### 1/5 — Otay has the worse and most complicated ways of installing everything.

*2026-05-16, version 2025.3.01*

I love their products but getting them to work is downright horrible and confusing. I was hoping this product would be different but its just as difficult and impossible to figure out what versions work with it and then getting their stuff to work in Cinema 4d and Blender is just as impossible and annoying.

### 4/5 — Great app! But, slow due to default settings

*2025-08-28, version 2025.3.00*

For those reading this, change the default Direct Lighting kernel settings from 1000 samples to around 150 or 200. I guess Octane forgot although the M-Series is leap in performance compared to the A-Series, they are still not ready for that many samples.

### 5/5 — Extremely well done!

*2025-08-02, version 2025.2.00*

I am looking at my old quad 1080ti workstation and then watching my iPad keep up ON BATTERIES. Truly great work to Otto and Apple!

### 5/5 — Really powerful app here

*2025-01-13*

Yeah it require some knowledge to get render from it, but its already great that program exist for my ipad.

### 5/5 — Great Renderings

*2024-12-28*

The example overview disapear a little fast but 2024 is a great update. A must have App.

### 2/5 — Misrepresentation

*2024-11-02, version 2024.1.00*

The decription says it works month,y ipad but when I try to use it, it says incompatible. And gives an error.

### 5/5 — Blender for iPad

*2024-05-20*

I have been waiting so long for a good version of Octane for iPad, my laptop is so slow that it can’t even run Minecraft, so I am happy that I can now do it on my favourite device!

### 4/5 — nice rendering app, but hard to use.

*2024-05-19*

I learned the basics of use, but a tutorial on how to build vectron hair or how to make perfect glass or water would be useful…

### 5/5 — The One

*2024-05-15*

There is the best cypto project ever ⭕️
This is not about a simple project, it's the future !
Stay connected, it's set to be in the top 10 crypto market cap by 2024.
Thanks for all Jules 🫶

### 5/5 — Great Job OTOY!

*2024-03-06, version 2023.1.04*
