Limited customization options hinder the ability to create fully tailored AR experiences, making it challenging to achieve unique branding and design elements.

"Frustrating experience"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Zapworks?

Easy to create simple AR using designer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zapworks?

There are so many things wrong with Zapworks designer that it's hard to know where to start.

Managing and tagging projects. They've removed lots of useful elements that were in the legacy software.

The UI is awful with a few useful elements, but many many basic essential editing tools missing. It's hard to select and edit objects if you have things close together. You can't have a button that makes a sound AND has another action. You can reorder your scenes etc etc.

It feels like a half finished beta And I feel like I've been duped into continuing to pay for an amateurish piece of software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zapworks:

I think in Studio then the possibilities are endless.

However I can't recommend Designer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zapworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

I mainly use it in education settings to improve kids IT literacy and as a fun way of documenting and presenting their work. I also train teachers to integrate it into their toolbox Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is still a tiny bit of hesitation when it comes to QR codes in some industrys but having the deep links helps to overcome this challenge a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The perfect AR platform for 3d artists"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Zapworks?

For me it's the UI, it was very easy to get to grips with. Being able to visualise my scene in 3d directly inside Zapworks is extremely helpful. Animating from within Zapworks using states and timelines is a dream and it makes creating immersive AR experience even easier. The community pages are great as well, I have little to none coding experience but have been able to pick up and understand bits and pieces from other users of Zapworks.

Overall, the whole Zapworks experience is very smooth, from starting with a blank project all the way through to publishing I have never had any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zapworks?

One thing I think is lacking with Zapworks would be a snap to grid option, I often feel it can be a bit tedious trying to align a 3d object to the floor or the surface of a tracking image. Support for World tracking and cylindrical tracking for WebAR, I believe these are currently in beta for Zapworks though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zapworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zapworks has become a major integration into our Business, and the end result has been amazing. We went from not knowing much about AR to offering it as the main option for our clients and have delivered some great experiences.

Our clients are noticing a lot more interactivity with their brand and love to be at the forefront of emerging technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Practically Perfect"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Zapworks?

I very much like that you can create AR experiences without needing to code and that there are several tools to help design a unique experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zapworks?

The user interface on the web to manage and create projects can be a little clunky and projects can get a little untidy with the way they are listed. The ability to tag a project and group them can be unreliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Zappar Overview"

4/5

What do you like best about Zapworks?

It is free to begin with if you are not a company, just a personal account. It is straightforward to get started with the Widget feature, and if you are familiar with Storyline or building in Captivate, then Designer will be right up your alley. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zapworks?

The upper levels of ZapWorks are very code development heavy. If you are not a coder, then it will be a challenge. ZapWorks offers lots of tutorials and code you can copy, but it will be a challenge, so be patient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zapworks:

Have a business case for using AR in your organization then try it out with lots of feedback before launching. The full license is expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zapworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Adding Augmented Reality into marketing campaigns gives our customers a wow factor when they are in demos. We are also adding AR into training guidebooks to add interactivity. The students love to scan the codes on their devices and interact with content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Most versatile webAR tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Zapworks?

It's a very versatile tool for web augmented reality and more. I personally use their Universal AR SDK to develop experiences for the web with their various tracking.

Highly reccomended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zapworks?

There are general limitations to webAR development, and a lot of care needs to be put into optimization especially.

I would love to see some of their tracking improve even more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
