### 2/5 — Models great, app not

*2025-08-09*

Ugears Models are awesome. Ugears tech is old, buggy, and underwhelming.

### 1/5 — Увы

*2023-07-06, version 1.1.6*

Приложение не видит ни дифференциал, ни инструкцию. Ребенок расстроен(

### 1/5 — Do not work

*2023-04-14, version 1.1.6*

With both model of differential and the instruction cover

### 4/5 — Much better, still needs work

*2023-01-13*

The camera and scanning interface works beautifully now!
There does seem to be a lack of engineering/physics teaching, and the app does seem to be quite minimal in terms of utility. 
The team does seem to be working on the app, though. And considering the state of their country I can’t exactly blame them for oversight. 
Keep fighting the good fight!

**Developer response:** Thanks! Your ratings are very valuable to us!💙

### 1/5 — Do not download this

*2023-01-01, version 1.1.6*

Very baggy app. Does not work for UGEARS Differential. If you want to rate this app - it points you to Stew’sMagicBlaBla that looks like a different app. I’m disappointed.

### 1/5 — アプリが使えない

*2022-09-19, version 1.1.4*

iOS15、16で動作しませんでした。
組み立てたモデルを読み込む時にバグります。

### 1/5 — Buy the model, skip the app

*2022-09-03*

Downloaded the app to play with my manual transmission model but it’s super buggy and I can’t scan anything with the camera, and it looks like maybe I have to pay for the different models? 

The app just doesn’t work at, but the physical model is super cool! Will make a wonderful desk toy and demonstration for curious minds.

### 1/5 — Isn’t working at all

*2022-08-28, version 1.1.4*

It’s impossible to use this app, huge amount of visual bugs

### 1/5 — App won’t scan

*2022-06-05*

Love the models but the app is garbage.   Won’t scan won’t work on my iPhone or iPad.

### 1/5 — A for effort in an app that is a complete non starter!

*2021-07-30, version 1.1.4*

Doesn’t recognise the model, tries to show me what the finished item will look like in the house but won’t get to the instructions on how to build it.
Perhaps that’s the intention and I’ll just have to imagine the finished model on a shelf somewhere :/
