### 2/5 — Impossible de revenir sur l’app

*2025-11-17, version 5.2.1*

Je dois désinstaller l’app pour pouvoir me connecter

### 2/5 — Pas top

*2024-02-14, version 5.1.6*

Il faudrait pouvoir visualiser et imprimer les fiches de travail depuis l’application. Dommage .

### 2/5 — De gros soucis d’ergonomie

*2022-11-04, version 5.1.2*

De bonnes choses, comme la possibilité de visualiser les empreintes en mobilité, bluffant de fluidité. 
Mais contrebalancé par des problèmes indignes : impossible sur un cas de connaître les détails : aucun moyen de lire la fiche praticien et de prendre connaissance de la date de livraison demandée et des détails de la commande. 
Et encore mieux côté labo : pour un grand nombre de cas les demandes apparaissent avec une pastille
reprenant les deux premières lettres du nom du praticien : problème : la majorité d’entre eux se sont enregistrés an indiquant docteur ou dr : toutes nos commandes viennent donc de do ou dr. Impossible de différencier. 
Vraiment dommage. Une bonne idée au depart qui tourne court vu les soucis d’ergonomie. Peu pratique au final

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2019-03-30, version 4.1.2*

No funciona Bien in iPhone X , no reconoce al usuario después de abrirla unas cuantas veces. Para que vuelva a funcionar hay que eliminar la app y reinstalarla de nuevo. Y así sucesivamente.
Tengo la ultima versión de IOS 12.2 y cuando quiero abrir la aplicación me dice que tengo que actualizar a 12.1.1 o superior. Con lo que en este momento no la puedo usar.

### 3/5 — Needs Touch ID/Face ID Compatibility

*2019-02-06*

I agree with the reviewer from May of last year. It’s a great app, but typing a password with each use is very cumbersome. The developer responded in November of last year and indicated that functionality is coming soon. I would appreciate an update.

### 3/5 — Flash out currently

*2018-07-10, version 4.0.2*

As title. Need to be fixed. Thanks.

### 3/5 — Needs option to save login credentials

*2018-05-02*

Hey guys, awesome app, I’ve really only one suggestion, and I’m certain I’m not the first to mention it. There needs to be an option (functionality) that allows for saving login credentials. It’s kind of a hassle to have to re-enter password every single time app is opened. Face ID/thumbprint login would be ideal. Otherwise a great app. Thanks.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! The next version will provide login with fingerprint/Face ID, expect it to be available soon.

### 1/5 — App crash

*2017-10-02, version 3.3*

App crashes continuously. Especially when O try to wright a message.

### 1/5 — unfortunately

*2016-10-19, version 3.0.8*

Hi,
the idea of looking on the scans is great but why is it necessary to use a Donglenumber?? 
It would be so easy for all of us if one e-mail address would be enough.
This is the reason why I'm giving only a point.

### 2/5 — Dentist

*2016-09-20*

The good: easy way to review cases, excellent interface

The bad: stopped working in iOS 10, throws memory exception errors frequently without iPad Pro, frequent misaligned models, little to no support from 3Shape with communicate app, push notifications don't work

Could easily be a 5 star app with some work

### 1/5 — Constant ssl connection errors.  Anyone able to connect?

*2016-09-20*

I can't connect!

### 3/5 — Please fix

*2015-11-24, version 3.0.5*

The model doesn't  show texture

### 3/5 — Buggy communication

*2014-09-11*

The original app worked quite well, and I really enjoyed working with it. But subsequent renderings have been buggy at best. The company states that they are "fixing" the problem, but to date, it still needs help. Can't communicate with the lab with communicate. Ironic, no?

### 1/5 — Ständig Abbrüche

*2026-04-22, version 5.2.2*

Sehr schlechte App. Ständig abstürzte iPhone 17 Pro

### 1/5 — Crash

*2026-04-02, version 5.2.2*

Continuamente in crash . Inutilizzabile

### 1/5 — Crash

*2026-01-30, version 5.2.1*

Dopo l ultimo aggiornamento, l’applicazione mi si arresta automaticamente e quindi non riesco più ad accedere.

