SO what is this love affair that shaper has with IOS?
Android has a 80+ market penetration vs Ipad, Windows has a 75% Market Share vs IOs.
IOS seems to get all the love with regards to updates while windows is left lagging behind for the same price and ofcourse Android does not feature.
So why from a business point are you focused on such a small percentage of the market?
Hi @Barryd, Windows is certainly not left behind, actually we are working very hard to make it feature par with the other platforms. We don’t plan to release Shapr3D on Android anytime soon, mostly because on the tablet market Android devices that would be capable of running Shapr3D have a too small market share. However Windows tablets are fully supported.
Shapr3D originally started as an iPad app in 2016, and Shapr3D for Windows is relatively new, less than a year old. Once we get to feature parity, we’ll release every single feature at the same time on every platform. We are very close.
I agree, Why not release an android version. Brand new Samsung Tab 9 ultra. I never even dreamed this software would not run on android. Guess I’ll look for an alternative. Not like I’m going to buy an apple product to run 1 app
Shapr3D runs on Windows PCs and tablets, macOS, iPadOS, and visionOS. If you don’t like the Apple ecosystem, you can use it on any supported Windows device.
Any plans on releasing stand alone exe file? I’d like to try and run it on Linux. It’s the only cad program that I can use, since I only started two weeks ago in general with CAD. That being said I even booted windows again for this app and after few days windows did update (auto updates were disabled) it updates my bios too and fried 2tb of data. I will never touch windows again in my life.
Now I understand that Linux is finicky I’m new to it too, but they are crafty ppl if you give them a bone they will make it work.
On top of that Linux is growing fast plus valve had insane run with steamdeck that expanded user base and there’s good chance that valve will release steamOS at some point so it’s worth paying attention from business perspective.
It would be nice to get an exe I’d gladly subscribe if it works on wine or bottles.
