Ratings and Reviews
Unbelievably good
After playing with this app for a while, it’s absolutely floored me. I never thought there would be a shader authoring experience this great on iOS, that both looks and feels native but also has just enough pro functionality to fit nicely into my 3D workflow.
The ability to export to Unity and SceneKit materials are the killer feature for me, but the user experience in general is so intuitive, fun and rich that I’m starting to prefer using Shade to hand-authoring. Huge respect to the developers for taking on such a Herculean task and pulling it off so flawlessly. If I had a few more feature requests it would be exporting directly to Metal and/or Blender, but with the new export plugins and the already great GL/HLSL functionality, porting those shaders over manually isn’t too taxing.
P.S. If that’s not good enough, unlike ever other remotely pro-usable app out there it doesn’t even require a monthly subscription. I appreciate the devs even more for not going full Adobe on us.

Thank you for your wonderful review!
Blown away!
It’s nice to finally see such a great app for mobile devices. Its so well optimized for the iPad and it allows me to create visuals on the go.
Hope they keep adding more functionalities like reacting to camera or touch inputs and allow for more export options.
Looking forward to see where this goes! Please keep it up!
