### 3/5 — Why not allow importing?

*2025-09-10, version 1.15.2*

This app is great on Mac and PC. I only wish it would allow me to open .gox files on my iPad. It would make my workflow so much smoother but you can only export. Come on guys, please get it together and allow importing. It’s not hard.

### 3/5 — Easy to use but needs import features & save features

*2025-05-04, version 0.14.1*

The easiest to use Voxel app. But the way they do the new file/save option is horrible. I don't understand why it's not the typical easy way to save and create files. I also wish it had an image import feature. Some of the stuff like selecting with boxes and trying to move things doesn't work. This app is so close to being 5/5 stars but is just lacking a few simple things.

### 4/5 — Easy to use but needs import features

*2025-05-01*

The easiest to use Voxel app. I just wish it had an image import feature.

### 3/5 — Great App

*2024-10-20, version 0.14.1*

Great app but does not recognise “use pen for drawing” setting on iPad Pro 12.9’” with iOS 18!
When using fingers to move and zoom etc, if you catch the canvas area it will draw, you spend more time deleting finger touch drawing!
Good price and fun app let down by interface or the fact draws with anything that touches the canvas area.
Should be able to set or work with iPad setting to draw only with pen and/or when pen touching the screen.
Perhaps you have to have the accuracy of a ‘sharpshooter’?

### 3/5 — Application prometteuse

*2024-07-29*

Fluide, simple, mais pas de gestion de gestes (tourner avec un doigt, undo, redo, etc) ce qui est très déroutant sur iPad. Suffisamment pour abandonner son utilisation.

### 4/5 — Wish that I could import that VO X files

*2023-12-09, version 0.10.8*

This application would be amazing if you could import your work from other places and do the finish work here

### 4/5 — Love it

*2022-05-25, version 0.10.5*

You can create anything even with Goxel’s own MAGICAVOXEL 
AWESOMEEEEEEEEE

### 4/5 — Все ок но…

*2022-02-01*

Не сохраняется, пишет про интернет хотя он есть :(

### 3/5 — Софтина великолепная

*2021-11-12*

Софтина великолепная! Язык goxcf - вообще 🔥

Жизнь омрачает только отсутсвие обновлений, и при семейной покупке на втором устройстве виснет наглухо…

Семейная покупка - заявлена - но не работает((

Хотелось бы чтобы поправили. Но, возможно, софтинка больше не поддерживается(((

### 3/5 — The save function kills the zen like state

*2021-11-07, version 0.10.5*

Such a nice app. Too bad its impossible to tell when you are saving something correctly. I've lost major progress twice because SAVE apparently doesn't mean SAVE

### 4/5 — Cool App, is it still being worked on?

*2021-06-19, version 0.10.5*

I’ll write my full review afterwards. I was just curious whether or not this app still has support. I just found it recently but I there hasn’t been an update for a year.

Everything is easy to use and looks good while you are editing things. I was surprised that I could make the scene bigger/by how much bigger. 

My only gripe so far is you can’t undo via two finger tap. I think a lot of apps drilled that into me.

### 4/5 — Really cool to use

*2021-03-02, version 0.10.5*

It’s really cool that I use it a lot for making models for my scripting,programming by making models to make my game better I recommend adding photos because that would be very cool and helpful.I support you

### 5/5 — Great and fluid experience

*2021-01-25*

This app works like a charm. In combination with the Apple Pencil, it is such a joy creating voxel art on the iPad. 

One thing I am missing: could you please add undo with two-finger-tab? Thank you.

### 5/5 — It is even rendering on iPad!

*2020-12-17*

Do I have to say more? Please add a pencil sensitivity feature in future updates that is connected to the brush size :) great job

### 1/5 — Will not export

*2024-04-29, version 0.14.0*

Trying to export the model doesn’t work - I wanted it as an obj but none of the available file types work. The export confirmation window pops up and says “export complete”, but there is no trace of a local file anywhere on my iPad or iCloud (the app didn’t even create a local folder on my iPad). The export supposedly gives me the option to email, but says “cannot send email” if I actually click the email button.

Just fine for saving still images to your gallery, but forget trying to export the actual model. Already tried deleting and reinstalling the app with no luck.

### 1/5 — Вылетает

*2021-08-24*

Как захожу сразу же вылетает. Исправьте

### 1/5 — Lost My Work!

*2021-03-01, version 0.10.5*

I paid for the full version. Spent hours working on a piece and was saving throughout the process multiple times. I duplicated the piece to ensure I had a backup of it and when I did that it reverted back to a previous version and lost all my work! 

It looked like it wasn’t actually saving after the initial save even though I tapped save multiple times.   

