Onshape 3D CAD for Android

I have no complaints about the features and functionality of Onshape, and the previous versions of the Mobile app that I’ve used have worked great for my needs. Unfortunately this latest update introduces an issue where every couple of minutes or so, it will decide to reset to the default isometric view of a part studio, regardless of what I’m in the middle of doing. Often this results in losing some or all of the changes to whatever I was in the process of editing at the time, but even when it doesn’t, it kicks me out of editing whatever feature I was in the middle of editing and resets to the isometric view. With this issue, the app is barely useable. And the browser version of Onshape is not a good alternative on my Mobile Pro as it complains about some missing hardware support (and anyway the web UI is not really all that usable in a touch-based environment, even with a trackpad). And yes, I tried turning the Mobile off and back on again. It didn’t help. I hope the Onshape team will release a new build with a fix for this issue soon.

This is by far the best one I have came across. I prefer to design on the computer but having access to my projects my phone is nice as well. You can also share certain projects so others can work on it along side you. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Just as a side note, in my opinion the desktop version is better then phone, but the phone version is still useable. Just take a little more time.

Before I create an account, I need to know the price for the full version. Why do you keep the price a secret?

It doesn’t appear that they’re supporting the app anymore.

After I discovered Onshape I basically had no justification to continue using Solidworks. I really like that I can use the same application across all devices and operating systems. I have used basically every other CAD or 3D application on iPadOS and this application is the only one worth using for CAD with the sole exception of Shapr3D. There are a couple other good 3D apps like Sculptura and Nomad but they’re more like Zbrush and have no free tier. Only two things really hold this app back. First, it doesn’t have a dark mode (although that criticism isn’t unique to Onshape, every CAD program I can think of has this issue). This might sound like a subjective personal gripe, but it is an accessibility issue for people like me with light sensitivity and it reduces battery life needlessly on devices with OLED displays. The second problem is that this isn’t fully featured despite the Mobile Pro now being more than capable enough to support the entire feature set. With Fusion 360 now having an online version and reviving its free tier I would be mindful of users jumping ship, especially because that app still offers some features that no version of Onshape has, like integrated cloud FEA and PCB design.
