Review summary

The app is praised for usable lightweight sketching and CAD-like functions by some users, but widespread usability problems—hard controls, intrusive ads and paywalls, no autosave, disruptive prompts, and sparse editing features—make the experience frustrating for many and undermine its potential.

Pros

Positive overall sentiment with multiple reviewers expressing enthusiasm (e.g., 'I love it', 'excellent', 'amazing').
Useful for quick, simple sketches and design references (DIY projects, art references).
Perceived as one of the better CAD sketch apps available in its niche.
Core drawing/CAD features are usable and valued by some users.

Cons

Terrible or difficult controls, with issues tapping and dragging pieces and general UI navigation.
Constant ads and paywalls that prevent trying features before purchase.
No autosave leading to data loss and session resets without recovery.
Annoying in-app prompts (rate-this-app box) that can get stuck or disrupt work.
Limited editing capabilities and missing essential CAD features on mobile (e.g., cannot edit a single object).
