  1. [R29] 5/5 · US Great ap: Easy to use and has lots of options that are detailed and realistic.
  2. [R90] 5/5 · US Great!!!: Lots of features as well as options very good platform design
  3. [R131] 5/5 · US Great visual app for mobile: I love this app and have been using it to create a new gaming room. I love the app so far and have been for the last year. I feel like lighting effects and rgb style light-strips and proper shadows will take this app to the next level. There isn’t a lot of apps that can do lighting and shadows well but I’m trying to view lighting ideas and better plan my design. If thi
  4. [R25] 5/5 · US Favorite home design app: I’ve been using this app for a decade! Absolutely love it. I enjoy getting to create homes I can one day build.
  5. [R39] 5/5 · US Worth paying for: I would likely spend more trying to do this the old fashion way than just coughing up the $12/month for this. Little bit of acclimating to the controls but overall super impressive app.
  6. [R2] 1/5 · US Updated Review: So, I decided to go ahead and update this today (2/7/26) and now anytime I try to open any project I did (even yesterday - 2/6/26), it just crashes. Can’t use it at all now. Can’t roll back the update. Totally ticked off as I have supported this from the very first time it came out - even paid for gold and all the upgrades. Tons of projects and poof… crash, crash, crash. Devastatin
  7. [R11] 3/5 · US Fun but…: The game itself is really fun but lately keeps saying that there’s an error, and no matter how hard I try, I can’t use the app so can you fix that?
  8. [R43] 2/5 · US Loyal Customer?!: I paid for the gold on this product and it was great, I loved it many years! They claim I will lose nothing, BUT I get an ad every time I open it wanting me to pay $80/yr! PLUS it crashes every few minutes now and didn’t before. I am currently putting a roof on a house, but everytime I try to resize it crashes and I can get nowhere!! This is not fair, they should have made a new
  9. [R3] 1/5 · US DO NOT PURCHASE STOLE MY MONEY: I originally bought the full version of this app because I wanted all of the items it listed. I believe it was $20 or $30 to purchase. Sometime after purchasing the full version they switched to a subscription based version and took away access to many of the items I originally purchased the full version for. Seems like an extraordinarily greedy establishment and I
  10. [R5] 1/5 · US Disappointment: What a disappointment. I've supported this app for years and have paid money for full access but the recent updates and constant subscription price increases have pushed me away. The app feels like it's getting worse while costing more. It's hard not to feel like loyal users are being taken for granted. Shame on the owners for putting profits ahead of the customers who helped make
  11. [R40] 1/5 · US New subscription services ruined this app: I have had this app for at least 5 years, loved it up until recently. It was just a creative outlet for me, I enjoyed making plans and I paid the $10 for the Gold level around 3 years ago. During that time no new features were added that was fine by me. Now with new app updates and new bs subscriptions you lost access to something you have already paid fo
  12. [R15] 1/5 · US Pay to use: You can’t even design anything without paying or watching an ad.
  13. [R19] 1/5 · US Advertisement: If I am paying to use the app, why do I have to be interrupted by advertisement?
  14. [R227] 3/5 · US Fun, but has problems: I love games that have to do with interior designing or building a house because I love building my dream house and decorating it on the inside to make it look my even better dream house…BUT. I HATE how you have to pay for everything. For example, whenever I build a house and decorate it on the inside and then exit out when I click the exit button it deletes all your work be
  15. [R55] 1/5 · US Disappointed: I had been using this app since it came out. I used to love it. It was a fun way to express my creativity and enthusiasm for interior design. In 2019 I purchased the one time purchase full version. I loved the app even more after that. I had access to all the furniture, appliances, outdoor items etc. I’m sure you can imagine my disappointment after the update that took all of that fr
  16. [R57] 1/5 · US Crashes all the time: Paid for premium and still get ads, plus crashes all the time.
