### 3/5 — Exporting is broken

*2026-04-23, version 1.2.7*

Great app I love the modeling and controls, but no matter which exporting option I pick, it loses all color and I can’t fix it and I’ve tried everything.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-03-12, version 1.2.7*

Can make a lotta stuff like plasticity

### 2/5 — Might be useful to some

*2025-12-25, version 1.2.7*

The program is too simple, not very intuitive to use. Too many wasted steps to create the simplest of designs. I will stick with Tinkercad.

### 2/5 — No .STL Support

*2025-10-28, version 1.2.7*

Can’t import .stl files, which makes this app useless for modifying downloaded 3d print models

### 3/5 — This is a really good app

*2025-07-30, version 1.2.7*

Only problem is that you can’t actually sculpt in it and there are limited colors to choose from


I am really surprised this isn’t a subscription based app!

### 5/5 — Fantastic modeling with primitives, and excellent integration with Minima Animator

*2025-07-09, version 1.2.7*

This app is limited, but sometimes working with a limited palette winds up enhancing the creativity necessary to get something done.  Sculptor has a number of primitives that you can assemble into a remarkable number of objects with a little work.  Getting a model from Sculptor into Animator where it can be animated is easy as can be, and creating animated scenes with original models built here is fun and quick.  

There are a few things I’d love to see added — specifically boolean operations to increase the shapes possible — but for a basic modeling and animating package, Sculptor and Animator rock!

### 3/5 — good but missing a lot

*2024-03-21, version 1.2.7*

hard to use it I would like to be able to click and drag with my fingers or stylus on screen manipulating the object by spreading my fingers or shrinking it the mechanics are confusing for me the options of the shapes are very limited and you can’t manipulate them but overall it’s all right. I would recommend giving this a shot.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-02-22, version 1.2.7*

…

### 1/5 — there is no help section

*2023-09-20, version 1.2.7*

this app says there is help section for questions, but I find nothing.  Very frustrating. I think I am going to delete this app and find another.

### 5/5 — Yo

*2023-07-28, version 1.2.7*

I lov it and it’s not bad download it now
