Applicator Home is a toy for the whole family: build a house out of bricks, windows, doors, a roof, a chimney, a lantern and a balcony, on a photo of your own wall or on a sky. • Pick an element and its type, then lay bricks with a finger. They snap into neat rows. • Move, rotate and flip pieces, bring them to the front or send them to the back, undo and redo. • Take a photo of a real wall and measure it with the ruler, so the bricks come at their real size. • Pinch to zoom in on the details. The picker folds away while you paint. • Every house is saved by itself. Rename, duplicate and share your houses, or save them to Photos. • Background music with six melodies, and a Help with pictures. • In 25 languages. The app shows a small ad banner; one purchase turns the ads off. Houses from earlier versions are kept.
