### 2/5 — التطبيق ممتاز ولكن

*2025-09-11, version 4.10*

Why is the app space increasing so high!?

From 9 to 600 MB 🤔
Please clarify !!!

### 4/5 — Cool

*2022-08-21*

Je désespérais de trouver une bonne vieille planche à dessin
Et bien ça y est j’ai trouvé  !!! 
Simple efficace,…. Y a  toujours mieux mais pour le prix !!!
le rapport qualité  prix est largement en faveur de l’acheteur

### 4/5 — 使っています。

*2021-05-06*

数種類のcadを使ってみましたが、結局これを使っています。

### 5/5 — Fabuleux sur mon iPad Pro.

*2019-04-20, version 2.062*

Merci

### 4/5 — Pas mal

*2019-04-11*

Manque les extensions de fichiers non lisible comme le dwg par exemple

### 5/5 — Awesome with a learning curve...

*2019-01-30, version 2.062*

It's not your usual iOS app interface. You have to take the time to poke around in the settings and read the help files. Once you do, you'll find that this app is an outstanding drawing / drafting app. I'm using it for everything that requires drawing or illustration and it gets the job done.

The developers have a comprehensive user manual on their website. Download it! You get out of it what you put in to it. Invest the time to learn the interface and you won't be disappointed.

### 5/5 — iPocket Draw

*2018-11-13, version 2.062*

I have used Auto Cad and other Cads for over 20 years!
For small/medium sized construction projects
IPocket draw gives me all I need!
The mind boggling advantage is it a 50 times cheaper than ACad
And 
10 is times easier to use! Especially with an iPad Pro with the active pen
And
You can draw wherever you may be, in the office, on the couch, in bed on even on the beach; anywhere!
I love it!

### 5/5 — Top !

*2018-02-14, version 2.06*

Voilà l’application que je cherchais. Nombreuses possibilités de création, une ergonomie de travail simple et claire. Des tutoriels intéressants pour commencer. Il en faudrait davantage. Continuez à améliorer l’application !

### 4/5 — Super app

*2017-01-05*

Je suis architecte. Cet app me permet de travailler en déplacement.Les fonctions de dessin sont efficaces. Les habitués des logiciels cao/dao ne seront pas perdus.
J'espère de nouvelles fonctions dans le futur.

### 4/5 — Logique

*2016-11-21, version 1.992*

Enfin un logiciel qui travaille dans la logique 
Dommage on ne sais pas faire un cercle d après un centre, et la cotation est difficile à effectuer.

### 5/5 — Ottima app,

*2016-02-02, version 1.981*

costantemente aggiornata, fra le tante del genere è la migliore (le ho provate praticamente tutte). Inoltre è ben supportata: se scrivete all'autore dando suggerimenti, state sicuri che vi risponderà e prima o poi ve li troverete implementati nell'app.
Ottima per fare rilievi da trasferire poi su computer o per semplici disegni quando non si ha il PC a portata di mano. 
(Usata su iPhone dal 3Gs, al 6s e su iPad->iPad Air)
È da migliorare l'importazione dei dxf (soprattutto di grandi dimensioni) mentre è assente l'importazione da dwg. L'integrazione di servizi cloud (iCloud, dropbox,...) è supportata con la funzione 'Apri in...'. Da acquistare sicuramente (un must che non ha corrispettivi di usabilità su altre piattaforme smartphone/tablet)

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2015-05-15, version 1.963*

It's exactly what I was looking for and intuitive to use.  I wanted to be able to grab images of charts online and import into a program where I can draw support lines and also duplicate lines I drew.  This works.  

I have only done this little bit with it but it's what I needed.

### 4/5 — Response to HowieRoark

*2014-06-22, version 1.951*

HowieRoark,

All informations to contact me are in the About screen (button i).
You have my e-mail and a link to a forum where you can ask questions on iPocket Draw and RealCADD.
Before writing your review, you don’t have made many search to find me.

