Nowadays literally every “free” app has a subscription that always keeps bugging you. ### 1/5 — Bruh *2026-07-25, version 5.20* I have to pay for ts not worth it ### 5/5 — Fun family weekend activity *2026-07-25, version 5.20* We design models together on the iPad every Sunday. My son makes robots, my daughter makes animals. Then we pick our favorites and 3D print them. ### 5/5 — Einfach und übersichtlich *2026-07-24* Keine überladenen Menüs. Alle Werkzeuge sind logisch angeordnet. Perfekt für den Einstieg in 3D. ### 5/5 — Portable design studio *2026-07-24, version 5.20* I sketch 3D ideas during my commute and export them to my PC later. Having a real modeling tool in my pocket is incredibly convenient. ### 5/5 — Ideal for classroom use *2026-07-24, version 5.20* I'm a teacher and my students love designing objects in Shapeyard. The tools are simple enough for ages 10 and up. We export STL files and 3D print the best ones. ### 5/5 — 界面清爽 *2026-07-24* 没有复杂的菜单，工具直观好用，OBJ和STL两种格式都支持导出。 ### 5/5 — Roblox ассеты легко *2026-07-24* Создаю кастомные предметы для Roblox. Экспорт OBJ в Roblox Studio без проблем. Удобный процесс. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WTF!?? *2026-09-07, version 5.24* WHYY DO YOU HAVE TO PAY TO USE🫩🫩😭😭 ### 1/5 — Bro don’t say it’s free if it’s not *2026-09-05, version 5.24* And stop using bots to promote it it sucks ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-09-05, version 5.24* Nooooo ### 1/5 — Refunded *2026-09-03, version 5.24* Had to request a refund due to the lack of functionality. My models disappeared while trying to work with them so frequently it made it unusable. Couldn’t figure out how to see actual measurements of lines, faces, etc or how to easily modify dimensions. Maybe the feature was there but the app kept making my models invisible before I could have a chance to fully experiment with it. Sad, as it looked like it had real promise compared to other modeling apps. ### 1/5 — False advertising; don’t waste your time. *2026-08-31, version 5.24* The second you open the app you are asked to rate it, and then you have to pay. It says it’s free on the AppStore but you cannot even access the software without buying it. Wasted my time🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Poorly made *2026-08-24, version 5.24* Do NOT waste time or money. **NO Trial: subscribe to open/use** Poor UX and UI. No labels, tutorials, examples etc. Most icons unreadable. Tools aren’t intuitive or cohesive. Paying to test an obsolete app is ridiculous. Selection method is tedious. Undo/redo on screen is nice, shortcut gesture would be better. Lag with camera and general use. Price point for features are atrocious. Many more issues: above found in first 4 min. (no exaggeration) ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-22, version 5.24* The app is free in the AppStore but the moment you enter the app you get hit with a subscription plan to choose from. There a ZERO free options. If you’re going to make the app cost money to use, then make the app for purchase. Don’t label it as a free app when it isn’t. ### 1/5 — THE WORSE *2026-08-21, version 5.24* It literally said in app purchases AND THEY MENT IT COST MONEY WORSE 3D MODELING APP EVER ### 1/5 — I’m unable to make anything or play with anything without paying I was finally in a good mood ruined *2026-08-13, version 5.24* Awful that you have to pay just to make one thing. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-08-08, version 5.20* Everything is locked behind a giant paywall you get into the app you complete a survey in it tells you to pay, if you X out of it and then press create project it just pops back up again ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sui *2026-08-29, version 5.24* My dad said I was Chad ### 5/5 — Rate *2026-08-24, version 5.24* Y ### 5/5 — Worst 3d modeling app ever *2026-08-24, version 5.24* You have to pay to make stuff ### 5/5 — Touch controls feel natural *2026-07-28, version 5.20* Modeling on a touchscreen actually works well here. Rotating, scaling, and combining objects feels smooth. The iPad Pro experience is especially good. ### 5/5 — Fun family weekend activity *2026-07-27, version 5.20* We design models together on the iPad every Sunday. My son makes robots, my daughter makes animals. Then we pick our favorites and 3D print them. ### 5/5 — Best iOS 3D modeling app *2026-07-27, version 5.20* Tried several alternatives. Shapeyard has the best balance of simplicity and power. Export to multiple formats is a huge plus. ### 5/5 — 3D printing made accessible *2026-07-27, version 5.20* Never thought I could design my own prints on a phone. Made a custom hook, exported STL, printed it. Works perfectly in real life. ### 5/5 — 이동형 3D 스튜디오 *2026-07-26* 출퇴근 중에 3D 아이디어 작업을 하고 집에서 OBJ 파일을 내보내서 PC에서 계속해요. 정말 편리합니다. ### 5/5 — Простой старт в 3D *2026-07-26* Никогда не занимался моделированием. За неделю уже создавал приличные модели. Очень доступно для новичков. ### 5/5 — Solid export options *2026-07-26, version 5.20* OBJ for game engines, STL for 3D printing. Both formats work flawlessly. Imported into Unity and Unreal without issues. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
