### 2/5 — Come on, it's for an iPad

*2012-02-18*

Why would you make a cad app that isn't set up for the iPad. Why do I need to push 1x or 2x to use it full screen. Please fix to use the retina display.

### 1/5 — Klasse App !

*2011-07-20, version 1.75*

Ich bin mit Auto Cad vertraut und habe Jahre lang als Technischer Zeichner gearbeitet. Daher nehme ich an, zu wissen, was ein CAD - Programm alles machen kann und auch sollte. Oder ?
 
Nun zur App - als erstens finde ich, dass die Nahmensgebung nicht richtig gewählt ist. "Turbo CAD" ist wohl eine bessere Bezeichnung, da man schon nach einigen Sekunden sein Handy sooo Turbomäßig gegen die nächste Wand schmettern möchte. 
Zweitens - der Programierer hat nicht einmal den leisensten Schimmer, was ein technisches Zeinungsprogramm überhaupt haben sollte. 
Drittens - ende der '80ger gab es ACAD 8 auf 3 Floppys, also nur +- 2MB groß. Also, ein gutes Programm für 2D Zeichnungen, muß nicht groß sein. 
Letztens - ich schließe mich den anderen Bewertungen an. Es geht rein garnichts ! Leider !

Daher - eine gute Abzocke !!!!!!

### 1/5 — Schlecht ohne Ende

*2011-07-10, version 1.75*

Ich habe mir diese app gekauft, weil ich ein begeisterter Fan von CAD-programmen aller Art war aber bei dieser app wurde ich sehr entäuscht. 
Die ganzen Funktionen sind enfach nur unverständlich. Man tippt einfach wütend drauf rum und wenn 
man Glück hat, findet man die richtige Funktion.
Unten hab ich die Beschreibungsbilder der App gesehen und da sieht sie sehr vielversprechend aus, aber man weiß nicht mal wie man eine waagerechte Fläche zeichnet. Entweder die Bilder unten sind vom Hersteller konstruiert oder sie sind einfach mit Photoshop nachgemalt. Jedenfalls kann man damit nur einfache Sachen wie zB. Zylinder, Quadrate und andere Eckige Formen zeichnen (ohne waagerechte Flächen). Vieleicht bin ich einfach nur zu dumm für diese app oder sie ist was für Hochbegabte. Da kann man gleich sein Geld zum Frühstück essen...
Kauft euch lieber ein richtiges CAD für den PC zB. ViaCAD oder so...

### 2/5 — Initial impression

*2011-02-14*

Okay this is my initial impression, this app isn't to bad it's a little bit to get used to, to start with but has great potential I will keep updating my thoughts on this app as I continue using it, cheers

### 1/5 — Needs work.

*2010-11-27*

This app is a great concept, and I hope that future updates are planned.  It's very primitive right now, and I think it needs to be improved.  A better tutorial would be great.  The PDF directions are incredibly confusing.  Needs snaps, and the ability to enter amounts for distance, radius etc.....

### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar

*2010-11-19, version 0*

Das Fehlen einer ausführlichen Bedienungsanleitung auf Deutsch macht das Arbeiten mit Fingercad unmöglich. Ich schaffe es nicht, einen Grundriß meines Hauses mit diesem Müll zu zeichnen. Beim Ziehen eines Rechtecks verschwindet es sofort wieder. Es ist Glückssache den selben Anfangspunkt für 2 Geraden zu treffen. 
Absoluter Mist! Finger weg von FingerCAD! -5 Sterne, wenn es möglich wäre.

### 1/5 — Update Problems

*2010-08-03*

Purchased this app and when it updated to 1.54 requiring op sys 4 it removed my copy of Fingercad after a sync.  Since im not updating for a while  please restore my old version on correct the current one to allow op sys 3.1.3

### 3/5 — Okish

*2010-07-08*

You can design layouts it's a bit tricky an the UI is a bit tricky to navigate being to save the design an open later would be extremely handy bit slow but was expected for a CAD app 
Has potential but a major update is required to make it as effective as described

### 1/5 — Riverogue

*2010-05-19*

This app is too primitive to be of any value.....

### 1/5 — Quiero mi dinero de regresoooooooooo Por favor..

*2010-05-10, version 0*

Esta aplicacion presenta muy buenas ideas y en realidad lo es puesto que esta aplicacion la puedes usar en el IPod en donde sea, y tiene muy buena presentacion, pero del Hecho a la Practica es un gran trecho.

A continuacion presento algunas desafortunadas descepciones.

1.- No puedes ver donde empieza tu linea o figura y no puedes editar las coordenadas de cada linea.
2.- No existe un manual de como puedes usar eficiente mente esta aplicacion y sacarle mayor provecho.
3.- La nueva version presenta nuevas opciones pero sin poder editar cada linea o figura de lo editado.
4.- La rotacion en 3D solo se puede hacer por medio de las herramientas pero no con los dedos y se supone que es touch.
5.- no puedes hcer transferencias a otras plataformas como AutoCAD u otra aplicacion.
6.- No puedes encontrar la pagina de internet del fabricante para buscar soporte o consejos para esta Aplicacion; pero     si puedes encontrar mas aplicaciones del fabricante.
7.- No se quien se haga responsable de como pueda encontrar o buscar mas soporte de esta aplicacion.

A todo lo mencionado anteriormente es frustrante, descepcionante y triste que no pueda encontrar soporte para esta aplicacion, inclusive en App Store, y si alguien sabe de el fabricante o el dsarrollador, por favor digame puesto que Apple no me lo dira.