Send an email to me to explain what happened, please.
But I don’t have had other user with this kind of problem.

Thanks.

Eric

### 4/5 — E-rick

*2014-04-03, version 1.940*

It's not a cheap apps and using It feels like the basic Autocad in terms of basic drawing tools and what these tools does. My wish lists would be to improve on champering, increased accuracy in snaps to mid, end, intersections. Saving it to other formats (jpg etc.) should allow compression in aspect ratio to give the right proportion once it's re written to other formats. This app is quite powerful for iPad and I hope you can add more functions to the menu similar to technical drawings or designs. Please keep it up.

### 2/5 — Good app until it drops out losing most of the current drawing!

*2013-12-17, version 1.931*

Good app, however every time I've used the app for longer than 30-40mins it drops out closing the app thus losing the majority of the drawing you are working on and as you can imagine this is unbelievably frustrating!!! Bearing in mind the £6.99 I paid for the app the less I expect is a stable app! Please sort this out.

### 3/5 — CAUTION - Corruption Issue

*2013-11-20, version 1.931*

Entire day of work lost due to file saving/opening BUG... PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE... What was a welcome and enjoyable app experience, instantly became an empty white screen that crashes the application with any attempt to move the work area... Complete loss of confidence in this app, and a $12 evening of frustration, take my money, buy a pizza, hunker down and fix it ;(

### 1/5 — Non comprate, app inutile

*2025-06-06, version 3.66*

Applicazione dimenticata, non più supportata con infiniti bug. Non serve assolutamente a nulla e in caso non foste soddisfatti, non viene rimborsata.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-11-01, version 3.00*

Very glitchy and more complicated than I needed to be!  I want my money back

### 1/5 — Dissapointed

*2014-06-05, version 1.950*

During the last update (done June 4th 2014) our program completely bugged out we cannot create a new layer without the progam closing out. 
Very disatisfying and unless the bug is fixed we will be deleting and not recomending to others in our field of work

### 1/5 — Update 1.95 Broke This App

*2014-06-05, version 1.950*

Now, all of the drawing tools produce screen wide dark regions, then images vanish. Completely broken!

If the developer provided contact information within the app or on the website, I'd be letting him know directly instead of submitting this review. And this has always been the problem with iPocket Draw - the developer is very "hands off" when it comes to support, instructions, and the like - a man of few words.

With adequate support & procedural instructions, this could be the best vector drawing app in the App Store (after this latest bug is fixed, of course)!

### 1/5 — Not very functional, certainly not this version

*2012-09-14, version 1.901*

Grid does not work after forum fix.  Current version filled with lots of glitches.

### 1/5 — Can't Open - Won't Start

*2011-07-22, version 1.60*

Please fix ASAP. Won't start.

### 1/5 — L'app non funziona

*2011-07-21, version 1.60*

Dopo un mese di funzionamento, circa, l'app non si apre e non funziona sull'iPad2…. spero che gli sviluppatori possano correggere al più presto il bug perché così è inservibile.

### 1/5 — Crap!

*2011-07-08, version 1.60*

First got it it was a 2or3 star app.  Idesign is way better and its only like 2 bucks!  With new updates that supposedly fix bugs, it wont even open.  Really?  How does apple let in crappy, overpriced, clearly inferior apps like this, but they wont let in GrooveShark--the best potential app everrr!--

### 1/5 — Complete Waste

*2011-04-04, version 1.50*

This app is a complete waste on money. It has too many glitches and the developer does not now anything about CAD's. I think he made it to work with his mentally challenged mind and not the average person. Waste of time and money. If you don't believe me then buy it. I know I am out of $10.00. I could give it somebody that needs to eat instead and would of felt better.

