Re do yard

Very fun awesome ideas easy to use program having a lot of fun with it

Response from developer

Thank you for using Yard AI and for taking the time to leave a review. We’re delighted that you’re having fun exploring ideas and finding the app easy to use. Wishing you lots of inspiration for your yard transformation!

Not creative

I keep getting the same design over and over

Response from developer

Thank you for using Yard AI and sharing your feedback. You can explore more varied ideas by choosing different design styles and using the text field at the bottom to request specific plants, layout changes, garden features, or a completely new look. If a result is close to what you want, save it and open Assistant. Upload the image there and use the chat to request focused changes, such as moving an object, updating one area, or refining the style.

My home

It’s amazing how you could transpose my yard into something so gorgeous

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We’re thrilled that Yard AI helped you picture a beautiful new look for your yard, and we wish you every success with the transformation.

Not great

Just gives you a generated image and asks for money you can’t customize anything. As soon as app asks for money it’s a delete for me.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Yard AI includes customization. You can generate ideas from a photo of your own garden, explore different styles, and use a free-text prompt for specific requests, such as moving an object, adding particular flowers, or changing landscaping elements. You can also try the Assistant three times for free. Full access is currently available for $2.99 for the first week.

Awful

Calling this AI is a slap in the face to AI. The pictures that it generates are awful unrealistic and follow no aesthetic design whatsoever.

Nicht zu empfehlen

Gefällt mir nicht. Ideen hässlich und nur vorgeschlagen Änderungen, die es zu noch hässlicheren Designs führten. Schade ums Geld.

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für Ihr ehrliches Feedback und die Nutzung unseres Services. Yard AI bietet viele Möglichkeiten, die Ergebnisse der Generierung zu beeinflussen – Sie können einen fertigen Stil wählen, Elemente hinzufügen, ein Design anhand eines Referenzfotos generieren sowie einen Textkommentar auf dem Editor-Bildschirm hinterlassen oder den Assistant verwenden. Es tut uns leid, dass nichts davon für Sie gepasst hat – aber falls Sie noch nicht alles ausprobiert haben, würden wir uns sehr freuen, wenn Sie der App eine zweite Chance geben.

Can’t read blue prints

Unable to Cancel after a brief attempt to create a design

I tried very briefly this App. I uploaded a picture of my backyard and made a couple of design choices. The App then stated that there was a significant discount being offered at $0.28/week. As soon as I made the choice, it billed me for an annual fee at $79.99. I tried to cancel it through My Apps but it wouldn’t cancel. I left a message alerting the developer that I was unable to cancel.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We also received your email and did our best to help, including sharing how to request a refund through Apple if needed. To clarify, the weekly amount shown with the annual plan is the discounted first-year annual price divided by 52 weeks, rather than a separate weekly subscription price. We currently also have a 50% discount promo running for the first year. Since the amount mentioned here was not included in your email, we’d be grateful if you could reply to our latest message from hi@yardai.net so we can continue assisting you directly.

Great ideas but…

Great ideas but you can’t delete the projects or renderings. I understand it’s a feature that is coming.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and for acknowledging our designs. We’re happy to confirm that we’ve added features to delete, like, and unlike generated designs. Please update to the latest version, 2.0.0, available on the App Store and enjoy the new features. If you have any other suggestions, we’re always in touch at hi@yardai.net.

It’s not free

App says free, and then wants you to pay a subscription.

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Yard AI is free to download, and your first design generation during the intro is included free of charge, so you can revisit it later anytime in the Projects tab. We also currently offer a promo where your first week is around $3–4 depending on your App Store region, and the new assistant feature comes with free attempts as well.

Upkeep

Every design has entirely too much upkeep. Needs more ideas with less upkeep….weed pulling

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your feedback. We understand that some designs may feel too high-maintenance, and low-upkeep options are important for many users. We’re continuing to improve the app’s ideas and recommendations, including inspiration for yards that need less maintenance. You can also add your own custom request in the app by including a text comment before generating a design, so you can specify preferences like lower upkeep or less weeding.

One design only

It would appear that you can only get one design without purchasing.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. That is correct — the app currently operates through a paid subscription, while your first design generation is available free of charge. At the moment, we also offer a discounted first subscription period, which means the lowest price to try the service for one week is $2.99.

Doesn’t give you any control

It generates pictures based off your own shot. I have no control and cannot make any changes. It’s completely useless.

Response from developer

Thank you for trying the app. We’re sorry to hear it did not meet your expectations. You can design your yard using your own photo as a reference, choose from different design styles, and add or remove elements such as a pool, patio, or BBQ area. If something did not work as expected, please feel free to contact us at hi@yardai.net so we can better understand your experience.

Not worth it

I have better results from using free ChatGPT than this app. I had high hopes too. It is appears to be in the very early formative stages and not worth paying for it.

Response from developer

Thank you for giving the app a try, and we’re sorry to hear it didn’t work well for you. We’d really appreciate hearing more about what you were hoping to find and what wasn’t working properly, so we can improve. Please feel free to contact us at hi@yardai.net.

Useless

Terrible

Glitchy

Glitch disables you to upload a photo, you pick one and then it’s blank.

Response from developer

We’re really sorry that a glitch ruined your experience with the app. We’d love to take a closer look and fix this for you, so could you please email us at hi@yardai.net with a bit more detail about what happened.

Don’t bother

This app is a waste of money. Don’t bother paying for it. You upload your photo and the AI generated doesn’t even look anything like what you uploaded. Uploaded our pool for landscaping and the generation is not even our pool shape.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy the app. If you don’t mind, could you reach out to us at hi@yardai.net and share the images, so we can investigate and improve the service? We do acknowledge that AI generation might not always be precise with dimensions or exact positions. However, you can try using the comment text box to request that the design keeps the original size of your pool. We hope this helps and that you’ll consider giving the app another try.

👍🏻

Gave me a few great ideas for the backyard. Happy enough

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your feedback! We’re glad the app sparked a few backyard ideas — enjoy bringing them to life 🌱

Deceptive

My 2 yo could do better

Best AI Yard Design App

I have tried several different AI yard design apps and this by far is the best one. Highly recommended!
