Design Home™: House Makeover for Negative User Reviews

Fun gameAbsolutely love playing this. However, it's irritating when you buy something and can only use it 5 times before it's taken from your "owned" section. Also the only way to win items is if you spend real money buying the necessary items to complete challenges. Another problem is when you stick to the brief i.e. "Industrial" then you see the winners who have used the tried & tested boring black & white modern designs that aren't remotely industrial it gets disheartening. Same people seem to win constantly but they're the ones throwing shedloads of money at the game. Also if people judged fairly it would be nice. I try to be honest in choosing designs I think are good and have stuck to the brief. Do others do this? Don’t think so. I’ve seen designs with mismatched items not relevant to the brief (usually when you start out your inventory is so sparse you use anything to win money on the daily challenge) with really high scores. Makes me think people do this to stop the really good designs from winning. Also the game owner keeps bringing out new bundles that I can’t afford so my designs again get marked down..Version: 1.29.018

You will have this downloaded for two days maxThe game is great, but.... there’s no way to regenerate in game currency over time so you’re stuck with either downloading apps on to your phone that you don’t even want or buying currency with real money!! So in turn you can’t progress levels without doing one of the two. Seriously such a wasted game with stupid micro transactions. Would give it more stars but there’s no longevity so therefore it has minimal worth to me..Version: 1.22.02

Fun but too expensiveBuying items is a must and you end up having to buy with real money. Too bad you can’t search for items by price..Version: 1.14.06

Was a great gameI used to really enjoy this game but the more I play it, the more I tend to ‘loose’ when I submit a design. It seems the designs with more accessories win rather than the furniture used and unfortunately the accessories cost money and I can’t think how much money I must have spent on this game. I really liked it a couple of years ago but now it’s getting a bit out of hand. I haven’t had a five star rating in ages and some of those that do, their designs just look too over the top. It would be ok if you got value for money with your diamonds but you don’t and the 500 diamonds you receive every day is hardly scratching the surface. Sadly I may end up leaving this game after Christmas, it’s cost me too much money and it leaves me disappointed. My simple designs that I carefully do, get overlooked for the big bolshy ones with too much bling that would be best seen in the movies not in real life... sad!.Version: 1.41.047

Enjoy the game but…It’s satisfying to put furniture in a room, and achieve the look you want. I think that story has lost its meaning, and now there are obvious reasons not to play. Apart from the fact that you must spend real dollars to achieve any sort of a room, (which has been pointed out in many reviews and nothing has been done), it annoys me that items often don’t appear where you want them. Artwork is too low or too high when placed, hiding behind bedheads or whatever, looking ridiculous. Chairs are often angled badly. I think you get the gist, this sort of thing happens all the time. More care should be taken with placement of items, so when I do spend my money, I can get a look that makes me happy. Please do better, or my money will have to go elsewhere. I don’t expect things to be free, we all need to make a living, but the cost is out of hand, and getting placement of items right is crucial. Its not rocket science, and really not too much to ask…...Version: 1.94.041

Lost all my progressI’ve been playing this game for a while now and the most recent update lost all my progress. This is disappointing and I was never aware that this could happen..Version: 1.42.022

Need Money to Play - a lot of itI love the graphics and execution of this game But some serious issues with how this game is set up. 1. You have to pay a lot of money to purchase furniture to design one room like $10,000+++ but you only earn $500. You can do the maths pretty quickly on this one, you need to purchase more in game money with your hard earned cash AND you don't get to keep the furniture you purchased to build up an inventory, you only use 5 times, then you need to repurchase again. 2. There is a pretty boring formula to high scoring rooms, mostly its white sofa, blue/aqua rug or black and white scheme. They give you a brief ie rustic cabin and then the top scoring is white leather sofa with aqua rug and crystal lamps, a room that belongs in a city apartment rather than a rustic cabin. There should be a way to make sure that you get scored according to the brief, many of the designs are scored low because they follow the brief and not what the "community" has deemed as good design. There is SO much potential in this game but the great imbalance between what you need to spend to design a room and what you get back is so large, that you will have to spend a lot of money on this game to play it properly. Also it's not really a design game, if you don't need to meet the brief to get a high score. Seriously visit the top scoring players profiles and look at the rooms that get above 4.5 - they are all blue and white or black and white!!.Version: 1.03.24

Scoring system awful but great game for designers/ loading issues/ expensiveAs I stated the scoring system is awful. You can get a low score on a design identical to one that got 5stars. That’s why I like the homes we do because the app designers critique it. There are some seriously hideous designs that score way too high. The game itself is fun if you’re passionate about design and don’t mind getting low scores on something you put your heart into lol. This game is also very expensive to play unless you use the crappy stuff that’s free. You even have to buy your entry, forced to buy expensive items to complete challenges which is sneaky and annoying. The wins aren’t enough to justify the amount of money spent to create better designs. I also want to add something I experience on a constant basis on every device I have. I am constantly being told to check my internet connection. No other app does this, none. So I’ll have to close out, wait forever for things to load only to end up taking twice the amount of time to create my design because it gets erased and then miss the window to enter! Many people don’t have the luxury of sitting around waiting for the game to load a couch, a rug etc. game time, design time is supposed to be fun, not frustrating. I have changed my review to reflect my frustration. And yes I’ve tried all the troubleshooting tips. I rarely play this game anymore for these reasons..Version: 1.80.050

