Excellent results. Excellent support ### 4/5 — Ok! *2026-07-21, version 2.8* 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. ### 5/5 — Comfy. Modern. Fast *2026-07-17, version 2.8* 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! ### 3/5 — The pinch tool has up and broke *2026-07-17, version 2.8* 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 :( ### 5/5 — The best *2026-07-16, version 2.8* I started my digital sculpting journey two years ago with nomad and I’m now a full time sculptor still using nomad everyday. ### 5/5 — Amazing and easy to learn *2026-07-15, version 2.8* I started 3D modelling using this app years ago and never looked back, it’s been greatly improved and outshines nearly all 3D sculpting software Please keep adding more features because this app is amazing ### 4/5 — Great app, just one request though *2026-07-13, version 2.8* You can do alot of important things in the app, mostly modeling, but i have one issue with it. using the built-in layer tool, you can basically animate to some extent, by changing the percentage of the layer and exporting each frame, you can make an animation. even if you’re going for a quick animation, doing this with multiple parts can take a long time and is a needless hassle. my request is a simple timeline, each frame can save multiple changes so you can move back to certain frames to change some things. if it isnt too much to ask for, this would be a beautiful update. ### 5/5 — Sculpt *2026-07-13, version 2.8* Just wish it had animation ### 5/5 — Time *2026-07-12, version 2.8* Hey ### 5/5 — Great price great app *2026-07-10, version 2.8* I can’t wait until this comes out on Steam! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-02, version 2.8* Sensational ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2026-07-02, version 2.8* I’ve been sculpting for 20 years, using mainly ZBrush. I was jealous of all the other artists and designers who could do their thing on the go, but hen Nomad came out it changed the game, and it’s only gone from strength to strength. Even when certain other apps appeared, nomad is still on top for me. It’s easy to use, slick, and not cluttered. And with an exceptional price, awesome awesome. ### 4/5 — Fantastic Software *2026-06-26, version 2.8* I adore sculpting in Nomad. I only wish it had direct vertice manipulation like some other 3D software, for sculpting hard surface objects like armor more finely. Can’t recommend this software highly enough though. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-08-27, version 2.8* For the past week Theres been a lot of bugs on the iOS . Imported objects Aren’t centered to world or local. The smooth brush isn’t smoothing all the time. Unwanted Layers appear. Sometimes when using paint tool even when brush size is set to small it appears big on the object. It’s told me once that I no longer had remesher when I had baught it when it first was available. Etc etc ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE WITH IPHONE *2026-07-29, version 2.8* 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. ### 1/5 — Not for newbies *2026-07-09, version 2.8* I have spent long hours trying to understand what everything on the menus do, is a very capable app, but not for people that don’t understand 3d creation. ### 1/5 — Very cluttered *2026-07-06, version 2.8* The display is so cluttered it makes doing anything hard. And things that are very simple on other 3d renderes like deleting an object requires digging around through the clutter to find the delete button. ### 1/5 — It’s not working *2026-03-30, version 2.8* I was working on a very important sculpt and my app crashed like it does occasionally, and now it won’t re-open it just continuously keeps crashing over and over and over before it even opens, it’s just a black screen and then it crashes. ### 1/5 — Need Capsule shape and round edges of object *2026-02-17* Hello developer please add Capsule shape, heart shape and also add tool to smooth al the edges with curve. Currently edges are sharp but not smooths and there is no easy way to do this. Also please add options to set unit to measure in MM because mostly people using this for 3D printing, and MM is 3D printing unit. So if you can add printing relates options that will be helpful. Thanks ### 1/5 — Not intuitive or too intuitive? *2026-02-15, version 2.8* If there was a free trial option this review wouldn’t be necessary. It assumes I have ESP upon opening - all guesswork as to what to do. Not beginner friendly at all. I’m not new to 3D modelling and am very frustrated trying to find my way around the program, feel like I’ve completely wasted my money. ### 1/5 — Horrible as hell *2026-01-23, version 2.8* You can move only 1 body part and I don’t know why it’s doing this but is horrible vro ### 1/5 — 为什么没有入帮我建模 *2026-01-14, version 2.8* 我一直在哭 ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-12-05, version 2.5* I want to like this app. I really do. But it keeps crashing. I’m losing progress on sculpts. It freezes up all the time. Maybe it’s just a recent update or a glitch or something. But working for 20 minutes only to lose everything I’ve done is madness. To be fair, I should probably be saving files every five minutes for projects I care about. But this is happening with every project I work on. Running an M4 iPad Pro btw. So I doubt it’s a hardware issue. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — First time trying *2026-09-01, version 2.8* Absolutely cinema. This is like blender in so much ways. Well, I can’t just get right how to spawn in more blocks cause I wanna make a head for this build. ### 5/5 — FUN!! *2026-08-23, version 2.8* Very fun app. Takes some time to learn but very fun. ### 5/5 — Love it for cleaning up stl files *2026-08-21, version 2.8* I’m no designer but it’s great to touch up and make repairs ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-21, version 2.8* Day 1 sculpture ### 5/5 — Loving this app so far! 🥰 But there’s one issue! *2026-08-19, version 2.8* So far, I’m loving this app, and it was fairly easy to learn how to use the sculpting tools, and tweak the settings. Now, onto the issue. There needs to be a rigging section/setting added to this software, but I know it will take a ton of hard work, coding, and even money (and even it’s possibility is skewed because of the space issues with mobile devices). I’m utterly exhausted with having to transport all of my sculpts and creations into complicated, time-consuming softwares like Blender (or any third-party rigging websites) because I am a hands/fingers on creator, and I don’t like to use computer mouses and trackpads to use softwares like Blender (but that’s just my personal preference). 🥹 I hope y’all will be able to eventually add a rigging setting to this app. This app has a lot of potential! 😇 ### 5/5 — 😀 *2026-08-16, version 2.8* :) ### 5/5 — Nomad *2026-08-13, version 2.8* This is very hard ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-08-12, version 2.8* Worth every penny and then some ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-11, version 2.8* I love the ease of use of this program and that I am able to model wherever I want o my phone or iPad. ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2026-08-07, version 2.8* As my first program to learn 3d modeling, I’ve managed to learn so much and I can’t wait to create more!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
