### 1/5 — Don’t use this

*2023-05-12*

I wanted to use 3D art, but you can’t do anything with it. Nothing happens when you press any buttons, and the help does not help me.

### 5/5 — OMG!

*2021-12-22, version 1.7*

This is so good! It is so amazing! No changes needed! 
IT’S PERFECT!

### 3/5 — Please keep working on this!

*2020-12-24, version 1.7*

Needs a lot of work but the idea is there! Navigation is uncontrollable and the augmented reality is broke for me. But the ability to draw a shape , colorize it and then have shadows casting on objects would be a cool start for a base to draw or paint over.

### 1/5 — I don’t to say much

*2020-07-04, version 1.7*

Just four words it’s bad and glitchy

### 2/5 — PROBLEM!

*2020-06-25, version 1.7*

Can’t even get the app to work without having to do some sort of horizontal landscape or something weird? 
Like what even is that!? Fix it pls! Well u won’t have to cause I’m not gonna use this!
I had high hopes for this app! I thought I would enjoy using it but apparently not...😥
Not trying to be rude though...

### 4/5 — It’s good, but

*2020-06-18, version 1.7*

It’s good but I think it would be nice if there was a way to erase parts like putty if that makes sense, also I would like it if had an option to move around more ( to see the bottom, front, back, and top of my creation, and lastly it would nice if I could have layers so I can create hair on a character and other stuff like clothes and etc. thank you for listening.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2013-12-20, version 1.1*

This app is AMAZING! The tools (including the sketch tool) work surprisingly well. I got dizzy for a few seconds but then mastered the slightly odd (but simple) viewing controls. Will DEFINITELY be buying the full version.

### 1/5 — Artist 3d

*2012-12-05, version 1.0*

This app is very limited in its capability.   I would not recommend it.

### 1/5 — This app was confusing.

*2012-12-05, version 1.0*

This app was confusing and sucked.
