### 5/5 — It helps

*2026-09-14, version 2026.3.1*

Is the hest app what me i use to buld my first pc whirhout experjenx i relly like thus ë app

### 4/5 — 4.5 Stars: One of the best apps for a PC!!!

*2026-09-12, version 2026.3.1*

Overall, this is one of the best apps I have ever downloaded personally. The only reason why it isn’t a 5 star banger is because you have to pay to view individual parts in 3D. Plus, you can still view the whole build in 3D for free. But other than this minor inconvenience, I would 1000% recommend this to anybody who is going to build a PC.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-09-11, version 2026.3.1*

While reason I got the app was to see my build in 3d and it doesn’t even load

### 5/5 — hi

*2026-09-08, version 2026.3.1*

sorry for this but b4 case isn’t working, what I think might be happening is the parts are not in the case due to the parts being in another case, but that’s just what I think.

### 4/5 — Cool App

*2026-09-01, version 2026.3.1*

This is a brilliant app. I’m not going to write a whole book or anything just want to say that it would be nice if everything was available without being signed in.

### 5/5 — Such a fun app!

*2026-09-01*

I’m trying to put together a first build. I am a newbie and this is helping me learn visually to see where the parts go, etc. I’m excited to see further development on this. A couple of recommendations:
1. Being able to favorite parts from the library would be awesome. 
2. Searching for user builds by part (ie. I would like to see certain builds with a particular case)

Overall, love this app and I am having a blast. Nicely done!

### 5/5 — Pc

*2026-08-31, version 2026.3.1*

Está brutal. Esta aplicación. La recomiendo 100%.

### 5/5 — Amazing — would recommend.

*2026-08-31, version 2026.3.1*

Like I said in the title, the app is amazing. It offers a vast majority of products across many different and unique categories. The 3D model aspect of the parts list really gives it a special touch. I especially enjoy being able to view such detailed 3D models of the parts I select without the need to purchase anything. I am excited to see what is to come. Good job, BuildCores team!

### 5/5 — Joseph review

*2026-08-28, version 2026.3.1*

Great app for first time pc builder who don’t know parts that well loads of cases cpu’s gpu’s ram kite storage and power supply options even case fans thermal paste and sound cards capture cards and network cards 

It shows no desks are in stock for me far so look at amazon for that but loads more monitors keyboards mouse’s l speakers microphones and headphones so amazing app just add more desks if you see this moderators please

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-08-24, version 2026.3.1*

Love this app helpful for planning my pc! One suggestion would be adding the interstellar series of the jungle leopard fans and the chill arc 360. Would be helpful to me, so i can look at the actual one i wanted. Great app!
