4/5Solid 4, not 5
Feather is a very cool app, and people should give it a try but… Seriously, did anybody at Apple actually use it before giving it the design award, or did they jut get wowed by a demo? Feather has a lot of rough edges when you actually try to use it; it really feels like a beta. For starters, there’s no way to flip the interface for left-handers and that really seems like a gimme. For all you right-handers out there… There’s no 2 finger tap to undo (or indeed any way to undo except tapping the arrow). The interface is obscure; the iconography isn’t great and there’s NO TOOLTIPS. I thought Apple cared about good, clear interfaces? They give enough talks about it. The lack of tooltips is my biggest gripe with Valence 3d. Even worse, some of the modes work well only in demos, like the mechanism for drawing straight lines, which is only ever activated at the same time as curve-prettification. So you draw a line and pause, waiting for the line to become straight, and then you can move the end—pint where you want it? Nope! The system decides to keep the lovely curves and allow you merely to slightly adjust the curvature… but no way are you going to move that endpoint. This is annoying while drawing a line, but it’s a disaster when using the fat highlighting pen, because the endpoints become hideous pie-with-a-slice-out things. Feather picks curve-prettification 95% of the time when I want straight lines, and there’s hardly any way to change that. Worse, they said they’d have to revamp the whole engine to change that… so while they hope sometime soon to have left-hander mode and tap-to-undo, straight lines are a pipe dream. None of which is to say Feather is a bad app. It’s very cool. But it feels like a beta. It’s kind of scary to find myself wondering if Apple is handing out awards based on presentations and demos, rather than people inside the company actually using the app in any real way.

5/5I feel like I’m breaking all the rules of 3D art design… but it all makes sense!
I still feel wrong for using this app like I would my normal 2D art programs - Filling in shapes and sketching lines with thin strokes feels almost counterintuitive to every thing I’ve learned about 3D rendering, but you know what? Somehow, this actually all clicks for me! If you’re frustrated with Blender and software like that, but you know how to do so much as a simple sketch, then all you really need is about an hour to learn the basics of using the Apple Pencil (or a trackpad, mouse, or finger!) with this app, and then you can quickly be off to the races. My only complaint is that I wish there was a more intuitive way to learn about how to properly use 3D guides and brushes - the documentation and tutorials help, but for newcomers, myself included, it can take a bit of fiddling before you get a grasp on how you’re supposed to make things. Otherwise, Great app, 10/10, and it’s a one-time flat fee, to boot!

4/5Close but doesn’t hit
Tl;dr great concept, didn’t land for me. Feels more like a toy than a robust solution for 3d art. It’s cheap and no sub so if you have the cash it’s worth checking out for yourself. I had hoped for something like grease pencil, but with a more intuitive interface. I like the ideas presented here but the execution falls short. The clearest example of course being fill. WHICH they’re working on to be clear. Right now, surfaces must be filled with a series of strokes, which at least appear to me like separate 3d objects. I have some difficulty wrapping my head around the “draw a guide and sketch” workflow, which I grant is user error (there are a plethora of tutorials on their official channel). But it leaves me frustrated and wishing for something closer to box modeling to create draw surfaces. More than anything, it seems useful for annotations and sketches. Load a model in and then create floating notations nearby for example. And there are plenty of architectural doodles I’ve seen with the software. If you want more than that, you’ll be frustrated I think. Short wishlist of features, in no particular order, and understanding the huge lift some or all of these might be: fill finite surfaces, rigging and animation, simplified box modeling for surface creation, custom shaders, optional shrink wrapping the planar brushes to the draw surfaces, textured planar brushes (not going back and applying a shader to a stroke you’ve already laid)

4/5Cool, but needs some work
This app is a great idea, but a lot of basic features need some upgrades. Coloring something in is way more frustrating than the tutorials make it look. Colors glitch through each other, and it seems like it’s impossible to layer paint? The eraser tool is also extremely difficult to use. If I can be more picky, it also seems like there’s little options for stylistic variation outside the blocky shading style that’s used in a lot of the examples. It would be nice to have brushes with different textures and maybe even have a blend/smudge tool, but I’m not sure how difficult that would be to implement. I think what Feather is trying to do is really awesome! I can see myself using it for small personal projects. But it seems pretty bare for now.

3/5I think the learning curve(?) is a bit much
Like, don’t get me wrong. Beautiful app with lots of potential, relatively intuitive to understand. And ohmygod its a one time purchase not a subscription, you guys need an award for that. HOWEVER… I just wish there were more time saving tricks like a fill tool or some meshes, like a default plane would be nice 🥲 and a ruler too, as much as the auto correct tool is nice, what if i just wanted some perfect shapes? It’s just been really time consuming for me, and maybe that’s just because i’m bad 😭 because i’ve seem the stuff people do om this app and it’s jaw dropping beautiful and inspirational but my wobbly hand just can’t come close to recreating it the way they do. Plus, filling with the paintbrush has been really wonky. Lots of potential here, and i have fully belief in the capabilities and vision for the developer, and thank you so much for creating this app. Just… maybe add a few features to help beginners out? 😝🥹

