### 2/5 — Have to pay after you pay

*2026-06-18, version 13.20.0*

I wanted to use the app to help redecorate a couple rooms. I paid the weekly 9.99 but then to use the features to decorate a room you have to either earn coins or buy coins.

### 1/5 — RIP off

*2025-08-30, version 13.15.2*

You pay for the subscription then every time it wants the same amount of money for a design.  Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Not for beginners

*2025-08-22, version 13.15.2*

Not very user friendly. They charge for everything. I had already paid weekly and they charged again after only a couple of designs.

### 1/5 — You sign in and then have to pay to do anything

*2025-08-09, version 13.15.1*

So I want to have a go at designing a room in my house and this appeared to have no in app purchases on the App so gave it a try. 

I had to log in with my Apple ID or google is and then every button I touched caused a pop up telling me to buy a membership. 

I couldn’t upload photos of the room I wanted to design without paying. 

I couldn’t get anything done. 

Waste of time and now have to block them from my emails and deleting the app.

### 1/5 — Charges

*2025-07-21, version 13.14.0*

This game makes you pay ten bucks a week to do basically anything!

### 1/5 — Ten Dollars

*2025-06-23, version 13.14.0*

Pretends to be free. Immediately charges to play.

### 1/5 — Nothing is“Free“

*2025-06-19, version 13.13.0*

Apparently, you can’t even do anything to just try out this app.  Impossible to navigate without a money grab for more coins or paid membership. Realized it was useless and deleted it after 3 minutes.

### 3/5 — Too expensive

*2025-06-15, version 13.13.0*

I have been using this app for a few years now and I love the community and I love creating designs but im not paying £9 per week to play

### 1/5 — This was a dud!

*2025-06-11, version 13.12.0*

Don’t do it!  Waste of time and money.   Not sure how they received all these amazing reviews.  Time to check IKEA.  Lots of ads and what you really need they’re going to charge you extra.  Save yourself the hassle.

### 1/5 — Not worth a penny

*2025-05-26, version 13.11.1*

Rubbish

### 1/5 — No game without a membership

*2025-05-26, version 13.11.1*

You HAVE to pay 9.99 for a membership to be able to do anything. Is terrible!

### 1/5 — Scammy / misleading

*2025-04-19, version 13.10.0*

I purchased coins. You can’t do anything with them. Everything you try to do requires paid membership. I paid real money for the coins and get even trial out the features.

### 1/5 — Super buggy

*2025-04-14, version 13.10.0*

Painful to navigate

### 1/5 — Obnoxiousness

*2025-01-24, version 13.5.0*

Every time I touch my screen it says wanna member ship wanna membership it’s really annoying also why am I only choosing a lamp instead of all the other things in the room

### 1/5 — ???

*2025-01-22, version 13.4.2*

I used this app years ago, and I saw it on the App Store and thought I’d re download since I loved it, it was fun when you didn’t have to PAY to do everything, I can’t save things to my Wishlist anymore because I have to pay to be a member?, I can’t design rooms of my choice because I have to PAY to be a member?, I used to use this app as my escape and to wind down and enjoy something I love but like everything else I have to pay to even use it?? It was fun when I didn’t get an ad pop up every-time I clicked on furniture to put into the room saying I have to pay for it to be placed there, in my opinion everyone has to make money somehow but charging for this type of stuff is just weird.

### 1/5 — Fake rating

*2024-12-14, version 13.4.2*

It’s just a scam uou can’t do even one design without paying and after it generates a picture that has nothing to do with the room you upload

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Pay with “tokens”

*2026-06-28, version 13.21.0*

Your $9.99 purchase only gets you 2 designs. After that you must purchase additional $9.99 tokens for more designs. What a rip off.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-30, version 13.20.0*

I paid for a week to test it, but after about four uses, it turned into a game, constantly asking for more payments, rewards, or points. It felt like a scam. The app has potential, but it should offer a full experience without constant payment prompts.” Feel free to tweak anything to match your voice!

### 1/5 — Not user friendly and requires $ continuously

*2026-03-15, version 13.16.8*

This is not a user-friendly app, and doesn’t actually provide usable suggestions for late people. For example, I asked it to simply swap out a rug that I don’t like for a different type of rug. And it gave me an entirely different room. Unimpressed. Spent $10 buying it, another $10 for additional stupid coins, and got nothing out of it.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-02-22, version 13.16.5*

There is nothing free about this app. Anything you click on will prompt you to pay. Waste of time

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-01-15, version 13.16.4*

I paid 9.99 for this just to do nothing because they want to charge extra for even opening the app. Horrible

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-01-08, version 13.16.4*

I'm surprised that in 2026 an app still looks like a video game. It's very difficult to use. You have to pay extra for any modifications. The decoration options look like toys. This app is a cartoon.

