SketchUp - 3D Modeling
authentic ratingFor pros this is full SketchUp on an iPad, and those who actually work in it love the power and the price versus desktop. But newcomers are put off by a steep learning curve, and everyone is annoyed that it sits as «free» while without a 20-dollar-a-month plan you can only view, not create. Recent reviews also flag constant crashes and getting stuck in group-editing mode.
Reviews are specific and professional: complaints about getting stuck in group editing, crashes on an M3 iPad, missing match photo and geo-location from desktop. Fives come from people it genuinely sped up. The 4.46 vs 1.77 gap is mostly one-stars for paywall, not for quality.
