### 2/5 — Not great~

*2026-07-23, version 2.10.5*

After uploading a floor plan you have to trace over the lines!! I didn’t even get past that part because it took me half an hour to trace, then I realized I forgot Windows and doors. Who would want to spend their day tracing a floor plan?? If you’re installing this just for fun then it might be okay, but not if you’re trying to get an instant floor plan to 3d model. Hope you find this helpful.

### 3/5 — Bug needs fixing

*2026-06-26, version 2.10.4*

The app is great overall, but there seems to be a bug that needs to be fixed to make it easier. When you upload a floor plan and try to build off of that, you can’t set the scale. Whenever I try to set the scale and then select “accept”, it doesn’t accept my scale and then I’m working with incorrect proportions. Please fix this, thank you!

### 4/5 — Mein Zimmer is schon

*2026-06-09, version 2.10.4*

Yayayayaya

### 4/5 — Good but one bug

*2026-04-25, version 2.10.1*

I love this game, it’s so creative, and I would give it a five stars but there is one problem with it. I’ve been playing for a while now, and when I go into houses and try to go like from the ground floor to the first floor but I only see ground floor and the only way for me to get tho floor two is to add a new floor so now I have like 20 floors but other than that I love the game there are really no ads and I love the game I’m into interior design and this app has everything but just please fix this one thing and then this game would be five stars thank you for making this app.

### 3/5 — Great app but for some reason wont stay connected to Wi-Fi, and not a big selection on things

*2026-04-24, version 2.10.1*

Maybe if we get a huge variety of things and styles on products it would be better. I also don’t know what’s wrong with the app but it’s the only app i struggle with for it to keep connected by Wi-Fi for more than just a few mins. I have restarted my Wi-Fi and disconnected the tv and phone to the Wi-Fi, it should work. Love the ai camera mapping feature tho

### 4/5 — Loved it, but recent changes aren’t great…

*2026-04-02, version 2.9*

I really loved this app, and it has helped me find a lot of products that I needed (yes, retailers of products included). 

But recent software changes (?) have removed many helpful features, and have negated use/change of currently installed features. For example, now I can’t add molding (nor remove or change what is installed from before the software change). 

I can’t add chair-rail or even remove what I currently see on the 3-D. I’ve found that these changes, plus many other decorative features like trim, boiserie options, or crown molding completely gone and totally inaccessible, even if they are currently already installed. 

Also, I used to be able to move furniture or accessories completely outside of the design to temporarily ‘store’ them out of the frame as I looked at various options. 

Now, I can’t even move a sofa from one room to another if the “hallway” in between won’t accomodate the size, as if it were real-life, even if said sofa would perfectly fit in the other room, and should be able to be moved. 

It makes it hard to visualize the products in the space.

After a very long remodel, I’m pretty experienced with this app, so it’s not user error. Going online for help only shows the previous “how to” and says nothing about new changes and instructions after the recent update.

So all in all, many detrimental changes, but it’s still fairly helpful to find what you need and viualize it in -situ.

### 3/5 — Great features but very jank

*2026-03-20, version 2.9*

The app has a lot of useful features and you can do a lot with it. However, it does need a lot of user testing and bug fixing because the user experience is very poor. I would not recommend purchasing a premium subscription because of how difficult it is to perform some simple tasks.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-03-15, version 2.8*

This is a great app but I think that you should be able to have more creativity in the furniture and other stuff.

### 4/5 — Adoro

*2026-03-09*

Incrível porém acho um pouco frustrante que só dá para fazer 2 projetos.

### 1/5 — Don’t get why it’s no longer free?

*2026-03-01, version 2.8*

Don’t get me wrong here, the added features are BRILLIANT. But not required, and that’s where MY problem with the app comes in. You now have to pay for a membership to get some of the old features, plus about two of the new features. 

Ideas for the developers: Make it so you can make someone in a collaboration project ADMIN. Because otherwise, if you’d really like to add someone who you can’t reach on your device, you can’t even get a friend to do it? Please also make the membership even cheaper, then I MAY consider.
Updated version:
Even when I delete a project, it still says I do not have enough credits. Developers are clearly unaware that people use it privately and not for business.

