## Review summary

Most reviews are negative, focusing on pricing and paywalls rather than features. Users say the app is free to download but forces a subscription to create or export, with prices cited as $50/year, $49.99/year, $99.99, or $500/month. Many label this paywall as misleading and describe the approach as greedy. Additional criticisms include poor usability and missing core features (e.g., image-to-3D, export), making the app effectively unusable without paying.

### Pros

- Free to download / initial access without payment.

### Cons

- Paywall to create or use the app; you must pay to start a project.
- High, subscription-only pricing with inconsistent amounts (e.g., $50/year, $49.99/year, $99.99, $500/month).
- No free options or trial; no one-time purchase option.
- Paywall/price labeling described as misleading; App Store shows free but requires payment.
- Missing essential features or limited functionality (e.g., cannot upload an image to turn into 3D; exporting your creations requires payment; overall usability is poor).
