## Description

Metaspace is a powerful 3D sketchbook that lets you draw in three dimensions on an infinitely expanding canvas. Create ideas, concept sketches, and notes using pressure- and tilt-sensitive pencils, pens, and markers. It fully supports Apple Pencil and responsive multi-touch input for navigating your 3D space.

Switch to AR mode to walk inside your drawings, import 3D scans (.usdz) and other files, and craft animated walkthroughs. Navigate with familiar gestures, explore your creativity, and bring 3D concepts to life.

## Review summary

Metaspace is viewed as generally functional with a promising direction, but faces recurring pains that deter adoption. Repeated issues include monetization and paywalls for basic actions, reliability problems, and canvas-loading difficulties. Users also report brush/cursor offset and a limited toolset, with calls for snapping, copy/paste, and better docs. Despite positives about overall functionality and some features (like 3D sketching and the pencil tool), the reviews indicate a need for updates and improvements to reach broader satisfaction.

### Pros

- Generally functional and usable; reviewers note it works and has potential.
- Positive about the app's vision and direction, with openness to future updates.
- 3D sketching capability is appreciated by some users.
- Pencil tool and floating panels are valued by at least some reviewers.

### Cons

- Monetization/paywall concerns: in-app purchases are seen as steep or unclear, with basic actions or re-entry requiring payment.
- Reliability issues: users report the app sometimes doesn’t work or behaves unreliably.
- Canvas opening/startup problems: multiple reviews mention being unable to open a canvas or start drawing.
- Brush/cursor offset and misalignment: the drawing brush or cursor can be offset from touch or drift.
- Limited drawing tools/feature gaps: requests for more tools (e.g., snapping, copy/paste) and better documentation; perceived lack of essential features.
