ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Printing 3D holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AirCoaster has 222 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of AirCoaster's written reviews are positive against 0% of Printing 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AirCoaster ships an update monthly, Printing 3D every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
