## Review summary

Reviews show mixed sentiment with a divide between positive users and critics. The three most cited issues are subscription-based access for basic features, app instability (crashes), and lack of a free DWG viewer option along with compatibility and UX concerns. A subset of reviewers still praises the app as a usable CAD/DWG viewer when it works. Overall, the app has potential but pricing and reliability problems dominate user sentiment.

### Pros

- Several reviewers express positive feelings about the app (e.g., "I love this application", "wow", "Good", "nice").
- The app provides CAD/DWG viewing capabilities that some users find useful.
- A portion of users have a favorable impression when the product works as intended.

### Cons

- Subscription is required for basic tools (drawing a line), which many reviews describe as paying for essential features.
- Frequent crashes and reliability issues.
- No longer a free DWG viewer option; perceived price/value concerns.
- Compatibility problems: inability to open some AutoCAD/DWG drawings.
- Poor mobile UX and input issues: not intuitive on mobile, keyboard/input problems, and trial experience.
