User reviews

Very hard to use

At the basis, this app is well designed compared others on the app store. Drafting is quick and easy. However, it needs some updates. In the iPad 2020, the properties panels are blank and cannot be modified. The line for a W load coincides with the member so it is very hard to select it without selecting the member instead. The app crashes randomly with no error message. When I change the force, it always shows 1kN. Cannot add nodes inside a member.

In conclusion, it has great potential for drafting quickly but now it is unusable.
