How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. iPhone downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

About 3D Mechanic: How Cars Work
Ever wondered what actually happens when you press the brake pedal, turn the wheel, or let out the clutch? 3D Mechanic puts real automotive assemblies in your hands — not diagrams, but full 3D hardware you can orbit, pull apart, and rebuild.
EIGHT REAL SYSTEMS
• Suspension — MacPherson strut (free)
• Wishbone — double A-arm suspension
• Brakes — floating caliper corner with ABS
• Steering — rack & pinion with electric power assist (66 parts)
• Drivetrain — CV axle, joints & open differential (71 parts)
• Engine — inside the four-stroke inline-four
• Clutch — pedal to flywheel, hydraulics and all (62 parts)
• Gearbox — five-speed manual, synchros and all (77 parts)
LEARN
Orbit each assembly, explode it apart, and tap any of 500+ real parts for what it does, how it fails, a pro tip, and a workshop spec sheet. Run the live animation — the bump test, brake test, steering sweep, four-stroke cycle, pedal press, gear shift — and watch every part move the way it does on a real car. Take the guided tour or toggle a translucent car body to see where the assembly lives.
BUILD
Every part starts scattered on the shop floor. Drag each one home in true workshop order — the app knows what installs next, snaps parts into place, and calls out mistakes just like a mentor would.
QUIZ
Two quiz types per system: identify parts on the 3D model, and put the assembly in the correct installation order. Best scores are saved so you can watch yourself improve.
Built for learners, new technicians, car enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to understand the machine they drive every day.
ONE PURCHASE, EVERYTHING
The MacPherson strut suspension is free. A single one-time Full Garage purchase unlocks all eight systems and every future module. No subscription, no ads, no tracking, no account — and everything works offline. Family Sharing supported.

Latest updates
2.6
New: courses, and a car on the home screen.
• Courses for seven systems, part of the Full Garage: five lessons on how each one works, then two workshop jobs, such as changing the front pads or bleeding the clutch.
• Each job goes step by step: pick the next part, the tool, its size and the torque. Do it guided first, then on your own for stars.
• An x-ray car on the home screen: tap a dot on it to open that system.
• The courses are on the home screen too, with a Continue card for the one you've started.
Founding price until October 30: after that, the Full Garage price goes up. One purchase unlocks every system, including every future one.
2.5.9
The Steering, rebuilt from the ground up.
• Rack-and-pinion steering with an electric power-assist motor, from the steering wheel to the front wheels, in detailed real parts.
• Turn lock to lock and watch the rack, tie rods and both front wheels follow. The inside wheel turns further than the outside one.
• See the power assist at work: choose how hard you turn the wheel and how fast you're going, and watch how much the motor adds.
• Tear it down stage by stage with torque specs, then build it back up and take the quiz.
