It would be an easy 5 stars if it didn’t crash every 10 minutes. Then you lose 4-5 minutes of work. ### 2/5 — Could be good *2026-06-24, version 1.19.4* Could be good but even the instructions website doesn’t explain much about how to use. Can’t find settings to change measurements to imperial. Annoying ### 4/5 — Great App but needs a few improvements *2026-05-26, version 1.19.4* For the low amount this app cost it does phenomenal work. The more I use it though the more the “quirks” or bugs (not sure if they are features?) sticks out & annoys me. One: I use multiple layers in my home. There’s one for the yard (boundary lines for remodels), one for the basement, one for the 1st floor & and one for the 2nd floor & roof then one for the proposed remodels. However, if I’m working on the remodel layer with that particular floor’s layer also visible and I make a mistake and hit the “undo button” all layers suddenly become visible again. Or it only makes some visible. Or it actually hides the layer I’m in. It’s so frustrating b/c I have to go hide them again & invariably hit “undo” again - try hiding 4-5 layers b/c they overlap & confuse you. That’s my biggest pet peeve. The other pet peeve deals with dashed lines & them not “snapping to” the overlayed grid. Trying to bring a solid line to meet a dashed line (which represents a window in my work) sometimes causes it to skew & gives it an odd number like 11’9/16” or something like that. Super annoying. It would be nice to be able to delete layers. I can’t figure out how to rotate text. The “select feature” (once I found it) let’s you click on the objects. It would be nice if you could just highlight the area with an iPad keyboard’s mouse. Otherwise I might miss a pixel or a dot, have to zoom way in, then I click something else & when I try to reverse that the entire selected section defaults to its original state. The other recommendation I’d make is having a 90º pivot built in, or at least something that lets you click on a section of the wall, “pull out” an arrow & then pivot it 45º or whatever. Not that the angle has to stay on the screen when you’re finished, but it would help when working with curved walls or fireplaces built into curved walls. Otherwise what an awesome app! ### 3/5 — Save? *2026-03-22, version 1.19.4* Need to be able to save drawings & be able to go back & make changes. ### 4/5 — Wish I could convert to imperial system *2026-03-04, version 1.19.4* Metric is cool but the ability to do inches and feet would be nice! ### 4/5 — Great App…. But… *2026-02-25, version 1.19.4* Love using this app and has been very useful over many years, however I am noticing the text disappears a lot of the time and I have to re-enter it many times. Can this please be checked and fixed please. Would also be good to improve the ability to insert dwg files for editing or use as templates. It never finds my files even when following the instruction manual. Thanks. ### 3/5 — It’s fine *2026-02-03, version 1.19.4* It does what I thought it would. I wish you could share the drawing to your email or something. And wish it would store and label project names. But it did what I needed it to. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-02-03, version 1.19.4* แอปดีค่ะ มีระยะมิลลิเมตร เซนติเมตร เมตร กิโลเมตร เลยค่ะแถมใช้งานง่ายมากๆ เข้าใจง่าย แต่ว่าข้อเสียคือ ตอนเซฟรูป มันเป็นสีดำๆ ไม่รู้เราเซฟผิดรึป่าวนะ;;; ### 4/5 — It’s good *2026-02-02, version 1.19.4* But I find it hard to draw the furniture also the pro thing is like 14 dollars ### 3/5 — Love the design, but glitches! *2026-01-31, version 1.19.4* Very user friendly and easy to learn. It’s simple and perfect for my needs. However it glitches and shuts down causing my work to delete frequently which is very frustrating. So save your work often! ### 3/5 — A little clumsy *2026-01-25, version 1.19.4* It’s extremely hard to do anything not on the grid. It should be easier to place and edit text. I would love a free hand mode for ad hoc markings and things aligned with arcs and diagonals. ### 5/5 — Re: the zoom in drafting at 1mm with tendency to skew *2025-12-29, version 1.19.4* I love drafting in this app however I have a few suggestions that would assist us all with regard to the micro precision issue if for example you’re drafting a specific long measurement and using the arrow measurement feature putting a stop start isn’t ideal, Might I suggest a few features that could be added to a floating button that can be dragged around the screen similar to how Apple has the home button option I’d suggest: -Axis lock toggle X/Y -Standard grid/ Isometric grid swap with an added Z toggle for diagonal -an adjustment button or vertex select When drafting along specific axis a draw by measurement feature putting wher I can set the pointer to the starting point whilst in the mode I’m working with dotted straight measure ect then a pop up allows you to type in an x/y and or z(depending upon above suggestion) to extend the line to the desired point -at each section have a vertex generated that can be adjusted to assist in zoomed mode precision - a hypotnese draft button or simpler a connector button where 2 vertex’s can be selected then a connector or coin button can be pressed - one last suggestion would be be an adjustable overlay grid that can be toggled on and off and rotated along a pivot point from the x axis as a useful and quick way to set a specific degree into a typeable pop up field or a drag selector with a popup protractor like literally an entire mesh grid that only takes up the given space of the screen so as not to crash performance this would help with quickly drafting braces, rafters/roofing, Tile layout and other more intricate designs -I know this is long already but last suggestion I promise is a set origin/teleport style button where there’s a preset amount of selectable toggles that can be preset to certain locations throughout the draft over the multiple layers that just moves the camera hi to x-y location on the grid for quick movement within the draft (though the zoom out and drag feature works I have lost drafts before when I accidentally dragged too far away :,) All in all I love this app as it is much simpler to use on the go then blender or sketchup but i believe these few features would amplify production as I currently spend much more time trying to get precise measurements vs if I could use the above mention ui implements, May you have an awesome new year and I’m grateful for your appreciation I would also like to know is it available across platform on pc aswell as phones because I use it on my phone though pc would be awesome where I could use my Wacom tablet and have hotkeys to move around ect. ### 3/5 — Ok.. no stencils *2025-12-20, version 1.19.4* It works.. but the ad specifically shows stencils/objects like ovens couches and stairs. ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-12-18, version 1.19.4* The app is simple and easy to use with no experience. Missing a few key features, like changing measurement types, and simply being able to write or even type on the page. Over all good app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scammer App & Scammer Developer. *2026-06-27, version 1.19.4* This App is scam? Take payments $52.35 without permission. ### 1/5 — Don’t upgrade from free *2026-02-10, version 1.19.4* I appreciated getting to try it out and it was fine for a free version. But then I needed to share it. I tried to share the jpg but that was too small and no one could zoom in to see the tiny text. I upgraded to paid expecting that a PDF version would solve the problem. But the tiny font is now in some weird code and unreadable even zoomed in. And now it glitches and crashes. I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work. *2026-01-24, version 1.19.4* Sure, it’s free and that’s great but the constant freezing, crashing and loosing progress absolutely sucks. ### 1/5 — Limited Functionality *2026-01-13, version 1.19.4* I really want this to work but it just doesn’t. I’ve tried multiple times. The workflow is awkward and it’s impossible to draft at the detail that I need. To select smaller dimensions you have to zoom really close, then as you try to start drafting the page won’t adjust… making you drop the line in the wrong place to move the page so you can see where you’re going. No way to adjust the position. Duplication and move functions are equally useless. Lots of time spent trying to draw simple design and no real progress. Tried drafting a simple shed build to estimate materials - got the floor rectangle the right size but its a waste of time trying to draft anything else. Moving on to paper & pencil instead. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2026-01-02, version 1.19.4* The app kicks me out every 20-30 seconds and deletes half of whatever I did. So frustrating. ### 1/5 — เสียเงินฟรี *2025-12-30, version 1.19.4* เซฟรูปแล้วเป็นไฟล์สีดำ เปิดดูอะไรไม่ได้เลย ### 1/5 — Sucks not able to understand *2025-12-18, version 1.19.4* Sucks and not able to understand the symbolism to upload a blueprint that you want to edit ### 1/5 — Hard to understand *2025-11-28, version 1.19.4* Trying to do this program needs to have a YouTube link on how to do this ### 1/5 — Developer Has Lost Interest *2025-11-11, version 1.19.4* I’ve been using this app for a number of years now and paid to update the app for more functionality. Since then updates to the app are non exist and a number of bugs have went unfixed for over 12 months. The developer has clearly lost al interest in updating the app but suspect they will still be taking money from people who choose to upgrade. The app is littered with bugs with two being present for over a year. You name a room and it disappears and when you delete a floor plan then go back in to do a new one the old one has reappeared over the top of the new one. If you can’t be bothered to update it remove it from App Store ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-11-09, version 1.19.4* Terrible and clunky , dont bother ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-15, version 1.19.4* Love it ### 5/5 — Stephen *2026-06-12, version 1.19.4* This is the best mobile drawing program for a phone at a price you can afford. It is simple to use with some limitations after you learn the round about techniques which are undocumented, like mirroring images, scaling, zoom for selecting and reducing drawing dimensions. I would like to see manual dimension entries and editing for lines as well as a deselect option for line groups. After a few projects including floor layouts for equipment and scroll patterns, I could write a brief on tips and tricks using the programs hidden powers. I could have given it a 4, but a 5 is necessary because of the reasonable program pricing. ### 5/5 — THE BEST *2026-03-25, version 1.19.4* I love this app so so much . It is simple and very easy to create home/property layouts ### 5/5 — Help *2026-03-01, version 1.19.4* Gr8 ### 5/5 — everything i’ve always wanted *2026-02-26, version 1.19.4* very phone user friendly technical drawing app. allows me to draw things out wherever i am, go home and design them in cad. the only feature which needs better explanation is that the wheel on the corner rotates for more tools. took me a few minutes. otherwise AMAZING. id pay a subscription for this, i love it. ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-02-15, version 1.19.4* Best app I’ve found to drawl blue prints ### 5/5 — Flexible, easy to use! *2026-02-15, version 1.19.4* I really enjoy how flexible and easy to use with this product. I appreciate the opportunity to draw what I want, how I want, using the tools that are offered. ### 5/5 — Amazing BluePrint App *2026-02-14, version 1.19.4* My husband and I are wanting to build in a few years and are trying to figure out the type of layout we are wanting. So we wanted a user friendly app just to play around with layouts. But this app offers so much more. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2026-02-13, version 1.19.4* This is my favourite vector drawing program for iOS. There’s a simple but powerful combination of tools, all comfortable to reach. In fact I like it so much I’m rapidly approaching my 99 project limit. I wander if this could be extended? Many thanks :) ### 5/5 — Super easy to work with *2026-01-19, version 1.19.4* I’ve been searching for an easy way to do sketches, and this is it. Might just buy the premium version (not that you need to) as a thanks to the creator. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
