AutoCAD for Negative User Reviews
✓ A year later, and it’s a new low.Take everything from my last review, now add that I renewed my “premium” subscription just to loose all my current drawings, and get a beta version of the app.. This must be a joke.. I found an old version of a drawing I can work with, but the settings change of background color doesn’t do anything. Hence it’s stuck on black, and I’m effectively colorblind now, and have to halt the project. These guys are famous for their lack of support, so I think I just dumped $50 down the drain, and the drawing I was expected to finish this week is dead in the water. Thanks guys! Tell me more about you full OS version again....Version: 4.4.34
✓ Too risky for my moneyI downloaded this app and paid for a one year subscription. Then I found that it doesn’t do everything that’s described in the Help files. When I contacted AutoDesk about this, I was told in an e-mail that “we have temporarily limited functionality of the latest release”. This means that I paid to use an app according to the description and they removed many of those features (ability to paste an image into a project, ability to export in .pdf format, compatibility with the Leica Disto measured, etc.) The app is now useless to me. What developer removes functionality without notice and without compensation? How do I know that this won’t happen again? It’s not worth the risk..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Not free. Laborious sign in procedureIf looking something free just to view a cad file avoid this. 7 day free trial and then paying monthly thereafter. I only found this out after spending 10 mins laboriously trying to create an account. For some reason a very strict password is needed (which doesn’t even save to your apple keychain) along with email verification and signing in all over again. A waste of life and now they have all my info.Version: 6.0.1
✓ Lost functionalityI have been using the mobile app for a couple of years and have found it very useful. This latest iteration is a disaster and I yam no longer able to produce meaningful drawings with it due to the awful input process and the loss of functions the previous version had. You should roll back the version until you have sorted out the various functions if they do not work with this latest version and sort out the method of entering line lengths and angles. This version is terrible..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Without accurate ApplePencil support...This app is fine as a dwg viewer, but pretty useless for drawing in the field. You have to select what shape you are drawing before you draw it (unlike the original version), and then when you touch the pencil to the screen, the starting point for your line or box or whatever, is offset from the point of the pencil, which makes it impossible to draw anything with any accuracy. Text input from the keyboard is a different paradigm than the desktop app, and using a trackpad has the same offset inaccuracies as the pencil. If you are looking for a useful CAD program on an iPad, this isn’t it..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Before launching a new version ........ it should be complete and tested. I cannot edit my existing drawings appropriately since many features are missing because of the update. Frustrating when fast-tracking drawings. Is there no way to revert to previous version until the newer version is fully ready ?.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Unusable for draftingA few years ago this app was amazing, now it is essentially unusable, except for viewing files. I’m a teacher, and it can’t be used in class anymore. So many bugs to mention, including some recent iterations not even allowing measurements to be input when creating a line or shape. The biggest issue right now is the broken object snap feature—it simply doesn’t work anymore. Trying to centre a rectangle exactly in the middle of another rectangle is seemingly impossible. Why did development of this app go by the wayside? It is clear that Autodesk have dropped the ball on this since changing it to ‘AutoCAD Mobile’..Version: 4.4.35
✓ Can’t even print!How is it that in 2021, AutoCAD can’t even print. It can’t even publish to PDF. This is pathetic!.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Can’t go without this onsite but extremely frustrating.If the app didn’t crash all the time and have issues saving and the file management wasn’t the worst.... then it would be awesome..Version: 5.6.3
✓ Hilariously underpoweredWhat an insult to the professional community. This is advertised as a true mobile drafting and CAD solution. It is not. You can not change the text size of your dimensions lines. This alone means the app should have been considered unshippable. What is the point of cad software THAT DOESN’T ALLOW YOU TO COMMUNICATE MEASUREMENTS. The Apple Pencil support is comically bad, and misrepresented in the company sales materials. There is not “smart pen” function. Good luck finding a straight answer to that tho - it took me almost 4 hours online. Your ability to manipulate objects and layers is SEVERELY limited in comparison to the desktop version. There is no Spline Command, there is no champher, there is no ability to edit control points whatsoever. There is no support for Blocks. You can’t reference Block libraries, you can’t edit block definitions. Again, misrepresented in the literature and 0 clarifications in the official documentation. This is a .dwg viewer that you can scribble on with your Apple Pencil..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Styles featureWill there be better stylus support in the future? I see other reviews say that it was removed from the more recent version. My iPad Pro is now my main computer, I love it over a desktop for the stylus. I’m hoping it was removed only to perfect it. Current version 5.5.0..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Confused.Why is it not possible to even offset lines? I’m sorry but what do you image people will use this app for? If you fix the app in the future please let me know because I’d really like to design some houses on my tablet but this won’t help me as it currently is..Version: 5.0.8
✓ Doesn’t show it’s a paid app until you make an account…I went through the trouble of downloading the app, creating an account, verify it… and it’s a paid app with 7 day trial. Waste of time and effort..Version: 5.7.6
✓ Almost LESS than useful.I feel like this app used to have some useful functionality but my memory is hazy. If there is any review on here that says they actually use this app it must be fake. I am and architect and use the Mac version daily. The mobile version is included in my subscription so I thought I would I revisit this app after a long time away to possibly use it for field measuring existing houses for use in drawing up remodels. I couldn’t draw anything accurately much less a single room. I tried to even come up up with workarounds or cheats but the absolute lack of functionality is beyond comprehension. I felt compelled to review this app to save anyone from paying money for using it. Maybe one day we will actually get the fabled “new version” so many review responses claim are coming. Until then, look elsewhere friends..Version: 5.0.7
✓ Need fill or hatchGreat tool but need a fill or hatch option to complete all my plans, stuck with desktop till this appears :(.Version: 4.4.28
✓ Updated Version almost unusableI was using this app about 18 months ago and it was great. I paid for another subscription and found many functions no longer worked correctly in the new version. The “Edit vertex” option has completely disappeared. You used to be able to specify the value of distance/length/position when modifying/moving things, but now it just lands where you drag it so it’s impossible to be accurate. The mirror object function has also disappeared. I have immediately canceled my subscription until the app is restored to full functionality..Version: 5.0.6
