### 1/5 — Money back please

*2024-03-31*

Trash!! I downloaded to see what an exterior paint on my house would look like. It was $1.99 but Should have been free for the functionality that it offers. The rendering looks completely unrealistic and it’s also hard to manipulate. Colors also don’t match the colors that you select. Utter trash!! I would like my money back, please.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2023-11-01*

No fine tuning, no exposure control, totally useless app. I turned to Photoshop and got the job done.

### 1/5 — Can’t believe I wasted $1.99 on this

*2023-06-24*

The whole point is ease - if I thought I was going to have to crash course myself in photoshop I would have just used photoshop. Awful. Hope you enjoy my $2 bucks.

### 1/5 — Super Elementary

*2023-03-27*

Waste of money. You cannot color a simple colonial. I wasn’t doing anything complex, just color of house and new shingles. Does not account for windows or doors. Only thing you can do is paint squares. Your better off with a regular editing app. This does not make anything easier

### 1/5 — Windows? Can’t work around!

*2022-08-09, version 1.5.0*

Can’t work around windows to see how different exteriors would look.  A simple “duplicate” button would make it almost doable but you have to map out each window and shutter and door separately and it takes too long - but I didn’t have the time ( hours) to get the details done so I gave up. 
Really want a refund.

### 1/5 — Good idea poor execution

*2022-01-01, version 1.5.0*

I thought this would be exactly what I was looking for, however it’s far to simplistic. The materials to put on your house are far too plain. The wood options are all the exact same design only different colors. No shake or board and batting designs just horizontal boards. Not worth the few bucks.

### 1/5 — Unusable due to the design itself

*2021-09-17, version 1.4.1*

The large white circles are too big to see anything behind them. I cannot make the fine-tuning details on the picture itself. I want a change made to this or my money back.

### 1/5 — One star for annoying dialog

*2021-02-28, version 1.2.1*

In App Store settings I have the “In-app Ratings & Reviews” toggle set to off but the app ignores this immediately asks me for feedback the SECOND I use the app. 1 star for obnoxious behavior.

### 4/5 — Whew! It took a minute

*2021-02-06, version 1.2.1*

After several attempts, I finally figured out what to do. Definitely watch the video first if you’ve never used an app like this. Overall, very good experience.

### 5/5 — Simple and Effective

*2021-01-15, version 1.2.0*

My wife and I are planning to repaint our house this coming summer and I’ve spent countless hours dinking with GIMP (it’s basically the free and open source equivalent to Photoshop) trying to drop overlay paint colors over different parts of the house.

I struggled a little bit but found a ‘how to’ video inside the app that helped. After making a couple mock-ups, I gotta say this is essentially taking what I was attempting to do in GIMP and Photoshop and streamlining it into an app. There’s layer control and everything. Except this has preloaded textures like brick and stuff which is sweet.

Now I kinda want to try taking a new picture and mocking up a retaining wall out front. I feel like it would work okay.

Only downside for me, sometimes the shape corners are hard for me to grab when I’m not zoomed in?

**Developer response:** We're happy to hear you found the BluePrintz app so easy to use! We're always looking for ways to make the exterior design process better, so your experience adjusting shape corners is especially helpful. We're a small team, and I will make sure your feedback gets into the development backlog. If there's ever anything else you need, you can always send us feedback right from the Help section of the app. Thanks for using BluePrintz, and happy designing!
