### 3/5 — Apparel printer and Omni printer access Please!

*2026-07-22, version 2.1.1*

So far I love xtool and everything they offer. However, I travel a lot for business and need to be able to edit images for the apparel printer on the go. Having to pull my laptop out every time is a huge inconvenience. If this were just a hobby it wouldn’t be a big deal. But this is one of our main businesses and I’m not only the owner, but the only designer as well. I really need an easier way to edit these images directly in the xtool app on my iPad without having to pull my laptop out in the middle of a crowded area. Please please please add a way to edit apparel printer or Omni printer projects on iPads and tablets.

### 4/5 — XCS Software on iPad

*2025-01-20, version 2.1.1*

It took a little time working with the software and setting up my machine but overall, not very difficult at all and very fun to see creations become reality. I would like to see the features that are on the desktop and laptop versions of XCS come to the mobile platforms. Not being able to test and calibrate the laser path with the iPad was a little disappointing. Hopefully, that will come in a future update.

### 2/5 — Heaps of potential, but not quite there

*2025-01-02*

This app could be super convenient, especially as I do most of my art work on my ipad, however it has way too many issues, buts and lags for it to be a pleasant experience at the moment. Some issues involve: unresponsive with the apple pencil at times, certain elements freezing (the screen/drawing) and lagging a lot. Hoping it gets updated soon!

### 3/5 — No directions

*2024-12-28, version 2.1.1*

Thank goodness for YouTube or I would have never even started a project using the iPad app.

### 5/5 — Xtool p2

*2024-11-09, version 2.1.1*

It was a dream for me to have a cutting machine 🥹 and with xtool every thing is easy to use ❤️ Ilove it so much

### 5/5 — XTool M1 Ultra - I Just Amazed Myself

*2024-11-08, version 2.1.1*

Who’d Have Known How Easy It Can Be To Transfer A Photo To Wood?! Absolutely Wonderful Creativity With The Help Of xTool M1 Ultra.

### 3/5 — Eh

*2024-11-04, version 2.1.1*

Don’t care for the new layout.  Can we PLEASE be able to bypass the connect nag screen?  I usually run projects from my PC but I would like to be able to just work on ideas on my iPad without having to turn on and connect to the laser.

### 4/5 — Apple pencil hover over icons to see name of tool

*2024-07-29, version 2.0.4*

Add the hover feature that have the ipads with m2 chip and forward that so when you put the apple pencil over the icons it shows the name of the tool and make it more magic trackpad friendly

### 5/5 — Scary, but amazing

*2024-07-25, version 2.0.4*

This is my first time using a laser, which is quite scary, however this software is amazing.
My first item turned out brilliantly, a black business card with our companies art deco emblem and our company name.
Can’t wait to experiment with other items!

### 2/5 — Good attempt but not there yet

*2024-07-23, version 2.0.4*

Don’t bother with the android version, its nowhere near the PC one. Now on the IPad you will get the closest to the PC version as you can get but there are limitations. First don’t expect to use a connected physical keyboard to do anything more than type. For example moving objects using arrow keys, undo etc. They will not work. So you have to rely on your steady fingers when moving stuff. Also the tracing algorithm is not very intuitive compare to something like Lightburn. Even the simplest three color images it has a problem with. Maybe in the following updates this will get better but i find myself having to edit certain things in lightburn then bringing it over to Creative space. Hope this changes soon. Update: lost a star because the trace portion is now useless.

### 1/5 — Cannot access F2Ultra

*2026-06-10, version 2.1.1*

Cannot access F2 Ultra from this app.  Cannot access from studio app either

### 1/5 — Don’t sync properly

*2026-01-03, version 2.1.1*

Don’t sync

### 1/5 — Improve p3 use for iPad

*2025-12-27, version 2.1.1*

This app isn’t functional when trying to use the ipad for the p3. Also, cloudshare also is garbage. I can’t use on my ipad or share the design with my PC.

### 1/5 — Great on pc, not on the iPad

*2025-12-09, version 2.1.1*

I use the software on my computer to create all the designs and program settings, however when I save the project to my space it does not show up on my iPad. I need to use the iPad to run the machine so I can continue working on projects on my computer. This app is useless if you are unable to seamlessly transfer designs through the built in cloud

### 1/5 — App Does NOT Work

*2025-11-14, version 2.1.1*

App will not go beyond the start screen.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2025-10-06, version 2.1.1*

Can’t use in conjunction with desktop app. I can’t design a file on the computer and then use my iPad to start engraving. And I can’t design a simple file on my iPad and then continue it onto the computer not to mention it doesn’t work with the new machines. They have put out like the f2 ultra

### 1/5 — So dangerous it should not be on the App Store

*2025-07-08, version 2.1.1*

This app is dangerous. It’s hard to even describe the behavior it’s so irresponsibly poorly coded. Files have no meaning in this app. Open a file created from the desktop app in a shared location. Make changes and save. Open the file from ‘recents’ in the app and your changes are there. Open the original file (on app or desktop) and ALL CHANGES ARE LOST. Without warning all your work is lost. Now you have two files with different info. Repeating variations of this process will continue to produce more duplicate files. Apple should remove this app for the benefit of users. Zero integrity.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect

*2024-11-25, version 2.1.1*

No way to connect to my unit. It only yells me to connect but can’t find any way to do it. Only “mobile” version gives me the option and that version obviously isn’t robust.

### 1/5 — Version 2 interface is garbage

*2024-07-27, version 2.0.4*

The new interface is horrible on the iPad. It doesn’t register touch, sometimes I have to click a close button 5x until it registers. You can’t find anything. Things have become really convoluted and things have become complicated to create, edit, and output. I am very disappointed. The only thing I give it is that now you can save custom settings.

### 1/5 — How to ruin a good app!

*2024-07-17, version 2.0.4*

I was using this app instead of lightburn for it’s simple and intuitive design. Unfortunately, the last update completely trashed the app. What was once simple and straightforward is now ridiculously confusing and totally unintuitive. Thankfully, on one of my ipads I still have the old version so I will use that for as long as i can and just ignore the constant nags to update. Developers… please think again, or at least give people an option to rollback to the decent version of this app!

Fantastic machine. I am so happy we took the plunge and got this.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-05-05, version 2.1.1*

Having watched you tube videos where a nutty woman kept telling us we needed a camera or use your phone, I used the x tool creative software to produce an excellent piece of engraving in less than 10 minutes. This machn is awesome.

### 5/5 — Completed five things

*2026-04-24, version 2.1.1*

Just stated using the M1. Definitely easier than I thought it would be.

### 5/5 — iPad - The best tool for xTool

*2025-12-26, version 2.1.1*

The phone, then I switched to the iPad app, so much better. The iPad creative space app allows you to use the camera in the X tool ultra.

### 5/5 — The P2S and The AP2 = Powerhouse

*2025-06-20, version 2.1.1*

Wow, do these machines work great, along with the Excellent XCS.  Thank you xTool for such great products.

So far I have created items for test and play.  I am loving this machine.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2025-06-13, version 2.1.1*

First time ever using this or anything like it other than 3D printing but this was super quick and is definitely recommended

### 5/5 — Xtool P2S

*2025-01-18, version 2.1.1*

Wow!! This is amazing asset to have as crafter and small business owners. My creativity has a machine that can actually make all the things that I dreamed about designing. Definitely glad I invested into Xtool. Looking forward to enjoying my business grow with P2S and F1 lasers. Best Buy of 2025

### 5/5 — Sing In The Shower

*2024-11-15, version 2.1.1*

Loved the speed it was long enough for me to have a nice sing in the shower and also put my pj’s on so yeah five stars