✓ Can't log in anymore!The app is a bit disappointing for an iPad Pro app, but it does the job. However, I can't even log in because the pop-up window asks for my email then remains stuck on that page, it won't let me put in my password at all. I can't use the app..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Great ideaI love that they made an app for autocad. I personally find it easier to use autocad on a computer, so I’ll probably only use this for small changes. The problem that I had with this is actually that I signed in with my student account, which is free, and the app still keeps telling me to upgrade. I’m fine with paying the $5/month if the student account doesn’t work with the app, but I don’t really see why it wouldn’t work. I emailed support and they just referred me to the “education community”..Version: 4.4.11
✓ Today’s update.When I saw there was a update today, I felt that Autocad had read the reviews and were going to put thing right. But NO lol. What a bunch of losers. Still no direct entry keyboard. I bet I get the same reply to this post about this version being enhanced and more like the desktop version. LISTEN, it is crap. I said they would reply with one of their standard reply's. I don’t think they even read these..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Unusable App For It’s Sole PurposeI use an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil 2 to edit and draft drawings and after the latest update 5 months ago, this app was rendered useless. I can no longer draw anything efficiently since the geniuses at Autocad removed the numeric dialogue box that would pop up when drawing a line, or selecting a line to edit. Now you must enter the dimensions and direction of any object you are drawing before you have even used your pencil to create a line. After you’ve created a line, there’s no way to edit the line by correcting the dimensions using a numeric dialogue box like before. Now, you only have the option to stretch an existing object and eyeball the correct dimension. USELESS DEVELOPERS HAVE LEFT PAYING CUSTOMERS OUT TO DRY FOR 5 MONTHS NOW WITHOUT A FIX!.Version: 5.0.5
✓ Leica functionality gone?!I find it absolutely crazy in this day and age that an update can be rolled out to professional users, relying on this software for day to day tasks, installing updates (otherwise we can’t use the app anyway) to then find out in the field that the functions we are used to and require on a daily basis have been taken away. A couple of weeks ago the update caused an issue that prevented downloaded/offline files from being accessed unless connected to a WiFi network, completely going against the point of having offline files and today, in front of clients, I can no longer use my Leica measure to input measurements. Absolutely diabolical..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Contacted CEOI contacted CEO on the disaster that is the update and the disgraceful responses on this and to put it bluntly they are not bothered. Won’t be reverting back to the previous update and tried to get me to have a FaceTime call with them I America to find out what the issues were - I really don’t think they use the app and just have blinkers on trying to make it like the desktop version. The updates have ruined my business as it’s made all of my drawing useless now. So frustrating..Version: 5.0.5
✓ DisappointedWhen they first brought this app out it was great then for some reason they changed how the apple pen works with it and removed a bunch of the tools in order to use it properly and now for the last year I have been finding this app totally useless and will be deleting it if thing don’t get better. I used to prefer working in the app for drawings even better than on the desk top version since I could use it from home and in a comfy chair or bed. Not now. Very disappointed. Wish it would just go back to the first version they had..Version: 5.1.2
✓ Paid subscription and the app doesn’t recogniseI am struggling with this app, I already paid the premium and when I want to use it i can’t because the app doesn’t recognise the subscription and keep asking to upgrade, and when I go to upgrade it shows I already have a premium it’s first time to face such an issue and I don’t expect this to be with AutoCAD.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Not for drawingMaybe it’s fine to view drawings but it lacks even the simple functionality of drawing an ellipse, not worth $$$.Version: 6.0.1
✓ External reference missing errorThis app was working fine however the update absolutely destroyed this app. iPad Pro takes a lot longer and the control bar is not even accessible anymore. Can anyone please assist..Version: 5.0.1
✓ PoorCrash in 5 seconds, after I have opened file dwg. So dispointed.Version: 5.6.3
✓ Developers need to be sacked.I subscribed to premium. Cumbersome app but I need it. Spend hours creating drawings then moved the drawing into a sub folder only for the drawing to be corrupted. As far as I concerned Autodesk owe me lost time or just let me come to their work place and waste their time..Version: 4.3.13
✓ It's good but...It has _many_ limitations. Works great as a viewer for basic vector drawings, but very clunky for editing and plotting, esp. compared to the desktop version. The plotting is totally broken for xref images, repeating commands is tedious, 3D is basically a no-go. It's understandable that it has to jettison the full functionality of express tools, lisp routines, add-ons etc. And they've done well to squeeze a highly robust package into a small touchscreen device. But for me it's untenable to use this beyond the trial period for the price asked, there's just too many deficiencies..Version: 4.4.15
✓ Very poor after updateUpdate December 2019 Recent update Version 5.0.2 Still useless with the same issues as below. Don’t purchase this product until fixed as it completely unusable on and ipad with a pencil. Old version 4.4 was excellent version 5 is unusable. After the most recent update easy things like selecting radius of the circle has been a very hard. The most recent update has made this app almost unusable. Even something as simple as your measuring from one object to another is hard to program snaps to the wrong place. Also when I zoom in now the grid doesn’t rescale for example when I used to zoom in on a 5 mm grid Square it would have five lines depicting 1 mm each further I Zoomin agreed with the repopulating this function is now gone..Version: 5.0.2
✓ GarbageYou try and the free addition and it’s a fantastic program. Upgrade to premium and it will not transfer over from the free trail (which expires). Check the support page and what do you know, everyone has the issue with no help and/or refund. Thanks for wasting my time and money AutoCAD 🖕🏻.Version: 4.4.17
✓ UsefulUseful for quick drawings on the job site, as well as viewing plans on site and getting a closer look. Tutorials could be more thorough. Google Sketchup tutorials were much more helpful and thorough for rudimentary use..Version: 4.4.1
✓ Useless appWhy can’t you cancel the free trial? Wanted to see how it was, it’s awful beyond useless and now I find you can’t even cancel? Talk about dodgy. Don’t even trial this app you will be stuck..Version: 6.4.0
✓ Manque de fonctionnalitésCette application serait vraiment pratique pour éditer des dessins sur iPad, si seulement certaines fonctions étaient ajoutées. la principale étant Strecth. C’est une omission importante. Je l’achèterais volontiers si cette fonction y était prévue..Version: 5.7.6
✓ No Disto pluginJust gone out and purchased a Leica Disto d2 measuring tool as I saw it can work with autocad mobile but to my surprise I can’t seem to use it. I’m thinking it’s been removed can someone let me know?.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Autocad-mobileKeep the gps working.Version: 5.7.4
