ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

3D Printing Thingiverse Models holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KOKONI3D has 25 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of KOKONI3D's written reviews are positive against 0% of 3D Printing Thingiverse Models's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

KOKONI3D ships an update every 3 weeks, 3D Printing Thingiverse Models every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