Esta aplicacion presenta grandes ideas y es una gran idea, toda vez que cuando viajas, en casa o en cualquier lugar y trabajas en un proyecto y se te ocurre una solucion o idea, esta puede ser la solucion. entiendo que es muy pequeño el IPhone o Ipod pero pueden presentar diferentes menus o pantallas para cada opcion, y esto puede incrementar su potencial, y por ende esta aumentar el poder de esta aplicacion.

Y si por coincidencia el fabricante lee esta reseña, por favor siga trabajando es esta aplicacion. !! TIENE FUTURO !!
ya que las reseñas que aparecen no son muy buenas, pero no se de por rendido, empezo algo bueno pues TERMINELO.

Atentamente CTFE

### 1/5 — Useless!!

*2010-04-29*

Has no unit conversions, terrible graphics on both Iphone and IPAD no fine tuning of dimensions.  Had potential, but forgot every tool needed to be  useful.  SAVE UR MONEY!  I want mine back!  Worst APP I ever purchased, no support or instructions

### 2/5 — Missing key functionality

*2010-04-26*

Been looking for an app like this for ages.
From the screen shots, looks promising but the functionality fails to live up to expectations. Its impractical as a site tool. You cant specify the length of what you are drawing and the zoom isnt user friendly at all. Theres no save function or snaps either. Pretty much all the fundamental elements of a CAD app. There are better options. I bought SitePAD and have had much more luck with that.

### 1/5 — Beer

*2017-11-23*

My only regret today is that I bought this app instead of a beer.

### 1/5 — One word

*2015-02-11*

HORRIBLE

### 1/5 — Fingercadostrophy

*2014-08-12*

I recently purchased this app on my iPhone 4 thinking that perhaps I could sketch up drawings on site relating to an ongoing house Reno. 1. Requires larger screen to use any of functions. 2. User face too complicated. Thnks fingercad for taking my money and letting no 1 know it absolute uselessness on a iPhone

### 1/5 — Biggest waste of money

*2014-06-06*

Awful app impossible to get things to size so completely useless

### 1/5 — Worthless.

*2014-01-17*

Dont get it

### 1/5 — Useless and not intuitive

*2012-09-19*

I can't imagine that this developer has actually ever used CAD for producing a drawing. I was unable to draw a simple floor plan using the available command structure and I have used AutoCAD since 1982. If I wasn't so desperate for a functional CAD program, I wouldn't have wasted $5.99 to check it out. A complete waste!

### 1/5 — Don't buy !

*2012-09-07*

It is hard to use and not worth the price.

### 1/5 — FingerCAD

*2012-08-03*

Terrible waste, wish I could get my money back. Absolutely no instructions on how to use.

### 1/5 — Still looking for functional iPhone 3d cad

*2011-12-27*

I should have listened to the reviews..... Totally useless, horrible interface.  Even if it worked, it's hideous to work in.  We all miss Atari- doesn't mean I want a cad program to look like it.  If it's my fault that I don't know how to use it, then the app should be intuitive/explanatory to some degree.  Shouldn't be for sale.

### 1/5 — Owner of Foster Design

*2011-11-10*

Useless l have used AutoCADD, GenericCADD, Intergeaph, and Microstation for 30 years in two
Businesses and taught all three.
You can't use this software,  cannot find commands, tutorials, just all around useless!

### 5/5 — It's pretty good

*2010-05-18*

It's great but if they made it so you could make a 3D part and put it in to solid works premium then it would be perfect

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2010-04-30*

All I can say is Wow! This is the best cad app out there. Now with the 3d view, it just blows me away. 

My only wish is for a larger fonts, it's hard to see the numbers when magnified out.

Keep up the great work.

### 5/5 — It possible in french language

*2010-04-18*

French pleese merci

### 5/5 — Nice The best so far

*2010-04-18*

I do like this app it is easy to use. It has a reasonable amount of flexibility. It   Will be a five star if they make a few upgrades. Some people will give it five as it is because it is good real good. It
Only one star from great. I would like to see 2 improvments. I would like to be able to make measurements in metric and most importent imperial. Also the ability to import images and scale them. I am sure there will be many sujestions. But as long as you give me mine I'll give you .all other updates will be a steps farther into greatness. Well worth the money if you have a need this type of drawing program or like a neater look doodle. Very easy to use. Enjoy. After playing longer I gave you five stars as it is only because it is the best drawing program out there. Please don't forget my wishes. One more wish and it is total success with your app for giving so much and charging a reasonable price.

### 4/5 — Suits Me

*2012-08-26*

In a previous life I was a mine planning engineer who drafted plans using pencil, paper and drawing board. I found and learned FingerCAD when I needed to draft a simple logo composed of precisely placed lines and  a circle. It took a little exploration of the App and study (of the quick manual) to gain a working knowledge. I completed my logo within 4 hours. I rate the functionality at 4 stars and the ease of learning at 2 stars - overall 4 stars.

### 4/5 — Très complet, mais un peu confus

*2010-11-24*

Sans conteste le plus complet logiciel de CAD sur iPhone. De plus, l'éditeur est très actif et l'appli s'enrichit régulièrement à chaque mise à jour. 

Malheureusement, l'ergonomie n'a pas été travaillée, et l'empilement des nombreuses nouvelles fonctionnalités alourdit progressivement l'interface.

### 3/5 — I like it

*2016-06-18*

It's interesting to tinker with but I found myself seeking interface instruction with respects to what tool or edit button does what. Help file, tool tips, user manual, ect. .

### 3/5 — Anas

*2011-04-06*

Très bonne application, mais l'interface et très chargé espérant q'une mise à jour remédier ses petits défauts !
In French Please

### 3/5 — optimised for iPad

*2010-12-18*

It needs to be optimised for iPad.
