Losing your work in the middle of rigging is infuriating and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Two things would help us track it down: which step it dies on (placing the markers, binding the skin, or saving the result), and roughly how heavy your model is. Worth ruling out first is the weight of the model itself. Rigging is the heaviest thing Naomi does on the device, and you are running it on a phone or a tablet, not a workstation. A mesh built for desktop, with a very high polygon count or several large textures, can push iOS over its memory limit exactly at the bind step, while a lighter version of the same model goes through without trouble. If you have a decimated or lower resolution version to test with, that is the fastest way to find out whether that is what you are hitting. In the meantime, save before you start the bind. There is no autosave during rigging, so a crash really does cost you everything since your last save. That is on us, not on you. If you can tell us the model, the step and your device, we will chase it down properly. Reports like yours are the ones that actually get bugs fixed. Best regards, team Naomi ### 4/5 — Problem *2026-08-18* Naomi Animation Review I really want to like Naomi Animation, but I’m having a very frustrating problem with the Camera Node. The guide/line overlays will disappear in the normal viewport, but when I go into the Camera Node, they are still there, and I cannot figure out how to remove them. I’ve tried different settings, restarting the app, and looking through tutorials, but nothing has fixed it. I also pay for Naomi Premium, so I would really appreciate some support with this. Naomi developers, please reply to this review or contact me with instructions so we can fix this problem. I’m happy to explain exactly what is happening or provide screenshots. I really want to keep using the app, but I need help getting the Camera Node to work properly. **Developer response:** Hi José, thank you for a genuinely useful report, and for sticking with it. Here is what is happening and how to get rid of them. Overlay visibility in Naomi is per view, not global. Each viewport keeps its own setting, so hiding the guides in the main viewport does not carry over to the Camera Node, which has its own. That is why they keep coming back when you go in there. To clear them inside the Camera Node: make sure nothing is selected first, then open the pie menu, and the hide-effectors and hide-grid items will be there. That last detail is the reason it looked like there was no option at all, because while something is selected the pie menu shows selection actions instead and those two items are not among them. Deselect, open the pie, and you can switch them off for that view. If that is not what you are describing, a screenshot would settle it straight away, and it would tell us whether you mean the grid, the effector gizmos, or something else. For that, and for anything like it in future, we would really recommend joining our Discord community. Replies here are slow by design: your review and our answer both go through Apple's review before either appears, so a simple back and forth takes days. On Discord there is nothing in between. We currently answer within a day, and other members are often much faster than we are. We also agree this is more confusing than it should be. Overlays living per view is defensible, but having to deselect before the option appears is not obvious, and we have noted it. Best regards, team Naomi ### 2/5 — I don’t really like it. *2026-08-13* Hi, I just got this app and I’m trying to generate an image because sketchfab won’t work! And then I try to do it, I need to buy “credits.” Dude. Why can’t I just be able to generate an image WITHOUT spending money? On top of that I need credits for a rig too!?!?!?!?! Ridiculous! Anyways this is two stars. I hope you remove the credits it’s really annoying that I have to buy them **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for writing, and sorry it started off badly. Straight answer on the credits: they only apply to the AI generator. Every generation runs on an outside service that charges us real money per model, so that is not something we can hand out for free. It is not a lock we added to squeeze anyone. Two things that should get you unstuck, both free. Our rigging tools run on your device and use no credits at all, so rigging costs you nothing. And you can import your own models, which is the normal way to get characters in without touching the generator. On Sketchfab: that button just opens the Sketchfab website in your browser. It is their site, not part of Naomi, so problems on their end are not ours to fix. But if what went wrong is getting a model you downloaded there INTO Naomi, that part is on us and we will gladly walk you through it. Tell us what you are seeing on our Discord and we will help. Best regards, team Naomi ### 2/5 — Very hard to use *2026-07-03, version 1.30.0* The design of the app isn't simple at all and it feels kind of old. And everything is just complicated and unusual. I've tried so hard to like this app but it's just not good and I really hope they see this and change to be more modern and add things that we are used to seeing ### 3/5 — Rotating problem *2026-06-04, version 1.30.0* How do you rotate the nodes? ### 3/5 — Cool App! *2026-05-15, version 1.29.2* One problem though…while animating sure was easy, it took me a while to understand what each button does! Please make some kind of tutorial when you start ### 4/5 — Subscription not working *2026-05-02* I love this app, it’s really helpful, but recently, it’s been forgetting that I have a subscription, I am subscribed to it meaning that I should be able to import more models, and I have and I’ve been animating with them, but for some reason today it won’t let me import anymore. It is telling me I need to subscription, even though I already have one. