MOSTLY FANTASTIC

I tried this app out and found it to be fantastic for drawing various diagrams and layouts. I immediately purchased the full version to be able to access the different layers. I use the app for accurate renditions of floor plans and schematics and use the layers to display or hide things like furniture or electrical plans. The only reason that I don’t give it 5 stars is that there are a few bugs within the program. When you are zooming in your measurements drop from 12” to 1” to 3” to 1/16”….the 1” and 3” should be reversed. It would also benefit from some measurement between 1” and 1/16”, perhaps 1/2” or 1/4”? Also if you ever click the undo button the app turns back on ALL of your layers, even the ones you had turned off or hidden. Small things, but annoying. I hope to come back to revise my rating once they fix the bugs.

Simple beyond usefulness

I started in, read the very brief user guide and liked what I saw, so I bought it. £10 and worth a pop or so I thought.
Using the grid at 10cm scale you get operation using the grid to an accuracy of 1 cm, ok for my house plan or so I thought but even then, having moved a line by mistake it would not snap back to where it had been. Line with measure leaves text artifacts on your drawing which, if you remove a line, do not disappear and have to be laboriously removed bit by bit with the eraser tool.
I couldn’t find an undo/redo.
Worst of all one’s finger is always over exactly where you need to see the precise position of the end of a line, you can’t see where to stop.
I hate leaving bad reviews but this is useless.

Awful what did I pay for ??

I had payed for the full version used it had things saved on the platform and I have come on the app to see that I didn’t have the permissions for the full version anymore so had to restore them and now all of the projects and drawings I had completed and saved and need to access are no longer there

Exactly As Advertised

Does exactly what it says on the tin, I never leave reviews on anything, but it's refreshing to find something simple that just works.

Great; but lost my project due to issue

Loving this app so far! Only issues so far =
1. I believe there should be a short, simple tutorial for how to use the software and what each tool does when you first open the app; it was a tiny bit confusing for me as a designer, I can imagine it being even more so for people new to these apps.
2. I was just working on a project/design for almost and hour, and after using the duplicate tool pretty consistently before rotating each duplicate, The app suddenly lagged and completely reset on me, deleting my project all together. I believe it would be helpful to have an auto save option.
