  • Wonderful app

    Love that I can show friends and clients but would like to see floor plan and ability to share specific files with unique clients.

  • 3D viewer

    I think this is a great beginning design towards VR for CA. The app is this = close to making it usable for google cardboard lenses which would be really great!
  • Simply amazing....

    Chief Architect is perfect. They customer service is impeccable. I have never asked them a question they didn't know. Now we have VR capabilities...

  • Miserably designed.

    This is just miserable to use. No pinch to zoom. Touch two fingers to the display and the model vanishes. The walk through mode flashes and blinks and strobes. The navigation options are not intuitive.

    Worst of all, you can't review designs while on an airplane because it insists on connecting to the Internet just to authorize viewing (as if it could be used to view other company models.)

    Everything is sloppily designed...even entering your email address and password is bizarre with a normal looking user name and password box but when you click to a field it expands to the full width of your iPad.

    Need customer support? They honestly ask you to pay $125. Yes, $125 and not $1.25!

    This is just one of the most underwhelming apps I have seen.

    Hello Gentle Explorer, We appreciate your review. Since your review we have had several updates to the app that addresses some of your feedback. Additionally depending on the model size and device hardware, performance may vary. Information on optimizing a plan for the 3D Viewer is available at https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03044. The app does initially require an internet connection to download the models, but once downloaded you can view them offline. Paid technical support is available for our desktop software, which is a different program than this app, at $125 per incident. I hope this helps! Best, Chief Architect Software
  • Good

    Fast and easy to use. Very difficult if not impossible to isolate a single floor and allow easy overview of that floor. Have to align the slices perfectly and even then it leaves things all jittery. Great for overall viewing, horrible for fine detail viewing. And get that top bar off the screen its huge and gets in the way.

  • Awesome App!

    Finally a viewer for my clients. What a neat way to communicate ideas to clients outside of the office. This app works great except for the bar at the top of the screen is in the way.
