I tried scanning my room with the app, but trying to load in all the doors and windows was horrible. I had to try it like three times and it still doesn’t work so I decided to delete the app because it’s a waste of my time. ### 2/5 — waste of time *2025-07-23, version 4.79* this app has real potential, but it consistently bombards with offers to purchase something when you first open it. it lags more than it should, you can’t save progress to reload the app in case something bugs out (unless you purchase a premium version), and it causes more of a headache than it relieves. the ability to add real furniture from existing stores is a wonderful but limited feature. wish it could extend to other retailers like amazon with an up-to-date range of products. spent the time scanning my living room just for the controls to glitch out, and the progress reset due to having to restart the app. wouldn’t use again. ### 1/5 — i have full access but i cant change the color of the doors lol *2025-07-05, version 4.79* i have full access but i cant change the color of the doors lol ### 1/5 — This app shouldn’t be up *2025-06-30, version 4.79* This app barely works at all. It never saves my progress so it’s not even like I can work off of something for multiple days. I have to finish it in one sitting so I can screenshot it. I’ve been having this problem for a week. I’ve been giving it chances for a week and it just doesn’t save anything. ### 1/5 — horriable *2025-06-30, version 4.79* very expensive and when i tried the free trial it wouldn’t even let me do anything. like the free trial didnt work. ### 1/5 — Worst app bro ts does not even load in its slow and why do is a imagenary pixel bed out of stock lik *2025-06-08, version 4.79* E wfym I can’t put it in my IMAGINATION ROOM! It’s so complicated and annoying frick this app ### 2/5 — Saving Work is a Premium Feature? *2025-06-02, version 4.79* I find it ridiculous that something so simple as saving your work in this app requires a premium subscription. Turned me off entirely from what used to be an otherwise decent room design app. I enjoyed creating on Realize before it was updated to be like this. ### 1/5 — Lagging *2025-04-23, version 4.78* I tried using it and its always not working right sometimes the app was not working and other times its lagging ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2025-04-08, version 4.78* The app does what it advertises, except that you can’t save anything you make without paying, and it crashes every 2 seconds before you even have a chance to save anyways. Wasted 2 hours on a design only for the app to crash and lost all my progress. Waste of time, probably an even bigger waste of money, thank god I didn’t pay for anything before testing it out. If you just want to temporarily plan and decorate rooms, you can as long as you’re willing to deal with lag and fixing things 24/7, but there are so many other apps that can do better. ### 1/5 — so confusing terrible app *2025-03-30, version 4.78* TERRIBLE ### 1/5 — Apps keep crashing *2025-03-29, version 4.78* App for some reason crashes making it basically unusable ### 1/5 — How the hell? *2025-03-14, version 4.78* I don’t know how to use the app and what the hell are ‘floating walls’?? There is no help on how to fix this either. And the ‘help’ button does work because it just shows you what anyone with a brain will automatically know what to do. ### 1/5 — It just keeps loading *2025-03-10, version 4.77* I downloaded to try and figure out a way I can rearrange my room, to where I know I’ll have more space. TikTok recommended this, app but it never loaded I sat her for so long waiting and trying to fix it but no luck. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Room scan *2026-06-28, version 4.79* On bottom corners it gets mismatched and misaligned ### 1/5 — Dont work scanning my room *2026-03-21, version 4.79* No matter how hard I try when I scan my room accessories it just fails. unless I’m doing it wrong I don’t know if it’s the app not recognising it or it’s just me ### 1/5 — THIS ADD *2026-03-20, version 4.79* THIS APP IS HORRIBLE I REGRET WASTING MY TIME AND MONEY ITS SOO SLOW AND HARD TO MOVE AROUND🤦‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Really useless *2026-03-05, version 4.79* This app looked great when I saw it advertised on tiktok so I went ahead and downloaded it, first of all the tutorial was a good help, but afterwards you realise just how little you can actually do without a subscription. I bought the free trial, used the services that it had and it did have more things but not a lot of furnitures or other props. Making walls/pillars is real difficult as well, this design app will just test your patience. Oh and also don’t buy their subscriptions, they don’t do refunds and it’s like £44 😬 ### 1/5 — Slow and laggy and just bad overall *2026-02-26, version 4.79* I dont ever do reviews but this app was bad enough for me to make one also 45$ yearly is outrageous, better off just using pencil and paper to layout your room ### 1/5 — THSI SUCKS *2026-02-15, version 4.79* You shouldnt have to pay like whatttttt your annoying ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-01-20, version 4.79* Have to pay for it no cm option to draw out room ### 1/5 — Terrible mechanics *2025-12-13, version 4.79* This app is terrible. U will see when you download it and try to use it ### 1/5 — terrible lag *2025-11-17, version 4.79* extremely laggy i literally cant do anything ### 1/5 — Taking my money *2025-11-10, version 4.79* I canceled this sub and you took 48 goddamn dollars out my account. Give it back ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app is amazing 😻 *2026-01-26, version 4.79* I just got this app and a love it! ### 5/5 — I hate the app *2024-12-12, version 4.77* It takes forever to load. I have swiped out of every app and turned off my phone so many times and I just can’t even get to the homepage. It takes forever. ### 5/5 — Worked Great for Me! *2024-12-05, version 4.77* I see a lot of negative reviews but I found this app super helpful! I can be a little tricky to get the hang of how to work things at first but once you figure it out it’s pretty easy. Of course the measurements won’t be perfectly accurate but it’s close enough to be able to create an almost exact layout of a room and fill it with similar furniture. All in all I would give it a 8.5 with room for growth, I was happy with my experience and used it many times! ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP *2024-10-19, version 4.77* But it takes a long time to load or it’s just my internet but I FRICKEN LOVE THE APP THOUGH!!! ### 5/5 — Loading! *2024-09-07, version 4.77* I just got the app, but I can’t even go into the app. It just loads. ### 5/5 — Great for planning furniture placement! *2024-07-27, version 4.76* I love this app for planning how I am going to lay out my furniture. You can put in the exact dimensions of the room and also make the furniture be the dimensions you need it to be. It was awesome when I was moving and planning out what furniture I needed and how I wanted to organize it all. ### 5/5 — Zane the third *2024-05-17, version 4.75* This app is just amazing don’t be fooled when it I told you to pay just click the X and you’re all good. Also, the rooms are a little small maybe just make them bigger but it said that it’s a really good game. When are we game and it did help me fix my room and everything it’s amazing go check out my TikTok channel. It’s Zane the third 🇲🇽🇬🇧 ### 5/5 — Incredible for apartment planning *2023-12-03, version 4.44* Absolutely shocked at how great this is for moving things around and measuring. I use to create floor plans in the sims and try to make layouts from that but it always took forever getting things to scale and finding items that are similar to the furniture i have. Thank god i saw a tiktok about this app, i just moved and will be using this to create my dream space. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-11-01, version 4.37* Rly supprized me with the features its great ### 5/5 — AMAZING ROOM PLANNING *2023-10-10, version 4.35* i wanted to redo my room completely and i have never found an app as good as this. a few months ago, before updates, im going to be honest, i didn’t like it. but since then, i used this app again and it’s literally PERFECTION. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
