Disappointing
Be aware and DO NOT BUY
Love this design app
Used to be amazing
Es muy bueno
Please, I beg you,
Practically unusable
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 wasnโt 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 itโs a great piece of software, but I canโt back a pricing model that turns what was once an affordable, one-time purchase into an ongoing yearly expense.
Itโs sad to walk away from an app I truly enjoyed, but I wonโt support a pricing model that forces loyal customers into an expensive recurring subscription.

Updated Review
Edit: new update and can finally open it now. However, you want me to pay a yearly subscription for something I already paid for when you first came out with the Gold version? Why should I have to pay 4 times more per year than the original cost? It says there is some sort of special for those loyal gold customers but it doesnโt last. After that you pay $80 per year. WHAT? I was here from the beginning. You can check or Iโll happily send it to you. I paid for it from the beginning too. For the whole kit and caboodle - every new โfloor levelโ and pack released. I even got other people to pay for it. I humbly apologize to those I sent here who are now faced with additional fees. You would have been better served keeping with the original business model where customers chose to pay for new items. I would have if I liked them. Just as I did before. But this? You will lose loyal customers over this and that is a shame because we are the ones that helped build your customer base with our builds and posts and running events or contests on your FB page or our little groups that got more people to your app and page. That from one of your winners multiple times over. Iโm not feeling particularly โfuzzyโ towards even mentioning this app to anyone ever again, actually. But to be honest, at $80 a year, youโll be losing potentially new customers too. That is a whooping amount for an app like this. Especially when there are much more refined apps designed for professional designers with far more accuracy, detail, and dimensional planning capability that cost less. You may not have taken the time to review the competition but Iโve looked at several similar apps over the years when I was first getting into designing tiny homes. Loyalty, ease, and cost kept me here. Cost is no longer a part of that with this new model and loyalty croaked when you wanted to charge me repeatedly for something I already paid for. Ease? Well, Iโm smart enough to learn new things easily.
And I thought I was devastated when I couldnโt use this for so many months after your update changed everything. Guess itโs safe to say that, in comparison, that was an understatement.
