If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t pay to unlock the full app; in fact, I would have not used it again at all. Since buying it months ago, I’ve tried using it twice. I say “tried” because it is not intuitive, even with the words for some of the functions. I’m nowhere near a novice when it comes to computers and apps (I grew up using them), but the icons don’t always do a great job of explaining what the functions do (yes, I did the tutorial, but I feel like I need to do it again to remember), and the motions are janky when you want to adjust them, even when using an Apple Pencil in an attempt to get smoother responses.

It’s not at all fun to use, and, worst of all, I just spent several minutes getting my figure just the way I want it, but when I attempted to do a screenshot, it crashed! So, all my work was for nothing. There was a different, similar tool like this that made me stumble on this one, but there’s no iPad app for it, so I got this alternative. I regret it.

I like the app well enough, it can be finicky and confusing, but I’ve used it before to the point that I decided to buy the objects so I could work on hand positions.

The hands are gigantic, don’t fit on the model, can’t be resized, and even if you manage to resize the model to fit the hands and adjust the light and everything else, they still don’t work or attach to the model in any way.

The website says “uniform scale” (resizing) can be used on any object, but this isn’t true for hands at least. The search box for help topics gives zero results for hands. The tutorial section titled “hands” links to a 404 error.

I paid $8 for access to a model with fingers and other hand details, or a way to attach them to the model. Not only am I out $8, but I also wasted a bunch of time trying to find some kind of remotely helpful support for this app.

The free version itself is fine, by this point there are probably better options but it’s worth a try. Just be warned before you spend $ to unlock anything else that the app only has giant, bodiless, severed hands available.

Has a lot of great features but major things holding it back. For one is the UI. This UI does not feel or function in a modern simplified way. It’s also not elegant or pleasing to the eye. So you have both a UI and UX issue holding the software back from being truly great. The UI and UX is poor. The models should also have posable hands and fingers option, and when using the stick figure mode when multiple models are in the camera the other should not change to black making it impossible to see! You guys have implemented a lot of things I have wanted to see in a 3D reference app, and it has a lot of big potential. If you fix some of these things it can be great. Should also consider adding models made up of boxes only.