✓ No command bar??Very disappointed in downloading this app only to find out it has not command bar and only works for viewing existing documents and creating free-handed plans. I was looking to use this app as a primary source for schoolwork and it turned out to be a dud. next update, please give us the command bar for full use!!!!!.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Not a replacement for AutoCAD on a laptop.This program is okay, but when you start delving deeper, it’s clear there is very little functionality beyond some basic drafting capabilities. There’s no hatching, no arrays, no filets or chamfer, no line-weights or types. Mirroring does not allow you to delete the original part, as per AutoCAD, so you end up doing a lot of work arounds. So for productivity it is slow. Creating drawings in Layout space is definitely not fun, so exporting to plot is bad. For a company of AutoCADs stature, I would have thought this app would be better. Apple Pencil integration could be improved a lot, and the selection process is very clunky and not terribly intuitive. Often, selecting the wrong line. I’ve been using the app pretty intensively recently to create drawings of houses, but I find myself constantly banging my head against a brick wall. Basically, it’s not a replacement (or anywhere near) for AutoCAD on a laptop..Version: 4.4.21
✓ Don’t botherI tried this app and the free version was ok so I decided to pay for the subscription. After paying for it i tried to use it but it still had the free version at the top of the screen. I checked the subscription in my account and it was active. As i was working away from home at the time i thought it may have been because i was using mobile data and the connection was not so good. I researched the issue and got mixed information saying to get a refund from Apple and others saying to contact the developer, i chose to try and contact the developers through Facebook messenger, no response. I decided i would try again in a couple of weeks once i got home and see if a fibre connection would help the issue, it didn’t, i then decided to contact the App Store which tried to divert me to the developer, tired of that route I requested a refund, it got denied. I would rather have got the app working than get a refund but as it has never worked they have robbed me..Version: 4.4.19
✓ Last UpdateI hate this app since the last update. Horrible to use!.Version: 5.0.0
✓ RubbishThe new update is absolute rubbish and an absolute disaster!!! As soon as iv finished typing this my subscription is being cancelled..Version: 5.1.2
✓ We need be able to print on PDF!!!!I had spent a lot money on dwf apps readers, I’m tired, please please, improve all your apps for us to br able to open drawings on pdf an be able to work on the margins, we as contractors need this on the field, here im a customer if buzzsaw and autodesk, we need a solution to our plataform mac and on the field iphones, I can’t send work orders to my crews, we are customers too, maybe we are some of the contractors that are building yout future house, help!!.Version: 4.4.6
✓ Did not save and ruined my dayDid a drawing of a shaft with multiple bearing seats and sealing surfaces that needed welding build up. The dragging did not save and now I lost all of my dimensions..Version: 5.7.0
✓ AutoCRASHThis app seems to be very unstable and unpredictable. After crashing and freezing several times, I managed to set up an account and look at one of the demo drawings for a few seconds and... CRASH. Since then, I've hard booted my iPhone twice, reinstalled the app and suffered the same results with an added bonus... "Can't connect to WS server, please check your connection". I'm truly guttered... This app could have been an all-time favorite..Version: 0
✓ Several functions have been turned off by developerI purchased the app in order to fulfill a portion of a contract. I downloaded the app only to find out after contacting AutoCAD help center that the keyboard has been turned off because they are developing a new product. The unfortunate thing is... I basically paid twice for the use of the app, once here and once at the AutoCAD website. AutoCAD should refund my money along with several other people, just search for “Autocad mobile keyboard does not work” and you will find numerous other people with issues. I was forced to go with ArcSite.... it works perfectly..Version: 5.0.3
✓ LAGGYAs a surveyor I use this a lot. I find it become laggy and eventually unusable every day between 10am and 14:30 approx. I cannot explain why this is happening but has ruined so many weeks of work now. I have spent hours and tried so many things to try to identify and resolve this but nothing and no support or online advice. It is a shame because when it works well it is a good (usually for my last working hour of the day). However this has cost me so much more in lost time than being a benefit so I don’t plan to renew the subscription. Without an suitable alternative it’s a back step to pen and paper. I’m happy to be assisted as still have a long time till renewal..Version: 5.6.3
✓ Useless since updateThis used to be very good for making simple drawings and site plans but since the update you cannot do the simplest thing please go back to original format it after using and paying for this for several years I’m going to have to cancel its made me look foolish at work as I cant submit simple drawings.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Anyone know how to Plot?Great App! However I don’t have an export button as an option? Using premium. Anyone know how to help?.Version: 4.4.30
✓ Paid subscriber, where are tutorials for current version?Where are some tutorials to get started, support link is broken. I do pretty good with AutoCad Mac 2018, however I need some help on this iPad version. All the links I found on my AutoCad account talk about AutoCad 360. Any links to the mobile tutorial videos are blanked out. Maybe it is because this version is only 3 days old. Very happy AutoCad 2018 Mac user, however I am a total putz on the iPad AutoCad Mobile, I just want to draw some table top chain conveyor path, HELP. Thanks in advance..Version: 5.7.1
✓ UnusableHaving hoped I could use to capture site dimensions directly I cannot find away to type in object sizes, lengths etc. Instead you are forced to drag the line to the correct length which is time consuming. I note this feature should be available with an Apple Pencil. Having tested with an Apple Pencil I still cannot find this feature. Without this basic feature the app is useless..Version: 4.4.34
✓ Love it but missing featuresDrawing is super cool and fast but everything beyond that quickly becomes painful. Hardly ready for production Missing: - layer editing options - block export - scripting I am a fan of the product but would like to see more features, I would be happy to pay more! At the moment Autocad for iOS comes through as an semi-advanced dwg viewer. I love that I can add data to existing drawings but I have to take that back to the workstation to keep the database clean, extra work for nothing. Time cost is too heavy..Version: 4.4.16
✓ Needs work but okIt’s a companion app to full AutoCAD, cannot be used instead of unless you’re drawing very basic 2D. One major flaw is that you cannot change linetype from anything other than continuous?! Good for viewing files created in the full desktop version but not for editing them. It’s not clear why it exists to be honest, not sure of its exact purpose..Version: 4.4.27
✓ OMG!!!I’ve been using this app for a number of years and it’s a great app UNTIL the recent update. What a joke, You guys at Autodesk Inc should know better. It now has become a useless app. This app should be reverted to the previous version..Version: 5.0.0
✓ Support are less than useless. I feel robbedNot sure if anyone lose has had this issue but my app won’t show a keypad when I draw, meaning I can’t set accurate lengths .... basically rendering the app useless. I contacted support and they claimed I was using he new version and only the beta version allowed me to use dimensions. Not only is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard but they also offered no advice on how to load the beta version and ignored my request for a refund if they couldn’t resolve the issue immediately as Iv basically paid for a dud app. I would not expect this from supposedly the worlds best drafting program..Version: 4.4.28
