## What is Floor Covering?

You plan to lay tiles in your house or work as a tiler?

This app helps you to plan the laying of the tiles. After entering all necessary information, the area with the tiles will be displayed. The tiles can be moved within the area with your finger. This makes it possible to optimally place the tiles to avoid very narrowly cut tiles.

If you are satisfied with the positioning of the tiles, you can view the cut tiles with the dimensions. The total number of tiles and the number of cut tiles are also displayed.

Only 6 steps are necessary:
1. Select area type
2. Input the area dimensions
3. Input the tile size
4. Enter the grout line width
5. Select the laying pattern
6. Enter the project name

## Key features

- Area dimension input
- Tile size input
- Grout line width setting

### 4/5 — Неудобство

*2026-04-17*

Хорошая программка, но как создать форму креста? Я в недоумении почему этого или нет или не понятно как? Видео как пользоваться созданием сложных форм на сайте разработчика не найти. Как же это все бесит!

### 2/5 — Geht so

*2026-02-22*

Werbung nervt massiv

### 3/5 — Great but limited edits

*2026-02-07*

This is helpful in planning layout but when you manually move it you lose control as it jumps back to where it wants to go.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. You can disable the snapping function using the magnet icon.

### 5/5 — One of my very few best apps.

*2026-01-24*

I do tile installation, therefore I use this app very often.

This app works flawlessly, very simple to use.
I do wish it had more layout options. I’m more than willing to pay for this great app!

### 1/5 — Limited functionality, unlimited ads

*2026-01-20, version 6.2*

Tried this out for five minutes, 4 of which were watching ads.  App finally locked in the middle of an ad and wouldn’t let me get back to the app.  Deleting now.

### 4/5 — Видео

*2025-12-04*

Добрый вечер! Где можно посмотреть видео, как пользоваться Px?

**Developer response:** В видео на нашем сайте показан пример того, как пользоваться Px. Для задания любой площади сначала выберите один угол помещения в качестве нулевой точки. Затем последовательно вводите координаты X и Y для всех других точек, двигаясь по часовой стрелке. Координаты X и Y показывают расстояние от нулевой точки по горизонтали и вертикали. Проще всего это сделать, если у вас есть план помещения.

### 1/5 — Nothing but Rudeness

*2025-09-07, version 6.2*

This app seemed to have potential and seems pretty straight forward; however, the option to to grout line width does not allow for decimals or multiple digit numbers.  Developer overlooked the ability to add a decimal in grout line option.  I wrote developer and this was his response - verbatim.

Begin quote

“Americans should learn math instead of eat burger:
1/16=0.0625
1/8 = 0.125
1/4=0.25
1/5=0.2”

 End Quote 

What this poor excuse for a programmer and completely overlooked was that he did not give the option to add a decimal. His insinuation, that I (as an American) do not know math, having a masters and economics, his rudeness and incompetence just cost him a customer.

### 5/5 — Лучшее приложение!

*2025-07-19*

Ставлю 5 звезд - потому что гениально и просто. Напоминает философию Стива Джобса)))

Не хватает окон.

### 1/5 — Barely usable

*2025-05-14, version 5.9*

Good for one off layout, but frequency of adverts negatively affects trying out the app.

Turned me off the app completely.

### 5/5 — Great tile layout tool!!!!

*2025-04-07*

I’ve only been in the Tile game for about five years and I know most seasoned pros wouldn’t need something like this but sometimes I just need to see the project. And this lets you do exactly that!!!!
