Not a free viewer - need their paid Cloud Account
I have several dxf files for grinder plates I am trying to review. I do not own a CAD system and this app shows no cost, and several web sites think this is a free app. This app is not free and is basically useless if you do not register and sign up on their cloud (for a fee).
Avoid this App
Sounds great, but trying to navigate through all the pop-ups the commercials and the scam Links.
It’s just not worth it

Unsure
Been sent a couple dwg. And when I try to open them it said it’s not supported when the person that sent it had it opened on their app on their phone.
Don’t waste your time and money!!!! Super dishonest. Won’t work.
Don’t waste your time and money!!!!
I first got the free version of the app because I wanted to see a 3-D drawing. But the first time I try to open up a drawing it said I had to upgrade to a premium account. It said I would be able to see the drawing, I needed to look at as soon as I upgraded it. There was no trial. To see if it worked.
As soon as I upgraded to the premium version and try to open the same exact file and now tells me I need to upgrade to the super premium version for even more money. No free trial with the super premium version and no guarantee it will open the file.
What a horrible company that will force you to pay for something ahead of time without letting you know if it even works. It seems like every step of the way they just want to charge more money before even letting me try the app.
They even listed the file types that the program would work with before I downloaded the app. But they just keep making me upgrade to try and open the file that I have still not been able to open with.
I recommend going to the free version of 3-D PDF because it worked the first time and it was free

这个app真的做了机型适配吗？
顶部返回键和几个功能键不是快溢出屏幕了就是被灵动岛遮挡住，你们做机型适配了嘛？
太次了 里边都是广告

Difficult to use on an iPad
Just not happy with a used after a short period of time.
Spam
The app tries to trick you into paying, careful not to accept sudden popup windows
Used to be ok
Having using it just for viewing for sometime, then somehow the simple measuring feature cost money. Well not that I don’t think it make sense to pay some money for using, but just for this simple features(maybe difficult to make I don’t know), that money just doesn’t make sense
Terrible appp
Does not allow you to set directory and open existing files. Worthless. DO NOT USE!!!!!
👎👎👎👎
I hate it
Not easy to use
I was so confused about what was happening that I deleted after 15 minutes. This is not easy.
Cobro indebido

New update is plain awful purely greedy for money
Its extremely awful this new recent update, I wish I was able to revert back to the previous version. Why the heck did you make text/object - move, rotate, scaling, etc…. also text editing all that is now only a paid feature??? What? All those basic features were always free. You just ruined the application feeling pretty much useless and I rarely ever write and give a low rating review but this money greedy update definitely deserves the low rating. Please I highly suggest to revert these new changes back to how they were before. These were basic options and now they are locked behind a paywall for absolutely no reason making it useless on everything using the application on the free side.
Yep another crap subscription
Have actually used this free app for quite a few years. Even provided feedback to help the developer improve it. Not a pro, not to make money, just a hobbyist. I used to find it fairly useful, but not $47 a year, every year, useful… They used to sell a standalone app, As of late each upgrade they have done to it has shut down another basic command, basically rendering it useless. I would pay a reasonable fee for an app, but I will not do a subscription… well on to something else or back to auto-cad on my PC…
Can’t even try out the app without a load of subscriptions
When I tried to run the app I couldn’t even load a single DWG file without signing up for a subscription.
Latest update ruined the app for me
I used this app to occasionally convert my DWG files to pdf so I could email my drawings to people who needed an easy way to view them. I made the mistake of updating to the newest version. The export to pdf is now a paid only feature. I didn’t mind the adds to be able to use the feature I needed, but I can’t justify paying for a feature that I only use a few times a year.
No follow up from developer ...
Paid for a Subscription and it still shows that i dont have one, however it has been charged to my apple account. Emailed the developer and still no reply as how to fix..... A great app in my opinion starts a with “Customer” support.
App
Open app can not get off without updating.
Just another BS subscription!
Just another crappy CAD app that requires you to pay an ridiculous subscription to be able to utilize even the simplest functions, like measurements! How the hell are you supposed to draw accurately if you can’t input specific sizes? I would like to be able to try out the full program without having to sign up for some thing first and would pay for an app that has decent functionality for CAD drawing. However, I cannot stand the subscription business model that so many of these greedy companies are going to nowadays and I refuse to “register” to be able to try an app! I want to be able to purchase the app if I want it and use it on my device forever. I don’t want to be held hostage by a subscription program that will tangle up my files if I end the subscription. I have been burned in the past by using such programs and it just leaves me completely disgusted with the entire subscription software model!
开了会员才发现，ipad妙控键盘不能放大缩小
靠
Good but heading to bad
The app used to be good but now I need premium to change color and edit the text I add to the drawing.
Paid features
This App works great but the paid features I purchased do not link to my app. Very disappointed
Privacy issues
Why do this app keep copying text from the clipboard? This is definitely a serious privacy issue.
