So I’ve been using this app on my school computer this year and I just found out that this was an actual app. There are some things that I would like to talk about. So far, the app has been great and it’s amazing, it helps me draw poses—which I assume is what it’s meant to be used for—and it’s really easy. So in general, the app is really good and helpful. But—this is something in many apps for posing and drawing—I wish that we would be able to change the height and have weight added, sort of? The proportions are great, but what if I have a character that’s an adult and they’re really short? I also honestly think that certain clothing would be a better addition because I find that drawing clothes is hard. Maybe if a skirt is added, people can choose the type and length of it to their preference. Maybe add jeans. A small but understandable variety of shoes that can have color. Hair accessories—maybe. Dresses, shirts. All of those would be a perfect thing to add. In general, I’d say this app is great for beginners. ### 2/5 — Hard to use if I’m honest *2026-05-03, version 1.1.12* Almost everything is locked behind a pay service, the buttons are hard to click, clipping is super hard, etc ### 2/5 — You have to pay for alot of stuff *2026-05-03* I like the app its helpful BUT WHY TF DO YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING GOD FORBID A GIRL JUST WANTS TO DRAW but 2 stars for how helpful it is ### 4/5 — A Really Good Tool (Please Read) *2026-04-18, version 1.1.12* The following topics will be in brackets; [Having Lagging Issues?] [My Review] [Another Posing App] [Good Youtube Art Channels] [Having Lagging Issues?]; When I first got the app a minute ago, I noticed that there was some major lag. For anyone having this same issue, open the setting tab at the top right in the app (gear icon). When the tab is opened scroll down and look for “hard shadows” turn that on and it will reduce the lag a lot. Also if you want to, disable the outline filter and that will also reduce lag. As for other issues as someone pointed out with one of the dot colors for posing joints taking up the whole screen space, I haven’t encountered that yet. [My Review]; As a traditional artist and new-ish digital artist (not doing a I garbage), I think this app is great. One thing I really like is that you can change your FOV and basically learn to draw foreshortening and other perspectives. Where I currently am in my art journey is trying to learn (or re-learn) how to draw anime style or anime like characters, perspective, etc. Even though I just downloaded the app, I think it’ll help me out a lot, especially when I’m having difficulty with perspective. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the posing mechanics. Although it is advanced and highly possible, it is difficult to smoothly pose a figure with joint dots covering the figure, and the X,Y,Z positioning system. (Colored lines representing X,Y,Z). Now it isn’t bad, and I am happy it’s there’s no monthly subscription other than a “pay for the full app” if you wanted it, it’s not required or forced on you. Cause Magic poser has subscription unlike this app. Anyway I think the app is really good. It just needs an update on the posing mechanics. [Another Posing App]; Another posing app I use that’s really good, with no subscription, just a “buy the full app” kind of thing if you wanted the whole app, is a posing app called “Poseit”. It’s pretty underrated like this app and is about as good or a bit better than this app. The only thing it doesn’t have is the FOV, I’m hoping they’ll add it soon though. The figures are also pretty possible but do have a bit of limits compared to this one. Anyway I just wanted to suggest this one if anyone is looking for another posing app. [Good YouTube Art Channels]; Draw Sessions (30 years of experience. Draws creatures, characters, scenes, thumbnails (tiny pictures), etc., been in the movie and gaming industry.) Kesh Draws (15+ years as an artist, makes comics sometimes, and teaches an art class) Shrimpy (A longtime artist, but is more of a content art creator rather than a teacher like Kesh and Draw Sessions) I may update this with more artists. Thank you reader for your time, hope you have a good day, God bless, and remember the gift of salvation is Jesus Christ is free to you and everyone -FrogHead ### 4/5 — CAN WE GET MORE BODIES *2026-04-11, version 1.1.12* I need MORE models MORE MORE MORE!!!!give them FLESH GIVE THEM FLEXIBILITY #ihnmaims mentioned ### 2/5 — Highlighting bug *2026-03-27* I loved this app but now when I manipulate the joints, it "selects" the screen causing the blue highlight