### 5/5 — Samuel

*2026-07-25*

Fellhauers

### 5/5 — Nice Inexpensive app

*2026-07-19, version 2.0.107*

Works really well with standard 3d files.
Cannot load colour obj files. But plain obj files ok.
Good value for money

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-07-18*

Don’t recommend

### 3/5 — Best app, no free version

*2026-07-06*

The app is easy to use and very nice, but the “free” version lets you upload one model and that’s it.  Even if you delete the model you uploaded, you can’t upload another.  Not worth me paying for, but there’s no option to say watch an ad to upload a file.

### 1/5 — Crashes immediately

*2026-03-22*

Can’t even make a single model work app crashes as soon as I upload anything

### 1/5 — micro model

*2026-02-28*

the model is shown in AR with %10 scale... pretty useless

### 5/5 — Feedback

*2026-02-27*

Allow to change background color and lighting positions

### 5/5 — Request

*2026-02-21*

Can you please add axis lock object rotation?

### 1/5 — Geht nicht unter iOS 26

*2026-02-07*

Geht nicht unter iOS 26

### 3/5 — Nice

*2025-12-18, version 2.0.74*

The only thing I would like to see is a way to rotate side to side like a turntable not just up and down.Also be able to slow the rotation or movements down optionally using a gizmo to help.