### 1/5 — Wow

*2026-01-05, version 13.16.4*

Way too expensive. $9/ to play. Insane.

### 1/5 — Terrible - not what it is represented

*2025-11-30, version 13.16.3*

This app is not for actually designing your room. It’s only a game. Money wasted.

### 1/5 — already bought membership and it asks me to buy more coins

*2025-10-22, version 13.16.1*

Paid $10 for the membership, generated 2 AI images of a room. It  asks me to buy more coins to do any more. Wasn’t that the point of the membership? Waste of money

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-10-15, version 13.16.0*

I gave very specific prompts with very specific images of a room and decor to use. Was completely unable to just have it generate my chosen furniture in a room. Not good for helping ai stage a room with already chosen items, only good for coming up w ideas if you don’t already have any of your own

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-03-03, version 13.16.7*

I’ve been using it since 2018. It is the only app that lets you upload your own items. It certainly is a novel idea and I believe it bus the only decor app that lets you do that.  I mostly find things on Pinterest, edit them, convert them to PNG files and can place them  in the room to decorate your space.  You do have to rely on outside apps in order to do that since there’s no reliable tool to edit an image within the app.  They do have a background removal tool but it is horrible. I’ve made friends with many of the designers and during the pandemic we kept close watch on each other.  It is really a cool app. I don’t see myself ever quitting it. I hope they stay around for a long time.

### 5/5 — Best game for those who love to design.

*2025-09-03, version 13.15.2*

This is the best app out there for those who love to design. It’s worth the yearly cost if you take into consideration all those dollars spent on apps that allow you five uses after you paid for it. Deco Matters has thousands of items for your designs from furniture, accessories and even outdoor trees. Let’s not forget get the pets, throw blankets, pillows I could go on and on. They even allow you to upload your stuff you find online. Perfect, perfect, perfect….don’t hesitate just get the yearly subscription. I can get lost in this app…My understanding is this is also how realtors are making online homes look so good by designing on here a taking pics. I promise you’ll not be sorry it’s worth every dime.

### 5/5 — 10/10 and here’s why

*2025-06-01, version 13.12.0*

The ability to design at will with no restrictions is amazeballs. This has unlocked my past “creative photography” hobby and design home addiction. Yes the app is better if you have paid membership. But $79 for the year (for unlimited access to all) is exponentially less the I’ve spent on design apps in a month.  Not affiliated with app, I just know it’s a good one.

### 5/5 — Decor-Matters

*2024-12-13, version 13.4.2*

A 5-star app. It has an outstanding staff that can be contacted and a great place to meet and share designs with a 
community with the same passion. All at a reasonable price.

### 5/5 — Rockin design app

*2024-06-22, version 12.4.0*

This is absolutely the best design app I’ve ever used.  It is a REAL decor app, not play a silly game and then hit you up for money to keep playing when your hooked.  I pay the once a year fee and play to my hearts delight.  I’ve download pictures of rooms for my friends and played around with designs.  If you love home decor, this is the place to be.  I’ve played around with this app for years now.  The bugs are minimal, the fun and satisfaction is endless!  Again, you want to pay the yearly fee.  Don’t mess around with the weekly.

### 5/5 — Best design app on the market!

*2024-05-26, version 12.3.2*

I love this app. Not only does it allow full creativity, it doesn’t feel like a money grab at every turn. I bought a yearly subscription at the start of the year and that’s it; no more money required until next year. I also love the supportive community. Nothing but positivity, support and lovely comments from everyone. I’ve never seen an online community like it. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

### 5/5 — Reaching For The Design Star!

### 5/5 — 5 Star Site

*2024-04-17, version 12.2.0*

Decor Matters (DM) is the perfect App for me! If you are a beginner or advanced designer you will find the support you need here. It is user friendly and inspirational. DM has created a community of very artistic designers who support each others talents and efforts.They offer a large array of resources to build stunning rooms and allow you the opportunity to use your own collection of furniture and accessories as well. I use this app weekly, if not daily, and find it satisfying, educational and relaxing. Who could ask for more! Thank you for your 5 Star website!

Dear DM,You have opened up a whole new world for me. I have always been involved in the arts, painting, drawing and interior designing.  However, I did not have the technology to professionalize my room designs.  You have solved that problem for me.  This app is a designers dream.  It’s easy to use and full of resources.  Not only that but it allows me to load my own items to the site as well. Whether someone wants to use this site/app for personal enjoyment or to assist them in their business, it is perfect.  I use mine for both.  Almost daily, I am actively working on my designs.  Don’t miss an opportunity to increase your productivity and impress your clients.  Join this 5 star community of beginning and advanced interior designers as we better ourselves and support each other.❣️
