They just got $5 from me for nothing. Does not take into account my uploaded photo. Changes everything to generic ai stock photos ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2026-04-04, version 2.0.1* The app is constantly going WAY overboard on all designs. To the point of adding WINDOWS to the house. Trying to find something that can help with realistic designs and layouts. ### 1/5 — Don’t pay for this *2026-03-30, version 2.0.1* I paid for yearly access because there are many places in my home I am trying to work on and wanted something to help visualize my ideas. This just gives you preloaded ai renderings. Does not account for a reference image at all. ### 1/5 — What? *2026-03-21, version 2.0.1* I paid for a week access, and really wish I hadn’t. Every picture I uploaded was transformed into something completely impossible. I uploaded a picture of a pathway with a large stone path. The app returned inspiration with that stone pathway now sideways hanging from my wooden fence with a koi pond on the side of the house. All of this is laughable, especially me for spending the money. ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2026-03-17, version 2.0.1* Doesn’t even generate from your photos. They just show pre loaded AI photos that don’t work for your space. A waste of money ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-01-25, version 2.0.1* Not free have to pay y use it, no free options waste of time ### 1/5 — Scam!!!! *2025-12-22, version 2.0.1* Totally fake. Complete scam AI pictures. Steals data! ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-11-12, version 2.0.1* Preloaded clear images of your home become completely unusable images with no ability to tailor aspects of the renderings or specify what you want to change. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-07-20, version 1.1.0* This doesn’t not design off your personal images. It feeds you pre stock images. Not helpful in landscape design at all. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2026-06-13, version 2.0.1* I wanted a yard redesign not the entirely new house it designed. This is nothing it purports to be. ### 1/5 — A joke. *2026-06-05, version 2.0.1* Terrible app. I put in a picture and none of the aspects are correct in the generated image. Total waste of money ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-05-28, version 2.0.1* The app does not work at all, overpriced and it hasn’t generated a single design, gets stuck for hours. Stay away and just use ChatGPT instead. ### 1/5 — I feel scammed. *2026-05-22, version 2.0.1* Absolute trash. I’m kicking myself for buying it without doing more research. I add an existing photo and pick a “style”. It takes a good 2-3 minutes to generate an image and it’s absolute nonsense. Trees in the sky, no original sense to my actual photo at all. I tried every iteration and after 30-40 minutes, I quit. You can’t leave the app while it’s working so it’s an absolute waste of time and money. I couldn’t cancel fast enough. Save your $!! ### 1/5 — AWFUL *2026-05-21, version 2.0.1* Always generates the same photo. Do NOT waste your money. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-05-10, version 2.0.1* This app does nothing. I just paid the $4.99 and it has not generated one design for me. It just sits there and hangs. Spinning. Then I get promoted for $2.99 more for special something. Awful. ### 1/5 — Worthless. *2026-05-05, version 2.0.1* This gave me jumbled pics with no discernible design. I couldn’t even make out what the design was. I want to unsubscribe. To me it’s not worth it. ### 1/5 — Poor Performance *2026-04-30, version 2.0.1* What’s the point of uploading a photo if the program doesn’t use it? The outputs either completely distort the original picture or doesn’t even incorporate it all. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-04-18, version 2.0.1* Scam. This is just stock photos and not AI. Apple should kick this off the platform. ### 1/5 — Just a bunch of stocked photos *2026-04-18, version 2.0.1* Not my backyard . I entered many photos and the results had nothing to do with my layout, just pulling from stock photos and not personalized at all . Wish I could give zero starts!! I can look for inspiration for free elsewhere --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
