I got it and went through the entire process of creating an account, hoping I could make some 3d models for projects on my tablet. But apparently you have to pay $17/$18 a month to even make anything. Definitely not worth it when you could just use Blender on your laptop for free. Unless, of course, you’ve got money to throw away. I understand the need to make some money, but come on. I would like to create at least a few models without having to spend that much money.

Why don’t they tell you it cost $18 a month.

I used to use ketchup and then I understand sometime ago they sold it and now are looking to return on their money. That’s fine. I don’t have a problem with someone making money. Why don’t they tell you that it’s $18 a month before you load the program. They can hide behind the "in app purchases" and have people go through the trouble of loading it up just to find out that I’m not gonna spend almost $200 a year to sketch some time now and then.

Costs $20 a month, no transparency, not a professional app

If you're looking for a good 3D modeling app, go with Shapr 3D. This company makes you go through the entire process of setting up an account before they disclose that this app a single tier subscription model for $20 a month. They don't even have an option for a one time purchase. Absolutely ridiculous pricing for something that can't be used in most professional settings, and insidious to not disclose price before they force you to create an account. Why would anyone pay $20/month for a mid-tier 3D modeling app when Shapr 3D has a free tier and Blender is free for desktop? This app is already non-standard for professional use. The reason Adobe gets away with this is because they pretty much have a monopoly on design software in every industry. Conversely, SketchUp (even for desktop) isn't an option AT ALL in my industry—as in, if my supervisor found out I was using it, I would probably be reprimanded. I can get away with using Blender despite it being non-standard because it's Just That Good, but SketchUp? On the iPad?? This company is out of their minds charging professional pricing for an app that can really only be used in casual settings.

i dont have a choice so
Hey you guys, please don’t get this before reading the reviews. If you’re willing to pay 18 dollars a MONTH then this is the app for you even though you could have spent less and gone to nomad sculpt I think it’s called, I personally am cheap and broke so I think I’ll stick to my free little sculpting apps. PLEASE! Say that you’ll have to pay to even use the app for what it’s for, even thought it’s supposed to be free. Everything is only for people with premium and if we aren’t willing to pay that much every month then we will stop using the app and I’m guessing that won’t be the best for anyone because all we want is an accessible 3d sculpting app and I think it’s just stupid that I even trusted this app. Worse than the ones that have pop ups every five seconds. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!

Here's what's new in SketchUp for iPad v7.3.0 (2208) Introducing AI Render SketchUp Diffusion is now AI Render, and is more powerful than ever! It features new inpainting tools, additional style presets, and a completely redesigned user interface. These changes continue to expand and enhance SketchUp's AI capabilities.GO subscriptions now come with dedicated monthly AI credits. Credits refill monthly, and you can monitor your usage via the credit balance menu in the upper-right while using AI Render. File save improvements We've made significant updates to how you save your files! A new navigation menu is now located on the left side of the home bar, gathering both new and existing options. While the save button remains easily accessible on the home menu bar, saving a file now gives you the option to select a save location and assign a name. • Tap the file name to rename your file • Tap the Save as button to save a copy of your file • Tap home in the menu to return to the home page, as always • Find Import and Export file options now under this menu • App settings are also now under this menu Model and Visualization Improvements Ambient Occlusion face setting received two major improvements • The Distance Multiplier slider when using AO on tiny or really large models. • A color swatch control allows you to pick custom color for your shading. Invert Roughness gets a similar setting to invert normal. Inverting roughness provides better control how smooth or rough you want a surface to be. Scale grips now display through other geometry, so that you can always see and click them. Rotation grips no longer appear when you’ve locked a rotation plane. Scene Undo and Redo You can now undo or redo scene updates. Undo and Redo work just like they do when editing other parts of your model and will also respect creating, renaming, and deleting actions. Your input helps us continually improve SketchUp for iPad, so please keep sharing your thoughts with us on our community forum: https://forums.sketchup.com/c/sketchup-labs/sketchup-ipad/
