Very good I understand some features are missing but so far this has been working for me. Just made a 3D printer and started using open scad on my computer, this is perfect app to work on my files and new ideas away from home. On my tablet (acer iconic a500) it works well, issue is no scroll bar in editor and text gets chopped off on the sides, but I still have screen space to use. But I know the complexity of developing an android app and dealing with all the different screen sizes, so I don't think it's a dealbreaker at all. Love the app and very great full this has been developed. Glad I found it. Oh and you definitely want a better keyboard than the stock android one to get to the keys easily.
★★★★★
Editor trouble but otherwise very good. Once you get past a few lines copy and paste get problematic, keyboard covers editing area. I've resorted to editing elsewhere and pasting to Scorch. Otherwise, very good-can't wait for the improvements. How do I pay?
★★★★★
Good for programming info, please solve crash for big files, also it needs more tools as like views and printing and multi files printing and scales tool (batch printing) , please keep updating this useful app.
★★☆☆☆
💀DEAD💀 no updates since 2016, sad there is no more interest in developing this, 💥 crashes a lot, 'if() else' does not work, some file editing issues, best to edit somewhere else & copy/paste, EXAMPLES need work 10/21 fail
★★☆☆☆
File opener gets stuck in a rabbit hole. All I see is 2 dots that I cannot back out of to get to the top folder of my phone, let alone get to the folder that contains my OpenS CAD scripts. Fix that ang this is 5 of 5 stars.
★★☆☆☆
Only the demos work. When you try to add in code and hit compile nothing
loads, errors, and the console just shows x, y, z 0.0000
★★☆☆☆
Does not work I tried using the code editor, then usin the back button at top of screen to get back to the main screen. (the keyboard covering the lower part of the screen stays otherwise) but when I go to compile all changes just made are lost.
★★☆☆☆
Scorch cad Did not render the scad design in view mode. Editor doesn't have the module collapse... In short doesn't work except for very, very simple designs
