## What is Scribe Sketch?

For Property Professionals wanting to create accurate building layouts and area calculations, Scribe removes the stress from measuring, drawing up, and creating floor plans and 3D models of properties. Unlike other applications, Scribe is a low-cost and easy-to-learn option, allowing a user with little experience to start modelling properties within minutes.


Is Scribe free to use? 
After creating an account (free) you'll be able to use Scribe in its entirety for sketching your property (still free!). Your account will include 3 (free!) credits which you can use to export in our various formats, including JPG, PDF and a hosted model (URL sharing). 
After using all your credits, Scribe is still free to sketch plans, but you'll need to top up to continue exporting. For full details on pricing, please visit https://scribe.software/pricing

Scribe probably already does what you need, so don't rush to leave a review if you can't figure something out! Rather, contact us here so we can help you: scribesupport@apex-mt.com

### 1/5 — Missing Major Features

*2025-04-23*

First, any software like this for Apple products needs to either allow photos from apple device camera, or it needs to at least allow the apple formatted picture to attach, otherwise that feature is useless.  Second, there is no clean way to export or print just one file, let alone a bunch of files in mass.  We visit 200-300 properties a week and need to sketch all of those out, need something more user friendly that can add photos, allow for hand written notes, etc.  You guys are falling behind the tech 8-ball on your products and if you don’t catch up someone is going to catch you and put you out of business.  Hire someone who can get it done for you because your current developers aren’t getting it done and we are getting antsy to find something that does meet our needs.

### 1/5 — Ew

*2024-12-20*

What kind of prehistoric scam is this please for the love of Christ delete this off the search engine burn the whole app

### 1/5 — Great App - But Try To But Credits Or Get Help…

*2023-07-24, version 1.36.5*

Great app, easy to produce plans etc, but trying to buy credits or get any help is near impossible, tried live chat, email and telephone and nothing - spent hours producing plans but without credit cannot export….need to start again with a different provider..

### 1/5 — Membership required

*2023-07-18, version 1.36.5*

Doesn’t work without membership. Save yourself a download

### 2/5 — obligation de créer un compte

*2023-06-05*

Obliger de créer un compte …

### 5/5 — Productivity and accuracy

*2022-09-22, version 1.30.0*

Easy to get to grips with and efficient when drawing building layouts at a property. Super quick when linked with my Leica D2

### 1/5 — Requires subscription to use

*2022-09-13*

App listing is misleading, app is completely nonfunctional without a subscription from their website, and though they offer a free tier, it has limited usability and requires you to sign up to use.

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas sur mon iPad Pro

*2022-07-04*

Impossible de créer un nouveau projet, l’appli se relance dès que j’essaye de créer un nouveau plan donc inutile pour moi

### 1/5 — Fine if you don’t want to place furniture

*2022-06-12*

If all you want to do is place windows, doors and walls or bathroom/kitchen items this will work for you. If you want to put beds or dressers in, you’re out of luck.

### 1/5 — Not what you expect

*2022-04-10*

I wanted to like this app.  But honestly, it feels like a front to a website program.  Creating an account is difficult.  Then login in using the Apple password manager (settings) does not work consistently.  Constantly getting these notifications that are really unnecessary. Then try to create a basic plan to see what I can do; unfortunately, not all items work - some are greyed out.  The switch to 3D is not there.  So I gave up and tried to use the web interface interface instead - I can only add walls.  There is no other option.

I’m working from a recent iPad using the most recent IOS.  It should not be that difficult.