effect to cover the whole screen and the copy/cut/paste buttons to appear as if you have selected text. This happens every single time I attempt to move a joint and there doesn't seem to be any kind of work around or troubleshoot that prevents it. It's made the app borderline unusable as you can't use the buttons correctly when they're highlighted and the only way to get rid of it is to restart the app. This was working fine a week ago so I'm not sure what happened. Hopefully this is fixed soon as I've been using this app for years. ### 4/5 — Size *2026-03-13, version 1.1.12* It’s a very good app I just wish there was a better way for sizing things instead of them Turing out weird and over stretched like making the head shape and hands smaller if you want things like that without it looking off? ### 2/5 — Importing *2026-03-10, version 1.1.12* I can’t import an obj. Model even though you claim the app allows users to import those types of models ### 4/5 — I don’t know how to feel *2026-03-09, version 1.1.12* So lately I’ve been trying to get on the app and use it but it has like 3 big boxes that block the entire screen with some weird symbols and none of the buttons have been working, and it sucks because this is the only app I use when I want to create a pose to draw. And I’m pretty sure it’s a bug or something like that. I’ve tried deleting the app and downloading it again but it’s STILL there and it has been 3 days. ### 2/5 — New bug making it unusable. *2026-03-06* As of today there seems to be a bug where when manipulating the joints, it "selects" the screen causing the blue highlight effect to cover the whole screen and the copy/cut/paste buttons to appear as if you have selected text. This happens every single time I attempt to move a joint and there doesn't seem to be any kind of work around or troubleshoot that prevents it. It's made the app borderline unusable as you can't use the buttons correctly when they're highlighted and the only way to get rid of it is to restart the app. This was working fine a week ago so I'm not sure what happened. Hopefully this is fixed soon as I've been using this app for years. ### 3/5 — Too laggy *2025-12-30, version 1.1.11* This is a great app for making references but it every time I move one of the body parts, it freezes for 5 seconds. ### 3/5 — I don’t like how everything is premium *2025-11-08, version 1.1.11* I already don’t like premium but every good thing I need is premium is upsetting ### 3/5 — Great for references- except… *2025-07-30, version 1.1.11* I’m currently subscribed to the app with premium features, but for some reason I can’t access any of them. ### 2/5 — Good concept, but… *2025-04-25* I love the idea, but why do we need to pay for almost everything? Just make the Anime models free and I’d definitely give this 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Probably works fine but… *2025-03-10* My one-time license key won’t work on app while it’s perfectly fine on the webapp. The app tells me it’s expired or does not exist when I know it’s not. Really aggravating cause I usually use this program a lot and being able to use it on an app would be convenient if it worked for me. ### 4/5 — 使いやすいし無料でいいと思う *2025-02-28* 「大人」「子供」のように、ざっくりとした体格とか変えられるのに無料なのが凄い。 2時間くらい触っただけだけど、他の3Dモデルのアプリより使いやすいと思った。 ただ保存したモデルがどこに行ったのかが分からない…誤操作でモデルを削除してしまったら戻せなくなって、ゼロから作る羽目になった。そもそも保存できたのかも怪しい。保存ボタンは信用せず、こまめにスクショ撮ったりした方がいいと感じた。 無料でここまでできるのはポイント高いと思う。今のところ広告が出てくるとかもないし使っててストレスが少なかった。 ### 4/5 — Bad thumb mechanics *2025-02-21, version 1.1.11* Great app but the thumbs have three joints???? ### 4/5 — Good but *2025-02-02, version 1.1.11* Please make it optional for us to use xyz and move freely! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — good app but didnt recieve upgrade *2025-07-02, version 1.1.11* i bought an upgrade and instead of just giving me what i payed for it asks for a license key, no ‘license key’ is to be found anywhere, ive been looking and stressing for ages, nothing to be found good app if you use it for free, dont pay for anything ### 1/5 — way too expensive *2025-06-15, version 1.1.11* so sick of everything asking for subscriptions these days. 12 dollars a month is way too much for a subscription anyway and the one time payment is also way too much. id be more willing if the sub was like 3 dollars a month or if the one time payment was 25 max. as it is right now its just not worth it. a shame since this poser has the best ui yet ### 1/5 — I’m sorry but the ONE thing that should not be paywalled is the ability to save a pose *2025-04-07* All I am asking is the ability to save ONE pose. If you want to paywall