Seriously, I use a iPad and idk how to start up. If you would make it easier to get into 3d animating, then I’d give 4.5 stars . ### 2/5 — I forgot it was not blender *2025-10-16, version 2.0* Come on ### 4/5 — Как создать модель *2025-04-27* Как создать модель? ### 1/5 — can someone help me *2025-02-01, version 2.0* Why is it saying that it i can use on phone but its not letting me on the app its all for keyboard can someone reply please ASAP ### 1/5 — Kill yourself *2024-12-03* Why did you even make this app? It’s just a waste of time and gave me a bunch of Torio screens, but it never let me actually do the things I wanted to which was the entire purpose of this app so please kill yourself ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2024-11-03, version 2.0* Just shortcuts ### 1/5 — Not what I expected *2024-09-07* If you are downloading this app because you want to build and create items, then don’t waste your time by getting this app. This app is just like a cheat sheet from what I hear. It only gives you the controls of the keys, but it’s for another app. You have to buy the actual app that allows you to build and design. If your looking to know the controls and which button/ keyboard key does what, then this is an okay app. But if your a little confused like me and scrolling through the comments, then just don’t get the app. It’s not like it costs money to get this, but the app this one promotes does. So this is probably a decent app for people who bought the other one but for me it’s just not what I was looking for. ### 1/5 — I CANNOT USE IT *2024-07-28, version 2.0* I HAD TO UPDATE MY IPAD AND IT TOOK SO LONG JUST TO BUY THIS AND I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE IT ### 1/5 — Do not buy this app *2024-07-14* Won’t let you make anything. I don’t know if I’m being dumb. I’m on tablet and it won’t let me maybe just won’t let me build or something, but I’m not really sure how this is supposed to help you and stuff if it won’t let you do anything sorry if I’m being dumb. ### 1/5 — Makes you watch adds to unlock *2024-06-22* I don’t understand this app. There’s a problem with my computer blender which can add keyframes but there’s no animation. So I’m trying to use this app. But this app is just adds. And everything else I don’t understand. I JUST WANT SMTH ABOUT KEYFRAMES!! If you know how to fix this issue pls tell me. Goodbye and I’m uninstalling this app ### 1/5 — NOT EVEN REAL *2024-06-14, version 2.0* I WAS SO EXCITED TO GET THIS APP BUT ITS JUST A BIG TUTORIAL ON HOW TO USE THE REAL APP AND US COMPLETELY USELESS! If I could put -5 stars I would, VERY DISSOPOINTED! 😡 ### 1/5 — Could be great *2024-02-20, version 1.0* Totally agree with the other review - the black font makes it really hard to see what it says. There’s also way too many ads for something you can just search up online! All in all it’s quite pointless ### 2/5 — Could be great *2023-12-26, version 1.0* Cannot see shortcut keys because of font volute against a black background. Defeats the purpose of the app. ### 1/5 — Lying *2023-11-10* You should pay for full-functionally app. There is no info about that on app-store page. Only about Ad-Free… ### 1/5 — I don’t know how *2023-11-04, version 1.0* I download the app, get onto it, unlock all the tips, where do I start from there? Huh? (On mobile) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — doesnt work *2026-03-30, version 2.0* you cant actually do anything on the app ### 1/5 — Don’t buy it *2026-03-29* If you wanted to create and have fun don’t but it bc the only thing it does is show u the keys and you have to buy the actual app to create ### 1/5 — What is wrong with this? *2026-01-11* I wanted to 3-D model things on my own and I thought this was a mobile version of blender. Turns out it was wrong. It was a tutorial on blender and a blender isn’t even available on the iPad or mobile is what I’m on and it makes you watch ants for some things that you can just get by tapping the search button. ### 1/5 — Ничего не понятно *2026-01-01* Зашла, думала создать какой-нибудь классный проект, по типу анимаций от «Product» (неуверенна что то приложение) но тут ничего не понятно, какие то кнопки, шифт, еще что-то, почему нельзя создать проект??? ### 1/5 — JUST HORRIBLE 😔😔 *2025-10-02, version 2.0* I was just looking for apps to animate and I found this app.I thought it would be the best app for animating but no.All it does is just show you a bunch of keys.I SPENT 2 HOURS TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT.I am so tired of searching how to use this app JUST TO FIGURE OUT IT DOESN’T EVEN LET YOU ANIMATE.I am so disappointed that I spent all my time trying to work this app.So if you want a app that shows you a bunch of keys well here you go take this app.ITS HORRIBLE. P.S THE KEYS DON’T SHOW YOU ACTUAL KEYS.don’t ever bye this app it just waste you time.😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — I can’t get in *2025-09-24, version 2.0* I can’t get in I need a step by step ### 1/5 — It’s not what you think it is *2025-08-02, version 2.0* I am a 3-D animator. And if I’m not gonna lie, I was pretty excited to see that they made an iOS version of blender. and I almost got the sensation that it was too good to be true mostly because it is because blender keys is not a 3-D modelling app. It is a giant paid manual with commercials and I find it so ridiculous that there is a premium version of this because if you read the description you realize that it mentions nothing about actually 3-D modelling but instead is talking about shortcut. If you’re looking for a 3-D modelling software, just use the blender app on your PC or something and there is tons of better options out there if you really want to use an iOS version.. but the sprinkle on the cake of this is the fact that I’m pretty sure that this app was meant for a shortcuts for the blender iOS app that hasn’t even came out of the time of writing this review. And if you look back all of the other five star reviews talk about how it helped them to learn the shortcuts, but they say nothing about 3-D animation. I spent almost 5 months trying to get this to work. Before I realize this, so if you’re reading this, just use the PC version where you can actually 3-D animate not impressed. ### 1/5 — This is so confusing *2025-07-24, version 2.0* I wanted to make 3-D animation I thought this Apple help but it just got harder☹️ ### 1/5 — - *2025-06-25* Там ничего не понятно куда нажимать и все на английском я хочу сделать это на телефоне например я не понимаю куда нажимать чтоб начать делать ### 1/5 — BRO ITS ON MOBILE BUT DOESN’T WORK *2025-03-23, version 2.0* I SPENT MINUTES TRYING TO GET THIS APP ON MOBILE AND DOES MINUTES WERE SOENT FOR NOTHING.. NOTHING ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is actually really useful *2026-04-04* As an active blender user this helps a lot if I need to figure out any shortcuts it’s super easy with this app, it would be awesome if they can make more workflow tutorials like the sculpting one but with VFX 🥺 please… also it would be cool to mix the VFX thing with After Effects, or do one about rending in blender, but I actually like this app thank you. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2025-07-13, version 2.0* This guide has helped me so much when trying to figure out blender. It's extremely comprehensive and easy to follow ### 5/5 — Great *2025-06-04, version 2.0* Very helpful ### 5/5 — 😎 *2023-08-31, version 1.0* This is one of THE BEST apps I have ever had the ABSOLUTE PLEASURE of using. ### 5/5 — Good idea and works fine *2023-07-28* Its a great app with a big potential and a good beginning. As a Brazilian consumer i would like the portuguese version. You could give more options to personalize the app and use images as visual reference. In the future this app can be the best offline guide for blender. Nice job! ### 5/5 — Ruin *2023-07-23* Ruin ### 5/5 — To see the keys u must do this ! *2022-12-07, version 1.0* In ur phone settings disable dark theame and like magic the keys are now visible Merry Christmas and happy merry birthday new year and like what ever you celebrate have fun be safe love and be loved hugs n kiss’s and try to remember 🥄. 💋🌻. ### 5/5 — Cheat sheet for hot keys in Blender, not the actual Blender program or tutorials *2022-06-09* As a newbie I think this app is great. I was a little confused about the symbols on the keys at first until I found the switch for Show Mac Keys in About This App, Settings, and turned it off. Then I could see the familiar Alt and Control keys that I have on my pc. I think the Shift key should be the word Shift instead of a hollow up arrow because it could be confused with the actual up arrow key. Otherwise, I think the app is great. 2 free sections is reasonable (generous, really) and so far it’s all I need to learn the first steps (which for me are modeling and sculpting) in creating parts in Blender to 3d print. The people that left bad reviews don’t understand what this app is for or haven’t turned off dark mode in their phone settings. Developer could add white text at the top of each page that tells people to turn off dark mode to see the key pics. ### 5/5 — Informative *2022-03-01* Nice little app with shortcuts and tricks. Very helpful for a beginner like me! Does not yet work with “dark mode”, so for those complaining, just turn off “dark mode” and you’ll be able to read everything just fine. Can’t expect too much from a simple informative app. ### 5/5 — Works great and very handy *2021-02-01, version 1.0* I’m a newbee so this is great for starters. It has MacOS options keys too. What I don’t know is how far it’s been updated in relation to Blender’s ever evolving features and fonctions . In other words the many basics keys are explained but not sure about the most recent ones. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
