### 1/5 — Unusable

*2020-05-16, version 7.7.4*

This app continues to crash when I use it

### 1/5 — おいおいグリッドが10cm間隔？

*2020-04-03, version 7.7.4*

しかも10cmごとにしかスナップしない。
これでどんな図がかけるっちゅうの？

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-03-16, version 7.7.4*

Keeps crashing. Very frustrating when latest work is lost. You shouldn’t have to save every time after short progress.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-07-17, version 7.7.4*

This app crashes often and then the saved document is blank. All the work done is gone, which is very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Not stable

*2019-01-16, version 7.7.1*

The app crashes unpredictably without warning.

### 1/5 — Really, no metric?

*2018-07-22, version 7.3.6*

I assume this is American product.
How about the rest of the world?

### 1/5 — Not for me!

*2018-04-07, version 7.3.6*

Warning to all amateur wannabe designers....DO NO GET! They don't tell you until after download that they will start charging you after a months "trial" and I don't have any idea how much! I'm trying to cancel this app, but as I have no charge yet, I won't get to do that until they've tried to charge you!

### 1/5 — No support

*2018-03-02, version 7.3.6*

My previous full pro version now has no support... well done Robert. After receiving no response to my email you can receive a 1* for now. Might re evaluate if I eventually receive support but in the meanwhile I have drawings that I previously saved but can’t retrieve. Very poor show buddy!

### 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Suspect app is 5 years out of date by now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.

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

*2022-01-25, version 7.7.5*

Not stable app

### 1/5 — Crash in three minutes

*2021-06-13, version 7.7.5*

Junk.  Crashed in the first three minutes of downloading.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2021-05-04, version 7.7.5*

I downloaded the app as I was trying to come up with a few simple designs for a dog kennel I am building. The app is terrible it crashed multiple times within the first 30 minutes of using. Very hard to control the lines, the basically just settle wherever they want. I deleted the app right away.. It was nothing but a waste of time

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2021-01-30, version 7.7.5*

Most of the buttons don’t work, and keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Nope

*2021-01-15, version 7.7.5*

Tried it got frustrated, put it away tried again month later , got frustrated. Deleted app . Going to actual paper and pencil , less frustrating . Don’t get app

### 1/5 — Pretty poor

*2020-06-18, version 7.7.4*

Was excited when I looked at videos and site but unfortunately the app just doesn’t work like that, or at least it doesn’t appear to on a brand new iPad.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Best

*2021-07-02, version 7.7.5*

Best CAD app

### 5/5 — From the Developer

*2019-01-27, version 7.7.1*

This version of GraphPad is free to use and is not limited by time or the number of drawings.

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing...

*2017-06-10, version 7.3.5*

I tried this app as a quick way to do basic plans and layouts. It is very easy to learn the basics with good video tutorials. I do like it and would use it regularly BUT it crashes. Having spent a lot of time drawing and regularly saving the plan, when it crashes it loses the saved data! On my iPad Air with ios 10.2.1 it crashes too regularly to rely on the app.

### 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.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Free version is so limited that it is worthless

*2021-02-04, version 7.7.5*

The first thing I did to begin drawing was to set the scale of the drawing.  The free version limits what you can do.  I immediately closed the app and deleted.  Developers should learn that that it is better to let someone try the real deal for a few days than to make their app not work on purpose.

### 2/5 — Has potential?

*2019-04-22, version 7.7.4*

This app has potential but falls short. It’s somewhat easy to use. I still can’t figure out how to erase things though. I’m using it on an iPad Pro and it’s kind of pixelated. I wish you could zoom with a gesture and not have to go to another tab in the tools just to zoom and move. I like how the lines find where they need to be. I have not had it very long and I have read that it may start charging me. I will delete it before then because it’s not good enough to pay for. 
This blog thing pops up randomly and that’s frustrating. Not sure if it is a glitch or intentional but I don’t like it. 
If you need to make a quick schematic, it’s okay at best. Emphasis on quick, because if you work on it long enough, it will crash and what you drew will be gone forever.

### 2/5 — Idiosyncratic

*2018-05-28, version 7.3.6*

Not just that the tutorial hectors you into its way of thinking, I could live with that. But I can’t find a price. It’s clearly not free after the trial but I can’t find a cost anywhere on the web site. Some of the ideas seem quite neat and it’s quite low level so hugely flexible. But do you really want to spend the time learning how to use it to later find you can’t afford it?

### 2/5 — Crashed several times

*2017-03-28, version 7.3.5*

The app crashed several times and had no built in auto save function.  There is a manuAl save.  So I could never actually complete the drawing