The app doesn’t save any changes after the 1st save even if you tap save many times throughout your process.

Not happy... especially since I paid for the full version!

### 1/5 — Export For 449 rubles

*2020-12-18*

Additional stars and for their export to the app store costs 449 rubles! no it is difficult to forgive such money for export i would understand if the functions were blocked but no it is export 1 star

### 1/5 — Application crashed

*2020-02-14*

I have purchased this app for my iPad The application got crashed while I was working on a file. it’s not opening right now. I don’t want to lose any of my work done within the app.

### 1/5 — Lost all of my work

*2019-08-08, version 0.10.4*

The developer added now makes your pay 7 dollars if you want to save anything. This also means that all the work your previously had you cannot access without paying. I rate this 5 stars before but deleted that review and replaced it with this. I understand you have to make money but just add some ads into it. Or at least give people who had this app before the ability to access there old stuff. It's also sad that the pc versions are free.

### 1/5 — Just crashes when I try to open it

*2019-07-01, version 0.9.0*

That’s all there is to say. It does work, it’s pointless.

### 2/5 — UI悪し

*2021-07-03*

レイヤーの扱い方が洗練されて居らず、扱いづらい。
数珠繋ぎにドットを打たないと整形出来無いアプリが大半だったので、此方(こちら)のアプリに期待して触ってはみた物の、どの項目が何の機能を有して居るのかの案内も無く『何かを創造してみようか？』と思う以前に面倒に成り止めてしまう。
『Q-BLOCK』と比較すると解りやすさ、扱い易さも此方が圧倒的に劣る、利用者が殆ど居無いのにも頷けた。

### 2/5 — Caro

*2021-06-22*

Muy caro.
No se puede guardar sin pagar.

### 2/5 — Export problems

*2020-03-05*

I've paid to be able to export what i make but it's just local in the app, not in my gallery. I can only download my work as an image, but i wanna export it as a magica voxel or others, and send them with my email, but the app says that there is an error. I hope you can solve this problem because i did not pay for an app that doesn't work.

When you solve this, i will be able to put 5 stars.

### 5/5 — 希望添加的功能

*2026-05-20*

1  把材质功能改一改 做个叠色的图层模式功能 类似ps，
2 UI界面太散 需要整合，便于上手
3 灯光缺少辉光功能 或者直接添加灯光
4希望世界场景里的模型做成自由旋转
5 其次 雾场 动画功能

### 5/5 — Die Beste Voxel Editor

*2025-04-03*

My favorite app…

### 5/5 — Super!

*2024-09-14*

Die App funktioniert hervorragend! Die App in Kombination mit dem Apple Pencil ist ein echtes Vergnügen. In meiner ersten Rezension hatte ich die mangelhaften Export-Optionen bemängelt. Der Entwickler hat darauf reagiert und deutliche Verbesserungen vorgenommen. Jetzt sind alle Dateien problemlos zugänglich. Ich kann die App uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

**Developer response:** Thanks for letting me know, I’ll make an update to fix that as soon as possible!

### 5/5 — Incredible value and impressive features

*2024-05-05, version 0.14.0*

The ability to use Goxel with an Apple Pencil is a game changer, and it pretty much has feature parity with the desktop version!

### 5/5 — Amazing.

*2022-11-22, version 0.10.8*

Although I used the procedural tool- and thought it added a layer of ability for generation; it was difficult to input the code. 

Other than that- a gorgeous well rounded app that shall perform!

### 5/5 — How much does the in app purchase cost?

*2022-03-04, version 0.10.5*

I just got this I’ll and I really love it, but I can’t save my design because I need to pay. I was wondering how much do you need to pay to unlock the full version and save your progress??

### 5/5 — Its actaully good

*2022-01-31, version 0.10.5*

I was wrong lol

### 5/5 — Sus

*2021-11-22, version 0.10.5*

This app is sus

### 5/5 — Ludique bien pensé

*2021-10-06*

L’application est simple et bien pensée , le workflow un peu austère mais pas le rendu.
De bonnes idées et de bons outils.
Je regrette le manque de sous-calques, de cotes (outils de mesure) ou encore l’impossibilité d’importer des images (qui pourraient aider comme des plans ou modèles 2D ), car la possibilité de faire une grande scène qui est un point fort de l’app donnerait envie de faire des choses plus fines et moins Minecraft…..
Je trouve le prix justifié

### 5/5 — Bueno para diseñar

*2021-02-26*

Lo uso para a ser bases de animaciónes y es bastante bueno además me va muy fluido
Las texturas son un poco planas pero como base está muy bien me gustaría que se pudiera guardar con la cuenta estandar 
Pero en general me encanta la App recomendable
