As a designer I often want to sketch up things in my mobile. I really want a native Sailfish CAD app...

I've tested the free Android apps ZWCAD and GstarCAD pro from play store but none of them works as I want. Has anyone else tested some Android CAD apps free or paid that works well with Jolla?

ZWCAD is a very good app, easy to use and a lot of functions but freezes a lot and a restart of the app is the only solution, of course all work is lost.

GstarCAD works well but I can't find any way to define exact values which makes the app pretty useless.

A CAD app would be really nice indeed. However a CAD app is quite a big task and there aren't that many SFOS users so that a company can write/port one. Applications (native) are a problem with SFOS and we still need paid apps to be enabled.

even good (and reasonably priced) Desktop-CAD-apps are hard to find...

@darvari: Yes, indeed, thats why I asked also asked if someone else has any CAD app to recommend.

Now I've tested cadTouch free (from Play Store) and it works very well! It has a lot of nice features compared to other apps. I miss the magnifier at long press as GstarCAD and ZWCAD has, but it still works ok. Drawing where there's to many elements in a small space will be a bit tricky and causes a lot of zooming.

I think I'm going to buy it (about 10$).

The free version is just for evaluating and running tutorials so there's no possibility to save or even open own drawings.
