Pros and Cons
This game is super addictive! I enjoy it a lot. The challenges are fun and allow you to really put your own unique spin on things, and play with creativity. However, some of the content (fabrics, finishes, etc.) are easier and less expensive to access, and others (generally, the cooler ones 😝) are more expensive and more difficult to access. You can save up your resources and access things little by little bit, but by the time you are able to, it feels like it wasn’t worth it. It seems as though this is to encourage you to make in-app purchases of resources to access the items sooner. I’m not opposed to doing that if I really enjoy a game, but the value in this case doesn’t seem great for what you get when making a purchase, so I haven’t yet. I wish they would either increase the value of the purchases you make in-app, or slightly decrease the barrier to obtaining the items in-game.
Edited 7/2/21: still playing, so that says a lot…! I’ve been making in-app purchases cause I’m a fan and don’t mind spending money on something I enjoy, but this game gets progressively put behind more and more pay walls which is starting to annoy me. The designs are costing more and more resources to make (I just passed on one that requires 16 items), and the season rewards only give you 5 items now instead of 10. Sad to see them getting more and more stingy. As a loyal customer, I’m starting to feel turned off by this. 🙄Show lessLindsay K. Siverson
Used to be fun, but I’m done
I have been playing for over a year, but have decided to stop. If you like to just play around with designing, it is fun and addictive, but will cost you real money. Most items require gold, which is difficult to earn except the small amount they give you daily. You can’t buy the gold with the cash you earn, you have to spend real money ( which is ridiculous because very few items cost cash, so you end up with a pile of cash and no gold. I currently have over $1.4 million in cash in the game with nothing to do with it! Why can’t I buy gold with the cash??). And if you are playing it as a challenging game to compete against others, don’t bother. There is a glitch that allows players to cheat by not claiming their rewards until the beginning of the new season, allowing them to jump to the top of the leaderboard for the whole season. Players will start the season at level 40, while others who don’t cheat are at 0. It makes the entire point of the competition game irrelevant for the whole season. Redecor has been aware of the glitch for many months and has done nothing to fix it. On the plus side, you can save money because it doesn’t matter how much you spend, you won’t get on the leaderboard. So just design with the limited inventory you have and don’t spend anything because no matter how good your scores are, you won’t get on the leaderboard without cheating.Show lesspearsy21

Hi, and thank you for the valuable feedback! Like a dedicated scholar, we're always listening to suggestions: about how Redecor could improve, and about what players enjoy and what they don't. We appreciate your passion, honesty, and feedback! We have actually recently updated the leaderboard and XP systems so that the game would be as fair as possible for all players💕 Our future updates have lots of exciting features, so hopefully, you'll be back someday!🤩I love this game, but…
First of all, I love this game! It’s so fun to play. Me and my mom play it, and we have so much fun playing it together. This game is one of the few decor games that are actually fun. But I have a few suggestions and complaints. First, my mom thinks that this game cheats. She’s bought stuff and bought stuff and she says that she always has to buy more, like when she buys it, it disappears and becomes more expensive. And when it comes to voting, every design that wins is usually either white or gray. Think about it, would you want your kitchen or living room pure white. I know everybody has different taste, but it’s like they just throw it together, pick everything that’s white and don’t spend any time on it and win. The people that actually spend time and money on it don’t win. I made a design that I was very proud of and it’s in 8th place. What’s in front is all brilliant colors that don’t match at all. It’s very unimaginative. And I think that it takes to long for the designs to come out and to get the voting results. One of them I turned in and it took three days to get the results, but then my design suddenly vanished. Anyway, I think it’s a really fun game, and I would definitely recommend it. Just be prepared because it can get quite expensive.Show lesssnowberry1011
Would have have rated it higher but...
