### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-12-23*

Works well

### 1/5 — Really Useless

*2023-03-23*

Will not do anything at all until you create a Glovious account. Opening Sketchup files strips off features like dimensions. Large sample files do not display well and have a laggy interface. I just wanted to look at my Sketchup files, but this is useless for that.

### 2/5 — Way too expensive

*2022-02-24*

Was looking to measure a file. Any useful functions like this require a $19/month subscription. A couple measurements is not worth that much. Maybe would’ve payed a couple dollars, but I’d rather buy myself a nice lunch with my $19 and measure on my computer later.

### 5/5 — Good App

*2021-11-07*

I don’t usually write reviews but I decided to give this app a try even after reading all the bad reviews. It worked well for importing files from my phone to look at in the app. It gives you the option to upgrade your plan but the free plan works fine.

### 5/5 — I pad

*2020-03-19*

It dosen't run on the ipad

### 1/5 — Unable to Register

*2020-02-16*

Permanent “passwords do not match” error message suggests this app is trying to skim Dropbox or Google details. Avoid.

### 5/5 — Manager

*2018-07-11*

Excellent cad viewer on mobile platform

### 1/5 — Bogus

*2017-02-28*

Bogus do nothing app

### 1/5 — Not Free

*2015-04-09*

It's not obvious when you download this app that it is not free. Pay apps are fine, but should not hide that they cost money.

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2013-06-06, version 3.2*

What an absolute con - a paid app.... which you can only actually use by subscribing further, an absolute joke!!  I can only describe as fraud.... DO NOT BUY
