### 4/5 — 色板无法替换

*2026-01-25*

每次新图都是默认色板。但默认色板无法替换成已设置好的色板。需要自己再一次调节颜色。这点很需要更改。

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2024-09-22*

I’ve been using this app for a little bit now and I’ve been impressed with the features it does have, but one thing that is missing that was a huge part of my workflow in MagicaVoxel is the use of SHADERS. Shaders make foliage and other asset creation so much easier and quicker. I’m really hoping that Voxel Max adds support for the same shaders that MagicaVoxel supports. I love MagicaVoxel but sometimes I just want to take my iPad with me and create on the go. If shader support was added,  then this would be the perfect app for me (and hopefully many others!).
Anyway, I appreciate all the effort that has gone into this app’s development and extend a heartfelt thank you ^_^

### 5/5 — Great Software

*2023-12-10*

Easy to use and export. Amazing Augmented Reality file export & experience!

### 4/5 — 中文版中文版中文版！！！！！

*2023-12-06*

能不能加个中文版啊啊啊！！！

### 5/5 — Best Voxel program.

*2023-03-19*

Лучшее приложение 
в своём роде, понять 
основы интерфейса 
можно за пару дней + 
есть обучение в ютубе 
и в Дискорде и подсказки 
в самом приложении. Жаль,
что русского языка не добавили).

### 5/5 — Incredibly well thought out gem of an app

*2023-03-10*

Have loved every second of using it.

### 5/5 — Gg

*2023-03-04, version 1.5.04*

ถึงจะทำไม่ได้มากมายเท่า magicavoxel แต่ถือว่าทำงานพื้นฐานได้ดีเลยครับสายดีเทลเล็กๆน่าจะถนัดกว่าจับเมาส์วาดใน magicavoxel

### 5/5 — Production-grade

*2023-01-15*

Impressive achievement. Elegant and intuitive interface - consistent across iOS and MacOS - helps beginners get to grips quickly, while advanced feature set allows for high-quality ray-traced renders and easy integration with production art asset pipelines, supporting full scene export in a range of formats. Super responsive dev, too. Best way to model voxels on Apple hardware, bar none.

### 5/5 — Best app for voxel art

*2023-01-03*

It is the best app for voxel art for ipad in my opinion. Thank you

### 5/5 — Loving it so far!

*2022-12-04*

Great app for voxel editing with amazing performance on the new Apple Silicon Macbooks.

### 5/5 — My GOD! where have you been?

*2022-11-19, version 1.4.49*

Update Nov 2022

This app is still a powerhouse. 

I love the update, that the…. 

drag the “i” for information atop an icon you don’t understand, and a video plays providing you a video tutorial of what said icon tool is. Brilliant feature.  

I look forward to any what new nuggets maybe in store. Buy the app if you’re reading this.

ORIGINAL POST: 
INCREDIBLE! _ It’s like using unity modeling editor but better UX. 

 Create scenes, screen-cap it, take it to photoshop on iPad or in my case Affinity Photo on iPad - and go even further with photo manipulation. 

 Dear Dev, Please stay updating, I will pay for future updates if you need income to sustain in life. This is amazing! Eventually you will get more exposure. I’m surprised I’m just finding you. 

Developer… ADD: video to your description. You Must show, this IN MOTION! I almost shrugged you off as “probably useless app” due to not enough reviews and no video. Your youtube brought me back after I searched you there. 

Marketing: ADD the following meta tags to your app so you can get discovered every where: app store, youtube channel, Instagram, Facebook, online.. etc: Art Previz Pre-Viz Modeling Graphics Sculpting 3D Modeling Game Graphics Computer Graphics  Voxel Art Voxel Graphics Voxel Sculpting Voxel Game Graphics Go all out! you need more exposure. 👉 Voxel is Crack!!

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing

*2022-11-14*

A must-have for game developers, artists, or just anyone trying to have fun with Voxels :)

### 4/5 — Wont Let me Export to GLTF

*2022-10-03*

Really good program, but it wont let me export GLTF and I kind of need it to

**Developer response:** I m aware of the problem since iOS 16 update and working on an urgent hotfix. Meantime please join our discord to get beta channel access to the hotfix when I release later this week.

### 1/5 — Program crashes

*2025-04-22*

I can't create anything anymore. The program crashes whenever I start a new project.

I did use it before that, it does have some powerful features but the layout is not designed well at all. Feels like it's designed by a programmer rather than a designer. 

The menu system needs a huge redesign,besides it crashing this is the biggest problem of the app.

