### 2/5 — Frequently crashes

*2025-07-31*

I can’t get past loading the plants without the app crashing.

### 1/5 — Sadly, not what I was hoping for.

*2025-07-05*

I’ve been looking for an app to help lay out some basic beds in my yard. Thought this might work. I downloaded it thinking I could print a garden plan based on the plants I placed in the AR design. Unfortunately the app does not produce a garden plan. It only gives you plans for the pre designed gardens already in the app. Disappointing.

### 1/5 — App won’t even load on startup.

*2025-05-07*

App won’t load.  It starts up, changes orientation to landscape, then has a background with a white daisy. No progress from there after 10 minutes. Multiple attempts to close the app and reload. No progress. Same issue. 
Tried to get assistance on the product support page. Filled out all requested info, detailed my problem… it won’t submit. “There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later.”  No thanks. I’m done.

### 1/5 — Can’t get past postal code entered it several times and I can’t pass the first screen garbage

*2025-05-06, version 1.8.1*

All in the title

### 1/5 — Don’t…

*2025-04-24*

…unless you’re an experienced landscape designer who is already very experienced in using design tools, this app is pretty much useless.  There’s minimal in app support, and no online support.  There’s multiple HomeOutside apps, but they do not interface.  You can’t import a photo into the app to design around, and all you get is the planner app is a bunch of blobs of color to move around. As I say, all this may not be problematic for experienced designers, but this app is certainly not for a newcomer.

### 5/5 — So fun

*2025-04-15*

Love hanging out and seeing my backyard vision come to life!

### 5/5 — What I’ve been waiting for

*2025-04-14*

Update - it’s now free! Even more opportunities to explore landscaping ideas. 

I’ve been wanting to update my landscape, but I don’t have a lot of talent or knowledge of what plants to choose. This app makes it incredibly easy to visualize different options with tips/suggestions. I especially like that it knows which Zone I’m in to provide relevant planting options for my climate.

**Developer response:** We're happy to hear that it's been helpful! Thank you for your comment.

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2025-04-14*

I love this app as a way to visualize ideas I have for my space. I am new to gardening so learning which plants work in different areas is really helpful. I love that it offers me the ability to buy my selections with free delivery too, instead of having to make a big list and search for the selections. It makes choosing less stressful and more fun. Also it’s free.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2025-04-07, version 1.7*

You have to purchase to download the app but then to use it you have to subscribe. Scam

### 5/5 — Fun to mess with and USEFUL!

*2025-03-16*

As a Home Outside customer (in our last home), this update is such a great tool! It really puts you in the drivers seat so you can get experimental. Would definitely reco - even the free version is great!
