However there is something wrong with share function which allows type of export selection but then does nothing. Please fix! ### 4/5 — Would really like locked orbit *2025-04-24, version 2041* I would really like a feature to lock the orbit to prevent the model from tilting left or right. ### 4/5 — Really helpful *2024-03-26, version 2041* I agree, I tried a lot of apps, searching a fast and easy way to show 3D-Models on a mobile. You can get Data-Monsters up to 1GB for that, paying for functions you never need, but a app with just 55 MB is the solution. Though in my case the white texture is a bit too bright, the »clay« is completely sufficient. Do not expect a full 3D-software, but imagine, this app is for free and helps you to depict 3D-models really easy. ### 3/5 — Inconsistency *2022-12-09, version 2041* This is the only 3D viewer I could find with GLB capabilities, and it usually works, but specific files always crash the app when I click on them. ### 3/5 — Pretty Good *2022-11-07, version 2040* It does what it’s supposed to. Two features I would love would be a built in picture ability, maybe with a transparent background option. And definitely the ability to control the lighting ### 2/5 — Sharing doesn’t work *2022-07-03, version 2034* Why provide a sharing option if it obviously doesn’t work? ### 4/5 — Nice 3d viewer *2022-06-25, version 2034* but there is no explanation anywhere on how to add textures to the model. ### 4/5 — Best viewer I’ve found yet but… *2022-04-16, version 2031* This is a great viewer for quick viewing of multiple 3D file types. Very useful for me when I’m working with 3D printing files. However, unless I’m just missing something, there’s no way to Share a file with this app or to associate file types with this app to be able to have it automatically open files. So you have to open the app and Add files to it to be able to view them. Biggest complaint I have, maybe the developers will see this and add this feature. I think it would be easy since many other apps allow use of the Share functionality in iPadOS. ### 3/5 — Don’t know how to *2022-03-03, version 2026* I don’t know how to make a new project ### 4/5 — “gatewaydomainerror1” *2021-11-24, version 43* why can’t i make an account, it’s just says that it failed, following up with either “gatewaydomainerror1” or “gatewaydomainerror2” i don’t know why i just wanna make art ### 3/5 — Not good enough *2021-10-27, version 43* This is nice to use and does what it does well. But the lack of important functions make it not much more than a novelty app. So why would anyone pay a monthly subscription? Sadly, it’s probably the best quick and simple 3D viewing app. ### 4/5 — Amazing app *2021-07-22, version 43* Simple to use, intuitive, and free version allows decent usage of app. So I figured I’d buy it, get some in app upgrades, and suppor devs. Then I find it’s subscription model and annually $60. Nope, not worth that much (for me). I’ll keep using free, but wish I could have just bought for $20. I like to contribute but not at that price point just to take decent screen shots of my designs on the go. ### 3/5 — Wish it had a tutorial *2021-07-14, version 43* it’s probably a really good app but This is my first time modeling and I don’t know what to do it would be amazing if it had a tutorial. ### 4/5 — works well but needs a wee bit improvement *2021-07-11, version 43* it does what it promises to do .light replacement feature would be a great improvement . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Não mostra a embalagem *2025-02-12, version 2041* Só mostra o “esqueleto” do produto Não mostra a embalagem com as cores e textos Para visualizar corretamente tenho que abrir no computador ### 1/5 — Can‘t open my files *2024-07-04, version 2041* Sorry, but as the title says, I‘m not able to open my files. Other tools have no problems. ### 1/5 — What?! *2024-06-19, version 2041* Oh my, i can't open my file?! what happen with app?!! Crack when i chose my file model ### 1/5 — Non funziona nessun formato *2022-08-30, version 2034* Provato 5 formati diversi tra quelli supportati, esportando da Alias Autodesk. Ognuno dà un diverso messaggio di errore. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open stl *2022-03-04, version 2026* I tried to open an stl file it gave me an error, also it doesn’t say in the description what files does it support, “3d model” is not a file type, be a bit more professional smh ### 1/5 — Lighting is bad *2022-02-12, version 2026* I’m not sure what the developers were thinking when they u-dated the app, but they ruined the viewports lighting by making it way too bright. My models look like they’re glowing. Change the lighting back to the way it originally was or give us the option to adjust how strong we want the lighting to be. If they do, perhaps I’ll update the review with more stars. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2021-10-09, version 43* Ich habe es nicht geschafft eine PLY Datei mit diesem Programm zu betrachten ### 1/5 — Shows only in the bottom left of my screen *2021-09-29, version 43* After one of the updates, this app no longer works correctly, it only shows in the bottom left of the screen. It’s like it’s sized for a small iPad rather than a 12” Pro. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-05-04, version 43* Why can’t people that don’t have thousands of dollars to buy the newest of phones and tablets get to CREATE things? Get good quality things? I wanna create something, not look at something someone else made ### 1/5 — HARD PASS. Avoid at all costs. *2021-04-30* This is the worse UI/UX combo I have come across in a VERY long time… a Classic moneygrabbing scheme: it demands that you upload to their servers absolutely anything you want to view - a privilege you must pay for, since their “free” plan would only allow you to upload up to 100mb worth of anything. The interface is appallingly confusing (read the tutorial - it’s hilariously confusing) and you’ll find yourself baffled in the end by how COMPLICATED someone can make the simple process of loading a file into an application to view it. *If anyone still desires to suffer through the attempt, and figure out how you can actually upload anything to their servers through the garbage they call interface, do shareware the world? It may even help them learn how to do it, because I am in serious doubt they actually do know… HARD PASS. Avoid at all costs. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-10-16, version 2041* This thing is absolutely useful. It doesn’t have multiple ads, no email bulIsh*t and that stuff. Easy, free and useful. THANKS! ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-10-15, version 2040* 100% suggest you download ### 5/5 — Très bon lecteur 3D *2022-06-29, version 2034* Très utile pour un aperçu précis des fichiers 3D, cependant la fonction “ouvrir avec” qui s’intégrait à iOS à disparu avec la mise à jour, dommage celle ci était bien pratique. Un affichage des cotes serait bienvenu et complèterait l’appli. Merci de rester gratuit ! ### 5/5 — Even more awesome ! *2022-01-31, version 2026* My favorite 3D display app ! (« Open in » is missing again, reminds me the good old times of build 32 😂). Hail to Emb3D !!! ### 5/5 — L’UNICO IN TUTTO LO STORE ! *2021-05-13, version 43* Funziona perfettamente, manca solo il supporto per i formati seguenti: .step .stp .f3d E alcuni problemi con le estensioni .stl It works perfectly, lacks only the support for these formats: .step .stp .f3d And there are also some problems with the .stl extension ### 5/5 — Background *2020-03-11, version 43* Add the possibility ti add a background like a photo from your library and it can be the best app for 3d compositing ### 5/5 — Great app so far *2019-05-20, version 33* I was looking for something to let me view the model I made in paint 3D (windows 10) on my phone. It’s a .glb file. This did it. It let me import it from an email and rendered it great. Awesome app with good iOS integration. ### 5/5 — How do you model? *2019-02-28, version 33* Hi,just asking how do you model and get a new one XD ### 5/5 — Il migliore *2018-10-17, version 33* Il migliore in assoluto. Ottimo visualizzatore, complimenti agli sviluppatori. ### 5/5 — Sensacional *2018-05-03, version 29* Vale pena baixar --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