**Developer response:** You've mentioned issues with the menu and crashes in several reviews since 2022. I still don’t know which menu specifically is causing problems or what you’d consider a better design. If you want changes, I need specifics. You can reach me on Discord or at contact@voxelmax.com to explain what’s not working for you.

As for crashes, I’m not getting any crash reports from your device, so I can’t fix what I can’t see. If you want these issues fixed, either send a detailed description or enable crash reporting.

If you have actionable feedback, I’m ready to listen and make improvements.

### 1/5 — 10$ for non functioning app

*2024-05-25*

Does not work. Cant create any projects any more. No button works. Nothing, not even deinstalling fixes it

**Developer response:** please reach to contact@voxelmax.com to help you with your issues

### 1/5 — can not export file

*2024-01-09*

If the size of a design getting bigger, .vmax and .vox file is crashed on mac.

**Developer response:** kindly reach through the support channel in discord or via email, contact@voxelmax.com to troubleshoot your issue and fix it.

### 1/5 — Looks good at first, but then it's a disaster

*2023-01-29*

On first use it seems to have the requisite functions. But then...

1. It commits the cardinal sin of losing/dumping/dropping your work. You can save your file out as many times as you like, but if it glitches on you, you'll lose it all. (The glitch seems to happen early on in a working session, and prevents saving.)

2. It's very bugget throughout. Sometimes the tools just start doing the wrong things, and you have to close your file and re-open it to restore their function.

**Developer response:** I am really sorry to hear about your poor experience. Please feel free to join discord or contact me by email at contact@voxelmax.com to understand the specifics of your issues and fix them.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2022-08-05*

Terribly inconvenient app. no tutorials on updated versions, no information about a lot of things. constant bugs, inconveniently located tools, a lot of delicate things are simply not there. not worth its price.

**Developer response:** Have you checked recently the YouTube channel? There are new tutorials showcasing latest features. Also for reporting any bugs or feature requests feel free to join the discord community, invite link on the main site.

### 1/5 — Wanted to love it, menu is horrible.

*2022-04-09, version 1.4.40*

While I did watch the tutorials the program does seem buggy. Everything is very hard to find or understand. It’s a shame, it runs great, you can make a nice asset library. But something as simple as adding a layer or coloring is extremely complex.  I hope the developer works on making the menu easier, if so I can see this being 5 stars. Till then I’m upset I spent money buying it when other free programs where much easier to use. I just wanted this cause it had the potential to do more.

### 1/5 — Not optimized for medium large files / bugs

*2021-01-04*

Lot of bugs and not optimized.

**Developer response:** I know how frustrating can be to encounter bugs. Let’s get in touch please so I can understand the specifics. All issues reported so far were solved with top priority.

### 2/5 — A Valiant Attempt, but Shy of Results

*2021-07-31, version 1.4.30*

Voxel Max is a 3D modeler that seeks to help create voxel art for artists in both the indie games and art community. The app is cited as being a powerful experience, which is true to an extent.

The first question you will ask yourself is if it is worth the money. The solid answer to this is no. Ten dollars as of writing is too much for this iPadOS tool. I will go into detail on this now.

First off, you have to give the developer props to taking on a task such as making a modeler on the iPad. Most developers won't go that far and I understand that the developer needs to make a profit as well. But the reason why the price is not worth it is because of how both the tool and camera system works.

There are plenty of tools that this app offers, some that I haven't seen other apps try to do. Unfortunately, these tools don’t work, and if they do, they don’t work well. For example, there was a tool that was said to subtract based off my selection based off my drawing tool. Slightly confusing, but I thought I could manage it. Nothing was subtracted off my mesh after 10 minutes of trying. Then, I went on my way to scale my model. The program has a resize tool but doesn’t elaborate well on how to use said tool. It should be straight forward, similar to the transform and rotate tool, but it is a completely separate part of the tool set. Not only this, but I could not get it to work either. I came to realize this app has a lot of features, yet none of them seem to work.

Documentation is another problem you will have if you purchase this app. When I went to the blog for basic help, I was given tutorials on how to make a Star Wars scene or a snake model. While basic tutorials such as the donut or teapot models for most software show you the basics, all I needed to do was see how the rescale tool worked. When I had found an article that mentioned it, the article redirected me to a video that had shown me exactly what I wanted to do, but in MagicaVoxel (the most popular voxel modeling tool). They tried to show a comparison to the feature in this app but it simply didn’t work. Additionally, the tutorials and videos will have a different UI from what you have in the app, making it hard to navigate.

