1. 1/5False Claim of Family Sharing

   Purchased on my phone but ultimately for my wife on her iPad. I have little interest in the app but after installing to my wife’s iPad through family sharing she has no access to premium features. Without premium the app is pretty bare bones to say the least and not worth her time. Why is this advertised as family sharing but then it is not. My wife is just getting the same free app that anyone in the universe can download so how is that considered family sharing. As for a review - the app seemed promising but is very cumbersome to use on a phone. Hoping it was better on iPad but will not know since all features are locked for my wife who would be the primary user. Would not have purchased on my phone had this not been falsely labeled as a family sharing app.

2. 2/5Almost awesome

   My husband owns a construction company and I’m always looking for an app that will help us in making plans for customers. I thought this was going to be it, so I bought it but now I feel like it was almost a waste of money. There are some very cool features and it has real potential but there are a few glitches that need to get worked out. 1)the app frequently freezes and crashes, 2)certain items that I’ve placed in 2D mode disappear when you switch to 3D mode, 3)some items disappear or move completely without you moving them, 4)the stairs for multi story buildings don’t transition to the second level and create an opening in the floor like they should…they just sort of stick out of the middle of the floor, 5)there aren’t as many items as I would hope for.

3. 3/5Gave up

   I gave up on this app. I’m not an architect but I have experience with industrial buildings. I am trying make a plan of what I want to do so I can give it to a real architect to remodel and expand my house, but I had to deal with too many glitches. Every time I opened to continue with a project it kept coming back to the “factory settings” I had to change the settings again to my liking. If I set an arched wall with so and so pillar intervals, it kept changing to the default settings. I couldn’t find a way to set a wall thickness. I had to change one at a time. I couldn’t control the app automatically guessing what is a room I am drawing and setting a random floor pattern. I couldn’t make an interior patio as it sets a roof on top of it. It puts ceiling fixtures at will. I couldn’t make a room with taller walls than the ones surrounding. I am either completely illiterate to find out how to do all of the above or the app is not at all friendly.

4. 2/5Seems incomplete, free version is useless for interior design and paid version is too expensive

   This seems like a project someone gave up on part way through. It’s very unpolished and full of major flaws and bugs. It isn’t very smooth to use and the different views just don’t measure up. My other big problem with this app is that the free version is worthless to anyone who wants to design the interior of a house/room. The app description is misleading: not being able to save the design is not the only restriction of the “lite” version. The majority of the furniture and nearly all of the textures are not available without paying. There are no beds, sofas, chairs, or desks available in the free version. I feel that $6 is much too high a price for basic functionality in an app that was never really finished. Good “simple” apps are typically inexpensive, with visually appealing and intuitive interface, and because they are not complex, the limited features they do have are fine-tuned and effective. This app currently does not live up to any of that. With all that said, I think this app has real potential as a basic home design program. If the developers were to pick it back up and do some major updates, it could be something quite useful and enjoyable. That said, the current price would likely still be excessive for what this app is. It’s definitely not applicable to a professional setting, and it lacks the features and functionality that would make anything above $3-4 reasonable, even if all the issues I said earlier were resolved.

5. 1/5Promising but not there yet

   I wanted to like this app and even purchased the full version, but I can't deal with it anymore. It is difficult to figure out and a tutorial would have made it a lot easier to figure out basics without having to spend literal hours to try and do just a couple of things. The items available are basic and few, but for a $5 app, I don't expect more than that. What I do expect is to be able to edit/add on to a plan I was working on after I fully exit the app and come back to it. The app force closing or just putting a thin, blue line that immediately disappears where I wanted a room is not functional. This part is what really annoyed me the most after spending a few hours to learn the basics of the app and begin a floor plan. Considering requesting a refund as this should be basic functionality of the app. I did like the app well enough until that point just to for my ideas on "paper" so to speak.
