biiCADo Touch Pro for mobiles for Android
What a great drafting app....! I've tried quite a few different ones and this is definitely the best, it has all the features that you would expect to see and need in a 2D drafting app.
Outstanding 2d CAD app for drawing, the best I have used on Android. This is optimized for a tablet in my opinion. I use it for writing milling center programs on a vertical CNC mill machine. Works well for calculating x,y,z coordinates and tangent points. This is the only Cad app I found that allows precision inputs on a command line. It also saves the dxf as a PDF document. *The last few updates makes this excellent CAD even better* Great job developers!
I saw this app run smoother on a weaker exynos processor, which is disappointing.
I've been using this app for almost a year now. Once I adjusted all units to 1 inch, I have been able to design and experiment with with part placement with a high degree of precision. End result, only purchase required parts. Keep up the great work!
Posted this 01/10/2016. Fixed by 03/10/2016. That's service. Back to 5 star. ---------------------Loved this app for quick and dirty first drafts and ideas, but since the latest pro update I have noticed that the create PDF routine does not do colour. I tried with DXF files that I had already saved with colour and these also saved as monochrome.
Works with AutoCAD drawings.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'm impressed and I don't say that often about Android apps. I haven't used my CAD (PC) for some time, but this is so close, in function and content, it came right back to me. If you want a real 2D CAD for Android, you've found it! There are a few very minor problems (a couple buttons not in English, for example), but nothing major. The developer is very open to reports and request.
I have updatedupgraded my review because the app is now much better in terms of user input and the new GUI is very good and seems easier to use. This app has always been more stable than others but have not had much time to test yet.
The best CAD for a mobile. Very easy to use. This update brings speed & a little easier to use layout. (?) Time will tell. Used on on Nexus 4. Good job Dev.
The best cad for mobile that i have found.
This would be great on a Tablet!.... (Or, so I thought in February....). I installed it on a Dell Venue 8 7840. It attempts to open, then Crashes!
Used to need a powerful computer, now just pull out my phone.
Lags on my xperia z1
Basic, proper cad functionality seems to be all here. Looking forward to testing every feature as time goes. Will be interesting to see this app develop further. VERY NICE WORK! Google Nexus 7-2012
My HTC Desire 526 phone loved the app. This would be great on a Tablet!.... (Or, so I thought....). I installed it on a Dell Venue 8 7000. It attempts to open, then Crashes!
The best cad for mobile that i have found. Would rate 5 start if they added the function to import jpeg pictures.
I'm going to give 5 stars when you add dwg support.
Very excellent need to add 3d extrude etc. and if possible rendering tools. if you have used Autocad then you'll love it
Outstanding CAD app for drawing, the best I have used on a tablet. This is no phone toy. It is very similar to AutoCAD 2000, missing a few features, but adding others.I use it for writing milling center programs on a vertical CNC mill machine. Works well for calculating x,y,z coordinates and tangent points. This is the only Cad app I found that allows precision inputs on a command line. A calculator for input fields would be a good feature as well.
So far, the only useful and workable CAD on Android (I have tried a few!).Thanks!

Very good the best. Has all the tools you need for 2d drawing. Very easy to see what you are doing. Entry of coordinates easy and versatile. Could do with more control over dimensions like scaling to drawing scale. Save file feature needs a bit of polish. But apart from those small problems, excellent program just like using a pc for cad
I hope this cad is here to stay. I can use this cad for actual machine work. Purchased the pro version after 30 minutes. Excellent program.
This is a great 2 drawing app. Well worth the cost. Works well on my note3.
Good app, I bought that
If you want to change any settings within the app good luck. When menu settings are opened such as the grid menu or layer menu they zoom in really close and get fuzzy. Because of this you are unable to make changes.
Very nice very useful to me this application. Thanks . Please add the 3d program.
BiiCADo is Autocad in a matchbox. It is an astonishing achievement to have shrunk the behemoth down to 15.6mb – and to have done so in a manner that simplifies the interface without leaving out anything important. Layers, x-lines and dimension styles are all here alongside a comprehensive set of drafting and editing tools. (You have to dig though to find them all). Touch-screen wrinkles include a 'magnifier' that shows what is going on under your finger-tip, and a screen that automatically clears away all extraneous stuff while you are editing so that you have maximum 'real estate' to play with. You can design jewellery or a steam locomotive with this program – any limitations you encounter will have more to do with your micro-screen (and eye-sight!) than with the software itself. Be warned though – shrinking a cad program does not (unfortunately) shrink the learning curve. All such programs demand a considerable investment of time and effort. But BiiCADo's industry-standard protocols mean that the skills you acquire will be transferable to other cad programs and are therefore worth having. To sum up; the only truly professional 2D drafting App in Android I know of.
I have been waiting for an app like this. Worth every penny. It does everything I've been looking for.
I would love to see a side app that uses 2D cad files and creates g-code for milling and lathe cnc machines. End mill / tapper milling / drilling. Lathe turning.
Simply the best CAD app out there. I wish i had this exact software on my pc. Cuts out everything that is useless in CAD and puts all the useful items in good order.
I am used to Autocad on pc. Have acquired the Tablet Gtn8000. This ap is brilliant and user friendly. For my applications it is 100%. Worth it. Professional.
Really like this app and the developer is very supportive and responsive but the reliance on coordinate input really limits it's tab /mobile usage for my style of drawing . Has been surpassed by much more intuitive apps like CAD touch. Admittedly this app has more functions overall but archaic numeric input method let's it down IMHO.

Nice all basic tools works great for me There is only 1 problem da tools its hidden they should bring it front all basic tools like line offset mirrors trims extend circle rectangle points ;) rest all is superb I really like it
Great CAD app. The best out there for Android. Would be nice to have a circumference dimension.
biiCADo is easy to use with an intuitive interface. It is placed at the midpoint in terms of price but this is justified by the range of tools and the quality of the interface. It would be good to have a few more tools available or enhancements to the current tools, e.g. macros for repetitive copies, both linear and rotational. The developers are quick to respond to any problems. Nexus 10 4v4
The icons fade can't see them most of the time. Also the background changes too if set at white it will go to black. Can you please fix I really like this app it will be the best on the market

Great option to create cad drawings on tablet, as they are new to android i have given 5 stars as its a good app unlike others it works offline with no login required and I would like to support development and for it to become android standard cad app. Most other cad apps on android are no longer actively developed. Its well polished and functional. That being said doesnt seem to support s-pen, and the trial version promts for subscription for full functionality and neglects to mention there is a one time fee pro version as an alternative to subscription.Its very promising so i have given the extra star.
