## Review summary

Users appreciate the app as a fun and quick way to discover 3D models with minimal invasiveness from ads. However, many face problems with intrusive full-screen ads, loading issues where models fail to display, difficulties signing into or creating accounts, and outdated or repetitive model listings. Suggested improvements include better ad management, improved stability and login features, and adding functionality like bulk export or a web portal for saved models.

### Pros

- Nice and useful app for discovering 3D models.
- Quick and fun way to browse models, sometimes better than browsing Thingiverse.
- Not heavily invasive ads, maintaining main functionality without much interruption.
- Great source of inspiration and fun when looking for models to print.
- Allows saving and managing lists of potential print items.

### Cons

- Frequent ads, including full-screen ads that some find intrusive or sketchy.
- App sometimes fails to load models, showing blank screens or stuck loading endlessly.
- Account creation and login issues, including failed Facebook login and unusable email login page.
- Lack of features like bulk export of saved models or web portal to access saved lists.
- Model listings can be outdated or repetitive, showing models no longer available on linked websites.
