Create and manipulate beautiful polyhedrons without any mathematical knowledge needed.  With many patterns, transformations, and color schemes to combine, you can create thousands of stunning visual combinations you may save as still or animated images. Best, see your creations alive around you thanks to Augmented Reality. Polyhedra is an application to represent and manipulate polyhedrons using Conway’s notation. You can apply Conway’s transformations to a seed polyhedron chosen from the Platonic solids (tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron), prisms, and antiprisms. Supported transformations are: ambo, bevel, chamfer, dual, expand, gyro, join, kis, lace, loft, meta, ortho, propellor, quinto, snub, stake, subdivide, triangulate, and truncate. Most important of all, no mathematics knowledge is needed to enjoy.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Think 3D at Free against Polyhedra 3D's $1.99. Think 3D also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (45 vs 4). Polyhedra 3D's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Polyhedra 3D holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Think 3D has 45 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Think 3D's written reviews are positive against 75% of Polyhedra 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Think 3D ships an update monthly, Polyhedra 3D every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on August 26, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