I don’t know what they did, but recently the ranking is all messed up and I think the developers want it this way. It’s awful. Instead of knowing definitively where you stand in a decorating event, the player has no idea if their current place is what is shown. In seasons past, a player knew that if it showed you were in 10th place, you were in 10th. Now if the game shows you are in 10th, for example, you may be in 10th, or 1st, or anywhere in between. You will only find out when the event is over. Rigged? Maybe. Dumb? Absolutely. Why they changed the system is beyond me. Even if the voting was rigged before the change, it still felt like it was honest. Why is it a problem? Nicer items are bought with gold, which is obtained by coming in 1-3. You are given the option to redesign the room before the event is over, if you feel you can design a better room. More than likely you would decline redesigning a room if you saw you were ranking 1-3. However now you have to guess. Am I really ranked what it shows? It’s dumb. No where else will you find a game, video or in reality, where the ranking you see reflected is not factual. The developers made a fun competitive game into a dishonest, yet fun game, which still is highly dependent on items bought with gold. To the developers: Fix the rating process, put it back to real time rankings. Otherwise see your Redecor game ranking fall in real time.Show lessJetstream13

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback and for keeping it real with us. And I am sorry that you are disappointed with the recent changes. Like a dedicated scholar, we're always listening to suggestions: about how Redecor could improve, and about what players enjoy and what they don't. We appreciate your passion, honesty, and feedback! We have grand plans for the future development of Redecor, so stay tuned - cool stuff is just around the corner 🤩Love this app, just wish there was more to do
Gave this a try and can’t believe how much I love it. It is so fun and relaxing. There are many things to choose from, even for those of us who can’t afford to pay, and gradually over time you get more. At first I didn’t do so well because I had less game money and less to work with, but it got better over time and I’ve won my share of challenges, even without having access to the “best” materials, such as a paying user would get.
My only negative comment is that there are only about 5 rooms a day to do, so there is a lot of waiting. In addition to waiting, the next room available might not be as fun depending on the requirements. For example, it might take 3-5 hours for the next room to become available, only for it to be have some country-style farmhouse-ish type requirements, which I personally find unappealing. Don’t get me wrong, I like having a wide variety of different styles to mess with, but it’s kind of disappointing when one or more of the little amount of rooms you get each day is something you don’t like. Just wish there was more choices of rooms per day, or more duels, or at least more than 2 attempts to redesign a room.
Aside from that, this app is near perfect.Show lessLucyFur910
Love this game but....
I really do enjoy this game and this is my second season. I purchase the pass but this game gets quite expensive when you have to constantly buy tokens and gold to get materials that you want. The money that you get for voting and daily tasks becomes practically worthless after so much is accumulated. There needs to be more ways to earn gold and tokens. Also I am at level 41 and the only bonus given after 30 is money. What a bummer. It should be gold, tokens, or materials. Also when one purchases the season pass it should include unlocks and materials. If a client picks materials they all should be unlocked. Sometimes there is nothing to work with that matches. I don’t mind spending for a season pass and some materials, but when I becomes too expensive it is no longer fun.
Also when people do their designs and vote I wish they would consider what the client asks for. I doubt any man would want a bright pink bathroom. When it is for a young person that requests bright and trendy I see designs that my grandmother would like. I have seen a kitchen with bright green cabinets, blue refrigerator and orange dishes get a high vote. Today I had a design that wasn’t ranking that well and decided to redesign. I repeated the same design that the first place was winning with. Her’s got a 1st place with 4.84 and mine got an 8th place at 4.26. It was exactly the same design.Show lessDewarcnc
Things To Consider
Redecor should consider not maintaining multiple items under same color option for design —- it takes away from the artistry. There should also be more and extremely difficult designs showcasing other scenery for a fuller perspective. Another thing to consider is removing the ‘up close and personal’ designs as they are boring and lack-luster. More difficult, daring and fuller perspective designs with more OUTDOOR designs covering a broader area (without forced color/item scheme) would be a bonus.
