Multiple quality improvements.

Pretty good but the mirror?

Had fun placing furniture like side tables etc. but went to put a mirror on the wall and it was in the wrong orientation, like it was flat, not hanging. And I couldn’t change it 😔

Incredibly slow on a new iPhone 14 Pro

Developers. Ive used this app years ago in 2017 or 2016. It was much better with my older phone. It took forever to load on my new iPhone 14 Pro. Which has a much more powerful CPU , GPU and more RAM. Not to mention a LiDAR too. Like watching paint dry getting to 99% when you start the app. Took several tries.

Program Manager for iOS dev in Ikea should take note that this needs more QA.

Poor App

Installed today, only showed one item in it and not even work on my iPhone 12 Pro Max with iOS 16.0.1, IKEA really need to replace their hole software team, they even not tested on recent iPhone models, AR technology is so popular today, but they still can not finger it out, totally waste of time and large salaries payment, fire them!

Only works intermittently and has very small selection of furniture

This is a very cool app, when it works. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why it only works for certain items on my LIDAR equipped iPad Pro. This inconsistency makes it a frustrating experience and the lack of feedback for errors makes for a poor user experience. Based on the developer responses to other reviews, this is a known issue for at least a year. Are you simply not going to fix this critical bug? To boot, the selection of furniture is very small. We were not able to find any of the furniture items we’re interested in. Also, the browse UI is a real drag. Having to scroll through multiple sections hoping you’ll find what you want just worsens the UX. Hey product managers making these terrible interface decisions, search is a thing and it’s not that hard to implement.

Between the small selection and the flakiness, this app is ultimately useless for us.

Response from developer

Hej JC SV Thank you for reaching out. We're sorry that you experienced this problem, but we're more than happy to help fix this issue. Try to delete and then reinstall IKEA Place, that should hopefully solve the problem. We hope you'll continue to use IKEA Place in the future.

Very limited selection

UI is glitchy and freezes frequently. Very limited selection from the IKEA catalog, and no organization of variants — ie you can’t compare finishes of the same item, there’s no relationship between items defined. Unforgivable: no search function, and no collections. You just have to browse every category hoping to find the item you’re interested in. This app could be SO helpful and useful and instead it’s very disappointing.

Response from developer

Hi kobachi. Thank you for taking your time to review IKEA Place. We are working on an issue where the camera video view is glitchy and we expect to have an update available soon. We are also working on improving the app features including some of you suggestion so please stay tuned for improvements.
