## What is Polydust?

Polydust gives you full control over your model mesh, being able to work in vertex, edge, poly and object model. Additionally, you can create parametrized basic shapes such as cubes, arcs, cylinders and toruses that will be a great base of your artworks. All with simple UI supported by keyboard shortcuts.

With Polydust, you can import and export FBX models - including integration with Sketchfab that lets you publish your creation in a matter of seconds. Last, but not least, Polydust has a great and active community: a forum and Youtube channel with tons of video tutorials. You can easily contribute to it thanks to ReplayKit integration.

### 5/5 — Aaa this app is so good

*2021-09-22, version 1.0.2*

I’ve never tried 3d modelling before, and all the other apps I tried didnt open or crashed even before I tried using them ;-; so I’m really happy with this app, it doesn’t crash, is (partly) free and has a nice dreamy aesthetic, especially with the bloom feature :3

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-09-18, version 1.0.2*

This is a bad app it just want to take your money for every thing

### 2/5 — eh

*2021-06-02, version 1.0.2*

i like how we don’t have to use any ipad applicances in order to model. i don’t like the fact we have to pay subscriptions for it in order to get the “full experience”, may you remove it?

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2021-04-03, version 1.0.2*

Nothing of the advanced stuff is free, but the app just bricks when I try to subscribe! Just sits there until I get board 10 minutes later. “Requesting Subscription” just sits on the screen.

### 2/5 — Hard to play .

*2021-03-12, version 1.0.2*

It is very hard to create stuff and I like you to fix that.

### 5/5 — SO GOOD

*2021-02-02, version 1.0.2*

PLEASE make the pro version available in canada

### 2/5 — Subscriptions bugged, full app unusable

*2020-11-22, version 1.0.2*

Subscriptions don’t work reliably. Attempting to subscribe results in the app hanging indefinitely (Yes, we’ve tried “restore subscription”).

 The support forums are dead, too, and spam is starting to leak in (“Buy the best microwave in India!”). 

Shame, this was a neat proof of concept.

### 1/5 — Abandoned by devs!

*2020-10-07, version 1.0.2*

Buggy, crash-prone, confusing interface. No release in over a year. Devs admit on their site that the project is abandoned because they didn’t make enough money on subscriptions. Avoid!

### 4/5 — Very good app, crashes while launching.

*2020-09-20, version 1.0.2*

This is a very good app I have learned most of how to make something, I’m making a house right now, I haven’t payed, you cam do simple things without paying, which is nice, the bad thing is that sometimes whenever I launch the app, it crashes frequently, if that was fixed (and maybe a couple more free features) it would be a much better app.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2020-08-24, version 1.0.2*

The only problem is the monthly/yearly payment, you could just have a one time payment option that unlocks all features and have the monthly payment for a cloud storage server to sync across devices. And at least make subdivide a free feature.
