1. 3/5Love-hate

   I have a love hate relationship with this app. When it works it’s great. But it’s constantly crashing. I would love to know if other people experienced the same problem. it takes forever to load the image library and then my screen blacks out and I have to start all over multiple times. Beyond frustrating. I can’t believe they can have a product load so slowly. I would love to know if it’s my device. When it works, it is ideal for trying to figure out your garden to get a concept of the different plants and colors and layout. It’s kind of easy to use when it works. There’s a few things that it’s really touchy about when it comes to moving the plants around. I also find trying to open my older renderings difficult. For the money that they’re asking I think these things should be working much more smoothly. I put a request in for help but didn’t hear back. When you purchase the product is pretty awesome, doesn’t have everything but it gets you started. I would like to know with other users have more up-to-date iPads. Sometimes I just want to throw it at the wall. But then it gives me a rendering that I can really work with hence my love-hate relationship.

2. 3/5Needs cheaper options

   There needs to be a mid-tier price range. I'm thinking about getting into a design career, whether it be indoor or outdoor design... I'm not sure yet. I got extremely excited when I found this app, especially for the AR mode. I felt I'd finally be able to test my skills and see how I feel redesigning my yard (a former Japanese Garden that's seen better days...). I was blown away when I saw the ONLY asking price was $30 a month or $300 a year... Now I do feel the app is worth it to the right person, it definitely holds its value it's very top notch... But my issue is at just how little you get access to with the free option. There are only 29 objects TOTAL. That includes furniture, trees, and bushes. That's not possible to work with. I don't actually work in this line of work and want to use this for personal use/entertainment. The price just simply does not work for me. Not at all. And it really is unfortunate because I don't think there's another app on the store anywhere like it. Look up a game called "house flipper" on PC. I've dumped MANY hours into that game. This could very easily take influence and benefit from that game, especially with a one time payment of some sort.

3. 2/5Not for Pros as Described

   I think this could be a fun app if you own an iPad and want to play around with a project for your home, but it’s a waste of time if you’re a pro. I can’t believe no developer has seized the market for pros looking to do some light duty design on the iPad. If pro use wasn’t mentioned in the description (or it were free) I wouldn’t have given it a two star rating so if you’re a DIYer it may be a better experience for you then it was for me. Suggestions that would make this a much better experience drafting something up on the fly in front of a client in the field: allow markup within the app and the use of a finger or, even better, Apple Pencil. I would imagine that would be really easy to integrate into the app (but I’m not a developer). Secondly, give your paying clients an adequate plant database (without having to upload a bunch of photos, for approval, by myself) labeled by a common name and the botanical name with the search feature. The names are a mess. I searched for a Pieris japonica / andromeda as the first plant for my first ‘design’ with this app, and it wasn’t there. I think that’s a pretty darn common plant in high production in the majority of the US. If those changes are made I’d be happy to try a subscription again (I used the trial for a few days) and give an updated rating.

4. 2/5Why I give it 2 stars

   For one there is no free version besides the trial where you can use products you have to subscribe, which is horrible. Besides that the app is on the right track except it’s extremely expensive for what it is. Essentially, you could just download any vector app and import your own images and do the same thing that this app does for fraction of the cost. The editing in this app isn’t advanced at all, It’s very simple. The only benefit this has is there’s a lot of products you could add besides that the app is nowhere worth the cost as you could simply do the work on many other free apps, there is no AI features that detect, move or delete backgrounds or corners or objects that other apps have. You can’t even tilt the the products you’d like to put in the project, it’s essentially a super basic resize crop function. If you have just a few items placed down, it’s very hard to select through them. There’s a long list of improvements and feature is needed before I would even consider paying $30 a year for this. If this app costed $10 a year I might buy it definitely not worth the cost currently. It’s way to basic for a professional or even an amateur looking to do any sort of real design.

5. 1/5I'm no Annie Leibovitz, but that doesn't mean you can have my photos for free!

   I just completed a stone retaining wall around a new flower bed and decided I would try out the full version of the app (I had tried the demo before - original review is below) - I was enjoying myself as well. I had known the app's plant image library was limited but the user is able to insert their own photos in the upgraded version of the app, which was acceptable. The app does not allow you to insert your own photo directly into your project, it must be uploaded to iScape's server first - and to do that you must first agree to give up all rights to your photos to the vendor, to use, sell, distribute, or just plaster all over their office as some corporate stalkeresque wallpaper. This is insane. I know my pictures aren't going to be hanging in any gallery, but they are *mine* and i'm not going to give them away to a peddler of overpriced software. What it actually is is a demo for yet another app that wants a monthly subscription to access any meaningful features. The 'free' (demo) version gives you access to 16 trees, 7 shrubs, and no constructed elements (paths, gazebos, boarders, etc.) Which makes is almost completely unusable. The app itself seems perfectly fine, just unusable without a subscription.
