The app is clunky and difficult to use with iPhone. Like an app from 10-15 years ago. Limited features and options. But more disappointing is the poor mobility. I could not rotate windows or move the furniture once placed. I am sure there’s a learning curve, but I don’t have time for this. ### 3/5 — make your vip stuff less *2026-01-03, version 2.2.3* no one can enjoy because this is ridiculous the fact you want money from a subscription . ### 3/5 — Ok, but glitchy *2025-11-02, version 2.2.1* It’s useful and intuitive but things just won’t stay where locked. Blocked out areas for kitchen cabinets and even though they’re locked they move to the upper left corner when reopening. Maybe I’m missing something but allowing feet and inches would be helpful so I find have to convert drawings from 13’ 10” to all inches when creating a room. Useful but glitchy. ### 4/5 — Easy to learn *2025-03-26, version 1.7.9* Simple for simple 2d layouts. Very basic layout with few choices, but it does what I need it to. Had a few problems with saving and the finding files. ### 5/5 — Very helpful app *2025-03-24, version 1.7.9* Rooms has helped me plan before moving furniture multiple times! It’s super easy to use. ### 4/5 — Fun once you figure out how it works *2025-03-24, version 1.7.9* Rated a four need more miscellaneous items other than for homes of offices. ### 5/5 — Room Planning *2025-02-06, version 1.7.7* It is very good for planning of room before the purchase of furniture. It is also helpful in planning a remodel. ### 5/5 — Simple easy to use app *2025-01-25, version 1.7.7* I’ve been using this app for years, and it’s an excellent tool. It’s straightforward and easy to use. One feature I love is the ability to save your room layouts. Whenever I need to rearrange furniture in my apartment, I simply revisit my saved rooms, make the changes, and instantly see how everything will fit. It’s simple, effective, and gets the job done without unnecessary bells and whistles. Highly recommend it! ### 4/5 — Great app *2024-11-05, version 1.7.7* Used it to plan out a lot of rooms during a couple recent moves. Ugh. Even used it to plan out loading up the moving van! ### 4/5 — Great App *2024-10-24, version 1.7.7* This is a great app for setting up furniture layout and placement. Just wish it had more options and the ability to change colors. ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-10-21, version 1.7.7* Couldn’t ask for a more useful app ### 5/5 — Great *2024-10-06, version 1.7.7* Great ### 5/5 — Helpful Tool *2024-09-22, version 1.7.6* I got this program 6 years ago when we were looking at apartments to see which location worked best for our furniture. Now we are buying a house and I can’t wait to plan out our new home. ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2024-08-13, version 1.7.6* I’ve used this app for several moves and room re-orgs. It’s really helpful for seeing how different layouts could work. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-08-10, version 1.7.6* I downloaded the free version to try it out. It is so easy to use I immediately bought the full version. As a teacher I'm always looking for better ways to arrange my classroom. This app allows me to try out new arrangements and look for the best fit before moving all my heavy shelves. I love the generic option that lets me create some of the more unusual furniture pieces. ### 5/5 — Super helpful!!! *2024-07-29, version 1.7.5* I cannot say enough good things about this app! We move every three or four years. I usually take careful measurements at the new place beforehand and draw floor plans, sketching in where our furniture will fit. Lots of erasing! This time, I thought there MUST be an app to help. I downloaded the free version of Rooms and tried it out. A game changer! The in-app purchase of $4.99 for the ability to save everything is absolutely worth every penny. Seriously. If you are moving and like to have a plan when you get there, it’s the best five bucks you can spend. Rooms let me “build” each room, adding doors, windows and closets, even types of flooring. Then I measured all my furniture and “built” each piece in the appropriate room, including style and color. After that, I could move the pieces around and find the best setup. My husband even got involved in the process, which was terrific. My stress level is down considerably as we approach our moving date. That’s a big deal. ### 5/5 — Perfect Dorm Planning Tool *2024-07-21, version 1.7.5* Really easy to use app. Lots of fun playing around with designing my daughter’s dorm room nd helping to plan with her roommates. ### 5/5 — Love!! *2024-07-16, version 1.7.5* Easy to use for anyone! I designed our bathroom in our new house that we added in using this app. I loved using it also for how I was going to arrange the furniture in the new rooms at our new house. ### 5/5 — Basic but useful *2024-07-15, version 1.7.5* I’ve used this app over the years. Helps a lot when it comes to planning out a space and saves your back from moving stuff around needlessly to see if it fits or if you like the flow. