## What is TapGlance Interior Design?

TapGlance is a powerful and intuitive interior design app. Within minutes and without any prior experience, you can create photo-realistic images of just about any interior design project you have in mind.

See TapGlance in action - https://vimeo.com/120228505

Drag and drop furniture, fixtures and appliances into your plan – more than 2000 items and materials are included with the app for free. Test material combinations using over a thousand included materials, or import your own seamless textures or camera photos.

NEW - You can now import 3D models into TapGlance directly from websites like 3DWarehouse and SketchFab. Hundreds of thousands of models are now at your disposal. A subscription to the advanced or professional plan is required to import 3D models.

You can design your plan using three different modes:
• The layout mode, where you add, remove, shape, and arrange entire rooms.
• The 2D mode, where you furnish the plan from a two-dimensional top vi
• The 3D mode, where you can walk through the plan in three-dimensional perspective, decorate it using a wide variety of furniture, fixtures and appliances, and apply materials to walls, floors and object
When your 3D scene is ready, tap a button and bring it to life using our cutting edge cloud render technology. The images produced by TapGlance are so real, most people will not be able to tell they were designed on a tablet device. In many cases, the results will far exceed even professional 3D applications, with little or no effort on your side.

NOTE - Cloud renders are performed on a dedicated high-end server farm and require an active subscription plan.

TapGlance is based on our award winning “Interior Design for iPad” app. With hundreds of thousands of users, and the distinction of being one of TIME magazine’s top 50 best apps in the world, we were compelled to push the boundaries and create this next generation interior design experience. It offers more than 75 new features and improvements as well as the revolutionary cloud render technology.

Features & Highlights:

Cloud Render (3D) - Combining cutting edge technology with hundreds of dedicated servers, TapGlance can transform your 3D scene into a photo-realistic image. The cloud render service uses real world lighting system, taking into account the environment you choose and the artificial light sources you place in your scene.

Direct Object Manipulation (2D, 3D) - Quickly move, rotate and scale any object in the scene using real-time transform handles. Easily change door and window locations by dragging them around, in 2D or 3D mode.

Stairwells (2D,3D) - Drag a staircase to a plan and TapGlance can automatically create the stairwell and build the correct railing. You can, of course, do these manually if you wish.

Cameras (3D) - TapGlance supports an unlimited number of cameras, so you can quickly and easily move between saved views of your plan and render from the same vantage point every time.

TapGlance offers auto-renewal subscription. The app itself and its content is completely free, while renders and a few professional features like 4K renders and custom logo require a subscription which auto-renews every 30 days unless cancelled.

Please read the following about the auto-renewable nature of subscriptions:
• Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscription automatically renews at the end of your current subscription period unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours prior to end of the current period.
• You can manage or turn off auto-renewal in your Apple ID Account Settings any time after purchase.
• Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2025-09-12, version 3.6.0*

I use this app recreationally to build my dream homes and it is so wonderful.

I hope this app never is removed from the App Store, I love it so very much.

### 5/5 — Great but I would love to see two other things brought to the app

*2025-06-18, version 3.6.0*

I love the app, however I wish it had a skylight option where I can take a skylight and put on top of a flat roof and an angled roof automatically. Additionally, I love to see if I can make a house with the ability to make a curved - full circle house.

### 3/5 — New updates are wack

*2024-07-12, version 3.6.0*

Have been using this app for about a decade and had loved it, with all its imperfections. Something I hate with the update is that their logo is imprinted onto every render you make or have made; I pay for renders not to advertise your app.

### 5/5 — Question

*2024-06-28, version 3.6.0*

Est t’il possible de modifier les moulures ? Si oui, comment ?

### 1/5 — This app is hard to get off

*2024-06-24, version 3.6.0*

I tried to stop my subscription but when you hit that link it automatically charged me for a new subscription.  I don’t need this app anymore and  want to stop myself subscription. How do I stop this??

### 3/5 — It’s good but irritating to work with.

*2024-05-19, version 3.5.2*

I believe this interior designing app has some strong potential but it is frustrating to work with. For example, I want to make an open space kitchen. I can’t seem to figure out how to delete walls or anything and the quick start video doesn’t show you how, just shows you how to split them. If it could be easier to figure things out and less frustrating, then I believe it would be a better app.

### 4/5 — New furniture, lighting, ceilings needed

*2024-02-21, version 3.5.2*

I enjoy the app and I’ve used it for years.  It’s time they keep up with the times.  There need to be options for steel doors, better lighting, furniture and ceiling height by room.

### 1/5 — Too many glitches and bugs

*2023-07-01, version 3.5.2*

App crashes after awhile when you’re looking for your imported model when downloaded. I’d recommend just learning sketch up and some sort ware program like lumion or revit.

### 5/5 — Perfeito

*2023-06-06, version 3.5.2*

Melhor app de arquitetura que ja vi! Uso muito

### 4/5 — Furniture/Rug Options

*2023-01-28, version 3.5.1*

I would love if they could update their furniture selections with simple and clean designs.  I love the addition of the Calico collection, but you can’t manipulate the sizes.  I use this app for quick furniture layouts for clients and it would be so nice if I could just have a white and or neutral option for the furniture and especially the rugs.  Just a simple sisal would be such an improvement.
