### 5/5 — Best easy design app OF ALL TIME

*2026-07-16, version 1.4*

I’ve been using tinkerCAD for around 8 months now since I learned about it in school . I’ve mastered 90% of the topics in 3d design and i love this app / website .
10 stars out of 5

### 5/5 — Fun and easy to get started!

*2026-07-15*

Tinkercad is the best. I started off barely knowing anything, only making very simple (and very bad) designs. But I grew overtime, just one would with drawing, and I realized TInkercad can be used to make amazing, complicated designs, eventually ending up with my first staff pick! It feels so rewarding to finish something on Tinkercad, and it’s easy to start most things too. I love the challenges, specifically Tinktober, where there’s a list of one thing to make for each day of October. It’s specific enough that you’d know what to make, but vague enough to make it unique. I really can’t think of any complaints to make. Sometimes there’s an annoying glitch, but those are always fixed soon. I highly recommend this to everyone who wants to get started in 3D design in an easy and fun way.—SnakeMaster, well-known Tinkerer

### 2/5 — Help

*2026-07-13, version 1.4*

I love the app it just quit working hope they fix this problem soon

### 4/5 — Love it, but one temporary problem.

*2026-07-12*

OK, I love love love this app. It helps so much. The only problem that I think will be fixed is when I go onto the app it says lost connection! The Tinkercad service is not responding. Please let me wait a moment. But I really need this to work because if it doesn’t, I will be able to show my grandparents how the three printing works, and my grandparents are leaving in 30 minutes. They’re leaving in like 20 to 30 minutes, and I need them to see us. Please please please please please please respond and fix it.

### 5/5 — Love it but

*2026-07-12, version 1.4*

Please fix the way it says lost connection.

### 3/5 — Worked great! … until it didn’t

*2026-07-10, version 1.4*

Used it for 4 months on iPad. Flawless. Opened up one day to find that it was on an endless loop of the blue loading screen and “connection lost” Please fix that bug, because I really want to go back to designing

### 1/5 — Poo

*2026-08-25, version 1.4*

Poooooooooo

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2026-08-22, version 1.4*

Dumb app

### 1/5 — The game is stuck loading...

*2026-08-16, version 1.4*

When I clicked Start Tinkering, it got stuck on the loading screen and never loads.

### 1/5 — So frustrating

*2026-08-12, version 1.4*

This app is so frustrating. The way you have to try to design stuff is so weird. You have to jump through hoops just trying to erase part of the object. Drawing a “hole” box placing it over the part you want erased, and then grouping them together. You can’t select or just choose part of the object to duplicate. I wish it was more like indesign or illustrator and give you complete control. The align tool is also super basic and you can’t snap to align things. So it makes it really tricky trying to line up certain pieces.

### 1/5 — Prob a bug

*2026-08-09, version 1.4*

Every time i open the app it stays on the loading screen way to long idk if it’s a bug or my iPad Air 12

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-06-19, version 1.4*

Toooooo frustrating and takes to much time. FUNCTIONS ARE TOOOO HARD TO CONTROL! DO NIT RECOMMEND UNLESS U WANT TO GET RAGEBAITED! FIX THIS STUPID GAME IMMEDIATELY OWNER!!!

### 1/5 — The worst app ever

*2026-06-17, version 1.4*

Would give it 0 stars, but it would not let me

### 1/5 — Get on my nerves creating an account password🤬

*2026-06-02, version 1.4*

It literally is making me do what it says. It lets me create a custom one. But It basically wants me to do certain things 🤬

### 1/5 — No email

*2026-05-26, version 1.4*

No email response to sign my child in

### 1/5 — Don’t get this app

*2026-05-17, version 1.4*

This caused soon many problems and half the time it crashed. This was terrible!😡

### 5/5 — Best thing

*2026-08-22, version 1.4*

So fun

### 5/5 — Does so much more than you think it does…

*2026-08-20, version 1.4*

Not only is this the freest CAD app available, I still think it’s the best until you just really need that extra level of detail. You’re not going to be making 40K miniatures using this or anything, but you can create just about any functional object that you can craft using basic shapes and their negatives. Watch some YouTube tutorials because although it’s very easy to pick up, the rabbit hole goes pretty deep.

### 5/5 — 🥰

*2026-08-13, version 1.4*

I love it so I think you would to plus my dad is a teacher so I am on the student side!!!! And on Tinkercad you can create whatever your heart desires ❤️

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-12, version 1.4*

Easy for beginners. Not as good as Fusion 360 or OnShape but still serves as a starter kit for people getting into CAD.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-11, version 1.4*

Tinkercad is an amazing platform easy to use

### 5/5 — So addicted

*2026-08-06, version 1.4*

I love the app 10000/5 stars

### 5/5 — Fun but confusing

*2026-08-04, version 1.4*

I tried to build my characters legs up, but the shapes warrant moving where I was moving them at and every time I placed a sheepe on top of another day stickt to each other, but it was very fun to try

### 5/5 — Bro, it’s so good. Why is nobody buying it and why are people rating it one?

*2026-08-01, version 1.4*

So so so so so so so so so so so so good, good good good good good good good good good good so so so good that I feel like I’m just gonna explode of joy so don’t be weird about it!,!,!!!!!!GOOOOOOOODD!,!,!!!,!

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-31, version 1.4*

No questions, js pure fun

### 5/5 — For everyone stuck with the login loop connecting issue

*2026-07-18, version 1.4*

All you have to do is delete the app download it again this time when you login click stay logged in if you were using an email and password at least for me this is what does it.