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buggy! *2024-11-08, version 1.7.7* I downloaded it after reading a good review, but when I went through the tutorials, I couldn’t finish the wall tutorial after trying it three times because of bugs. Moving a wall next to the edge made the wall disappear. It never did reappear, but the app still thinks it is there, apparently. It doesn’t work like what is described in the tutorial. I finally gave up. ### 1/5 — Very difficult to use on phone *2023-04-28, version 1.7.2* This app is very difficult to use, if you are going to change things around, you have to delete then re-create. Editing layout is practically impossible. It is difficult to see where the edges are when you move objects. A must not get app ### 1/5 — Rooms App … uckkkh *2023-04-09, version 1.7.2* Hair-pullingly aggravating…would rather be stuck in 17 hour traffic jam on the Cross-Island Parkway ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work can’t place anything in the room *2022-03-30, version 1.6.8* Doesn’t work can’t place anything in the room ### 1/5 — Download if you want to throw your phone across the room… *2022-01-23, version 1.6.7* Unless you have this app on a full sized iPad, It is completely unusable. The UI is dated and slow, and you’d have an easier time teaching a chicken to drive a car than move an object anywhere. Deleted it after 10 minutes because it was so awful to use. Find a different app! ### 1/5 — Crappy hard app to use *2021-12-06, version 1.6.7* I have tried and tried. I try to make simple changes and it doesn’t work or go through. Just changing the length of the room doesn’t work and makes it frustrating to use this app. I even tried to download again and use but yet again, nothing has changed with this app. So irritating ### 1/5 — Boo *2021-10-13, version 1.6.7* Not good. Too basic ### 1/5 — No good *2021-08-07, version 1.6.5* I’ve only had this app for a few days and every time I go to use it an add pops up and freezes -the only way I can get it off is to shut down the whole thing and I lose everything. It doesn’t tell you in the description that it won’t save anything unless you upgrade so there’s really no point to having us. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE APP *2020-11-02, version 1.6.5* I hate this. doesn’t work ### 1/5 — That ain’t it, chief *2020-05-10, version 1.6.5* Love the idea, not great execution. First you’re warned that you can’t save any rooms on the free version, which is totally fine. Devs gotta eat too, I get this. Went through the work of creating a room, and then when clicking on a button was presented with a full page ad. This, in and of itself, not an issue: again, you gotta make that 🧀 any way you can. But there’s no way to close the add, so you force-close the app and wham bam boom: your room is dead. I’m sure if I forked over the $$$ for the paid version it might work but...how do I know this? If your free version has this bug, than the paid version probably does to. So unless you’re willing to roll the dice, maybe try something else. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Help *2026-02-06, version 2.2.3* I’ve been using this app for probably 10 years. I love it however today I logged in for the first time in about six months and all of my rooms and folders and furniture measurements have banished. Does anyone know if there was some kind of update that White all legacy information. And if there was, is there any way to get it back? ### 5/5 — Backsaver *2025-12-05, version 2.2.3* This app has literally saved my back! Every time we rearrange our living room, we can do it virtually first before lifting anything. We have everything saved and just drag things around. Really easy to use and so helpful. Can’t live without it. ### 5/5 — Easy! *2025-12-04, version 2.2.3* I've tried all the other room layout apps and this one is the best. I can't even figure out how to use some of the others. This one is clear and easy to use and fits my purposes perfectly. I move a lot and always need to know if/how my stuff will fit. This app does it for me every time! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Easy Layouts *2025-12-02, version 2.2.3* Rooms does what it says on the tin - it provides easy layouts. Product support is excellent - an enhancement request resulted in an update within 48 hours. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2025-12-02, version 2.2.3* This app has been a great help any time I get some new furniture or move. I have all my room designs saved so I just pull it up and figure out how the new space will look and fit. Simple to use and just really helpful. Perfect! ### 5/5 — Super *2025-09-02, version 2.0.3* Top ### 5/5 — Easy and Useful *2025-08-28, version 2.0.3* This is the only room layout app I’ve found that is both easy to use and really useful. I’ve been using it for years to help every time I need to move. I just enter the dimension of the new apartment and can figure out where I want to place everything very easily. Just excellent! ### 5/5 — Very helpful app *2025-08-20, version 2.0.2* Rooms has helped me plan before moving furniture multiple times! It’s super easy to use. ### 5/5 — Less expensive room layout app *2025-07-12, version 1.7.9* This app doesn’t do any of the fancy 3D rendering, it’s just a nice simple app that you can use to rearrange a room before you start lifting heavy furniture. ### 5/5 — Love!! *2025-05-16, version 1.7.9* Easy to use for anyone! I designed our bathroom in our new house that we added in using this app. I loved using it also for how I was going to arrange the furniture in the new rooms at our new house. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
