But that’s it. Sign up and subscribe to actually use the app. Trash. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy it *2025-12-29* Don’t work you can’t design nothing ### 1/5 — Broken and Forced *2025-06-17* Requires an account, map simply doesn't work, can't load anything unless you select the specific options it provides, repeatedly asks for location sharing, continuously asks to upgrade to pro, repeatedly throws popups in your face to press buttons and check stuff out. GET OFF... Just let me explore the dang app without shoving it in my face and requiring so much information. I just want to see if this even does what it advertises. It doesn't unless you pay. **Developer response:** I’m sorry for your experience, BigNaaBruh. We’re a new app and feedback like this helps. :) We actually just increased the number of free yard features you can add to your map. You will, however still need to share your location, so definitely recommend saying yes on that for full functionality — you’ll need a satellite snapshot of your yard to redesign it. ### 5/5 — Easy to Use, Well Designed *2026-04-18* I liked my yard, but didn’t love it. This app gave me the inspiration and tools to make the backyard into what I’ve always wanted. ### 5/5 — Game changer for planning your outdoor space! *2025-11-16* Vera Design is the best DIY landscape design app I’ve used. It loads your yard instantly, lets you test ideas with drag-and-drop tools, and makes it so easy to visualize a real plan. Perfect for homeowners who want results without hiring a designer. ### 5/5 — Good when Pinterest gets overwhelming *2025-07-28* I knew what I wanted for my backyard but had a hard time explaining it. This app helped me get on the same page as my husband before we have our contractor start our project. You’re able to grab items from a collection of things and put them right onto your own yard. Every time you make a change, you can see how your budget changes. Would recommend for anyone else in my shoes. ### 5/5 — Useful landscape design tool *2025-07-28* I’m in the landscape industry and have found this app to be very helpful. I can quickly get to a concept plan, saving significant time in design phases and approvals. ### 5/5 — Yard of My Dreams *2025-07-04* I’ve wanted to refresh my yard for a long time but the task always seemed so daunting. Enter Vera. Having options laid out in front of me is a game changer. Now I can envision all the elements I’d like: an outdoor kitchen and dining area and lounge area, a firepit, a raised kitchen garden - all in the right dimensions in my yard! Plus the things I hadn’t fully thought about beforehand but need to add to the plan: trees, hedges, pathways. Using the Pro version had even more options and let me finish out a layout my dream yard. Now I just need to figure out how to finance this! **Developer response:** Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled the options in Vera helped turn your yard dreams into a tangible plan. ### 5/5 — Great Yard Design for Beginners *2025-06-26* I know nothing about landscaping and Vera is providing a lot of visual examples to help start imaging what my jungle of a yard might become. The text that goes along with the great pictures is helping me think through different selection trades and learn the lingo so the contractors won’t take me for a ride. I also love the 3D modeling tailored to my space and selections. I’m looking forward to continuing to use Vera! **Developer response:** We're delighted that Vera's visual examples helped you get a head start on your planning. Good luck with the project! ### 5/5 — Very helpful! *2025-06-23* This app is great at translating your yard improvement dreams into realistic plans. The satellite image aspect of this app is so helpful! It helped me visualize exactly what can (and cannot) work in my space. I feel ready to tackle some projects on my own as well as reach out to a few professionals in the future. I also appreciate there’s a weekly subscription option. This was perfect for drafting a specific project I had in mind. **Developer response:** So glad that Vera's satellite imagery and realistic planning process helped you draft out your project! ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-06-18* Been looking for an app to help create the yard of my dreams. This is it! I love the different designs and things you can customize with it. **Developer response:** Thanks, Leroy. Very glad all of the design options helped! ### 5/5 — Awesome App for my landscaping projects! *2025-06-13* I can’t say enough good things about the Vera app. I love seeing the changes to my yard in real time. There are features and suggested material I didn’t even consider or know about — Very cool! **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review! Happy the suggested materials helped you consider new options for your yard! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
