Don’t waste your money
Very slow, clunky, grid option just don’t work, trust me save your money.
Works great
I had trouble at first getting a larger grid to draw on until I found the upper and lower limit setting. I am a novice using CAD and was able to quickly create simple dimensional drawings.
Popup dialog box in German?
I’m not sure, since I couldn’t read it of course, but I think it was the typical feedback question, asking me if I liked my experience with the app. I couldn’t find a way to exit without tapping an option I couldn’t understand, so I simply forced it to close by double-tapping the app list and swiping out.

I haven’t used it much yet, but I LOVE it!!
My second review with FIVE stars:
The reason why I upgraded my review is because I found I can override the decimal format measurement, to write in fractional inches! This means I don’t even need the conversion chart from using my tape measure to match a gear’s design to the roller it will be attached to. PERFECT! At least for 2D CAD users. I don’t need 3D for mechanical drawings as long as I can produce multiple side views. YES!!!! After I finish designing a project to improve my job at the steel castings foundry, I’m going to recommend this to my supervisor! Thank you AGAIN!!!! 👍👍👍😊😊😊
My first review with four stars:
It seems more intuitive than AutoCAD, and I’m pleased to see it doesn’t require any “subscription.” The price must be a one-time transaction, because I don’t see it at all in my app subscriptions! I’m going to save more money that way! 😊 Also, AutoCAD seems to have had NO option for ellipses, and I had difficulty with dimensions adjusting from a zoomed-out window, to much smaller measurements. This biiCADo app adjusts to that in real time as I zoom in and out, or at least when apply the dimension measurement. MUCH better there, than AutoCAD! 😄👍🙏 Thank you!!

Can't make tangent circle
Can't draw tangent circle to two another circles.
Two years after reporting it in ratings and nothing solved.
No any contact with support available.

Great app
This is the perfect choice for 2d drawing. I am an old AutoCAD user I’m using this app to make drawings for my to CNC cutting machine. It’s simple intuitive and exactly what I need.
Good 2D CAD
Good basic 2D cad that actually works well on a phone.
Excellent first impression : but does not meet expectations
[ updated review ]
After three years, I think I must admit defeat !
I had hoped this would be a reasonable substitute for the wonderful old AutoCAD r12 ... but every time I try to use it, I struggle with the Layer settings, the Grid settings, or some other idiosyncrasy.
So near ... but so far away !!

This appears to be a very fine implementation of 2D CAD, and feels comfortably familiar to one who learned to draw on early versions of Autocad. ... The menu layout is clean, and very effective, and the provision of video 'Help' is useful.

Very Helpful app, but still need to add more features.
Very good app. But still need to add some features
- Propose line feature like AutoCAD when we need to join the existing.
- Need to add "divide", "Align" functions.
- Can only open using online storage instead of build in storage.
- Hatch patterns should have previews instead of word descriptions for easy use.
- Need easy interface tabs like ( Ortho, Polar, Grid etc.)
Please kindly add above features. Thanks !

Nice App!
If you have experience with autocad it won’t take long to get up and running with this app.
Broken
Google Drive integration is broken. No response from email support.
iOS 13 File App
Really like the app... Draws great but you can’t access the iOS 13 file app so that is a draw back. Also I can’t open a file emailed to me, I can email a file I make but can’t open one. Shows how to but the steps doesn’t work on my iPad Pro.. hope this is addressed soon...
Very Good
I never write reviews! I’ve been looking for a good basic standard 2D CAD app, and biiCADo does the job! I really want to encourage the developer to continue toads support for this product. With the IPAD PRO, keyboard and mouse, I feel that this package is very useful in a professional way. Thanks....keep it up!

Very good
This is a very good cad program, the best I’ve tried on the iPad.
It has a lot of features you would expect to pay a lot more for.

What's happened to Google Drive / Dropbox access?
This has been an excellent CAD drawing app for the iPad. The functionality is about the same as AutoCAD LT and the developers have done well to make a touch interface actually work.
However, the latest update seems to have killed Google Drive and Dropbox accessibility, which is a huge problem. This needs an urgent fix.

Has potential
Support is non existent, I don’t count short videos as help. I did manage to create the drawing I needed but it was hard work. I did not find the tools intuitive to use. If the tools make sense to you this is probably a good app but I can’t recommend it until you can try a Lite version first.
Good
Best I have found for drawing engineering parts etc on an iPad.
Extension lines
The extension lines don,t work properly all the time.
You cannot switch from horizontal to vertical back and forth, because after about a couple successes in switching, it keeps on defaulting to horizontal lines.
That being said, I gave it a one star yesterday, because of the frustration with the extension lines. However I just draw regular lines in place of using extension lines ect...
In truth I change this to a four star review, because I have not found a better ipad app, to take the place of my turbocad on my computer, then this app.
With this app I have drawn up very accurate projects that with the accuracy of the snap features, allowed me to machine parts to use this as I would my computer cad program to design parts that allowed me to machine to thousandth of an inch accuracy.
So far the best cad app for ipad I have found.

Still needs better updates
App has degraded after time. Line weights inconsistent, measurements set for architectural inches/feet show in decimals. Now the app is frustrating to use even when having years of Autocad experience. App could have promise.
Excellent
Finally a REAL cad app