✓ Waste of timeDon’t bother with this app, it simply doesn’t work. To start with it doesn’t even include iCloud Drive support, then to top it off when you finally get into a file it doesn’t let you do anything once an object is selected. Once an object is selected, clicking any of the commands (eg. Move, copy, scale) appears to cause an error, so doesn’t work and immediately cancels your selection. Waste of time. I’m using an iPhone 7+. Would give 0 stars if that was an option..Version: 5.2.0
✓ Not obvious paid appYou need to make it more obvious that this app is only free for 7 day trial. I just want a viewer there is no way I’m going to draw with this..Version: 4.4.31
✓ Work in progressThis app is so nearly there, but lacking important features. It is not possible to draw or move objects relative to others or with definite x,y coordinates. This is essential If you create a prototype drawing on site, or if a drawing is modified on site to reflect exact measurements. There are also no different line types. A pity, I so wanted this app to work, but it is not worth the subscription at the moment..Version: 4.4.6
✓ Close, but still very lacking for the price.This is a great step in the right direction, you can draw most simple objects with the same desktop commands, however, there are a lot of features that just simply don’t work in this version. Dimensions being one of them, there is no way to scale dimensions once a drawing is created, what they are is what you get, might be fine for small designs. But if your drawing is large the dimensions will likely be tiny. Exporting is also made intentionally difficult. I’ve been fighting through this for 2 years now, I’ll likely be moving on..Version: 6.10.0
✓ Not what it seemsI got this for school and it’s almost a waste of scape on my ipad. You can’t draw specific line sizes making this useless to me. The only thing it’s good for is the preset blocks..Version: 5.0.5
✓ Should have made it like desktop version. Why change it?Whoever designed this app needs to understand that AutoCAD users weren’t born in 2000. This app looks very elementary and isn’t the interface most users see on desktop. Why redesign it when experienced users already have had a palette from many years ago. It should have been more seamless transition from desktop to mobile. One of the key features that I am at a loss for is: Ability to type dimensions for line lengths and the use of standard key commands. Point and click is such a waste of time. For any experienced use of Autocad, typing commands from memory is faster than drawing lines. Once it compounds, one will know how much longer it takes to make a drawing. Also, I subscribed, but my Apple Pencil doesn’t even work based on the tutorials about freehand and editing dimensions. None of that is on the paid version. And zero support. Unfortunate that it’s like any other generic drawing tool and not like the original desktop version, which one would think that is where you would would actually begin the design with and not start from scratch. I will try it out, but it is so slow to even just draw a floor plan. I can do it faster on a desktop version. Time is money for AutoCAD users and app developers don’t really think that this isn’t just a hobby app, it’s a working man’s app to make money and every second counts when drawing in AutoCAD because it is used by professionals, not hobbyists..Version: 5.0.5
✓ This is a paid app!!I’m newly exploring the field, and wanted try this out (for free). I assumed it would be a free app, and went through the sign-up process, only to find out it it’s all behind a pay-wall. A total waste of time. It should be the other way around - show the pay wall, and if the customer chooses to go on, THEN sign up..Version: 6.11.0
✓ Thumbs down for the latest updateThe app is no longer simple or practical to use. What used to take me a few seconds is now taking minutes to get right and is cumbersome and complicated. Restore the previous version please... I’m sure most of us who use the program frequently would appreciate prompt action so we can continue utilizing the tools this previously invaluable app provided..Version: 5.0.0
✓ Not an easy transition from the desktop versionIs there a guide that explains the functionalities and the commands? I can’t find how to adjust dim and text style and heights and did not find smart leaders for creating notes with arrows....Version: 5.5.1
✓ Waste of money and no support!I used the trail version and even with the Apple Pencil it was working. The app was simple but limited. I only needed to use it for marking up plans and small changes. I decided to go with the “Ultimate Plan” to use all the features. Once I did I couldn’t even use the app. Using my finger, Apple Pencil or even a Bluetooth mouse the crosshairs wouldn’t go where I tried to draw. I couldn’t even draw two lines because I could never click on the end of the first line. I contacted support and they told my there was nothing they could do and sent me a link to show me how to draw a freaking line. I’ve used autoCAD on desktop to Mark up drawings for over ten years and thought my iPad on the go might help but waste of $99..Version: 5.6.3
✓ Useless app and supportI upgraded to premium but the app still shows as the free version. Despite now trying for over 6 months, no one at Autodesk is taking ownership of resolving this issue. I even emailed their CEO - no answer. Don't waste your time or money, I’ve been emailing and chatting with their help assistants and the product doesn’t work. Poor customer service, useless app and lack of leadership all make this a bad buy..Version: 4.4.16
✓ Well that was over quicklyUnbelievable how one of the biggest companies specialising in this things can just get so much wrong , not wonder if it works well for any user without them instructing how to use it or compare to so many amazing apps on iPad with amazing experience and UI. Mind absolutely boggles how they got it so wrong and why they even bothered in the first place. Less than 5 mins and deleted. Good job!.Version: 6.4.0
✓ Useless and unsupportedCan’t even draw a simple straight line, online tutorial videos are all showing as unavailable from auto desks website even when signed in with a paying account!.Version: 5.7.1
✓ Would like to be able to customize pencil behaviourWhy on earth does it default to dragging a single point on a selected object? Pencil behaviour is not intuitive at all. If I tap on a rectangle, it’s far more likely I want to move it than just move a single point and change its shape. It makes the overall experience a bit tedious..Version: 5.6.1
✓ TerribleAt first it was great. I spent good money on an iPad Pro set up with pencil and keyboard. None of it is any good after update. No support is available. Getting in touch is as if everyone at autocad mobile walked out and closed the door and never came back to work. Your money is good here but don’t expect anything in return for your subscription. If they reply to this and say that there is a “line” command box for imputing measurements/angels on IOS only- that is incorrect - the latest update has now removed it from IOS customers running latest apple iPad Pro as well..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Trial (Standard download) Is TerribleII have been using AutoCAD/AutoCAD LT/Autosketch for over 30 years and I am looking to purchase this package for my home and light consulting needs on my IPad. I understand, and even appreciate, the seven day trial period. And, I am not adverse to paying the asking (monthly/yearly) price for a functioning product. However, the functionality given for those 7 days is extremely poor and instructions nonexistent. Too many of the basics are missing and it is impossible to make any realistic evaluation. Is the functionality of the trial package really that limited and the total package truly that poor?.Version: 4.4.35
