### 2/5 — Almost worthless

*2026-08-06*

So frustrating getting dimensions correct for what you need when you are working with an existing roof finally got thing how I wanted and bam roof is layed out crooked on one side deck had a gap between the deck and house when you try clicking on a measurement to easy to move something and when you want to move something it changes measurements so I just gave up and drawing it by hand I can do it faster than this crappie app. Have beam size set to 2x10 go and download pdf and all beams are 2x8 so go back in to change and it says 2x10 but not on material list or plans

### 2/5 — Misleading

*2026-05-10*

No mention of subscription, no usable direction to cancel the app after down loaded. Dishonest business to say the least. Now I have to lock my cc to prevent them to charge.

### 3/5 — Still a work in progress

*2025-08-07*

Need more work to justify cost

### 4/5 — Useful for Building Permit

*2025-06-27*

This app has issues, but if you’re looking to create documents to apply for a building permit, it’s the best on the market. It takes into consideration every aspect of your build and quick generates your idea. 

Personally, I’ve used it to make the overall design, then save documents for use in other apps to complete the design. Setting up a project to Save to, is very important, for the app does not save your work space unless you actively save it.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing  PDF

*2025-06-25*

Crashing/ railing not on deck

### 1/5 — Almost works

*2025-06-11*

App crashes every time I open a saved project and try to scroll through the project

### 1/5 — Bug

*2025-01-09*

The old versions from two months ago worked today and they can't add walls, stairs, everything keeps crashing, I can't do several things, my phone is an iPhone 14

### 1/5 — Can’t adjust deck rise

*2024-10-20*

It’s in their tutorial but not on the app itself.

### 3/5 — Interesting but missing simple features

*2024-10-17*

Easily designed the deck I wanted but couldn’t tell the app the height that the deck was above ground, so stair calculations weren’t useful. It was free, so I can’t complain too much.

### 1/5 — Software issues

*2024-08-16, version 1.1.0*

I read and bought this app thinking it was a good app to download for building decks after looking at YouTube tutorials and reading and trying to figure out how to use the app lo and behold it doesn’t work very well with my iPad Pro half of the buttons don’t show up and even when I save my workthe pictures are nonexisting when I go out and come back in. This definitely needs work not worth the money or go back and retrieve and make changes.

### 1/5 — Pay

*2024-07-30*

If it did cost 100$ a year might be worth it

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work cross platform

*2024-07-04*

Built a deck on iphone or web version and doesn’t open on the other device even when it shows up in builds. Cannot change the size of post used. Doesn’t provide a cut sheet for railings.

### 1/5 — Way off code

*2026-07-30*

Too rigid and way off code. Want a refund!

### 1/5 — Thief’s

*2026-07-16*

Doesn’t have the most basic functions, this is a completely useless app that steals an absurd amount of money when for whatever reason the cancel trial button apparently didn’t work.  Now I’m out $60 for an app I used for literally 2 minutes before I figured out it was trash.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-04-22*

I did not mean to get this app and immediately canceled it and as of now refusing to give me a refund and after looking at it this app is not worth the money at all missing all kinds of stuff you won’t be able to complete a deck just by their layouts anyways your throwing you money away and apple wont do a thing to help

### 1/5 — Not the greatest lots of bugs.

*2026-03-30*

Keeps telling me to upgrade when I already did.   A lot of potential but needs a lot of improvement.

### 1/5 — Absolut ungenau!!

*2026-03-26*

Es können Bauteile wie z.B. Treppen gesetzt werden, diese können aber nur händisch und sehr ungenau positioniert werden. Genaue Maße der einzelnen Positionen können nicht eingegeben werden. 
Fazit: KEINE Kaufempfehlung!! Wer ordentlich planen möchte, sollte lieber die Finger davon lassen!!!

### 1/5 — Charged me after cancel

*2026-03-16*

Used a free trial of this tool for <15 minutes didn’t work as I needed, so cancelled my trial. They ended up charged me for a full year membership after I canceled. 

Very disappointed watch out if you try to use this tool.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2026-03-07*

Can use most of the features bc I doesn’t recognize my subscription for whatever reason. Offers a pro version, I signed up, but it still doesn’t recognize it, says it started my free trial. Something is wrong with this app. And I do use other apps for work.

### 1/5 — Lost my projects

*2026-03-07*

I tried creating my house and deck three times.  All three times the app froze and deleted my drawing. And the saved plan said image not available.

### 1/5 — Free trial isn't free $60 immediately charged

*2026-01-14, version 1.4.7*

I clicked the try free for 7 days, then we'll charge you $59.99 on the 20th. I immediately got a notification saying that I have been charged $60. Today is the 13th! I want a refund you liars

### 1/5 — Hidden rip off

*2026-01-05, version 1.4.7*

If you dont watch yourself, you will be charged - “in ap purchases” is IN ADDITION to being charged

### 5/5 — Joist spacing

*2026-04-16*

It doesn’t specify the joists spacing

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!

*2026-04-06*

This app is insanely simple to use and delivers an amazing finished product.

### 5/5 — Deck design

*2026-04-01*

Great app with a lot of options user friendly

### 5/5 — Jp Hathcock

*2026-03-22, version 1.1.3*

Works great

### 5/5 — Very useful!

*2025-08-15*

If you’re a small construction service business and wear many different hats like the Engineer, Designer, Architect, and Builder etc etc. then this app is definitely for you.

### 5/5 — Easy and thorough

*2025-05-15*

This deck app took me 15 min to have a 14x12 deck with rails, cut list and now off to store with material list

### 5/5 — Always improving

*2025-04-09*

I’ve used this app for a year now and it is a work in progress and that is why I’m giving it a five star. The developer clearly knows their stuff, but more importantly they listen to feedback.  When I started using the program I reached out for help. The response was in a day and after a few updates my needs were included in the app. This is an organic app with developers that are aiming to improve their app. Well worth it.

### 5/5 — Estará….

*2024-07-02, version 1.0.9*

Es una basura…. Exijo la devolución de mi dinero. La app NO trabaja de manera correcta… se hacer mis cálculos de manera manual, y solo compré esto porque pensé que sería más fácil y más rápido… es cero confianza

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-06-15, version 1.0.9*

Excellent app very helpful and makes less work for me so I get my projects done quicker so I am making more bugs bunny now

Complaint / frustration: Very very messy and clunky with paying for the other apps and I’m still trying to work it out, I’ve paid for the bundle $118.00 odd dollars but it is still saying that to give me my cutting lists and material count lists I have to pay another $89.00 when yeah it’s a very helpful app however I’m not justifying to spend an extra $89.00 for it that’s crazy that’ll make it over $200.00 for the app in that case I wish I was the creator

### 4/5 — The app crashes constantly

*2025-10-12*

I’ll be right in the middle of trying to draw the beams or to edit stairs or the span of the deck itself or any other numerous thing and the app freezes and crashes I probably have to go through reopening the app 10 times for a simple square deck
