Ratings and reviews

It's a mobile CAD app, so expectations were not that high. It seems pretty hard to actually do any designing in it, but for viewing, checking measurements, etc. it's nice. It seems like a great place to work in featureScript though! I would totally work on features while waiting for the bus or in random downtime without my laptop. Onshape people, please consider adding this!

No tooltips in Android app. This makes it very hard to use and extremely slow to learn. I would have thought the Android app version would be richer than the web version, but it seems rough around the edges. I'm trying to use it in Samsung Dex on a touchscreen tablet, and it's just not quite usable. I can use only the browser version.

This is the best 3D drafting app on the market! If you're used to a system like solidworks, try this. My only gripe is how easy it is to lose progress on a draft by clicking "back" on your phone, clicking the back arrow on the top left of the screen, or the little X on the bottom right of the screen. If there was a little popup that asked "do you want to discard this drawing?" It would be literally perfect. I only bring that up because I've mistouched these buttons and lost hours of work.