✓ Removed useful features 😒This app was so useful for those of us used it mostly for quick field notes. Now the quick text and the freehand drawing features are removed and you spend 5x more time to just “quickly” make a note on the drawing. Many times it’s irrelevant how big is the text and where is it snapping onto on a mobile version. Not too sure where is this going noone ever will do proper complicated drawings on an IPad. You might say I should use A360 for mark up on dwg-s... well I have tried it and seem to lost a big bunch of notes on it... rayher annoying! PLEASE GIVE US BACK THE QUICK TEXT AND FREEHAND DRAWING OPTIONS!!!.Version: 5.5.1
✓ What has happened???I’ve been using and paying for this app for a few years now and has been my go to program for doing quick plans and drawings for steel fabrication until yesterday I arrived at a site for survey and the app decided I needed to update it as the version I had installed was no longer useable. I download the new version and... that’s it. Doesn’t work. Will not let you type in a measurement. App is now completely unusable! Wasted working time and cost me money. Please change your app back to previous versions. This is actually affecting my business..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Forget itIf I have to create an account just to try it, forget it!!!.Version: 6.7.0
✓ AwesomeFantastic!.Version: 1.2
✓ Completely uselessIm a professional surveyor and arrived to carry out a measured survey this morning to find that this update has completely wasted my day. Totally unusable. I’ve been using AutoCAD mobile for a few years now but after this recent update I’ll be looking elsewhere. The data input is not useable and for some reason the Leica disto feature seems to have been removed. After purchasing the disto to work along side cad mobile I had a great work flow although it did have it bugs you could produce accurate floor plans very quickly but now it’s completely broken. Revert back to the previous version! Still no update to fix the issues everyone is having customer service non existent just the same copy and pasted message to everyone..Version: 5.0.2
✓ You’re so close1st day on a job site with this, and it’s not really usable for me. Being able to type in a dimension is required. Period. The fact that this functionality was removed makes this App one step North of worthless. If I can’t accurately draw a line, then what is this even for? If/when the ability to type in dimensions is added back, then this thing gets a TON more useful. Until then... not so much. UPDATE: After a response from Autodesk, I learn that there is *limited* ability to add typed dimensions. It does not work with Apple Pencil, which I was using, but there is a way to be more precise. I will not, however add more stars to the initial review. This limited functionality is still too awkward to allow us to add this tool into our workflow..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Useful but unnecessarily complexDifficulties with saving, use offline, availability of attachments and instability and loosing files makes this a potentially useful but very flawed app..Version: 4.4.15
✓ Used to be 5 starsI don’t know why the update made the app be worse than before. To start they removed the smart pen feature which was quite useful. Takes way longer to draw lines or select objects now. I guess I could live without that but I can’t edit the length of my lines. I just can’t comprehend why they would remove features instead of making it better. I used to be five stars ! I would take it to jobs measure and draw up a base plan right there and then transfer it to my computer. It saved me so much time please fix the issues.Version: 4.4.31
✓ Please don’t waste your moneyLet’s cut to the point this app version of Autocad is basically a “viewer”, please don’t buy this app expecting it to be some form of drawing app it’s not! Yes you can draw basic lines in 2D you cannot draw in 3D, yes you can perform basic editing on Autocad generated dwg’s, as long as you have Autocad on a pc or laptop. So in essence an absolute waste of money, don’t buy it, steer clear, really don’t waste your money..Version: 4.4.16
✓ Number pad does not show upI upgraded to the premium since I used the trail version and it worked fine. But since upgrading, I can no longer edit object sizes as the numerical pad doesn’t show up. I got the app to help with clients. But now seems useless. I have also tried email the app support but all my emails just keep bouncing back unable to deliver..Version: 4.4.27
✓ Frustratingly BasicAt first glance this seemed liked a simple answer to a few of my problems, specifically digitising site plans drawn on permatrace (Old school, I know). As I rarely need anything more complicated than polylines and basic XREF tools to do this, this app seemed like a perfect fit. However, the XREF tools aren't quite up to snuff - the lack of an Align tool is particularly annoying, and the simple addition of a transparency option would be particularly helpful. Drawings beyond the most basic of shapes are often slightly more trouble than they are worth, but I'm sure with practice this would improve. As has been noted in another review, changing line types appears to be impossible, which severely restricts the usefulness of this app for my applications. As a method of viewing .dwg files, and performing some (Very) basic markup this is a perfectly functional app. As an even vaguely serious drawing tool, it's miles off the mark..Version: 4.3.12
✓ Step it up autodesk!Works as advertised but seriously needs 3d support to be truly useful..Version: 1.3
✓ Hors fonction depuis 2 semainesL’app ne fonctionne plus depuis 2 semaines!.Version: 4.4.27
✓ Killed the app with the latest updateThis app now seems like a pre-release version and not an update to a fully functioning and useful app. Basic functionality like being able to draw an accurate rectangle or even make it 1.00 units bigger are now tedious if not downright impossible. As a company I thought you knew better than to foist alpha versions of the app on your user base. When I started with your app you were the only game in town but in the intervening 4 years I don’t think you have realised that there are other companies knocking on your door. Ones that offer things like a custom object library, oh and not to mention drawing tools that work. Pull your finger out Autodesk and start putting out software that has actually passed beta testing for functionality and usability..Version: 5.0.0
✓ Dimension tools goneWhere have the dimension tools gone. I only get aligned and that’s it. Cant dimension angles or radius items..Version: 5.0.3
✓ DissapointedBought this to do the most simple thing: display a DXF file, and maybe tweak it. Followed the directions to upload a file from my laptop via email. It won’t recognize the file. I can’t use this if it won’t recognize my file..Version: 5.0.6
✓ Embarrassing for kids & engineersThis program is sad. I can’t even draw a line or circle. Kids use real AutoCAD in High Schools and you can’t even do anything with this. Completely useless on iPad. Think lite. I’m just trying to let you know that no one even wants anything to do with AutoCAD. This should be a free workshop for 30 days. I’m deleting this app because it’s worthless and I won’t pay min of 4 dollars to be your information about how undeveloped this is. Sad, sad day for meetings and I’m not pleased with loading up models. I just use GrabCad. Slow and annoying just like UG and SolidWorks users were thinking. Free to use. Please fix.Version: 4.4.14
✓ No longer freeThis was a completely free product when I downloaded it then, without me changing it (presumably via an update), it has converted itself into a paid product with a 7-day trial. Otherwise would have had a better mark..Version: 4.4.15
✓ IT USE TO BE GOODOlder version was great. Easy to use and made quick work of design. Stop updating and changing everything. The latest version is a waste of money. Inputting one specific line at a time is frustrating and not being able to input specific sizes almost makes it useless..Version: 5.0.8
