  1. [R8] Arch 5/5 · US Great ideas: Inspiration
  2. [R14] Arch 5/5 · US Actually Complete Fire 🔥: This app actually crushes the redesign game. The generations are helping put together multiple remodels on my house. Arch has to be one of the best AI Designers out there.
  3. [R16] Arch 2/5 · US Used to be great: Over a year ago this app was great. Quick and resourceful to give ideas. Beautiful and practical designs, now it doesn’t do much, if anything at all, gives a lot of errors, doesn’t read comers, walls, doors, etc. if there is a single little tree in front of the house/building it will struggle or won’t work at all. New ideas are poorly design if it designs it all. I assume they st
  4. [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
  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. [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.
  7. [R6] Arch 3/5 · US Limitations: It only lets you do a small amount of ai redesign then it kicks you off.
  8. [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!!!
  9. [R1] Arch 1/5 · US Terrible: I app is terrible and give you a hard time to cancel your subscription
  10. [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!
  11. [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.
  12. [R34] Arch 1/5 · US Arch: I purchased this app in Mach 2024 The application doesn’t work, since the beginning, I contacted Apple and Arch and they don’t want to refund me the $19.99 that I paid
  13. [R60] Arch 1/5 · US Horrible: They don’t respond to anything, And the app doesn’t do what it’s advertised as (in full). So very disappointing, thought it was going to be a good choice, but just a waste of money. Definitely do not recommend!
  14. [R76] ‎AI Remodel 1/5 · US Garbage: You can only put one picture at a time. Can't follow up for changes. No free tier. Can't get a refund when you realize it's not at all what you want.
  15. [R21] Arch 3/5 · US Loads of potential!: I love this app, it would just be so much better if you could add little details to be changed during the regeneration stage. For example, you may love most of the photo, but want something added to the regenerated version. If it already does this, then I’m missing it and will happily edit my review. Thank you! Also could we have a feature that included decks?
  16. [R27] Arch 3/5 · US Useless styles and limited editing: I tried it. It doesn’t have current and relevant styles like transitional, Scandinavian, contemporary, etc. Rather it had chocolate, which shows your room with chocolate overflowing like Willy Wonka Factory. Also, the styles seem to repeat a lot and are to the extreme, and you can’t really edit it to be less. So let’s say you choose industrial bathroom, then l
  17. [R64] ‎AI Remodel 2/5 · US No way 20k users had that good experience: My simple prompt of “replace the light fixture only with modern look” could not be handled correctly. It’d swap my dining table with a coffee table, replace dining chairs with couches. I tired 10 prompts and replacements but no way this app works well for other
  18. [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.
