## iDesign Reviews in United States

### ***** "Amazing Capabilities"
This is pretty amazing for something that runs on an iPad.  It took some time to learn how to do everything but it has a great deal of functionality.  I’ve used it for engineering drawings, tool design and woodworking projects.  It’s well worth the price.
-- cats 1, 2025-07-25

### *---- "I bought this app day 1 and now I Delete it"
I purchased this app Day 1 many years ago. I used it occasionally. Sadly I had to delete it today because I can’t use an app I paid for anymore without being extorted. I will never buy an app on iOS ever again. Good riddance!
-- SevenStarGod, 2024-12-12

### ***** "Great support"
Great and immediate support from developer.
-- 123GFY, 2024-10-18

### *---- "Paid for it now it’s a subscription"
Bad
-- markymarktoo, 2024-03-02

### *---- "A total rip off. READ this before “subscribing” to this scam."
I changed nothing in my original review. A limited response from the developer. They just don’t get it folks. My “sarcasm” was meant to make a point that they simply won’t acknowledge no matter how hard we try. They took our money in good faith then changed the rules. Plain and simple. Also, if someone does join the subscription what prevents them from “updating” the payment system again to a flat rate and gather all that money? Nothing. Personal attacks on me, my comments and other customers is no way to address your user concerns. You are ripping people off. If you don’t like the resentment that comes with such an action you shouldn’t have done it. I’m sure this response with do nothing but further your boilerplate comments that you post to every person critical of the choices you are making. No one is trying to rip you off, get something for free or anything else you post in your useless responses. But some people meaning you, just don’t get it. Like the old saying goes and I’m paraphrasing here “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him think” Meaning? You’re so busy defending your position you forgot to do what’s right. Respond again if you must but I’m sure it will just show more of your prosecution complex. Know that what you’re doing is wrong. You can’t pee on someone’s back and tell them it’s raining. You should consider a career in politics since this app thing isn’t quite working out. Developer response to my first review: “You have changed your original review with sarcastic misinterpretations of the developers response, change can be hard when it does not come free anymore. More than a decade of free updates were provided, unfortunately there will be some critics who do not want to pay a fair price, the app will continue with its development and support for users who value it. Version 4.1 has added many new enhancements, many more will follow with continued support for future iOS versions and devices.&quot; My initial review: Out of the kindness of our dumb old hearts “we at TouchUnAware” take the time to show everyone how we rationalize charging, once again for our app that people already paid for (and what we really mean when we post a boilerplate “response” to the critics) Thank you for your review. (And your money you paid in good faith for our app) iDesign was updated and supported for the past 13 years for a low one time purchase price, (low being relative to what WE now consider low) many users have enjoyed free updates and suppor
-- Jays job, 2024-03-02

### *---- "Changed to subscriptions"
I bought it in 2018 and now it is a subscription based app.

UPDATED: the developer responded but he assume I use it regularly. I use it next to never so I don’t want a subscription based app. I just want what I agreed to and paid for.
-- Kobus 0202, 2024-01-24

### *---- "Absolute theft"
Beware of purchasing from this developer; they cannot be trusted.

I purchased this app and created many designs with it. Then one day, I opened the app to a message that it’s now on a subscription model, and all I can do is use the “free viewer” to view my files - except that the free viewer is so limited as to be useless. Did you have some layers hidden? Tough bananas, the free viewer doesn’t actually let you view them.

This is theft. 

I have used other paid apps that switched to a subscription model. They have all created a new version of the app and left the old one alone. That’s the non-scammy way to handle it. This developer instead tells its existing users that it considers them freeloaders.

So, beware of doing business with this developer. You might just find that somewhere down the road, they decide to unilaterally declare that you owe them more money to get at your own drawings.
-- Floridian Sam, 2023-12-16

### *---- "Do not update do not download"
If you have used this app for any amount of time, you cannot toggle your layers, so they have essentially taken your drawings hostage to a subscription. Do not recommend.
-- wx2junior, 2023-11-25

### *---- "Beware"
Well, I’ve had this app for a long time.  For noodling around it isn’t bad. I used it to design a wood fence, check out different paint options for a bicycle retrofit, and other simple things. But if I’ve used this app more than a few hours a year I’d be surprised.  Anyway, it works for very simple things but for anything serious I use Autocad. Now, I’m really sorry I downloaded this latest subscription version.  Once this is done you can’t go back. The subscription model is a misguided scheme to generate more revenue. But I’d like the app developers to know that my business is gone. I want to buy the app and perhaps pay for certain upgrades. But a subscription??  Absolutely not. I will be looking for other noodling cad apps.
-- Master Robert, 2023-11-19

### *---- "Was my go to design tool"
I can understand the subscription model, but when I purchased the app several years ago I became vested into a product that now is useless to me without subscribing.  Other apps have made the switch to subscriptions, but have grandfathered original clients. I would be willing to go back to an earlier version of the app if that were an option, but I am now forced into subscription.
