"The precision I get with the offset controls is unmatched. I can finally draft detailed site plans on my iPad without my hand obstructing the view. Plus, the native support for feet and inches is a massive time-saver for my US-based architectural projects."
"iDesign has replaced my desktop CAD software for most of my maker projects. The SVG export works flawlessly with my CNC machine, and the snapping tools ensure every joint in my woodworking designs is perfectly aligned before I even touch a saw."
Insights from user reviews.
Sentiment Score
Summary
The app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to its abrupt transition to a subscription-based model. Many long-term users who had previously purchased the app outright feel betrayed, describing the change as a "scam" or "theft" as they can no longer access their work or full functionality without subscribing. Users also expressed frustration over the inability to revert to an older, paid version. Despite this controversy, some users acknowledge the app's strong capabilities for 2D technical drawings, its useful features, and well-designed interface, with at least one user reporting great developer support. However, others pointed out functionality gaps like poor palm rejection, issues with object snapping, and a lack of direct measurement input.
