job showing you how to use the app I think it deserves it, but not for the $300 they are asking for. I would happily pay $10 or around that ball park a month for a medium tier, and it surprises me they don’t since the questionnaire you fill in at the beginning asks if you are using it for a hobby or if you never 3D modeled before. If its only geared to professionals and you don’t want hobbiests using it then why even asking they are one? I am not even asking for you to make all the features free like fusion 360 does, just a lower cost for non-profesionals if you really do want hobbiests and non-pros using it as well

Mostly Gimmick, Somewhat useful, too expensive...

Working with CAD has long been the dream of many creatives with iPads. When I found this app I was so excited. When I cracked it open and started using it, a familiar and simple interface delighted me. And then the gimmick of using my Apple Pencil to create CAD drawings wore off. The usability can be extremely tedious when you want to perform multiple actions at the same time or sequentially. You have to extrude, confirm, back out, and then enter the tool again to extrude more than once. It’s also quite difficult to get used to navigation, whether in the viewport or using the buttons. For a premium price, I’d rather forego the convenience of creating on my iPad and spend it on a full featured suite on my PC that does more and isn’t as much a hassle. Both my wife and I also tried applying for student Pro versions by providing legitimate credentials and photo proof of our ID badges only to both receive emails asking for more information and then silence. I’m very doubtful that they even provide student or educational licenses. After contacting them asking for a status update, they simply didn’t respond. If they can improve on the user experience issues, lower the price and fix the buggy nature of the 3D models themselves, I’d consider trying again.

Almost There

This app is an amazing and powerful tool, and I am really enjoying it! Learning so much. However, I wish there were was a quick and easy way to Select All in the layers menu. In many Microsoft programs you can hold down shift and drag down the items or click from the first item to the last item in a row to select all in between. There should really be an option here for this, ideally without the need for the Shift button as I often use this with just the Pencil. Also, as some have said, it is quite expensive. I fully understand it is a powerful tool and is capable of industry uses, and I do think if a business or someone is using this for their work, that cost is reasonable. But for someone just learning or doing it as a hobby, the 2 project limit is very restrictive and the cost is exorbitant. I hope there is something that can be done for this. I had other suggestions/feature requests that I can’t think of at the moment, but I’ll be sure to add when they come to me. Thank you for making such an awesome tool!Edit: Requests:1. Copy a shape (or a group of shapes) from one project and paste into another. Huge timesaver.

Price is a deal breaker

First let me say that this is one of the most well thought out design apps I’ve used and i have used many. Its simplicity is wonderful and its effectiveness great but it is still an iPad app and that is no replacement for a professional desktop app and that is what it is claiming to be by asking the for the outrageous amount of money it is asking. Sure Autodesk products ask for much more money but are full featured applications that can never be replicated on something like an IPad. The bottom line here is that the app is fantastic but its still just an IPad app and will always be second rate compared to a desktop machine, it will always be secondary. I would question anyone who says they can support a professional design firm on an iPad only basis, its not gonna happen. Can you produce very compelling documents on and with an iPad, yes of course but never an IPad only. For an office using this app $240 a year is nothing in comparison but for a general hobbyist or 3D model printer its way out of range. I would hope the developer realizes there is a gap here and offers up the possibility of different packages for a “typical user” as opposed to a “professional” user.

Amazing value! Amazing App!

I’m about $3600 deep in “The big name CAD Program” product, and still don’t really know how to use it well after a year and a half. I downloaded this app, followed a tutorial, and designed a complex gear assembly in like 40 minutes. It’s insane how intuitive and easy it is. My 12 year old son is designing things to 3D print, and I’ve been cleaning up files I’ve been afraid to touch, because they were ”Close enough”, but not perfect, and I’m not good enough with my other software to fix them without potentially messing them up. CAD hasn’t changed in like 30 years. It’s ugly, it’s complicated, and it’s time consuming... I know I sound like a total fan boy. Just download it, and make something. That’s the only way you’re going to understand what I’m saying... this is exactly what I’ve been looking for! You can import and export other files, and best of all, unlike almost every other iPad app for CAD, this one uses the Apple Pencil, which is amazingly intuitive, and it does not need to be on the internet to work. 4 thumbs up guys!!!

Amazing, but…

So let’s start with the bad, the price is really up there for only being an iPad app. I wouldn’t mind dropping $250 one time, and I have for programs such as rhino 3D but that much per year is a bit much especially when that’s easily the cost of the entire Adobe Creative Cloud and that comes with multiple programs and cloud storage. Even solidworks can be free to small businesses and design firms if they’re making under a certain amount. Full disclaimer btw I have an educational license for the program so I have not paid the full amount but I feel that other users feel the same. Now for the good. This app hands down is the best app I have ever downloaded onto an iPad since touching the gen 1 iPads. It’s so easy to use and it seems to be very well optimized (I’m using a gen 3 iPad Pro so I’m not sure how other hardware affects this) it took me a matter of a day or two to get the basics and the in app tutorial is so easy to follow. I really want to see more of those in app tutorials, but for an on the go CAD solution this one id definitely hard to beat. I can’t wait to see how this progresses. (I have also seen things saying there’s going to be a windows version of this so I’m kinda excited for that)

Pricing just isn’t feasible for hobbyists

With the new 12.9” models, I made the switch to iPad only and got rid of my laptop. The biggest thing I was worried about was losing access to modeling tools like Sketchup or Fusion 360 and I was so excited when I found Shapr3D. I went through the tutorial and it really does seem like it could be a replacement for my desktop tools until I went to actually create my first model and was faced with the subscription costs.I’m now at a point where I have to decide if I can actually justify the cost and I just don’t think I can. Hobbyist wood workers like me tinker with lots of different designs over a long time (I’ve been planning some cabinets for months), we’re not pros who work on one thing for a while. I think I could swallow $10-15 a month or even a kind of steep one-time purchase for an app of this quality, but I just can’t justify $30/mo. That’s just too much for something I’ll only spend a few hours a month using.It’s a real shame and I’m sure that the app has value for professionals, but we hobbyists are priced out. I don’t know what features they could restrict to make it viable for people like me and I’m sure the price is based on what it costs them to make the app, but sadly I’ll have to mooch my wife’s Mac and go back to Fusion 360.
