Flawed App and Outdated

Finishes and tiles online brochure aren’t available in this app. The “AR” doesn’t work. The pool I design (tried to recreate my existing pool) looks very amateur and cartoonish…yeah, a pool you’d find on a Bugs Bunny show. There’s no option for designing a remodel to existing pool. Just go visit the showroom and forget this app.

Awful

You can’t change the dimensions within the app… Going to assume that feature is hidden somewhere in the UI..? Unsure, but after trying multiple times I gave up.

Would I recommend? No
Would I use again? No

Horrible

I would not recommend this at all… it only lets you edit certain things and for me, I need to edit an entire pool design, not just things like pavers and finishing. So don’t get this app, complete waste of time.

Terrible App

This might be the worst app for any rendering needs I’ve ever seen. Unintuitive, inaccurate, and very difficult to navigate. At no point does it give you even a close approximation of what your pool will look like. App design team needs to be restaffed.

Not a real pool design tool

You can’t really design a pool. It’s more of a way to see how the Npt tiles look, which is helpful. You can pick from a few basic designs or from a few pre-made pool designs that you can adjust the pool tile, coping, decking and pool color.

Limited designs/AR view doesn’t work

This is a great idea, if a little primitive compared to other similar design apps. My problem is that I want to see certain colors and they’re not showing up as options. This makes the app useless since I can’t compare the tile in the finishes I want to use. Tried reaching out through a web form but no response.

Unable to get the AR view to work on iPhone

This seems like a decent app as far as designing a pool, but I am unable to get the visual aspect to work. It asks to move the phone back-and-forth up and down slowly I’ve been doing it now for almost 2 days on and off and I cannot get it to work.

Limited

Good for looking at tile options, but very limited on designs. You have to choose preset shapes and can’t make a custom shape pool.

Awesome

Great app! Can’t imagine trying to decide on a pool without having the app to see all of the different options right in my own yard

The water color doesn’t change with the plaster choices

Trying to decide on plaster from stonescapes and the water colors don’t change based on my selections

Doesn’t work

This app does not work. I don’t know if this version is bad or what is going on. So disappointing.

Useless App

Tutorial is useless…app is useless. Don’t bother with this app

Not many options

Use it only for fun, not for professional use

Very helpful app

We were planning a pool remodel and found this app by chance. As it turns out, our first choice of bidding contractors uses NPT tile, finishes, and stonework, almost exclusively. The app provided exactly the kind of help we needed in visualizing how the styles and colors of materials will complement each other. Once you build your virtual pool, don’t forget to try the Augmented Reality (AR) view to see it in 3D in your yard. NPT has a great selection of materials, and this just adds more value and probably helped us confirm our contractor choice.

Not Enough Standard Pool Shapes

I tried this app and it’s a great concept, however it does not give an option for basic concrete or step placement at the end and corner of pool. You can’t choose a round spa on the side of the pool, only a square option. And you can’t choose a square spa on the side of the pool.

Not that useful

Design options are very limited, and even the material choices don't seem to be as broad as the catalog. Trying to use for a refurb of an existing pool and it's just not very helpful.

Looks promising… but cannot be sure.

Downloaded the App to visualize a custom pool in our yard. All the options to customize look great and easy to use. The only problem is when I get to the step to view tiles and such, the App crashes. Every time I try again, it crashes at the same place. My iPhone is compatible and updated. It’s too bad because it does look helpful…

So cool.

This thing is an amazing way to help visualize. Just about any space is totally transformed. Selection of customizations are great too, you can really get a feel for what all the choices look like in your space. Way better than holding up a magazine in the yard .
