Function Orbit is very slow fixed and much more, team FormIt. Section plane please, export scenes ### 3/5 — Crashes ALL THE TIME *2022-04-12, version 2023* Great capability for a mobile application, but any sufficiently detailed structure causes the app to crash during use, resulting in the loss of all progress. Even more infuriatingly, the app will crash anytime you attempt to save your progress if you’ve done more than 3-4 minutes of work. If I want to add to a rendering, I have to save every time I make a change to avoid overwhelming the app and causing it to crash. Even then, it often crashes upon opening for no apparent reason. It creates a “restored” version of any file that crashes, but these restored copies wont open or load and are therefore useless. I use a brand new iPad Pro with the highest capabilities so this shouldn’t be an issue. This app is fantastic for viewing renderings on the go, but not making them. ### 4/5 — I always loved autodesk sketchbook *2020-01-12, version 18.0* This ones nice ### 3/5 — Very nice, but not compatible?? *2019-10-02, version 17.4* This app is really great to have on a tablet, to do 3D projects. But what I can’t understand is why projects can’t be imported/exported between this and the (also Autodesk) AutoCAD tablet app. Shouldn’t this be a given? ### 2/5 — Way to confusing *2017-04-22, version 16.0* I don't know how to add windows and detail it's just to confusing ### 4/5 — GREAT app, however *2016-12-04, version 15.1* Mostly when I do big projects, like I do roof panelling on my design, there are so many polygons that it starts to freeze up, but with a little bit more optimization, hands down best app on the app store ### 3/5 — Like it but.... *2016-10-19, version 14.2* Like it but need more tutorials on basic use ### 3/5 — Clumsy Interface *2015-09-16, version 11* Great initial modeling and design integration app but the drawing tools seem clumsy when trying to work with fine groups or objects. Seamless workflow into Revit is great. ### 4/5 — Great App. *2015-06-08, version 10.0* Would like to be able to save shapes I use often instead of having to recreate them and would like to be able to delete projects I don't like. Other than that, this I a nice App. ### 2/5 — Do not update *2015-03-18, version 9.0* I was excited at first, then I discovered that no more solid operation. You can't add or subtract. ### 2/5 — Nice app but I am tired of this bug *2015-01-30, version 8.1* Please fix the crash bug ### 2/5 — Poor interface and workflow *2015-01-15, version 8.0* Whoa is this app frustrating to use. Basic line creation and editing seems overly difficult. Adding a little more intuition to the interface would go a long way especially for those of us who are used to autodesk products. I'll keep trying to work with it, but for now two stars. Yeesh. ### 3/5 — What Happened? ROTATE TOOL *2014-12-08, version 8.0* This was an amazing app. What did they do to the ROTATE TOOL? No matter how many times I watch the ONE recent video explaining how the NEW ROTATE TOOL WORKS. Its nonsense to me. Speak Up People, let them know, I can't be the only idiot having a mental breakdown with it. ### 4/5 — Great app, but... *2014-04-23, version 6.5* Fun game, but will often freeze for a few seconds then continue ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This is useless *2020-06-28, version 2021.1.1* To get anything more than making blocks on Google Maps. I need something more robust that doesn't crash. That let's me draw lines every once in a while. Thanks. But, no thanks. ### 1/5 — Desktop software shoehorned into iPad *2020-01-29, version 18.1* With Any good 3d drawing program on the iPad with pencil, the very first thing I should be able to do is draw. With this, I can’t ### 1/5 — Terrible *2017-09-14, version 16.1.1* It is terrible ### 1/5 — Garbage *2017-08-11, version 16.1* I was so excited when I found this app. 😡😡😡😡....and then I downloaded it. What a waste doesn't even work. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2017-07-12, version 16.1* Looks good in pics but cant even draw a line. When will Trimble provide an iPad Sketchup. ### 1/5 — Awful *2016-04-21, version 13.2* I tried to put grass down it did not do anything 😭👿 ### 1/5 — Does not work very well *2016-03-17, version 13.1* I find the app counter-intuitive and glitchy. More trouble than it's worth. IMHO ### 1/5 — Wish I could figure it out... *2015-11-18, version 12.2* Can't even figure out how to draw a single line. Watched the getting started, didn't help. ### 1/5 — Not good at all *2015-05-07, version 9.1* This is not a good app at all. It has many glitches and is extremely hard to control. Sometimes when I am changing the color I see nothing except for moving lines. Another thing is when I try to change color it goes into a weird mode and doesn't let me do anything until I exit. Also some blocks are impossible to control and place right next to or on to of the other blocks and I can't make diagonal lines. I hope this review helps you decide whether you would like to buy this app or not. ### 1/5 — Crash *2013-10-22, version 5.1* It a great app but it keeps on crashing on me ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2021-04-10, version 2022.0* FormIt is just an amazing program that allows the user that spends a few hours fiddling with it to discover a new, fast way to create structures that look beautiful. I use FormIt in many ways but primarily to create perspective accurate shapes that are ultimately used in drawing/paint programs, like Procreate. I strongly encourage everybody to try this great piece of software to explore its vast capabilities. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-03-26, version 13.1* This is by far the best 3D modeling app thanks autodesk ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2016-03-20, version 13.1* I am in a architecture club and this helped a lot! If you could fix a few glitches, then this would be perfect!! :D ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2016-01-17, version 12.2* For the person saying he/she can't figure it out, there's a help section there so check it out. I've been exploring and trying a lot of things out and It's really nice , wish you guys would add more materials and stuffs! ### 5/5 — Beautifully designed *2015-01-24, version 8.1* As an architecture student app has become my favorite app to test and develop ideas and projects for class. Very intuitive and easy to learn. I was designing in minutes. 👍 ### 5/5 — ICloud save *2013-10-17, version 5.1* It very good app but like for it to be able to say to ICloud just in case if I lose any files iCloud Will back up my files so I don't lose them. ### 5/5 — Abdolreza *2013-08-08, version 4.1* Why don't you add an option to enter exact dimension to make an object? Tks ### 5/5 — Pretty Epic *2013-07-10, version 4.0* Wow, its pretty nice app… great CAD program like google sketch up… but really nice! ### 5/5 — iPad CAD done right *2013-06-24, version 4.0* I had been playing with FormIt for over an hour making fun and interesting designs before even thinking of looking for the "help" button. Very intuitive, snappy response. Though not it's intended design, I am using it for designing sculptures and find it the easiest to use for my needs yet. Barely any learning curve. Syncs drawings to Autodesk's cloud service, which has a clunky interface. Haven't figured out how to export from Autodesk360 cloud to a file standard accepted by 3d printing services, would be great if they could clean up the workflow for that - again, not the intended design use of Formit, but since it's such a great cad program, pretty please make it easier for a novice to get a fabrication-service ready file out? I would happily pay for this app. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2013-05-09, version 3.0* Finally! Greatest app! Very similar to SketchUp - very simple and easy application. Please make the same program for the PC! =) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