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it and we’re glad you’re enjoying the app. We updated our subscription system a few versions ago, and in some cases this can cause conflicts due to outdated sessions or irregular updates. Please try using the Restore Purchase option in the subscription popup, this usually resolves the issue immediately. If the problem still persists, feel free to join our Discord and we’ll help you resolve it individually: https://discord.gg/ts9mp4FqkC Best regards, Jan ### 3/5 — It’s really good in all but the thing is that I can’t import anything so I’ll give a 3 stars *2026-04-14, version 1.29.1* ChadderBoxx Jones ### 4/5 — Amazing app! Blender support needed. *2026-04-04, version 1.28.3* I love using Naomi, all the features are easy to use and the model import system is okay, (though I wish there was a way to fix models missing textures,) though my biggest suggestion is to add Blender model import support into the app! ### 4/5 — Issues with transparency. *2026-03-23, version 1.28.2* Naomi is a wonderful 3D software, yet when I try to make objects transparent it doesn’t let me anymore. Previously I was able to, but suddenly I can’t anymore. So overall, just reporting a bug. ### 3/5 — Hard to use T_T *2026-02-12, version 1.27.0* It’s cool n all b it it’s hard to use if only there was more simpler buttons n stuff to make, animate, import, export, ect. Please, it would do me a favor. ### 3/5 — I need a tutorial how to rotate in this app *2026-01-24, version 1.27.0* Idk how to rotate, I find Prisma 3d easier to use, but it keeps crashing when I import a 2Fort map, does this support BSP files? ### 4/5 — Naomi is okay, but… *2025-12-29, version 1.27.0* Hi! Naomi is a great app. I love its features and utilities. It makes animation a smooth process overall. I’m right now curious as to why I can’t go beyond 100 frames on the free version. Is there a bug or limit causing this? Please and thank you. ### 2/5 — It was a little bit hard *2025-11-13, version 1.26.2* It was a little bit hard. It had a little bit of difficulties when I use nomad scope it’s just it’s a little bit hard. ### 2/5 — ❌Do not download❌ *2025-11-11, version 1.26.2* I really wanted to start 3D animating because I really wanted to animate some TADC stuff like gooseworx. This app? Why did I choose a 2.9 star app? Very few things I do actually like about it, but you literally have to pay like £20 to export one video which is literally maximised at 5 secs! You literally have to download premium so you can do half the stuff! The other half? You can’t even do it. Zooming? Nope. I looked at the tutorial nopeee. Looked at the reviews and a lot of other people were having trouble with zooming. I saw one where the app replied saying it was something that we were doing but trust me it wasn’t. It’s such a shame because I can’t even move the figure I want and I can’t even move to look at different angles or even put things at different angles. Naomi, please sort this out. ### 3/5 — File size stuff *2025-11-07, version 1.26.2* I am trying to upload a file that is over 160 MB, but every single time I try, it keeps crashing, is there a limit to how big it could be or can y’all fix that? ### 4/5 — 🥸 *2025-10-28, version 1.26.2* actually this really Cool software and Good render But premium version get more benefit that’s Really not for who entry lvl Animation ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-08-29, version 1.31.1* I got this app for 3D animating but it tells me to sign it cause I wanted to use a dinosaur, but it kept telling me for an email 3 times, and when I finally finished I couldn’t click continue like if it was forcing me to cancel ### 1/5 — Can’t even start *2026-08-18, version 1.31.1* If you try to make an animation without spending money there is NO models you can animate with! I never would use this even with a model 24$ for a NON REAL ITEM!!!! ### 1/5 — UNDO BUTTON *2026-08-09, version 1.31.1* There is no such thing as an undo that I want something better ### 1/5 — Get rid of the ai feature plsss *2026-08-07, version 1.31.1* No creative person cares for ai, please get rid of it 🙏 ### 1/5 — This is Bad🤬 *2026-07-23, version 1.31.1* HOW CAN YOU FORCE PEOPLE TO PAY MONEY TO EXPORT THIS IS JUST BAD THE NAVIGATION IS BAD TOO AND MUCH MUCH MORE IS BADDDD ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-07-02, version 1.30.0* Not beginner friendly at all. They don’t even give you a tutorial or anything. And also the movements are just not it. I was trying to be patient with this app because I saw people animating on it but it’s just so bad ### 1/5 — I want so bad to like it… *2026-04-28, version 1.29.1* I want so bad to like it, but so far I’ve not been able to complete rigging an asset in gltf format. I can get to the Control Rig step and the progress bar gets about halfway, stops, and dies… ### 1/5 — Garbage app using garbage AI slop *2026-03-18, version 1.28.0* It is absolutely wild to me that a creativity app is basically taking away the creativity from you by shoving AI slop in. If AI is so great then what is the purpose of this app existing? ### 1/5 — No update *2025-10-09, version 1.26.2* I’m not using this app anymore, it’s garbage ### 1/5 — Awful just awful Not good at all *2025-09-30* Was looking for an alternative that might be more convenient then jumping into blender since I’d have to use my computer vs my iPad since I use it as my main device and I have more control over a touch screen due to physical health issues Issues >no textures are transferred over >rigging doesn’t transfer over, it act like it does but you can’t move anything or rotate anything, not even a rotation sphere.. It’s unfortunate, people were acting like this app was the next step for doing 3d solely on ipad but zero basic functionality.. I wasn’t expecting blender quality at all obviously but at least something bare minimum I hope it changes one day, thankful I have at least have a laptop for blender.. yikes **Developer