## What is Shapes 3D?

Discover a fascinating world of 3D shapes like prisms, pyramids, solids of revolution and Platonic solids. Start from the simplest and gradually explore the most complex ones. Build solids from scratch with a new Nets Creator mode and discover hundreds of unique net combinations.

Shapes use the power of mobile devices to enhance teacher capabilities and provide possibilities to show things that cannot be shown with physical tools. It can help to create interest and enthusiasm in school mathematics classes at all levels.

The app was verified and approved by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznan. It was specifically prepared to support the teacher in the classroom, but can also be used as a tool for self-study. From now on there is a save and print option available for each net so that the kids can explore solids outside the app and improve their manual skills as well.

'Shapes' features:

- Select 27 unique shapes
- Choose from a variety of prisms, pyramids, Platonic solids and solids of revolution
- Unfold shapes into different net combinations
- Learn about the number of faces, edges and vertices for each solid
- Build solids from scratch in Nets Creator mode
- Explore transparent surfaces mode
- Highlight the vertices and edges
- Color selected elements
- Use simple gesture control
- Rotate the shapes in any direction
- Zoom in and out by pinch and spread gestures
- Align to a basic position by double tap
- Save, print, cut and fold a chosen net 
- Examine 3D shape in Augmented Reality!  Place the solid on your desk without the need to print and fold them!

Note: ‘Shapes’ does not contain advertising, in-app purchases or any other downloadable content.

Note: Augmented Reality works only with iOS devices supporting ARKit. But don’t worry if your device doesn’t support ARkit - 3D Shapes work perfectly fine without ARKit.

## Key features

- Explore 27 unique 3D shapes
- Nets Creator mode to build solids
- Augmented Reality visualization
- Save and print nets for manual folding
- Learn faces, edges, and vertices
- Interactive shape manipulation

### 2/5 — Stürzt ab

*2026-05-18*

App stürzt immer ab. Idee an sich gut.

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2024-12-14, version 2.3.7*

Good but crashes as soon as you say to print. Replicated on iPad Air and iPad Pro.

### 3/5 — 闪退

*2024-08-14*

总是闪退，重启也闪退，希望解决一下

### 4/5 — quadrangular prism

*2023-10-02*

Is it possible for you to change the net create modus for this shape type? This would be so nice! Especially for primary school pupils (I‘m a primary school teacher!!!)  it would be absolutely helpful if they have the possibility to create nets with 3 different sizes (for example 2 shapes with size 2cm, 2 shapes with size 3cm and 2 shapes with size 4cm) instead of 4 rectangle with the same size and then 2 squares with the same size. Primary school schoolbooks usually work this topic out by showing pupils quadrangular prism nets with 3 different sizes. And in addition to that it would be also absolutely helpful if users can change colours in the net create modus. Hope you understand what I want to say. I absolutely love this app and my students too but can‘t rate this app with 5 stars because of this :(

### 4/5 — Great app

*2023-05-02, version 2.3.7*

Great app and simple yet classy design! It gives me a 3D understanding of the shapes in my study of sacred geometry. 
It would have been so much better if:
1. We could have the option to merge shapes to play around with, e.g. create flower of life, able to move the tetrahedron around to create a star. 
2. Have colour options.
3. Not sure what the points and segments are for as they cannot be manipulated to play around the shapes with, or create a new shape. Seems pointless. 
Hoping that there will be some updates along these lines as it’s such a great app but just limited at this current stage.

### 2/5 — Funktion der App unter IOs 15 nicht mehr möglich

*2021-11-30*

Die App stellt einen wirklichen Mehrwert für den Mathematikunterricht dar. Leider jedoch funktioniert die App seit dem letzen Update auf IOs 15 nicht mehr. Vielleicht kommt bald ein Update.
Die anderen Apps des Herstellers funktionieren weiterhin einwandfrei.

### 4/5 — 差一点就完美了

*2021-10-17*

希望赶紧加入圆形的立体图形，圆形剖面图就完美了，这个软件对讲解结构素描太有用了。

### 5/5 — Super impressionné par les possibilités de cette application en salle de classe

*2021-06-13, version 2.3.7*

Après avoir joué avec cette application, je vois comment elle me sera utile en salle de classe durant les périodes d’enseignement. Bravo !

### 5/5 — 不错的软件

*2020-11-15*

希望新增圆台和半球形与环形体〈开发者回复😇）

### 4/5 — とても良いです！が...

*2020-01-13*

子どもの勉強にとても役立っています！
ですが、展開図が一種類しかないところはちょっと物足りないです。
できれば、展開図が選べるとなお良いです！
