  1. [R3] Arch 3/5 · US Went from great to poor: I used this app for 6 months and it was amazing. Whatever kind of update they did it is now horrible. Cancelled my subscription.
  2. [R6] Arch 3/5 · US Limitations: It only lets you do a small amount of ai redesign then it kicks you off.
  3. [R24] Arch 3/5 · US Frustrated: So I did purchased the pro and after about 100 tries trying to describe as much as possible on a very simple design, the app simple never delivers what you want. And to make worse they block you for reaching the daily limit even with pro Version. The only reason i am giving 3 stars is because it has beautiful renderings how ever sometimes they are distorted specially if you try to modi
  4. [R63] Redecor 3/5 · US Money Grab: While I find this game fun, I think the creators are incredibly money hungry. There are opportunities for free coins, but nothing substantial enough to sustain long term play without spending money. In addition to this, the voting system is a complete mess, especially when it comes to the journal entries. 1 heart 6 times? Sucks for you! They don’t provide any information on how to
  5. [R2] Arch 5/5 · US Limit Reached: A notification has just appeared stating that I have reached my daily limit & the app will not allow me to make any changes at this time. If I had known that I had a daily limit- I would have been more conservative with my selections!
  6. [R7] Arch 1/5 · US Terrible App!!: This app is always busy and you are not able to use it because it has a limit of upload which I was not aware or it’s always busy because it tells you that too many people are using it!! Would not recommend!!!
  7. [R40] Arch 1/5 · US Disappointment: The app does not generate any images. Every attempt had finished with error message “Oops, something went wrong”. No use at all, but already charged. Total disappointment!
  8. [R64] Redecor 1/5 · US Loved it until you hit day 5: Love the game. It’s great but the only issue is it hits a wall and becomes very difficult to continue playing for free. Took me 3 days to get enough coins to submit one design. Then there’s levels that make you buy something no matter what with the coins which makes it harder to move to the next design.
  9. [R4] Arch 1/5 · US Doesn’t work: I tried using this app several times. Uploaded my photo picture looks great on the upload and then supposedly after the process there’s no picture at all.
  10. [R10] Arch 1/5 · US lies: luckily i had my card locked but now cant download any apps, because my kids accidentally purchased the FREE TRIAL, this app tried taking 30.99 right then. charges are pending & subscription ends june 2027 yet i cant even download the app now.
  11. [R79] Redecor 1/5 · US Not honest: They don’t actually give you the coins you earn when you win. So it makes you have to purchase them, which I refuse to do. And they don’t reply on purpose when you contact them. Waste of time
  12. [R18] Arch 3/5 · US Intriguing: I have to admit, when it comes to design options and overall usability, this app is easily the best I’ve come across. That said, there are a few areas that still need improvement. For example, it struggles to accurately recognize objects like cars or trees in front of a house, often blending them into the structure instead of identifying them separately. But the biggest issue is the r
  13. [R28] Arch 1/5 · US Theft: Absolute theft! Do not trust them! I subscribed to their annual package for $39.99, but now the app says I haven't paid and is asking me to subscribe again. This is pure theft and a very ugly practice. I have already contacted customer support twice, but they completely ignored me and gave no response. Avoid this app at all costs!
  14. [R31] Arch 1/5 · US APP is not working properly: I paid for the ‘Pro’ subscription in November. It hasn’t worked for the last several weeks Ive tried. Hoping to get a response to emails I've submitted via the Help Center.
  15. [R115] Redecor 2/5 · US Cheats you out of purchases: Used to love this game, though at times it’s impossible to play without paying because the options available to you are too expensive. Lately, it’s been consistently cheating me out of coins (I will save up but when I make a purchase it takes the coins away without providing the item). I’ve contacted support multiple times and the refuse to acknowledge it and continuou
  16. [R112] Redecor 2/5 · US predatory money grab: I love playing this game, but there are several predatory features. You’ll have 14/15 points towards a reward, and the app will withhold the reward and start you back from zero. When you are low on coins, the app will only allow you to choose from items that require purchase. The ratings on your designs don’t seem to be real and seem to be better when you make purchases and w
  17. [R66] Redecor 3/5 · US Only Rewarding by spending too much money: I love decorating but spend way too much time and money for the game to feel rewarding
