User reviews

No SUPPORT

I would love to write up a review. I have use this app with good success on many occasions. However I run into some snags that I would love to be able to get some help on. There is no contact information anywhere that I have been able to find on the Internet.HELP PLEASE??

Requires to be updated

No Star, because it has lost it functionality.
The New Base toggle is not attaching/importing a base image from the Photos/Albums library. To resolve the frequent crashing issue and “delayed response” of the toggle I thought it was my 6 years old iPad Pro. Now with my new iPad Pro it is worse.

Response from developer

Hi Vartanami - We're sorry to year you're having a problem. This is usually an easy fix. Apple has recently changed some privacy settings for iOS which has cut off photo access from the app for some users. If you go into Settings and find Arrette, look for Photos under "Allow Arrette to Access." If you set it to "All Photos" you should be good to go. Please contact us through the website directly if you need further help.

Best design sketching app

I’m an architect and I take work home all the time (apologies to my family...). On the way out the door I snap a photo of my current sketch and at home I can bring it into Arrette and put down any new ideas to explore in detail at work the next day. Since the app works at scale, I can sketch details without driving myself crazy the next day trying to make the furniture fit.

Not ready for use

Can't do much with this app....and the big problem is, there is almost NO instruction on how to use it. Save your money, or spend more on a more developed program.

Good until it crashes

Not worth using if I have to restart every 2 minutes. Crashes more than any app I’ve ever used.

Response from developer

Hi BeckettKael, Sorry to hear you’re having problems with crashing. We’re glad to hear you like the app otherwise. Please get in touch with us at support@arrette.com if you are able and we’ll try to troubleshoot the issue. Thanks, Arrette team