response:** Dear xxsuperuserxx, first of all, I would like to mention that we are a small, self-funded team of five people, and we are doing our best to support our community members and help them with their issues. Unfortunately, without constructive feedback describing what exactly is wrong and how to reproduce the issue, we are not able to do much, since we cannot simulate the mentioned scenario on our devices. Regarding textures, please make sure that your model is prepared correctly. You can use any online preview tool to double-check whether your model (whether FBX or GLB) is rendered correctly with textures. For FBX files, textures must be embedded in the file. For exports, only GLB export supports textures, while FBX export is primarily targeted at animations without materials/textures. Regarding the control rig - this is something that cannot be transferred between different animation software. A control rig is a software-specific feature. Every program (Blender, Maya, etc.) has its own internal system for control rigs, and this information cannot be saved to or loaded from FBX/GLB files. It is purely software-specific. If by “rigging” you mean mesh skinning, then, as with materials, we haven’t had reports of issues except for a few very specific cases where skinning was not transferred correctly into Naomi. I would really appreciate more specific information that could guide us to reproduce and fix your issue (if there is one), rather than a “Awful, just awful, not good at all” one-star review. If you are willing to share more details on how we can help, please reach out to us on our Discord channel. Let’s fix it together. Otherwise, I would recommend uninstalling Naomi and using another alternative app, or waiting for Blender to come to iPad, since unconstructive negative feedback doesn’t help anyone. Best regards, Jan ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing app! Blender support needed. *2026-08-31* I love using Naomi, all the features are easy to use and the model import system is okay, (though I wish there was a way to fix models missing textures,) though my biggest suggestion is to add Blender model import support into the app! **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words, we're really glad you enjoy using Naomi! Regarding missing textures, this usually happens when the original model file doesn't have textures embedded. If you export your models as GLB with textures packed in, they should come through correctly. If you run into a specific case, feel free to share it on our Discord and we'll help you figure it out. As for Blender support, Blender's native .blend files are a proprietary format that only Blender can open. However, Naomi fully supports GLB and FBX, which are the standard formats you can export from Blender. So your Blender models can already be used in Naomi without any issues. Feel free to join our Discord for tips and direct help: https://discord.gg/ts9mp4FqkC Best regards, Jan ### 5/5 — Toon mix productions *2025-12-27, version 1.27.0* I like to make the crossover movie making part ### 5/5 — How to import a sonic animation? *2025-12-11, version 1.27.0* Dear developer, I want to know how to import a sonic model to animate. How to do it? ### 5/5 — That’s really cool and good (what i hate) idk how to rotate *2025-10-31, version 1.26.2* Pretty cool! ### 5/5 — good *2025-10-29, version 1.26.2* sengat cocok untuk belajar animation sederhana ### 5/5 — This application shows potential *2025-08-30* As with any application, and with this one more than others, it’s easy to find personal dissatisfaction from functions within. However after considering the character of this application, it has shown itself to be different from others similar in nature. Myself and some can find discontent in bugs, crashes, imperfect interface, and pricing. Nonetheless, within good reason these issues can be explained from a developers perspective. Considering an application of similar nature does not exist yet on the Apple Store, we can assume a great difficulty in development. Bugs and crashes will happen and should not be held against if resolved in a timely manner. Pricing is also a reasonable expectation for the exchange of effort put into this application. Functions can be tested without paying and the price is reasonable. And lastly the interface, although extensive and inevitably difficult at times, has been made through reasonable assumptions for ease of the average user. The care and character of those developing this application also needs to be addressed. Updates happen regularly, comments are acknowledged and general improvement has been taking place consistently. Despite poor reviews, I see only good things to come! **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. We deeply appreciate the time you invested and the usefulness of your reflections. As a small self-funded team, your understanding means a lot to us. I truly wish more users would look at the complexity of development this way and provide constructive feedback instead of only complaints without any actionable information for our team. Please don’t hesitate to join our Discord channel, where valuable feedback is always more than welcome, both for the production version and for our closed beta program. Any support and input from the community in this way is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Jan ### 5/5 — 5 stars so you see *2025-08-18, version 1.25.1* Now if you see this prisma 3d came so delete this useless app ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-07-20, version 1.25.1* It’s the best app animation app ever made!! ### 5/5 — Un’app bellissima ma… *2025-06-20, version 1.24.0* L’app è molto bella, ma l’upgrade non mi fa accedere agli effetti del camera node, e vorrei provarlo ### 5/5 — Add text? *2025-06-03, version 1.24.0* I was wondering if you guys can add text for me, so I can add fonts to it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
