I really like this app. Great for showing your ideas. As a hobbyist, it's great for showing someone a design projects for tips or revision ideas. Only thing that would be better is if it automatically updated when your project is edited. Would cut down on load time a bit, especially for those who live where service can be an issue.

Pros are obvious. View your Fusion360 files on the move, show/hide objects, etc. Cons are that the loaded file doesn't automatically hide objects hidden when you load the file in Fusion360 proper. 3D view manipulation also feels strange, using a combined orbit/pan/rotate method. It would also be nice to be able to view models in AR, similar to how eDrawing works with Solidworks. Good, but not a killer app.

Opened a file in the app, now when I try and access that file on my desktop I get a download error. Can't access model that I spent hours over. Edit: got my file back by right clicking the file in the data panel, viewing details on Internet (which opened a browser based version of fusion 360), then I was able to download the file from there via email & re-upload to fusion 360

While creating a box: "Press Shift-? for help" brings up a blank help tab with nowhere to type or search and no context for how to create a simple box.

Great! Although it could use more features, like a section view. There's also a few bugs. For example, I'm not notified when a model is ready for viewing even though I ask it to. Also, the "turntable" orbit setting doesn't work most of the time. Also, some of my projects appear in the wrong folder.

"Upload Failed" is the highlight of this app. Hi, we're Autodesk. We basically own the market and sleep on piles of cash but we can't do simple things like make an app work. Thanks for your money!

Can't use. All I get is a permissions error, and I can't get it to go away.

Doesn't even do the core features well. It's a viewer for the cloud-stored objects, but it has a lot of cases where it fails dven that. I have a couple of multi-component designs where some parts are simply missing from selection or preview, and the feature set is very limited even for a model viewer. It ansolutely has potential but somebody has to realize it before it can be called reliable.

Doesn't work with sketches. At all. You have to have a model before it will show anything, so you can't show off a sketch, which seems like a massive oversight. The whole 'this needs to download, do you want to be notified' thing is so redundant - I can wait 10 seconds, you download it now and I'll wait, cheers. Just not that good overall, seems like an afterthought - an app for the sake of being able to tell the board "Yeah, we've got an app, isn't that great?!" More work required.

I can't upload anything. It keeps crashing. Even my phone was saying "hey this app keeps crashing, what's going on?". Considering how much they charge for their programs you would think they can afford a descent app designer.

Can't access anything. If I select anything in any folder it says it doesn't have storage permissions. There is a settings link, but it is only for camera and photos, which it has access to. Useless app.

The app is great but the ambient occlusion effect messes up my designs. Making the textures " covered with stripes". The app cam show good depictions when moving the designs. But whenever designs are static, the stripe effect messes up the view. Maybe an option to toggle such effects will solve this issue if this is an GPU based issue.

Mediocre for viewing projects, nothing else. You can only look at projects/models already made, and that's it. You can't make new models, you can't edit models, nothing. Additionally, you are only viewing the final project, like what you'd get from a viewing only share link. It doesn't show sketches, planes, or any sort of construction anything. They were able to make a web based version to be accessed by Chrome books, so I don't know why they didn't just use that and change the U.I.

Doesn't work with sketches like the other guy said. Wanted to pull some dimensions off a sketch and it let me "open" a sketch, but the workspace remains blank. Revolved the sketch on pc and I can see the model now, but it's useless for anything requiring precision. You can only look at the model. It does have a "measure" button, but it won't let you actually select vertices or edges to measure from.

Update 4/23/2020 - Issue is still not resolved. Moved on to a new device, Pixel 3, and still get "unknown error" when trying to log in. Installed an older version and was able to log in fine, but old version is also unusable because there's a popup that won't go away prompting me to update to a "better" version. Completely useless. Original Review - Haven't been able to use the app in forever. Immediately opens with "unknown error." Complete factory reset of phone does not resolve issue.

My biggest problem with this app is that you can only toggle bodies/components that were visible when you saved on Desktop. If you're toggling the visibility so you can work on things, then you have an idea for another part you want to check on while away from your desk, you can't. This severely limits the usefulness of the app, to the point where it's almost not worth opening.

Overall seems easy to use but it lacks a lot of basic functionality. For example, if your original file had hidden components or other elements, there is no way (I know of) to unhide them. Also, why do we have to wait for the design to show up (it says that one has to wait...., then asks if you want to be notified when its finished loading the file. Why not just give us the loading bar? Why not have the option?) Overall this app seems like an unfinished project since like over a year ago.

Essentially useless, most models I can't even open and I get an error. When I try to measure something it usually won't select the point I want to measure and it will fill the screen with measurements that I can't get rid of. And after a couple minutes of being in a model the screen just goes white and I have to go back and reopen the model if it will even open.