The application has little settings to work with when it comes to editing. I could not disable touch drawing, which meant that if you use a stylus you will often find yourself accidentally drawing instead of zooming or moving. Additionally there was no option to solely focus on the center of the model, like magicavoxel. It would focus on the last voxel you placed. This meant if you erased that voxel, the camera pivot would for some reason be on the wall, making it hard to focus on your model.

Overall, the tools are very buggy and unstable. Documentation needs to be fixed as well. As of now, I highly recommend installing MagicaVoxel over this program as it has more documentation and a solid build. But I would like to state that you should also potentially keep an eye on this product if it goes down in price in the coming years. I do believe this could be great, it just needs more time in the oven before you should pay $10 for it.

### 3/5 — 良い　日本語追加お願いします

*2025-06-26*

安いのにいろんな機能がありいいが、日本語があるといいと思ったのと、aiの使い方がわかりません。

### 3/5 — 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

*2024-06-06*

This app is great, but it seriously needs to be optimized. Any little thing you do gets my M1 iPad Hot that’s not normal.

**Developer response:** working on a fix for shadows, meantime consider disabling shadows and setting preferred frame rate to 60, on m1 it might default to 120fps

### 5/5 — 直感操作で「作る楽しさ」に没頭できる神アプリ

*2026-04-11*

ボクセル/3D/デザイン制作のハードルを驚くほど下げてくれるアプリです。マニュアルを読み込むより先に、触っているだけで自然に使い方が身につく直感的な操作性が素晴らしい。
簡単な操作でライティングやマテリアルを調整でき、一気にクオリティが上がるのが快感です。書き出しもスムーズで、Blenderやゲームエンジンへの連携がスムーズなのも実用的。
何より、触っていて楽しい！！！
強いて言えばアニメーション機能が欲しいですが、もし実装されたら他のソフトが勝てなくなるレベルの最強ツールになると思います。

### 5/5 — 感谢作者，不过还有几个小问题

*2026-04-02*

确实是好用的 ，但是还是觉得图层和组调换位置有点繁琐，不能直接是拖拽的方式移动过去么？现在我只能剪切之后，再粘贴过去。而且选中方式好像有两种，只有变成橘红色才是真的选中了，只是预览框那特别不清晰的一个白框好像不算是能操作的那种选中，但是想要橘色那种选中必须是按住然后点selection->select object才行么，这个也有点繁琐呢，不能参考procreate那种点击就是选择，左滑就是多选么？还是很感谢作者，软件还是很好用的！

### 5/5 — works great!

*2025-09-25*

very well done.

### 5/5 — Brilliant Voxel App!

*2025-07-27*

Thank you for providing such a great voxel toolset on the iPad, it’s much appreciated!

### 5/5 — Всё отлично

*2025-07-13*

Отличная программа!

### 5/5 — Had a problem, developer fixed it 5 stars!

*2025-04-29*

I had an issue with the app no longer working and crashing on new scenes. To my surprise the developer contacted me in order to try to fix the problem in which they managed to fix. App works great and I love that I can actually buy the app vs having to pay yet another subscription. The developer is also open to hearing on any improvements for the app, so its a 5/5 star app for me!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the change of heart and looking forward to hear the improvement ideas.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2025-02-16*

I absolutely love this app, it gets out of the way an lets your creativity run wild!

### 5/5 — Voxel max is probably the best mobile app for voxel art.

*2024-06-28*

I've been having so much fun creating stuff, so far i've made a cathedral ( had a little trouble with lighting, and water ) and I am currently working on a pretty large project, I am having no troubles whatsoever, no lag, nothing Other than water, Im so confused on how to make water look realistic? see through? Id like to make windows and stuff so I can make the inside of buildings as-well. But it is so very confusing, to be fair i've only used the app a few days but water/glass are my main struggles there doesn't seem to be any tutorials for them, Other than the terrain tutorial. I love the way the water looked but i couldn't figure out how it was done. Even after putting the vid in slow motion.

Loving the app though its amazing!! It's been worth the buy so far! :)

**Developer response:** It can look more realistic using the raytracer. You ll have to adapt the colors’ transparency and the material properties like roughness. If you need help please feel free to join the discord community (link on website) or drop a direct message on X(twitter)

Update.. ok thank you

### 5/5 — Voxel Artist Must Buy!

*2024-05-28*

This app is awesome, I’m learn game devs using SceneKit in Xcode, I recreated Crossy road and design all the assets in this app. It’s extremely powerful and a joy to create in thanks devs!
