Great app

Love how designs are realistic. Also the plan and measurements are also accurate which I found impressive.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! We’re really glad you found the designs realistic and the plans and measurements accurate. That’s exactly the experience we’re aiming to deliver.

Style over substance

Lots of effort put in to measuring space accurately but very superficial design created with ineffective editing. We stated that we were doing the work ourselves but there was no adjustment for this. There is no consideration of shaded areas or sun direction and expose. If you want a pretty picture for a tenner it’s fine but pretty disappointing and not fit for purpose. Usability is also bad to the point of being annoying. Must try harder team! Client experience is everything…

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re sorry the experience didn’t meet your expectations, particularly around the design output, editing tools, and usability. We’re currently working on improvements to the design and editing experience, including how the app handles different project requirements and how easy it is to make changes. Your comments around DIY projects, shaded areas, sun direction and overall usability are especially useful, and we’re feeding these into the improvements we’re making. We appreciate you giving the app a try and hope we can deliver a much better experience in future updates.

Have to subscribe

Once I’d downloaded the app, and after 3 attempts of new codes I was finally in to use it. The next page was to subscribe/pay in order to be able to use it. I assumed the advertising within the app would cover its costs, and it would therefore be free. Seems to be free when you download. I may aswell use ChatGPT which is free!

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. Just to clarify, there are no ads in the app. It’s free to download, with access to the service available through a paid subscription. The login code can take a few seconds to arrive, so we appreciate your patience there. We also take your point that the pricing should be clear before you get too far into the app, and we’re reviewing how we communicate this more clearly.

Not recommended. Does half a job.

This has so much potential but falls short in a few areas. Firstly, before you commit to a subscription there is readily available information advising what is included, just some vague ‘10 credits’.

Spent some time mapping all the borders for my garden. Took multiple photos. My garden design photo at the end showed one small corner. Nothing on the rest of the garden. What is the point of mapping these borders if they are ignored?

It added a brick dividing wall to replace my neighbours fence in the background! Utterly stupid and not within the brief. It also added some expensive paving to replace my gravel. I revised the design (beware, you can only do this once!) asking it to replace the pavers with the existing gravel and it added MORE paving.

It doesn’t provide a planting scheme or list of plants to buy.

At the end of it I’ve paid £10 for a pretty picture of the corner of my garden using materials I specifically asked it to remove.

It seems that in order to get it to do anything else I have to pay another £40!!!

I cannot recommend this app, ChatGPT will do this quicker and for free and won’t try and con you in the process.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. We’re sorry the final design didn’t reflect the garden you mapped or the changes you specifically requested. The issues you’ve highlighted around border mapping, retaining existing materials, design revisions and clearer information about what’s included are all areas we’re actively working to improve. We also agree that users should have a much clearer understanding of what their credits include before subscribing. We appreciate the detail in your review. It’s useful feedback and helps us identify where the experience needs to be better.

Incredible! So pleased we found Spacelift

I can’t quite explain how excellent this app is. The quality of the designs it produced from a photo of our garden was far better than I anticipated, and it gave us ideas we simply wouldn’t have come up with on our own, and has saved us so much time procrastinating.

Instead of spending hours looking for inspiration and trying to piece together different ideas, we had several well-thought-out concepts to compare within minutes. It made it much easier to picture what our garden could become.

The guidance and support you receive with the project pack is phenomenal. It made us feel in control the whole way, whilst laying everything out step by step. We are now on the journey to transforming our garden, and I cannot imagine how much SpaceLift has saved us in time and money, considering what you’d normally pay for professional design input of this quality.

I think the subscription offers excellent value. Even if it helps you avoid one costly mistake or gives you the confidence to move forward with a plan, it more than pays for itself.

I’ve already recommended it to friends who are planning garden projects, and I’d happily subscribe again.

Disappointing

I was on the waitlist the. missed a free trial so decided to pay for one month. The app is severely limited in what it allows you do to, eg not able to delete or restart a project, try a different style etc. The only option is to pay more to create new projects. I wish I hadn’t bothered - a very frustrating experience.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to write this, and I'm sorry your first project was a frustrating one. That isn't the experience we want anyone to have. You've flagged fair points. Being able to try different styles on the same space is coming very soon - "Save My Space" is an exciting new feature to be launched soon. We will also then be increasing the number of iterations per project, together with easier ways to restart and manage your projects being next on our list. This kind of feedback is exactly what helps us get there faster. I'd like to make this right for you directly. If you drop us a line at info@spaceliftapp.com or drop us a note within the app and mention this review, we'll look after you properly. The Spacelift Team

Beautiful Designs

A must for anyone struggling to design their garden, but unable to spend thousands of pounds on designs! I have been desperate to create a beautiful outdoor space for ages. I just didn't know where to start. Then I saw Spacelift on Instagram. It is fabulous! It's helped me visualise my space in a really easy and affordable way. I've tried every design style so far and love the "Cotswold Chic" style the best. The mapping tool is so much fun!

Beautiful and realistic

Amazing to be be able to design something beautiful and be given what I need to actually create it. I’m excited to get started on my garden using the plans from here.

