## Review summary

Users cite solid viewing/s sharing capabilities and helpful touch navigation as positives, but reliability is a major problem. Frequent crashes/black screens, inconsistent file-format support, licensing issues, a clunky UI, and poor handling of large files are the most mentioned drawbacks. Improvements in stability, format compatibility, and license management would address the primary user pain points.

### Pros

- OK for viewing downloaded SolidWorks part models and drawings.
- Great for sending client drawings on the go.
- Panning with two fingers works well.
- Good value for money.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes or black screen prevent normal use.
- Does not reliably open common file formats; support for STEP sometimes works but many formats fail (e.g., sldprt, sldasm, .sat, .step).
- Licensing/account issues; app reports not licensed or requires re-purchasing or license transfer problems.
- Clunky UI/UX; not easy to use.
- Poor performance with large assemblies/large STEP files.