### 1/5 — Good but terrible

*2026-07-05, version 2.10.5*

Great app overall especially compared to others but it CONSTANTLY freezes and crashes when i attempt to add furniture

### 1/5 — Encountered app breaking bugs.

*2026-05-30, version 2.10.3*

Couldn’t sign up, couldn’t start a project. Apparently my requests kept ‘timing out’. No longer interested in this app, but thought you’d like to know there are bugs that need fixing. I’m on the latest iOS.

### 1/5 — My project got deleted out of nowhere.

*2026-05-22, version 2.10.3*

I’ve been working on something for a while before it abruptly gave an error code and deleted my project. I’m freaking.

### 1/5 — ups and downs

*2026-05-03, version 2.10.1*

Why. I thought this would be GOOD! It worked fine for a few, basically had no problems, but it just randomly crashed and sent me to the front page to plan another room, I LOST ALL MY PROGRESS ON DESIGNING THAT ROOM! It was literally good until it just said “invalid: out of bounds” and then proceeded to GET ME OUT THE PROJECT WITHOUT SAVING IT! It took SO long just for me to figure out how to use it comfortably, as soon as i was comfortable, BOOM! Just dont waste your time with this, seriously.

### 1/5 — Downloaded on iPad tried for 10 mins with tutorial- unusable

*2026-04-19, version 2.10*

Was unable to do anything at all. Worked in IT for 30 years so not unused to apps- but maybe I’m missing something

### 1/5 — Horrible controls

*2026-04-18, version 2.10*

Bad controls and undo doesn’t do much. Making a single wall is a struggle.

### 1/5 — App doesnt work

*2026-04-18, version 2.10*

doesnt let me log in and even when trying to create project without account it errors out before i can even create a room - ive been consistently re trying for over 2 weeks with no luck.

### 1/5 — Do not waste time use a different app

*2026-04-15, version 2.10*

I have put so many hours into this app trying to design my new him but between the horrendous load time, constant disconnecting, crashes, lost saves and ever ‘deleted project’ messages I’ve decided to just start again on another app.

Truly one of the most frustrating and unreliable user experiences I’ve ever had on any software.

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2026-04-13, version 2.10*

Previously I’d really liked the app. It gave me good furniture and decorating options. After a while I returned to it to you know do some designing. However, when I just added one chair and I clicked the furniture icon, it said ‘sorry out of bounds index layout problem’. I tried it like several more times before redownloading the app. Apparently it can’t be fixed because it did the annoying ‘out of bounds index problem’ again. I feel like there is a bug in the system and the developers need to pay better attention next time. Was going to give a 5 star review but because of this decided against it. 

The developers really need to rethink the app.

### 1/5 — worst app

*2026-04-01, version 2.9*

Waste of my time.  everytime I got close to making it look legit. It glitches out and deletes everything I did.  3 times in a row.  POs app

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2026-07-07, version 2.10.5*

Its really a great tool to design your home.  Helped me share my  vision and idea with others.

### 5/5 — Actually very enjoyable

*2026-06-01, version 2.10.3*

Very clean looking and simple to use,
 Many home design apps are terrible in so many ways, 
I like this one :)
Community designs and add-ons are so awesome, I never ever pay for bs subscriptions…, but there is a possibility i may actually pay in the future when i’ll be planning some enclosure builds for my pet ferrets.

### 5/5 — Enfin un outil accessible et pro

*2026-05-26*

Je rénove ma maison et grâce à cet outil et son fabuleux catalogue j’ai pu faire mes plans en 2D et 3D au plus proche de ce que je voulais en deco avec la version free. De tous les outils de plan et design intérieur que j’ai pu tester c’est de loin le meilleur

### 5/5 — Great App Hands Down

*2026-05-26, version 2.10.3*

I’ve used this app for 3 years and always have enjoyed it. I’m able to do all that I need to do. Love the walk through feature.

### 5/5 — So easy

*2026-05-24, version 2.10.3*

Helped me work out what I could have in my room based on its size and furniture dimensions, not just rely on my imagination and wish list!

### 5/5 — Home

*2026-04-24, version 2.10.1*

Awesome

### 5/5 — My fave design platform

*2026-03-27, version 2.9*

It's so good, I'm just sad that you have a limit of projects now:( you have to pay for more now BUT you don't have to pay to use all the decorations and everything so it's top tier I'm telling y'all

### 5/5 — C

*2026-03-14*

### 5/5 — amazing!!

*2026-03-14, version 2.8*

### 5/5 — Incrível

*2026-03-02*
