Practically unusable
I bought Home Design 3D: Gold Edition because it was a one-time purchase. I was happy to pay for the app and even spent additional money on content because I thought I was investing in a product I could keep using.
Now, the Gold Edition has been removed and replaced with a subscription model that costs $80 a year. I get that developers need to make money, but this price is just too high for me. An annual subscription for a home design app is simply too much, especially when many of us originally picked the Gold Edition because it was not subscription-based.
What makes this especially frustrating is that I wasn’t expecting everything to be free. I would have happily paid for a reasonably priced upgrade, bought optional furniture or decor packs, or even purchased a new version as a one-time deal. Instead, the only option now is an expensive recurring subscription.
It feels like loyal customers who supported the original app have been left behind. Those of us who paid for the Gold Edition and put extra money into the app deserved a more customer-friendly upgrade path than being asked to pay $80 annually.
I genuinely loved this app, which is why writing this review is so disappointing. I still think it’s a great piece of software, but I can’t back a pricing model that turns what was once an affordable, one-time purchase into an ongoing yearly expense.
It’s sad to walk away from an app I truly enjoyed, but I won’t support a pricing model that forces loyal customers into an expensive recurring subscription.

It would be nice if y’all added multiple elevations for different types of mixed exterior siding
Great, but a BIG problem
I use this app a lot, and dits super fun getting to create a house. But, when I got the subscription, I didn’t play it for a while, and deleted it, but keeled the subscription. When I downloaded again, the subscription was gone. And it won’t let me go to the shop now. So PLEASE fix this
