Intuitive once you know the basics

Excellent program. Though i wish you could just buy it outright. Subscriptions are dumb

Nope!

Can't work on ipad

So close

I was originally astonished by how intuitive and easy it is to learn this software. I changed my 5 star to a 1 star when I realised they don’t have copy and paste as a feature. Ctrl C Ctrl V is primordial. It exists in every piece of design software, it’s maddening. In Shapr 3D you can copy drawings within the same sketch (as a drag and copy, weird but fine) but if you want to copy a drawing onto a different face/sketch, it’s not possible. In any other CAD program it’s as simple as select > Copy > Change face > Paste, but to achieve this effect in Shapr3D you need to do an insane work around or redraw the entire sketch, which I can’t emphasis enough, is clinically insane

Great software, far too expensive

I’m loving the simplicity of it for 3D design, but it’s far too expensive for a hobbyist. I know there is a free version but its quality output is limited. I don’t mind paying for software, but this price just screams greed to me.

READ THIS

I’m sorry these people are lying. This app is so hard to use and half the stuff they teach you isn’t even on the screen to use

3d prints

This app has helped me so much with understanding cad and 3d design.

A drafting toy trying to be a tool

I come back to this app every once in a while, trying to like it, but it is the most frustrating CAD software I have ever used in my life. Somehow the Onshape iPad app works better than this one which is a shame because the interface in Shaper is actually pretty nice when it’s good. Unfortunately, it is bad, very bad the majority of the time.

Back when this app originally came out and it was dirt cheap, I could imagine potentially paying for it just to give it some more time and maybe it could grow on me. But there is absolutely no way I could pay this ridiculous premium for an app this frustrating to use.

Crashing

Amazing app but it crashes whenever I scale something.

everything is paid

horrible!!

Nothing beats working on the go for me

Being able to work when ever and where ever has put my productivity light years ahead. I spent years glued to one spot and will never work like that again. I can’t speak for anyone else but Shapr3d meets all my needs. 5 stars all day 🔥🔥🔥💯

Does not let me use my fingers to model

I don’t like to use the app because it doesn’t allow me to use my own fingers.

Time-limited demo, then subscription

The interface seems really nice, but I refuse to use subscription-based software. Make it free or set a fixed one-time-only price.

Disappointed

Anyone looking to use the free tier of this app should know that the output files are extremely low quality unless you pay. At the very least, STL files should be usable for the occasional user - they are not. Skip this program unless you’re prepared to pay their $300 annual subscription.

Chat I got it for freeeeeeee

Hahahahahahahhahahah

Still no way to place text with a curve or the perimeter of a circle

All of the competition can complete text on the curve or in a circle such as a coin or other flat-round object. The application has been out way too long for not able to be able to perform this function.

Update on being bummed

The app is just a struggle bus to get started with, and while the developers built out tutorials for the app. I just find them useless, I literally follow the tutorial step for step, and without fail it doesn’t work. Super bummed as I thought this would be perfect for woodworking projects but the learning curve is too steep or something else is wrong but so far the experience is frustrating and feels like more work than just drawing and redrawing the items as needed.

UPDATE: So I stuck with it and eventually got over the hump. For most start small, even smaller than the demo and start on the intro YouT series. But I will say it still infuriates me there’s just not a bit more simple functionality to start, but it is CAD. Could be an iPad Air issue with the new M4 or just me, but it still struggles to move through the process smoothly and without issue.

Excellent, but have a suggestion

I love every feature and seamless detail the devs added, but consider adding a sculpting section for more mesh details. This would speed up character modeling by starting with your base geometry features and sculpting the modifications from there.

Very good especially for beginners

This website is really good even for people like me, a beginner at these softwares. It explains everything we need to know about it and its software is nice and simple

Touch support

For some reason you cannot use this app with just a touch screen and need an apple pencil or a keyboard and mouse/trackpad

Why can’t I use my fingers

Nice app just I can’t use my fingers