✓ À quand la version à pleine fonctionnalités???Quand est-ce que la version avec les pleines fonctionnalités est-elle prévue pour être déployée? C’est un enjeu important car le logiciel est quasi inutilisable tant que le dessin de précision avec les entrées numériques et toutes les fonctions avancées ne seront pas déployées..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Why have you removed Leica DISTO Connectivity????This app was perfect until they removed Leica DISTO Bluetooth connectivity with the latest update. Without this, the app is pointless and you cannot draw or input real measurements. Not happy. If this isn’t reinstated myself and a lot of your customers will cancel their subscription and move to an alternative to AutoCAD. I would suggest you reinstate the Leica DISTO connectivity ASAP..Version: 5.0.5
✓ Offline Use Requires ImprovementApp is OK for viewing drawing files but is severely lacking in its ability to download multiple files / folders of files for offline use. To have to manually open each file before it can be used offline is cumbersome to say the least! Needs improvement in respect of offline use..Version: 4.4.16
✓ Version 5.0.3 just crashesI have no idea what you have done to this once excellent app, but version 5 has lost all its functionality! The latest update to version 5.0.3 refuses to open...constantly crashes With a 2018 iPad Pro 11” on iPadOS 13.3 and the Apple Pencil 2, this app should be a joy to use! However it is a disaster. Please bring back all that was good with version 4 ASAP.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Please fix this app back to previous functionality!So frustrating when something used to work now has been made useless. The gps positioning in real time function was the best thing about this app and now it’s been taken away. Among many other useful tools. The app has now been rendered useless. Please fix..Version: 5.1.2
✓ Initially good, but....This app initially solved all my mobile Cad requirements, however shortly after subscribing to a years premium subscription, none of my .dxf files would open and were described as unsupported. Tried contacting customer support, what a waste of time, no contact number only in app email contact. After many emails and no meaningful help or response I am getting increasingly frustrated and disappointed..Version: 5.0.0
✓ It was Brilliant, now it’s totally useless!!!Don’t waste your money, it was a brilliant resource but now we are left with a useless Beta version which has loads of features disabled, if I could rate it 0 stars I would, I feel this is a deliberate act for some reason, I don’t mind paying good money for something that works but next move is to cancel my subscription and never buy junk like this again ...Version: 5.0.3
✓ Less useful now after updatesFor me, the usefulness of this app was greatly diminished after the last few updates. Having the ability to take an iPad, Apple Pencil, and a Leica distro out in the field to capture as built floor diagrams directly into AutoCAD (for later refinements or for someone else in the office to update) was a game changer. We used to be able to draw a wall on the iPad and then shoot a laser measurement of that wall and have it update the length to very accurate specifications. Now, you can’t use the Leica to directly update the length directly after you draw a wall. This has slowed the process down to the point that it has become less useful and almost too cumbersome to use in the field for this process. It would be excellent if there was a way to toggle this feature (measure after drawing object with the Leica) on and off as needed for specific needs. Hopefully this can be brought back..Version: 5.0.7
✓ Developer lies!Features advertised on developers website and their training videos have been removed ‘pending a new release’. Their website advertises that ‘paid customers’ can access previous versions of the App - this is untrue, at least for iPad and Mobile IOS versions. Paid tech support is slow and responds with cut and paste standard ‘fob-off’ answers. Basic features - such as to be able to draw a shape and save it as a block to use again is unavailable. Try the free version, but don’t be tempted to buy a subscription thinking it will be better or have missing features unlocked - nope, features have been removed from all versions. Very disappointing. Will be seeking a refund..Version: 5.1.2
✓ Unable to draft using latest updateThe latest update renders the product useless on a iPad Pro with the use of an Apple Pencil for drafting commands. I can no longer select an item and use drawing commands like move, extend, offset etc and see any editable pop up box as per the previous version. Until Autodesk can fix this don’t buy this now useless product. The standard long winded response from Autodesk of “We are constantly reviewing our product.....we have temporarily limited functionality of the latest release....Please help us make our app better and share your thoughts..” all this is a cop out! (anyone trying to use this app now on an iPad with an Apple Pencil will get this blurb sent to them when they complain). Come on Autodesk! Repair the pathetic “limited functionality” and give us back the previous version. It least it worked on the iPad! One star is one too many for this version..Version: 5.0.0
✓ HOW do I adjust scaling for dims viewing?Since I’ve only just started using AutoDesk’s CAD for iphone, I’ll rate this around half, a little less than satisfied. I can probably use it more because I took an engineering course in vocational college, but I can’t ask them for help, they’re closed. I’m using auto CAD for mechanical drawings ONLY, with one project measured out mostly in inches averaging less than a foot in length. But the default settings seem meant for architectural, with the viewing window in THOUSANDS of units. So when I apply a dimension measurement, the text isn’t visible (because its offscreen) until I zoom out the viewing window to the point where I can’t see the drive gear I’m measuring! Also, I’d prefer to get notations in fractional inches if I can, but I found a conversion chart for that..Version: 6.11.0
✓ Ridiculously uselessI bought the 1 year subscription after watching all the videos of wha this app can do. After installing to my surprise it does very little of what’s in those tutorial videos.... can’t edit lengths. Can only dimension aligned measurements. So many functions shown on the autodesk videos aren’t available. I’ve essentially paid old money for what almost any other free cad software can give me. Lesson learned I won’t be renewing this license.Version: 5.0.5
✓ Doesn't operate as per videosControl interface is different to videos & I'm unable to use it like it shows I'm an experienced desktop user but this just doesn't work on IPad Pro.Version: 6.4.0
✓ Fix the Glitch!I have Premium option and have my credit card charged every month, BUT when I need to use ACAD it shows me that I have Free option and I can just view my files. Thank you very much! Great attitude!.Version: 5.7.7
✓ Simply a viewer for nowThe keypad doesn’t appear when it’s supposed to. I cannot enter the information necessary to modify my drawing. I cannot use it to do what I bought it for. I absolutly need to be able to use the keypad to modify my drawings. Please repair the bug. I took a one month subscription and I will wait till the bug is fixed to retry the app..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Great for drawing, absolutely terrible for exportingThere's a way to export your drawings as pdf's, which is crucial for me, but honestly I'd have more luck drawing it on notability and then exporting, because this app's pdf exporter is terrible. You should be able to set a custom scale, much less any scale, but no matter what you put in as a scale this app just decides to put its own random scale in, just to taunt you. Fit to paper doesn't even work unless you put your drawing into a box, and even then it cuts off the edges so part of your drawing is gone. They need a pdf preview before you share, and let you find the right margins so that you can easily fit the box so you can fit to page. Otherwise you will never be able to export an accurate representation..Version: 4.4.1