### 1/5 — Geht nicht

*2026-01-09, version 5.2.1*

App stürzt ab!!!!!!!👎🏻👎🏻

### 1/5 — Vraiment pas au niveau !

*2025-12-04, version 5.2.1*

Bonjour. Les services 3shape ne sont VRAIMENT pas au niveau… impossible de telecharger les fichiers sur le dental système ou dans le Unite malgré avoir VALIDÉ sur le communicate du site web, deja le fait qu’il soit impossible de DL les fichers depuis le web c’est une aberration technique vos concurrents font tout mieux ! Et moins cher !!

### 1/5 — Inutile

*2025-09-13, version 5.2.0*

Bonjour, application Communicate complètement inutile du fait de son ABSENCE de pouvoir télécharger les fichiers DCM/STL. Et ce malgré une licence laboratoire complète. Je ne comprends donc pas l’utilité ni l’existence de cette application…

### 1/5 — No RPD shown

*2021-09-30, version 4.1.12*

The RPD frameworks are not displayed.

### 1/5 — WARNING: August 2020 - Version 4.1.8 breaks the app!

*2020-08-11*

When running Version 4.1.8 released in August 2020, the app crashes whenever you use TouchID or FaceID on all 8 of our office’s iPads.  Very frustrating and looks quite unprofessional when showing patients.  As a result we are not longer allowing treatment educators to use 3Shape Communicate as an education tool for patients.

It’s a shame as the app used to be amazingly reliable.

### 1/5 — Cool in theory but so buggy it doesnt work

*2019-05-14*

Neat app but we sent 10 test cases to our own iPad using another login. All complete dentures, none of them show the denture base just the denture teeth (glue in arch). Sliders only hide/show the impression and bite registration. Not useful at all without that? Randomly crashes as well but mostly workable otherwise. I’m our companies CTO/CIO and we’re using iPad Pro 3rd gen 12”, fastest tablet you can get. I’m sure if I can’t get it to work I bet most dentists certainly wont

### 1/5 — Cannot login

*2019-04-21, version 4.1.4*

Only login at the first time.
When run the app again, failed to login. I am using iOS 12.2 and the latest version of the app.

### 5/5 — Tip top

*2025-02-12, version 5.2.0*

Funktioniert sehr gut.

### 5/5 — Trios 5

*2024-05-27*

I have had nothing but great experience with Trios 5 scanner!!! My staff used to use Medit scanners, but they now feel Medit scanner like a foreign object in their hand. 
Trios 5 is cordless!! It is easy and convenient to use.  The scanner scans the entire arch within a minute with clear image by one person. Soft tissue is easy to manage. 
Highly recommended!!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-05-08*

Great app for working with my specialist who scans for provisionals with me

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2018-01-29*

App works great on my iPad Pro. I’m thinking most people with issues are young an older device with limited ram and processing power.

### 5/5 — 구강스캔 데이터를 손쉽게 iOS에서 확인할 수 있어서 좋습니다.

*2013-10-24*

삼차원 모델을 iOS device에서 돌려볼 수 있어 만족합니다.

### 5/5 — En dos palabras...IM-PRESIONANTE

*2013-02-23, version 1.1*

Corre muy bien tanto en IPhone como IPad. Imágenes muy nítidas...un gran paso en el ciclo digital.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2018-02-04*

I like this app as I’m able to check that my work has been sent to the lab correctly and I can communicate with them if needed. The best bit is being able to look at my preps in 3D and show off to patients and colleagues. The only issue is having to enter my details each time I use the app, where’s the fingerprint log in?

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! The next version will provide login with fingerprint/Face ID, expect it to be available soon.

### 4/5 — Utilissimo

*2013-04-30, version 1.2*

Migliorabile la navigazione tra le funzioni ma molto efficace come strumento di condivisione dati e marketing con i medici. Outstanding product!

### 3/5 — Difficoltà

*2025-10-26, version 5.2.1*

Dopo L ultimo aggiornamento L app va in crash

### 3/5 — Won’t work on iOS 12.2 beta

*2019-02-15*

App says I need an OS update but my OS is a version beyond what is required.
