Review summary

Recurring themes show users valued cross-site search and a broad model catalog, using the app daily for safe 3D prints. However, issues appear across multiple reviews: degraded or removed cross-site search, missing dark mode, missing thumbnails/previews, poor syncing of follows, UI glitches, notification spam, and a shift toward monetization. These recurring problems dominate the feedback, limiting discovery and UX despite some positive sentiment about the app’s usefulness.

Pros

Cross-site search/aggregation was a key feature that many users valued
Used daily; described as a go-to resource for safe 3D prints
Broad catalog of 3D models from multiple sites

Cons

Search functionality degraded or lost cross-site search; current search is broken or underperforming
No dark mode and readability issues (white background, white-on-white text)
Images/thumbnails not loading or absent (no previews, slow loading)
Following/viewing followers not visible or sync with website is broken
UI glitches and instability (titles/links grey out, landscape resets, random crashes)
Notifications can be spammy (excessive alerts/emails)
Monetization shift toward markets/subscriptions detracts from community/free-model focus

2026-02-26	An*****	uninstalling, sad to see Thangs go =( This was a GREAT aggregator of models from all the printing sites, now that searching cross-site is gone from the app I'm going back to using Yeggi.