"body": "Feather is a very cool app, and people should give it a try but… Seriously, did anybody at Apple actually use it before giving it the design award, or did they jut get wowed by a demo? Feather has a lot of rough edges when you actually try to use it; it really feels like a beta. For starters, there’s no way to flip the interface for left-handers and that really seems like a gimme. For all you right-handers out there… There’s no 2 finger tap to undo (or indeed any way to undo except tapping the arrow). The interface is obscure; the iconography isn’t great and there’s NO TOOLTIPS. I thought Apple cared about good, clear interfaces? They give enough talks about it. The lack of tooltips is my biggest gripe with Valence 3d. Even worse, some of the modes work well only in demos, like the mechanism for drawing straight lines, which is only ever activated at the same time as curve-prettification. So you draw a line and pause, waiting for the line to become straight, and then you can move the end—pint where you want it? Nope! The system decides to keep the lovely curves and allow you merely to slightly adjust the curvature… but no way are you going to move that endpoint. This is annoying while drawing a line, but it’s a disaster when using the fat highlighting pen, because the endpoints become hideous pie-with-a-slice-out things. Feather picks curve-prettification 95% of the time when I want straight lines, and there’s hardly any way to change that. Worse, they said they’d have to revamp the whole engine to change that… so while they hope sometime soon to have left-hander mode and tap-to-undo, straight lines are a pipe dream. None of which is to say Feather is a bad app. It’s very cool. But it feels like a beta. It’s kind of scary to find myself wondering if Apple is handing out awards based on presentations and demos, rather than people inside the company actually using the app in any real way.",

If you’re frustrated with Blender and software like that, but you know how to do so much as a simple sketch, then all you really need is about an hour to learn the basics of using the Apple Pencil (or a trackpad, mouse, or finger!) with this app, and then you can quickly be off to the races. My only complaint is that I wish there was a more intuitive way to learn about how to properly use 3D guides and brushes - the documentation and tutorials help, but for newcomers, myself included, it can take a bit of fiddling before you get a grasp on how you’re supposed to make things. Otherwise, Great app, 10/10, and it’s a one-time flat fee, to boot!",

"body": "Tl;dr great concept, didn’t land for me. Feels more like a toy than a robust solution for 3d art. It’s cheap and no sub so if you have the cash it’s worth checking out for yourself. I had hoped for something like grease pencil, but with a more intuitive interface. I like the ideas presented here but the execution falls short. The clearest example of course being fill. WHICH they’re working on to be clear. Right now, surfaces must be filled with a series of strokes, which at least appear to me like separate 3d objects. I have some difficulty wrapping my head around the “draw a guide and sketch” workflow, which I grant is user error (there are a plethora of tutorials on their official channel). But it leaves me frustrated and wishing for something closer to box modeling to create draw surfaces. More than anything, it seems useful for annotations and sketches. Load a model in and then create floating notations nearby for example. And there are plenty of architectural doodles I’ve seen with the software. If you want more than that, you’ll be frustrated I think. Short wishlist of features, in no particular order, and understanding the huge lift some or all of these might be: fill finite surfaces, rigging and animation, simplified box modeling for surface creation, custom shaders, optional shrink wrapping the planar brushes to the draw surfaces, textured planar brushes (not going back and applying a shader to a stroke you’ve already laid)",

"body": "This app is a great idea, but a lot of basic features need some upgrades. Coloring something in is way more frustrating than the tutorials make it look. Colors glitch through each other, and it seems like it’s impossible to layer paint? The eraser tool is also extremely difficult to use. If I can be more picky, it also seems like there’s little options for stylistic variation outside the blocky shading style that’s used in a lot of the examples. It would be nice to have brushes with different textures and maybe even have a blend/smudge tool, but I’m not sure how difficult that would be to implement. I think what Feather is trying to do is really awesome! I can see myself using it for small personal projects. But it seems pretty bare for now.",

"body": "Like, don’t get me wrong. Beautiful app with lots of potential, relatively intuitive to understand. And ohmygod its a one time purchase not a subscription, you guys need an award for that. HOWEVER… I just wish there were more time saving tricks like a fill tool or some meshes, like a default plane would be nice 🥲 and a ruler too, as much as the auto correct tool is nice, what if i just wanted some perfect shapes? It’s just been really time consuming for me, and maybe that’s just because i’m bad 😭 because i’ve seem the stuff people do om this app and it’s jaw dropping beautiful and inspirational but my wobbly hand just can’t come close to recreating it the way they do. Plus, filling with the paintbrush has been really wonky. Lots of potential here, and i have fully belief in the capabilities and vision for the developer, and thank you so much for creating this app. Just… maybe add a few features to help beginners out? 😝🥹",

"notes": "Imagine more. Create longer. With this update, you can now import and export files across notes and optimize even your heaviest creations. We've also made major improvements to app stability and fixed a wide range of bugs. • Import .feather Files Bring in your own notes—or someone else's—and keep creating. Just tap Import in the Resources tab and select a .feather file. It’s perfect for reusing favorite assets, like furniture to decorate rooms or trees to place outside buildings. Export once, and reuse them anytime, anywhere. • Note Optimization Big ideas can lead to heavy notes. Now, you can lighten them up without losing detail. From the Home screen, select a note and tap 'Lighten'. The file size will be much smaller, with minimal visual changes. Choose individual groups to optimize, or let the app automatically create a lightweight copy. Use it with confidence. Other Fixes and Improvements • Fixed an issue where performance would drop significantly after working on a single note for a long time. • Resolved a bug that caused parts of the color wheel UI to be cut off. • Fixed brush preview issues after using the Injector tool. • Improved responsiveness across several parts of the interface. • Undo now correctly restores curves and 3D guides. • Stamp tools now deactivate if the group in use is deleted. • Floor shadows and edges now render more naturally. Keep your desk tidy—our improved AR Viewer is on the way! Visit youtube.com/@feather_3d for an early look at what’s coming next."