✓ Still no basic functionalityThe last two updates haven’t made mention of returning basic functionality to the app. No we are stil not enjoying this latest version. If you want to see how basic drafting should be implemented on the iPad take a look at Shapr3D..Version: 5.1.2
✓ New version is mot goodAuto updated to version 5.0.0 now all my old files don’t work like they used to! What happened to this program why can’t I draw like I could two days ago 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Please put it back the way it was ASAP!!!!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 Or leu us know how to re install 4.4.35.Version: 5.0.0
✓ 5 star to 1 starUsed to love using AutoCAD linked via bluetooth to my Leica Disto. This function along with smart pen no longer exists which is extremely disappointing. I’ll be looking for an alternative solution soon which may also mean using an alternative drafting software package on my desktop and terminating my subscription. UPDATE: Autodesk responded with a standard response asking which features are critically required: I require connection of my Leica Disto and smart pen as previously available. Ideally I want to be able to sketch a floor plan and then select each line to provide a measurement from my Disto or manually using an on screen number pad..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Dear Dev teamMy challenge, Team, is to take your iPad outside, with a tape measure, and draw the building in your program from scratch. You have a generous 45 minutes to do this. Maybe then you will understand why your drawing commands have no practical application in drawing anything in the field. Trying to remember which angle I’m at in order to do a simple 90 deg turn is bogus. About 2 years ago you could start the line in a direction and then enter a distance. Why on earth would you take that out? 4 more stars await when you put that one feature you have coded back in. 2 years come on! And comments fall on deaf ears. They know what you need better than you do. It’s too bad they don’t actually use the app..Version: 5.0.9
✓ Great but not quite thereAs productive as this is with pencil integration, Leica Bluetooth connectivity and a suite of tools to aid basic cad creation on the move, it’s missing some pretty basic features of 2D cad drawing packages. 3D might as well not exist in my opinion other than for viewing only. One of my major complaints is that the pencil support is a little bit laggy, particularly when using the marker to take notes and basic tools such as wall placement are missing. Leica measurements enter fairly easily but the scale doesn’t map out to mm from meters so you end up zooming pretty far in. I’d like to see a few more items fixed in order to keep my payments coming. It’s close but remains a little overpriced just now for a paid subscription..Version: 4.3.11
✓ Not fully compatible... no response from developers... completely uselessIPad OS Supports USB Drives. I have an adapter and a USB Drive with drawing files on it. I have to share the file to AutoCAD and then it’s uploaded/synced automatically. I don’t want my drawings in the cloud... I want to edit them from USB drive while I am on the go and then I can drop them on my pc and continue at the office. No cloud... just between devices. As it stands, I do not consider this fully compatible with iPadOS and iOS 13 when one of the KEY features was USB support. It is completely useless because I will not put my drawings on the cloud... I sent an email asking if there were any plans to add that feature and got no response at all. I sent that email in September (right after iPadOS got out of beta). Considering I have been using Autodesk products like AutoCAD since the 2004 release and Inventor 8/10, I am really disappointed in the lack of support.Version: 5.0.0
✓ Selecting end points and taking measurementsTrying to start a line at the end point of another line, not able to select the end point. The program selects its own point even with the osnap turned off. Taking measurements is the same. Not able to select end points to allow the measurement to be taken. This is not like the autocad I used for decades. I guess my overall dissatisfaction is with lack of ability to selects object to get information of dimensions or sizes. Because of this I will not purchase the package for use until this is fixed. Being limited on how to draw is frustrating..Version: 5.0.8
✓ Useless after 4.4.43Autodesk worked really hard to make this software completely useless with their 5.0.0 (and beyond) updates: they managed to strip it of any serious functionality while totally failing to integrate any of the so-called functionality that they supposedly desired. This was all done in an effort to “more closely resemble the desktop version “ - a useless endeavor in itself. In short; Autodesk destroyed a perfectly working piece of software for no legitimate reason. Listen to this corporate-speak garbage quote from them, “Enhanced feature-set with limited functionality” My god, the hubris. Their inept, ill-conceived and unwarranted 5.0.0 update proves one point: if you’re looking for a software to use professionally, steer far clear of this one. UPDATE: 5.0.7 and still useless! Why a developer would ruin a perfectly good software (version 4.4.43) for more than a quarter is inexplicable. It’s been four months Autodesk. Fix it or get off the pot..Version: 5.0.7
✓ 一直闪退，从未解决！一直闪退，从未解决！.Version: 5.7.7
✓ What has happened? Very disappointedI used to find this app great. I have used it for factory layouts and have not had any issues. For the last few months I had been editing and improving the factory layout in .dxf format. After not using it for a few weeks opened it up and all of a sudden could not access my dxf documents. Had to get them put into dwg format and finally got it up and running again, Then to my horror, nothing works as it did. The simplest of tasks are now more complicated and can even find the tools I used to use the most. Trim, extend, line colours, etc etc all gone!!!! Why has this been changed? What if anything is better? When will we get the old functionalities back? I am really disappointed with the latest changes, if only I could step back to the old level I could at least work it. Why delete the functionality and release before making it fully functional I don’t know..Version: 5.0.1
✓ What’s New??? A big downgrade!!!After a number of years using this app and finding it very useful Autodesk have in their own words “improved graphics and functionality” so what does that mean? No more being able to use Leica DISTO (laser measure) direct input No more easy editing of line lengths or angles No more being able to send a pdf of your drawing Less intuitive interface, it is horrible to use. So definitely, I feel, the functionality has been destroyed, with the removal of the ability to edit accurate measurements you CAN NOT produce a meaningful drawing. This app has been downgraded to a DWG viewer only and there are cheaper DWG viewers available on the App Store. Autodesk should show more integrity and just call it an expensive DWG viewer. Needless to say I have now cancelled my subscription for this product, it’s a great shame as it used to be a great tool but I’m glad it happened now as I was considering getting Autocad Lt for my iMacs but I don’t think Autodesk can be trusted not to water down a product after you have invested a great deal of time learning how to use their product and obviously spent the money on it to. And lastly, a message to Autodesk, please don’t thank me for the feedback..Version: 5.0.1
✓ No unsubscribe function on subscription optionsHave been using the app for some years but no longer need it and found there is no cancellation option on the subscription page. This is not by mistake and common with US subscriptions so fix it now.Version: 5.1.2
