### 2/5 — Will be AWESOME when it’s done!

*2026-08-11, version 12.03*

I’m installing a new home network and need a reliable, easy-to-use floor plan design tool. I’ve become frustrated with drawing apps that are advertised as "good for home design" but lean more toward sketching and conceptual design without true drafting aids.
This app looked amazing. However, after testing it on just one room, I ran into several UI issues. For example, when a wall is created, a small oval appears with options, but the icons are barely visible. Additionally, something as simple as Cmd+Z for undo does not work.
Not being able to undo easily is a huge drawback. One of the app's best features is the ability to define wall segments and intersections in a continuous workflow rather than drawing each wall individually. Unfortunately, if you make a mistake, you can't simply press Cmd+Z to fix it.
As others have mentioned, the app feels like it is still in an early Alpha phase. Based on my brief test, this has the potential to be a fantastic home design tool, but it is currently too early in development to be useful for me.

### 3/5 — Incomplete update broke app

*2026-08-04, version 12.01*

The update completely designed from ground up left out important features and made it less useful. Hopefully Scott will see this because there is no way to report whats missing. Or for that matter bugs. Specifically there is no longer a measure tool - really useful feature. And you can no longer import a PNG so it’s not possible to redraw something. Thats what I’ve found so far. Can no longer use the app unfortunately.

### 3/5 — It’s better than the apps you pay for

*2026-07-22, version 11.33*

I like it I just don’t like the fact it’s limited but at the same time I do understand because it has no ads so yeah!

### 5/5 — '

*2026-07-21, version 11.33*

Really fun and easy  to work with

### 5/5 — It’s so good

*2026-07-19, version 11.33*

I’m Vera. I’m only 10 and I’ve been using this when ever I can, mostly just to design my dream house. I love house designer. It’s the best game on EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — May I make a Suggestion?

*2026-07-16, version 11.33*

I love your app so much but I think it could be better. I think that you should be able to have like a search bar so I’m looking for “porch” and I can’t find it. I can use the search bar and search up “porch” and it would pop up.

### 4/5 — great app, room for improvement.

*2026-07-15, version 11.33*

it’s a great app has app the basics and fairly easy to operate. it does need a few more basic options like a garage door option and some cabinet options and a few other basic things but otherwise it’s great for a basic layout or designing.

### 4/5 — Great idea!

*2026-07-13, version 11.33*

This is a fun app, fairly easy to understand and design floor plans. A few details need to be added, like adding stairway landings and more nicer looking textures and paint colors and decor. Outside ground elevation would be a good addition too. Sometimes there are glitches when clicking on walls it jumps to a different room.

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-07-11, version 11.33*

LOVE THIS!!

### 4/5 — It won’t let me buy it!

*2026-07-10, version 11.33*

I installed it to test and it’s seems like a great app. I want to purchase it, but when I try, the only option I get is “Restore purchase”, which shows an empty error message when I try it and doesn’t do anything. I checked my purchase history to make sure I’m not missing anything and no purchase shows. I also tried the “contact developer” option so I could ask directly, but that’s not working either. This seems to be the only way to reach out. I’m afraid if I uninstall and reinstall that I might possibly lose the work I’ve done so far. But that may be the next thing I try.