### 1/5 — Not yet stable

*2011-03-15, version 1.50*

For the money I expected an app that did not continually crash, lose data and was fragile at best. This could be a good technical drawing app but there is a lot of work to be done first. Please set to work on an update asap

### 5/5 — A pleasure to use

*2026-05-01, version 4.30*

I do a lot of geometric type drawings and I have used this app for years now.  It's one of those apps the iPad was made for.

### 5/5 — ❤️‍🔥Engineering application par excellence ❤️‍🔥

*2025-12-19, version 4.14*

The application is very perfect, and I am surprised by the accuracy of the development of this application, I hope that you will be properly appreciated by users, I have benefited a lot from this application, thank you ❤️‍🔥

A very simple problem is when using Parallels tool when the line is within the layer, it happens to crash the application.

I hope you develop engineering applications for structural civil engineering but as accurately as the accuracy of this application.

Thank you for your understanding and I wish you success in the future 🫶🏻

### 5/5 — Help with “snap to grid”

*2025-10-24*

I’ve spent a good half hour to simply “try” to snap a simple line or point of a line to grid. I’ve selected “snap to grid” icon, I’ve played with several different resolutions (including 1 pixel), the program would just avoid the grid as if I had chosen some “avoid grid” option, especially intersection lines of grid.
Also, when I choose the Angle button between two lines with one common point, it displays the number as a text but I cannot type a different value of an angle there which would change the actual angle of the lines on the drawing.  I guess the same is valid for a simple length of a line.
Apart from that this looks like a very nice program.

**Developer response:** Bonjour,

I made some videos to teach how iPocket Draw works.
You can the the beging of this one :
https://youtu.be/0kEhW3vSQUc
to see how to "take" an object on one of its ends and move it where you want.
To modify the angle of a line (or other datas), you must display the edit pallet.
See this manual made by an user :

or read the forum :

Thanks.
Cordialement.

### 5/5 — Keeps getting better

*2023-12-11, version 3.61*

I love drawing with this app it is so easy to use.  It’s one of those apps you feel the iPad was built for.  Five stars every time.

### 5/5 — Excellent !

*2023-05-21*

Très bonne application.

### 5/5 — Awesome drawing program, works great with pencil

*2021-08-24, version 3.11*

This is a great drafting program to make great scaled drawings. The instructions are OK but if you keep playing with it you can find the function you are looking for. 
It is good for someone that has previous CAD experience, it is difficult for someone with no experience. 
If are looking for an iPad CAD program and you have previous CAD experience, like to make accurate 2D drawings on the go and you are crafty and persistent then THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU. 

Highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for!

*2021-01-30, version 3.02*

I worked with AutoSketch on my PC. This app is the perfect transition to my IPad Pro. Easy to get used to the interface and PDF export or print are the options I need. Have not found one function which I used on my old AutoSketch missing. This app has it all and I can straight away make my drawings without having to learn a drawing program with thousands of complicated functions I will never use for the relative simple work I do with it.  Price is very much worth it.

### 5/5 — Un CAD simple d’utilisation

*2020-10-15, version 3.00*

Merci

### 5/5 — One of Top iPad Pro Apps

*2020-07-26, version 3.00*

This app has a steep learning curve, but once you spend time with it you find how great the functionality is. For example, grabbing objects a specific way allows you to snap them in alignment against other objects and using the dimension labeling tool is super handy but unique in the way it works. If you need to draw a project to scale, this is an excellent app. In fact, I now consider this one of the top 10 best apps for serious computing on the iPad Pro and using the Apple Pencil 2. The price point is another factor that swayed me in this direction as a competitive offering had a horrible subscription model which this one thankfully avoids.

### 5/5 — Perfect for on site measure drawings

*2020-01-21, version 2.071*

I bought this app to use when I do site measures. I don’t need it to be accurate, just to be able to draw the room with all its. Features. It’s really easy to add new symbols and they can be adapted easily in use.
I really recommend this app for anyone who just needs to draw a layout quickly.
I hope there will be more updates to come.
