assembly on iPad blows

Why is this so laggy !/? I would never pay this much to have the app not work.

Waste of time

I never write reviews but wow this one is below the bare minimum. I can't even use it without signing up, forced to sign up on the website and 2fa email never seems to arrive, reloading the page completely voids signup process.

Love it, great way to work on my iPad

I had used onshape on a Mac before, I was expecting the app to be a step down, but I think it’s a bit more intuitive and easy to work with. There are a few things that are interesting, but are really easy to do once you figure out how. For example, I could not figure out how to assign dimensions to things in the app, but then I found the dimension button on the sketch toolbar and it was super simple. Navigating the part studio is easier than on a Mac because you don’t have to use the arrow keys. The only thing that is harder is mate connectors in assemblies. I didn’t realize that you had to double select it. The first selection brings up available mate connectors for that area, the second selects which of those connectors you want.
