### 4/5 — Cool app for pc but

*2026-08-13, version 2026.3.1*

It’s a good app to see your pc in real time and everything but I wish there was a option to pick your parts on sites like eBay too on the app

### 4/5 — Premium locks most features that the previous update had

*2026-08-09*

The only reason why I’m putting three stars is because the new subscription takes away a ton of features that used to be free. And sometimes it can get the prices wrong. For example 32GB DDR5 would be listed as $99 when the selling company had it as different price. Other than that it’s great! I did use it to make my first pc and my friend’s pc. 

I’m looking forward to seeing how this app grows and wishing the best for developers.

### 3/5 — Mid update

*2026-08-08, version 2026.3.0*

They added so that you need to pay to see the airflow and your can’t see most of the games fps please revert it

### 4/5 — Great app but need some changes

*2026-08-05*

It’s a great app and has a wide variety of parts but I wish the app would notify me when a part i had on my pc goes unavailable and I wish there were more options for when the pc builder is helping you build games I wish there were more non first person shooter games for example rts game options like total war hammer 1 2 and 3 games or supreme commander games which are very heavy graphics wise needing powerful gpu’s to run the games graphics but without options like these when the app auto generates your pc builds for you it won’t be able to try and match the requirements you need

### 4/5 — 👍

*2026-08-02, version 2026.2.0*

### 4/5 — Greatest pc building/planning app i’ve seen

*2026-07-25, version 2026.2.0*

*2026-07-22, version 2026.2.0*

### 4/5 — 3D model Pain

*2026-07-18, version 2026.2.0*

The app is great, tons of nice options for builds and a wide selection for what ever ur looking for in a pc which is great but the one issue I had while using this app is the fact that the 3d model will not load ever on iPhone 14 i don’t now if it is just me but this is annoying because i would really want to see what my build came out looking like pls fix

### 1/5 — Why won’t it let me remove parts from the build

*2026-07-17, version 2026.2.0*

Why won’t it let me remove parts from the build??? I’ve reloaded the app and tried multiple times but it won’t work?!?!
