  • Doesn’t work well

    To start, the sign in procedure doesn’t work with apple saved passwords, nor does it even remember that it’s been used before. It also won’t load my saved projects. Lastly the design controls are different than industry standard and are difficult to understand and use.
  • Great program

    Great program. It gives you everything you need and the plans are very detailed. So far I haven’t had any issues saving or downloading plans
  • Completely useless

    You can’t save your design, can’t print, and it created an octagon with one side 1” shorter than the others. You can’t simply type in dimensions. It’s the most amateur app on the App Store. You would think that Simpson makes enough $$$ off of their underengineered brackets (why are the opposing screw holes right next to each other on the joist hangers?) that they could afford to design an app that is worth the electricity it takes to download, but sadly, no.

    Thanks for checking out our Deck Planner. Please take a look at version 2.0 that now syncs with the online version- same account, same projects- and now has AR and many updates, enhancements, and fixes.

    Can not save, cannot import images.

  • Appli qui plante toujours

    L’application se ferme automatiquement et nous fait perdre le projet
    Impossible de sauvegarder
    Ajustement des hauteur devrais être revu pour quand on a plusieurs paliers
    Bref une application plein de potentiel qui a besoin d’une sérieuse mise a jours
  • The process is great. But you can’t save

    There’s also issues in not being able to do diagonal stairs or small upper levels (ie; a platform coming out of a door with a single step on top of the deck). The design software is otherwise great, except there’s nowhere to access the menu to save.
  • Can’t Save???

    Great app until you find it you can’t SAVE

    Thanks for using Simpson's Deck Planner. We will be releasing an update very soon with new features and the ability to save and retrieve projects. These can also be accessed on our web version with your same login information.
  • Works well with a big flaw

    I’ve loved playing around with deck designs. It shows me how to build it and all-in-all works pretty smooth. The HUGE downside is I can’t save any deck designs. Maybe I just don’t see the save button? If so, it’s not intuitive to save.

  • PROBLEM LOADING

    I canNOT review this app because it never got passed the “downloading your design” stage, which was nothing more than providing the deck dimensions.