the ability to save multiple poses, that’s fine. I can see why you would do that. But my ADHD self cannot sit down and just make the pose that I want to draw in one go. I can’t imprison myself like that lol. Otherwise, it’s a good app. But the way it is now gives me more incentive to just delete it and use a similar one than pay for the subscription. ### 1/5 — ☠️ *2025-03-11, version 1.1.11* Each time I restart the scene it gives me a female figure, when I only want a male one.I can’t get rid of the female figure . ### 1/5 — Idiot bad *2024-12-22, version 1.1.11* Bad idiot ### 1/5 — Do not get!! *2024-06-19, version 1.1.11* I got it but it needs you to get the pro version to do anything! I cannot do any cool props because of this and the characters that I need to possess for are all on pro. I would not get this if you need a model! Please use something else!!! Unless you use pro, you do not get all the poses I thought would come free with the app, such as anime models and real-life models. You only have one type of model, with adult, teen, tween, and kid models. ### 1/5 — Insanely difficult to use *2024-01-10* I downloaded this app, and intended to make a simple sitting pose. But no, because the screen is so overly crowded and you can’t select one of the models joint control things and move it without all the other controls getting in the way and having those respond instead of the intended control. Deleted it two minutes after downloading it because of how frustrating it was to use. ### 1/5 — Not usable *2023-05-22* Basically just the web tool. As soon as you enter you get spammed to buy the pro version. The banner is also placed over the top tools and doesn’t disappear, so working with the app is not given. Such a good idea with a terrible experience. ### 1/5 — Werbung kann nicht geschlossen werden und macht Bedienung unmöglich *2023-05-10* Die angezeigte Werbung verschwindet nicht und überdeckt das Bedienungsfeld!!! ### 1/5 — Why doesn’t this app have an option to move joints?! *2023-04-08, version 1.1.11* This app would be perfect if it weren’t for the fact that I can only rotate joints not more them forward or backward. Can you please add that feature? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 無料でも全然良い *2026-08-30* 家具などは有料ですが、球体や正方形などは無料で使えます！それだけでも全然使いやすくていいです✨️ もちろん人間体もいろいろ使えます！ ただしマネキンのような関節が見えるやつしか使えないのでそこは要注意です⚠️ ### 5/5 — really fun! *2025-11-29, version 1.1.11* thankyou, was about to quit the second i downloaded it but then got a grip and learnt pretty quick now i have 7 art reference poses in a day! :) ### 5/5 — pretty awesome *2025-11-21, version 1.1.11* as an artist who struggles with poses and full body drawings, this app is PERFECT! its easy to use, and really helps me with my art!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-07-29* I use this to practice with forshorting drawings and it helps a lot. I appreciate that it doesn’t to buy and no ads while working. I do advise an alternative for using the special attributes. Is it possible for watching ads for to be able to use them for a day? ### 5/5 — Really good *2025-04-16, version 1.1.11* To be honest i like this a lot more than most other of these apps, gets straight to the point and is so easy to figure out and use and i don’t have limits on moving joints which allows for more dynamic poses, as well not needing to upgrade to pro for silly things like adding another character, thanks for this :) ### 5/5 — Life Changing *2025-03-31* Ok the title I put is a bit cheesy. But here’s the thing. I can’t draw people, only outfit and stuff. So when I found this, it made things so much easier for me. It’s perfect and easy to use. I also sent it to a friend of mine who does draw, and they love it too. ### 5/5 — Insanely helpful tool *2025-02-25, version 1.1.11* Thank you so much to the developer. This app has helped me so much with finding poses for my characters!! ### 5/5 — Probably the best on the app store! *2024-11-25, version 1.1.11* 😊 ### 5/5 — Great, wish it was more affordable *2024-07-15* Really useful tool, it really helps with planning drawings. It can be overwhelming for new users, but I highly recommend sticking with it. I wish there were more options on what to pay for so I don’t pay for a bunch of things I won’t use. Really just want the realistic models, would be great if there was a way to purchase specific things. ### 5/5 — Plz *2024-07-07* Plz Make Murder drone Female And Male And Worker drones also you can change their eye their eyecolour their helmet and also their eyes and mouth or you can change it with no eyes and no mouth --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
