User Reviews

Reviews laud Onshape's mobile availability and free feature set for quick viewing, lightweight edits, and on-the-go sketches, with strong synergy to the PC web version. However, users repeatedly cite a clunky UI, poor mobile UX, and missing/awkward features (axis systems, toolbars, shortcuts, value edits). Onboarding friction and sign-in issues, plus dependence on internet connectivity and occasional stability problems, further limit mobile use, especially on older devices.

Pros

Works well on iPhone/iPad and supports on-the-go modeling.
Free with a full feature set, appealing to hobbyists.
Useful for quick design reviews, small edits, and sharing models on mobile.
Mobile app complements the PC web version, enabling continued work away from a computer.
Good for quick sketches and reference tasks, including on-site or 3D printing prep.

Cons

Clunky UI and workflows; interface breaks regularly and controls are not intuitive.
Heavy reliance on internet; limited offline functionality; not ideal for offline work.
Onboarding and sign-in friction on mobile; accounts and access can be problematic.
Mobile feature gaps: axis systems, toolbars customization, keyboard shortcuts, value edits are missing or awkward.
Stability issues and compatibility problems: requires newer iOS, crashes, and occasional sign-in/out issues.

I was trying this app in parallel with Shapr3d. Honestly, Shapr3d is so good! It just doesn’t have an assembly design system. So, I ultimately went with Onshape. Shapr3d is pretty expensive too. But, I hope the developers of this app incorporate some of the nice things that are in Shapr3d. Also, Some features are missing from the app (like transparency), but luckily I can just open the website in the iPad Safari app. I’m optimistic for this app’s future. One more thing, it would be amazing if the app could highlight things when the apple pencil is hovering over it. (BTW, objects do highlight if I use the website on Safari iPad app)
