Error Reading File

Ich kann kaum mehr eine Datei öffnen. Permanent kommt der Fehler „Error Reading File“. Das Geld ist weg, der Ärger ist da.

Bad app

BIN files can’t be opened only the small ones in size and they have a very poor costumer service when u ask them why

Expected Motion Studies to work in the pro version

I would love to have motion studies like the desktop version does. Please add this functionality if possible.

Leider nicht zu gebrauchen.

Leider öffnet die Pro Version die step Dateien nicht. Es läd und nichts passiert. Manchmal stürzt die App auch sofort ab. Echt traurig für das Geld.

Repeatable crashes

eDrawings Pro still crashing. Does the latest iPad version go hand in hand with the WIN version that was released on 27 February 2024? My WINDOWS Laptop was crashing prior to installing the 27 February 2024 release. Now if you could get the iPad version stable I would be extremely grateful.

Update December 2025- just purchased a new iPad Pro with M5 processor, 256Gb. Had high hopes this app would finally work without crashing. Well it still doesn’t work. You ought to just remove it from the app stop before disappointing more people. I’d like to help you fix it if you’re interested.

Update February 2026. Still not usable. What’s ironic is I can open my 500Mb step files with the free 3D PDF Reader app from Tech Soft 3D. I also have a paid eDrawings Pro W11 that it opens with as well. Please fix this or remove it from the App Store.
