IOS or Android

_Ðave_

I'm having trouble getting anything done using my android tablet. Before I go buy an IOS phone or tablet can someone tell me if it will function any better.

Thanks

I am not sure that the iOS works much better than the Android. I find that using the iPad is a lot slower for most functions than use on the browser. With practice, you do get a little quicker but still nothing like using the browser as it takes longer to navigate into the toolbar/menu. I find especially find  adding sketch constraints painfull and miss the quick keys but having said that I regular use the iPhone to make some change while on the run.

I'd really love a dxf export for iOS, lots of times I could have used that.

I Tried it once on my android powered camera, it seamed comparable to the ios version, missing the press to zoom feature, but otherwise really similar, but it's been a long time since I've used android.

I found Onshape very slow on a Samsung Galaxy tab A 10.1 so be careful that you buy something with relatively powerful specs whatever you get. I can't imagine Onshape varies much in use between iOS or Android so maybe think about what other things you'd do on the device and see what suits best.

If you have one near by, an Apple store might let you download Onshape and try it on an iPad if you asked them nicely.

Sorry upon rereading I realize that I neglected to state that my problem was with using Onshape.

Thanks Dave

What part of the experience is giving you trouble?

  I exclusively use my iphone 6s for modeling in onshape, So I can give you some insight into how it works. The only parts that I turn to using my computer for are importing/exporting and writing feature script.

• I see that you are using IOS without major issues. I can't even figure out how to create a new document with this android tablet. I can't find sketch constraints or dimensions.
• Is this funstionality missing in the android.
• Should I get a device with IOS
