Why not toss a few at the dude that saves you time and headaches?! Tho….. that being said Mr.witcher I’ve tossed my coin already but plz for the love of god I need a 1000 block radius circle I can’t find a good app like yours anywhere n it only goes to a 400 block radius …. 🙏 ### 1/5 — In app purchase required ☹️ *2023-08-19* Not obviously clear from the product page that this is severely handicapped by in app purchase requirements. Should just be an upfront fee if the app doesn’t work as advertised in the title without a purchase (can’t make spheres without purchase) ### 5/5 — Very useful when needed. But I tried to buy full version and button isn’t working for me *2021-11-28, version 1.7* I’ll try as much as I can to make it work. ### 3/5 — It will not let me purchase the Spheres.. *2021-02-24, version 1.7* I used to use this app all the time, but ever since I bought an LG phone, I had to turn to my iPad for all my iOS applications. I installed this, opened it, and my first impressions were good. However, once I attempted to purchase the extra features, it just wouldn't work. I have no idea if it's because I run an older version of iOS or not, or if it's just the developer. The purchase would not work, and I hope this can be resolved. I'd hate to see an app like this get outdated.. :( ### 5/5 — Good app very useful *2020-07-27* First review so I’ll keep it brief it’s a good app helps me find the diameters of the circles in trying to make but one request would be to nunber the y-axis so I can count the cubes I like to always double check and I can’t see very well so this would help a lot thanks ### 5/5 — Quality *2020-07-11, version 1.7* A very reliable app. My kids and I use it a lot on Minecraft ### 2/5 — Ok *2019-08-26, version 1.7* It’s helpful but I want to pay for spheres but it’s not worth the price to buy it. ### 5/5 — 10/10 Amazing app! *2019-08-22, version 1.7* This is the only app I’ve been able to find that makes all these shapes! Thanks to you I’m now addicted to building stupid castles in Minecraft again ### 3/5 — kind of disappointing. *2018-08-31, version 1.7* wish there was an option to choose setting the radius or diameter, as well as one block center point or two, as is the current default. will not use until these features are added for free users(i’m poor and don’t have the spare money for the premium version). ### 4/5 — Already bought *2018-08-09* I bought the 3D shapes a while ago and I’ve reinstalled app on my new phone to find it saying I’ve never downloaded or bought these items before, money down the drain ## Frequently asked questions about XiB Circles, Spheres, Donuts, Cones and Funnels ### What does this app do?
