Very good app
Suggestions for improvement: colour, texture choices might be good. Ability to see angles, some indication of number of faces, edges, corners etc

Description
iCrosss is a unique educational application which will help you learn solid geometry in an easy and funny way.
"It is an extremely well-done interactive encyclopedia of polyhedra" - Kurt Schmucker (Parallels Senior Product Manager)
iCrosss allows you to build a cross-section of each available polyhedra by your defined plane. The plane can be defined by three points (taps) on polyhedron faces. The application supports such kinds of polyhedra as regular polyhedra (Platonic solids), Pyramids, Prisms, Anti-prisms and Archimedean solids and duals. Polyhedrons are displayed in 3D representation, which allows you to rotate it in any direction. Cool chalkboard drawing style and fonts were used for awesome look’n’feel. To build a cross-section you have to put three points on polyhedron faces in order to define a section plane.
There is several view modes that you can use for better cross-section experience: 3D mode, Épure (3 projections mode), 3D cut mode. 3D cut mode is available only when you have already built cross-section. In this mode you can choose one of two solid pieces of initial polyhedron to continue work with. Available menu for printing and sending via e-mail of the polyhedron or its section. You can access information regarding selected solid, which includes short description, number of faces, vertices, edges, web-link for more information and useful formulas. Polyhedra are organized in simple list divided by categories. Moreover, you can put polyhedrons you like into favorites list. Favorite solids are marked by a golden star and can be rapidly accessed.
A tutorial mode was designed for quick understanding. It will take you through the general application features.
To display formulas custom rendering engine was developed. It visualizes a LaTeX formula format.

Exactly what it say on the tin..
Wowsers in my trousers..
Deserve a try
I really like it
Frustum frustration
Love love love this app and all the more exotic 3D shapes it shows. The rotation is great. I just wish that, as well as truncated polyhedral arc it also showed frustums (frusta?) of pyramids. A small plea from a shape junkie!
Simply splendid
Excellent tool for intrigue and fascination. Well done
Interesting and useful application but unstable.
For my art and design it's a useful tool to explore shapes and structures and for 69p its a good price and I don't regret buying it. The app however crashes far too much which is irritating. It crashes whilst splitting geometric shapes and also whilst exporting to PDF mainly. It froze the whole IPad 2 once and the system needed a complete reboot which has happened to me very rarely with any app. I suspect that it is eating up memory and needs some code optimisation in that regard as the IPad 2 is quite capable of handling these simple shapes in 3D wire format. I also notice some battery drain with the app over other apps so perhaps this is linked. Useful app and worth 69p definitely, it's just the amount of times it falls over is far too often. There are some really useful design aspects to the app so it would be good to see it developed further. Some new features like making more than one cut or being able to join the geometric models would be really interesting and an exciting development and unique on the iPad system so then the app would be well worth much more than 69p.
Very good for solids in the real world
Really enjoyed this app to explore three-dimensional regular solids. And also see 4th Dimension for the next brain-numbing step!