Disaster garden to Hosting Space

We got the keys to our house in December, and after moving in we neglected the space. SpaceLift helped us visualise loads of different ideas and gave us a clear plan for how we could transform the space.

We're now bringing those plans to life and the difference is already amazing. We even hosted our first BBQ in the garden this weekend, which felt like a huge milestone! ☀️🍔

Such a brilliant app for helping you see the potential in your garden. Highly recommend ✨

Great app

Really helped me see what I can do with my garden

Stylish results

After registering on the waitlist I was thrilled to get to try out the app.
It’s generated beautiful designs with realistic images, unlike the images created by other AI apps I have tried.
I upgraded to the design package which was incredibly helpful and provided more detailed images and far more information!

Wish I could get a refund

App is very glitchy and poorly thought out. Whilst it’s very cool how it measures and maps the space, it does not retain these details, so every time you want to design your space you have to remeasure. In addition it only allows you to edit your design once which is ridiculous since the designs it creates are non-sensical eg it put a fence up across the back of my house blocking all my windows when I had already uploaded my main vantage point. All in all I feel like I’ve been massively ripped off. The concept sounded great, but think you’re better off using a free AI app like ChatGPT to do a better job.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. I'm really sorry the experience hasn't matched the concept, and I completely understand your frustration. I want to be upfront with you on a couple of things. Space scan persistence is something we're actively working on and will be releasing soon, so that pain point won't be around for long. On editing, we're also extending the app to allow three design iterations, which will give you much more control over the outcome. On the design quality, the more detail you put in when setting up your project, the better the results. Adding everything you want to include, but also actively declining elements you don't want, makes a real difference to what the AI produces. It's very much a case of what you put in is what you get out, and we'd love to help you get a better result if you're willing to give it another go. If you'd prefer a refund, please email us directly at info@spaceliftapp.com and we'll sort it out for you. One thing worth clarifying: tools like ChatGPT have no knowledge of your actual garden. Spacelift scans your real space, measures it, and designs within those specific dimensions. It's a genuinely different category of product, and we believe the experience will reflect that much more clearly as these improvements land.

Stunning garden redesign App

Absolutely impressed! The Spacelift AI Garden Design App transformed my garden ideas into stunning, realistic designs with minutes. I especially loved the diverse style options from Cotswold, classic, Japanese to Urban Chic, plus many more styles. The app is easy to use, incredibly creative, simply pick a style or tell it your own ideas, and it brings it to life. Feels like having a professional landscape designer at your fingertips without the hassle of waiting days for someone to call you back. Highly recommended!

Real Inspiration for Amateurs

Very good idea, and well executed. And I can see how it will become more and more useful over time.

Garden Complete!

Well the first stage is. Used Spacelift to redesign my back garden which has given great ideas together with my plan pack which will help me build. Brilliant!

Not ready yet

The garden mapping function is great and easy to use. The design function (which is the main one you want) doesn’t work properly yet. You can’t switch between designs without remapping your entire garden again. Bit of a waste of time and money really. But at least they gave me a refund as they acknowledge it’s not working correctly yet.

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest feedback and we're glad the garden mapping worked well for you. You're absolutely right that switching between designs without remapping is a limitation right now and we're sorry that impacted your experience. This is something we're actively working on and will be available in an upcoming update. We hope you'll give us another try when it's live, and we'd love the chance to show you what the full experience can deliver!

Crashes

I wanted to like this but couldn’t get it to run on my iPhone - after installing and opening the app it immediately crashed, so I uninstalled it. Pity. Nice looking interface so giving it a couple of points for design

Response from developer

Coming back to this, we've made launch far more stable since June after fixing crashes some devices were seeing, so it's well worth a second try. Thanks again for the kind words on the design, we'd love to show you the rest of it. Please email info@spaceliftapp.com and refer to this post. The Spacelift Team

Could be so good

I found this such a disappointing experience. I’m not really sure what I got for my money- having paid £30 for three months of the pro version, I have now found out that actually seeing the plans that have been created would cost £40 more!! I have been given a list of links to furniture and accessories I could buy (ummmmm…. Thanks?) but nothing useful like a list of plants! I bought into this because it seemed a much more ethical approach to AI design (since it draws on design from the studio) but this hasn’t delivered anything like value for money. Two stars because it could be good …. But right now it’s really not.

Response from developer

Hi Calsterrr many thanks for your review - it's exactly the kind of honest feedback we need to hear. You're right that the Project Pack is an additional purchase on top of the Pro subscription, and we understand why that feels like a lot when you've already committed £30. We also know we need to be clearer upfront about what's included at each stage, that's something we're actively working on. On plants a fair point, and it's on the roadmap to build into. We'd love to make this right for you. Drop us a line at hello@spaceliftapp.com and we'll make sure you're getting the most from what you've paid for.

Waste of money

I paid for a garden design. It crashed half way through. Tried to contact support no reply for days. Waste of money, really disappointed

Saves so much time and money

I have a pretty empty garden and I had no idea what to do with it. I ran my garden through the app using the mapping technology and was really impressed with just that alone! I explored a few different styles and set what I wanted in my garden. The designs are all fantastic! It’s so much better than just using ChatGPT because this actually knows what I want and what my garden can handle. And saves so much money paying a landscaper!