It also should be stated, just because a designer follows the instructions does not mean that the design is cohesive. A response as “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is not satisfactory when the “artistry” isn’t being judged by materials, complication and cohesion. The votes should also consider the complication of the design and its cohesiveness, the materials and their “expense value”. A basic followed design should not win over a design that is cohesive with luxurious materials that might have lacked in one area of the design, such as by using not-requested color choice. In the real world of design, complication, quality and cohesion is usually more appealing to the investor than the just basic design. In some cases, a luxurious and cohesive design is easier for an investor to become accustomed to over a basic design that the investor might have originally requested, depending on the purpose.Show lessSola1Mon
Lovely game with 2 major flaws.
I’d like to start off by saying this is a wonderful game. I adore it and suggest you download it. Sadly though, it has its downsides.
First of all, money. When you start out, you get a bunch of money. If you’re like me you’ll probably see the money and go like “Woah, I’ll never run out!” Well you’d be wrong. It drains your money so slowly you barely notice. And when you do, you vote for a while to earn more money. I’m not one to spend real money on games. Just not worth it. This game isn’t as exception, but it becomes clear that spending real money is a bit of a must if you wanna keep using your favorite colors or most expensive items. I think if you spend your money right, you can last quite a while.
The second issue is the worst. Voting. Oh. My. God. The voting is so messed up. I’ve seen absolutely hideous designs take the top 5 places, leaving the people who actually worked on theirs behind. It’s really horrible to see a bright yellow room with an equally eye-burning pink chair take first place on a “Classic Study” competition. (This is an example, never actually happened exactly, but it’s extremely accurate to how unfair the voting system is). Also why does voting take so long? It’s annoying having to wait for the money you get from the competition.
Other than these issues, this game is the absolute best designing game out there.Show lessWaterSnail_17
A DECORATORS DELIGHT
But the 4 star is for the voting. While I play for the fun and can hope I earn votes for my designs, I am finding it harder and harder to vote because so few have creative design and always at the top are the boring black, gray, whites...I.E.-A play center for kindergarten kids and the winner was black and gray. UGH. What child opens a door to that color room and feels stimulated??? And a traditional kitchen for Grandma-top winner-purple, black and gray. Um, that’s traditional for Grandma??? 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ And a recent challenge-Decorate a cool and unique room for a man from Spain, covered in Tattoos-The lead design-Black, white, Second lead-Pink, Teal and Cotton Candy walls...🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
UPDATE to 5 stars because this app is the BEST for fun and creativity! And the voting will just be what it is, beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Have fun, imagine and then design!!! Love the daily challenges and the duels!! Interesting to see what others create and so much can be learned for real life design!! It would be fun to have a free play where there are a few different scenarios each week to practice and play around with without submitting for voting, that would help pass the time between challenges and give ample opportunity to hone the skill of design. Otherwise, bring on more daily challenges and duels, I can handle them!!! 😊🥰😊Show lessKkittee
Good game but in game purchases are too expensive
This game is addicting, and I’ll even admit that I’ve spent money on this game. The most money I’ve ever spent on any pay to play game. But I personally don’t understand the point of having to rebuy a subscription every season and it seems pointless to purchase unlike a single time purchase that gives you a lifetime sub. I spent about 25 dollars on this game and will admit it wasn’t very worth it, the prices for the coins is understandable assuming it would give you an insane leg up on other people if you could purchase large amounts for a low price. But the subscription to the season should at least be the one thing worth spending money on and doesn’t give you too much of an advantage against other players without having the skill to utilize your materials. And the recent update pushes the narrative even further for people who haven’t purchased the season subscription by not giving them rewards for every level up.
Overall it’s a very good game and those are my only qualms with it, it’s very playable without spending money, but if you were to be interested enough to make an in-game purchase it’s something to consider.
Unlike many other design games, Redecor is also easily navigable and very polished looking. One of my top 5 apps on my phone.Show lessTheNameIsCarlos
