### 5/5 — Wow that’s pretty good

*2023-11-19*

This is very good I love making things out of BLOCKS💀

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-07-15*

Man it is so easy to use

### 5/5 — Excellent resource for artists

*2023-03-06, version 1.1.11*

It’s an excellent resource for artists, especially ones who struggle with perspective. You can use it to build as many scenes as you want and position the camera for it. Pair this with the app called Poseit(also free) and you have anything you could need in terms of resources.

I love that there’s no ads and it’s completely free to use, I also love that it auto saves and the interface is simple to use.

The only issue I have with this is that when you move the camera and let go of the screen, the perspective moves a bit and it can make positioning the camera hard, I’d appreciate it if you fixed that.

Overall, I’m glad that this exists, thanks creator(s)

### 5/5 — Excellent Modelling Tool!

*2022-12-13*

I was looking for a simple and easy-to-use voxel modelling app, and this one checks every box for me!

### 5/5 — This is perfect

*2022-07-18, version 1.1.11*

This game actually is amazing it’s the best game I ever seen that has anything to do with Pixel art

### 4/5 — I want to love this so bad but…

*2022-04-12, version 1.1.11*

it has some difficult flaws. I really have been enjoying this app which is why I’m giving 4 stars, but I’ve run into a few frustrating issues.

Positives:
- Easy to place/destroy/change colors
- Easy grid button
- Nice layer placement option

Negatives:
- The camera and the camera controls (biggest negative for me). The camera locks to a particular spot so if you are trying to build a house for example, you might zoom a little too far out and then lock yourself out of the house. Then you have to wrangle the camera again to get back to the entrance of your building to go inside. Overall the movement just feels clunky. 
- The lighting can be dark at times, even with adjusting brightness on my phone

Other than those two things this app is awesome. I’d give 4.5 stars if possible.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2021-12-26, version 1.1.11*

Great voxel design. Easy and logical menus make creating objects fun. Still one of the best!  This is the best voxel editors using touch screen interface.

### 5/5 — Just... so shiny...

*2021-12-09*

Every flat surface looks shiny AND I LOVE IT.
Really fun to play with and I would recommend this app to anyone who is thinking about getting it. SHINY...

### 5/5 — Great buy!

*2021-11-25, version 1.1.11*

This app is awesome and if you are looking for a free voxel editor this is perfect! :D

### 5/5 — Almost Perfect

*2021-11-16, version 1.1.11*

I am working on an animation and needed something to design the sets with. I tried CAD programs and a home design/blueprint app, but they were too hard to use and overqualified for my purposes. I tried a Minecraft knockoff, and realized I had to mine my materials in order to build, so I deleted that too. 

This app, on the other hand, is beautiful. The controls are simple; it took me only ten minutes to learn. I like the grid on/off feature, so I can see exactly where I’m placing the blocks. The light source feature is useful for illuminating small details on a particular side of the object. The photo option is amazing for getting camera angles. I haven’t used it yet, but I also appreciate the fact that you can export the project into three different formats (which I may do in the future, if it suits my needs).

Moving around is a little clunky, but that’s probably because I’m trying to maneuver on the inside of a hollow object (I’ll glitch through walls, and suddenly speed out of the building’s offices at times); but if I try hard enough, I can get the camera angles I want. 

I do wish there were a color wheel/spectrum where you can custom-make your own colors, as opposed to using a palette; but I’m going to be tracing over everything anyway, so it’s not that big of a deal.

Overall, it is a wonderful app; and I would definitely recommend it to others.

All our excuses to impacted users. We won't do it again.

### 1.1.10 — 2020-11-29

- Improved save file format (.pcubes), now way smaller.

Note: with the new implementation for lights and colors, existing creations may appear darker.
Colors used to be burnt (too light), it was natural to select darker colors to compensate.
We're sorry if you have to update some of your creations because of this. 
This change allows us to work on cool features for future releases, more light and color settings essentially.

Thanks for reading!
