### 1/5 — Crashed all the time

*2024-10-24, version 7.7.5*

This app was amazing for a short time, everything was fine for the learning part(about 10 minutes) after trying to do my first drawing and almost done ,it crashed without saving, so I try it again to redo the same drawing and crash again, I thought my iPad or the app needed an update, everything was fine so I restarted the iPad , and started to redo for the third time the same drawing and crashed again after less than 4 minutes (brand new IPAD from Apple Store not a counterfeit)

### 1/5 — IPAD OS17 broke the app

*2023-09-25, version 7.7.5*

Apple ipad M1 8gb ram ios17

As a former cad/cam user this app looked interesting,
Unfortunately it works not at all on the new ipad
Suspect app is 5 years out of date by now

### 1/5 — Invisible dimensions

*2023-09-22, version 7.7.5*

How are you suppose to draw a line at a specific dimension, when the dimensions are not displayed? (White text on a white field). Unusable!

### 1/5 — Need to be able to erase

*2023-07-04, version 7.7.5*

Very hard to erase a line.  Double tapping is supposed to erase a line.  Well, I wind up with a bunch of extra tiny lines where I am double tapping.  Im considering the app unusable.

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2022-07-08, version 7.7.5*

Very buggy program.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.  Sometimes you have to reboot IPad just to get control of the program. Users manual does not display correctly and therefore is not usable.  Many things shown in the tutorial videos do not work. Can not figure out to change text color in length and angle windows. White on white is not visible.  This could be a great APP but it needs work.

### 1/5 — Not stable. Hanged and close app suddenly

*2022-01-25, version 7.7.5*

Not stable app

### 5/5 — Nifty Software

*2021-10-22, version 7.7.5*

Being used to Autocad, I was looking for something that is 'an easy to use touch'. There are some features that are not quite obvious, however, an email to the developer solved the problem. For a quick sketch, this app is what I was looking for.

### 2/5 — Design errors

*2021-10-11, version 7.7.5*

They need to check their work. Scale while in feet, should allow you to set 12 increments inside of the other, not 1/10 of a foot.
Second, when I edit the length to inches (“) it goes to feet (‘).
Simple stupid fixes could make this a better app.

### 5/5 — Best

*2021-07-02, version 7.7.5*

Best CAD app

### 1/5 — Crash in three minutes

*2021-06-13, version 7.7.5*

Junk.  Crashed in the first three minutes of downloading.
