DO NOT USE WITH IPHONE

I have a iPhone 17 Pro Max, the largest phone possible. The UI is CLUTTERED. This reduces my view port to 60% of the screen. It’s like building a ship in a bottle. Can’t touch the microscopic 3 dots under icon to see if there’s a way to close it. Dev; this app may *work on both iPad and iPhone, but it’s not necessarily appropriate for small screens. I model on my phone all the time and the UI here just stinks. Terrible first impression, terrible waste of $20.

Love it!

Easy learning curve. Excellent results. Excellent support

Ok!

I was using a tool, I think it was move or drag, and then the app froze and obviously I wasn’t able to save, and it was very frustrating because it was very hard to do the steps and that I had to restart those steps. Overall, it is still a very good app.

Comfy. Modern. Fast

This is unbelievably fast and the most user-friendly iPad sculpting software I've used—it makes me happy every day! It is very simple, yet features a beautifully organized UI that keeps all the app's tools easily accessible. I love how easily you can sculpt organic shapes or tackle hard-surface modeling using Boolean operations. It also includes great painting tools and rendering features. I really love this app and find myself using it for hours!

The pinch tool has up and broke

So, I’m a long time user of nomad and i LOVE IT but this most recent issue is driving me insane. The pinch tool isn’t pinching. It used to actually PINCH but in a recent update it’s now behaving more like the crease tool. I cannot find a fix ANYWHERE so this really sucks, I use the pinch tool a whole lot :(