✓ Needs better integration with iOSI had this installed on my iPad for <5 min.; if I could give it a zero rating, I would. I was looking for a .dwg viewer for some files provided for my review; I already had an Autodesk acct. so this seemed like a natural fit. The trial period is only 7 days, and for the casual user, the subscription rate is too high...one strike against it. The biggest problem is that it doesn’t play well with any of the normal iOS infrastructure. You can’t open a file from the local iOS file system or iCloud; the only way to get a file from another app into the AutoCAD app is to transfer it through a third-party provider (Dropbox, Box, GoogleDrive, or OneDrive)...if you’re at a site with a slow connection (or no connection at all) you’re out of luck. This app was a non-starter before I could even try to open the file..Version: 4.4.25
✓ S..…L…..O..…WACAD is running so slowly that it’s almost unusable in the latest version. (It’s slow on my pre-M1 iPad pro, at least) So slow you can watch the drawing routines execute on the screen as the app slogs through them! Old workflow: use ACAD directly on the iPad to enter site data. New workflow: write data by hand on paper and enter it on a portable computer that runs fast and has functions like trim/extend for speedy drawing. Output pdf back to iPad, do concept development in another app. Something’s broken..Version: 6.6.0
✓ No control over basic line vector input - distance it angleThe basic functionality of the so called pro mode is undermined by the fact you can no longer control the length and angle of a line during input. The keypad input pop up has either been removed or is somehow not visible in this version of the App. You can only fudge in lines using the live input read outs. A very poor show from AutoDad..Version: 5.0.2
✓ From one who knows no AutoCADI bought an IPad Pro and decided I would purchase AutoCAD mobile. Although I am a licensed civil engineer (experienced, i.e. old), I have always had someone to do CAD for me. After the pandemic, I am staying home, so I have started to see if I can do some stuff on my own. I started out in the wrong place. Knowing little AutoCAD other than knowing about layers and some commands, I bought this product. It is worthless. They saved on making a HELP section (so easy to do); you’re on your own. Searching the internet, I see this is typical for AutoCAD: “we know there are issues with (BLANK) but we are working on it”. I decidedly feel ripped-off. No way to use this program. All I want is to search for a location and maybe point to the locations, but I can’t do it. I am sure it is very easy if there were a reference that I could READ. Now I have to make sure that my annual subscription cannot be renewed (cancellations for internet products being so difficult). Count me as ZERO STARS..Version: 5.0.9
✓ CrashesNot sure what happened, app crashes before can really do anything.Version: 4.4.16
✓ No we’re near as powerful as it should beAfter some improvements this app has stayed still for the past few years. While other creative apps are moving to becoming more and more powerful, even matching desktop features on the iPad. This app has stayed very much in the “mobile” world with no signs of pushing for better. It is still missing is full integration with iCloud Drive and files, takes unnecessarily long to open even simple files and has a very simple set of tools. It can’t even out put a pdf anymore so it is actually loosing functionality….Version: 5.7.0
✓ Rip offWhy don’t these companies tell you the true cost of their software. I just need to view def files… not spend $75 a year to do it. Thanks for wasting my time..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Last update created issuesThe app was working fine until the last update. Now the files that I was using before won’t open..Version: 4.4.29
✓ Impossible to cancel once you subscribeThis company is shady. There is no obvious way to unsubscribe from the monthly subscription. There are several posts online with people having the same problem. In those posts, someone from AutoCAD references a link to how to cancel, but the link is invalid. Also, autocad arbitrarily decided to make my password not work. So I am 25 minutes in and I can’t cancel. What a waste of time. I have emailed customer support and we will see. But all of this is clearly designed to make you give up and not cancel your subscription. Totally shady..Version: 4.4.28
✓ TERRIBLE!! PLZ FIXHi this app when I sign in it does not let me in and it does not let me shape or design and it keeps crashing and freezing. Can you please fix it (:.Version: 4.4.16
✓ Make it clearGo through the hassle of creating another account for something else only to find it’s a bloody subscription. Deleting.Version: 5.4.1
✓ Not dependableI want to love this app... I really do. It’s easy to draft with and COULD be indispensable. But for one thing. It crashes...often. And it doesn’t always save properly. The only way to safely use it is to email the drawing to yourself periodically (I do it hourly.. it gets expensive). But that’s not enough: open the drawing on another device to ensure that it worked. I’ve lost a whole days worth of work because it didn’t save once when I was pressing the save button. Buggy as hell. Support acts surprised, and they try to send back up drawings, but so far that’s never worked. In 2 weeks I’ve lost about 10 total hours of work. So that’s a fat 1/5 until they can fix this. And yes, I am writing this review just after another crash. Do better please..Version: 5.5.1
✓ No autosave function, poor functionalityI was excited to try out a version of AutoCAD for ipad but the excitement died quickly. The line drawing function offers the ability to manually input length and angle, but will only accept one at a time. This means that if I’m plotting a piece of property, I have to place a line, then go back and correct either the length or the angle since the app will only accept input on one. Waste of time. Then, since it never occurred to me that an app in the modern era would not autosave, when I opened my file today, it was empty. Of course I should have saved, but given that LITERALLY EVERY APP I HAVE AUTOSAVES it really didn’t occur to me that autodesk would leave out something so incredibly basic. A pointless app..Version: 6.0.1
✓ UnusableCan’t so much as draw a simple rectangle on this app. Snap feature doesn’t even work either. Not everyone who uses CAD software is a rocket scientist you know. Not happy.Version: 6.0.1
✓ Very UnhappyMy wife bought this for me thinking it was 3D CAD. I have no use for it at all. Total waste of money. Your website says money back guarantee. How do I get a refund?.Version: 5.7.0
✓ Features goneIt looks like the developer has abandoned this app. The online tutorials show useful features that are now gone. Very disappointed because the previous version looked like exactly what I wanted to purchase. The search continues..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Poor functionalitySimple commands such as offset or snap are barely functional. Sorry but not suitable for simple drawing on an iPad..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Premium UpgradeRecently upgraded to Premium due to a larger file size 14mb. Since than I have been unable to open any files in excess of 10mb. I have contacted support with no useful information provided. My subscription show that I have premium until Oct 2020. Very poor..Version: 5.0.3
✓ I need helpIm a high school student and I recently got this app so I could work on my projects at home instead of going to school to do them. Unfortunately, this app doesn’t provide all the tools you would normally get when working on a desk top(I’m on an iPad Pro).Later on I saw a video saying the apple pen provides more commands. I went to go buy the pencil (second generation)to see if it added any commands. It didn’t. Every video I see on the internet about using this app has an option to connect your Apple Pencil to the app and I can’t seem to find it on my iPad. Can some women help me please..Version: 5.3.2
✓ The old version was betterThe old version was better.Version: 5.0.7
