Incredible

I can view an IFC on my phone and I can check quantities of objects and loads of different tools, it’s been so helpful for my work. Highly recommend!!

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the review! I’m really pleased IFC Viewer is proving useful for your day-to-day work, especially being able to inspect models and quantities directly on your phone. Thanks again for the recommendation and for supporting the app!

Thank you for saving my project!

Hi, I rarely leave positive reviews but I felt this time I had too! This app saved my project! If it wasn't for the app and its vast tools then my project would have failed. I learnt so much from the apps unlock all tools, having so many at my disposal that I knew all my clashes, quantities and project health etc. It really did save me money and headaches before they happened! Thanks again for this! Life saver!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. I’m genuinely delighted IFC Viewer helped you catch issues and understand the model before they became costly problems. That is exactly what I want the app and the Unlock All tools to achieve — practical IFC checking without the weight and complexity of much larger BIM software. Thanks again for supporting the app, and I’m really pleased it helped your project!

Brilliant little IFC app for Mac

Really impressed with this.

I needed a straightforward way of opening and reviewing IFC files on my Mac without having to fire up much heavier software every time. For £2.99 this does the job extremely well. Models load quickly, moving around them is smooth, and it's easy to get to the information you actually need.

After using it for a while I decided to buy the Unlock All option. That was definitely the right choice for me, as the extra tools make the app much more useful for proper model checking and day-to-day BIM work. I also preferred getting everything in one purchase rather than picking features individually.

One of the biggest positives is how accessible it is. You don't need to spend ages learning the interface before you can start inspecting a model, checking properties, taking measurements or digging into the IFC data.

For anyone regularly receiving IFC models, especially those working in construction, architecture or engineering, it's a very handy app to have installed.

Excellent value for the initial £2.99, and the full unlock makes it even better.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! I’m really pleased IFC Viewer is giving you a quick, lightweight way to work with IFC models on your Mac without needing to open much heavier software. It’s also great to hear that Unlock All is proving useful for your day-to-day model checking. Feedback like this genuinely helps me understand what matters most to people using the app in real construction and BIM workflows. Thanks again for supporting IFC Viewer!

Outstanding IFC Viewer - Fast, Professional and Worth the Upgrade

Ive tried a lot of IFC Viewers over the years, and this has quickly become my go-to on MacOS. The app opens even large IFC models surprisingly quickly, navigation is smooth, and the interface is clean and easy to understand. I mainly use it for checking models before coordination meetings, reviewing consultant models, and quickly validating IFC exports without needing heavyweight BIM software. The feature that convinced me to purchase the Unlock All upgrade was having everything available in one place. Being able to inspect properties, isolate elements, review classifications, measure, section the model, and access the additional BIM tools saves a huge amount of time. It’s much cheaper than maintaining another full BIM licence just for viewing and checking models. What I also like is that the app feels like it has been built by someone who actually works with IFC files rather than just displaying them. The workflow makes sense, performance is excellent, and updates continue to add genuinely useful functionality. If you’re an architect, engineer, BIM coordinator, contractor or even a client who regularly receives IFC models, I highly recommend this app!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the fantastic review and for supporting IFC Viewer with the Unlock All upgrade! It’s great to hear that the app has become part of your regular IFC workflow, especially for model checking, coordination and validating exports. The aim has always been to provide a fast, practical IFC viewer with genuinely useful BIM tools without the overhead of a full authoring package, so your feedback really means a lot. There’s plenty more planned for future updates too. Thanks again for taking the time to leave such a detailed review and recommendation!

What an app!

Ive got this app on iOS too, but MacOS is where it’s at! Unlocking all tools has made this a 1 stop shop for all my IFC work. From other comments I can see it can be slow for large IFCs, but if your ifcs are over 500mb then you need your head shaking and not this app! Maybe they can implement a tool to reduce the size!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re delighted that IFC Viewer and Unlock All have become a one-stop workspace for your IFC work, especially on macOS. We’re continuing to improve loading performance, caching and compatibility across a wider range of IFC models. Your suggestion for a tool that identifies why an IFC is unusually large—and helps users reduce or optimise it—is an excellent one and something we’ll explore carefully. Thank you for supporting the app and taking the time to share such useful feedback!