Enjoyable but frustratingI love the fact that you can design you own rooms, especially now you can design your own room in different houses. However, the fact that you only get 5 uses out of your furniture is ridiculous, especially considering they are so expensive, for each challenge you only get around £200 to spend in the game. That isn’t even a dent in what you need for the furniture if you haven’t got any money to spend in the game. You should get more uses out of the furniture, or there should be a method to earn more cash in game, without having to purchase it or play challenges for it. As the mess furniture you have access to the less likely you are to be able to participate in the challenges. Also, when designing your own houses, that shouldn’t be classed as a use of furniture as then you have less furniture to use when it comes to actual challenges. Overall the game is good, but it has multiple downfalls that really do affect it..Version: 1.48.016

Great game but a money grabLet me just say how much I was enjoying the game. The challenges were interesting and the furniture beautiful however... you'll end up paying for items over and over... each item can only be used 5 times and then you have to re-buy, and it's not cheap! By no stretch of imagination do you receive even a portion of money back from the challenges themselves, it is entirely designed for you to spend a lot of money or choose to not play at all! Shame!.Version: 1.03.24

New Update is badIt was good until the last update, now every time I try to buy furniture the game glitches and restarts and takes my money but does not give me my furniture..Version: 1.52.017

Don’t get it this apps steals your money be awareWell it’s an entertaining app has pretty good challenges, that’s the only good thing Other than that this app keeps stealing the items you bought within the game in order to force you to rebuy it again to keep sucking your money... it’s total inmoral and disgusting style shame on you . They never answers complains keeps saying too many complains... I wonder why cuz they are professionals stealing people’s money and bought it items At the end I don’t recommend this app.... at least if u want to continuing losing your money like gambling game......Version: 1.49.017

ExpensiveFun game and I love designing but it’s a huge rip off. There should be more ways to earn diamonds in game without having to buy them all the time. You earn $500 per challenge yet most items in the game are $1000+ and there is only one challenge a day you earn a measly 100 diamonds that doesn’t even get you a plant (even with the daily 500 diamonds) let alone a rug, which you often need to get a good score. Considering there are reviews from two years ago mentioning this and nothing has been done to remedy this, it’s disappointing. Trying to money grab kills the fun in everything..Version: 1.58.018

CynicalI realise this app is developed with the view to making money, but unlike the fashion version of this app you only get to use an item 5 times before it disappears from your inventory. This is outrageous and makes it impossible to play the game without spending lots of money. The platform is cynical enough without this sting in the tail. Please developers make it like Covet and just let us own the item after we buy it. Everyone is frustrated by this and ends up deleting the app. Read the feedback and listen to your users. I too will be deleting the app despite really liking the concept as I’m not wasting money on virtual furnishings that disappear. Another issue I have is the lack of decorating options. There is very limited art work, plants and decorator items and most of them are ugly. Is it that hard to have a larger itinerary that are stylish? Also it would be good to be able to add things like cushions..Version: 1.10.08

Love it but...This is one of my favourite games... I play every day and it is very addictive... however what annoys me is how you lose the furniture you have purchased but more annoyingly... the furniture you have earned by getting high scores. It really upsets me as it is making me stop playing as much, purely because the accumulation of funds isn't fast enough in relation to how much you lose in furniture. When I lose the furniture I love using, it takes me a while to build up funds to buy them. This means the amount of challenges I can actually take part in starts to diminish because I can't afford the requirements (and makes it very frustrating when I know I used to own furniture that fits the requirements) I still love the game but I am hugely disappointed in the developers for this reason. When I win furniture for my designs, losing that prize in my head makes me wonder if the game is worth it..Version: 1.03.17

EnjoyableThis game is enjoyable if you only do the daily challenge and nothing else. If you don’t want to put in your own money you will never have enough diamonds and cash to purchase what you need to do more than the daily challenge. It would be nice to have accessories that have a cash price not just diamonds as I never really have enough diamonds. I sometimes watch the free videos for more diamond but you get so few it’s not worth watching the videos. If you are happy just to do one challenge a day you will enjoy the game if you want to do more, be prepared to spend your own money..Version: 1.81.081

Greed killed this game for me.I had to quit. This was a great game, but it was too expensive to play. Every time you had a great idea, you had to pay...diamonds, diamonds, diamonds. There is no way to play to your potential without having items and even when you buy them, they disappear. If someone were smart they’d remake this game into a staging game. You’d always have your items. Make the purchases cheaper and you’d have customers stay for life..Version: 1.58.018

Basically have stolen money from me...I have been playing design home for a while now and generally really enjoy the app. I also tend to buy diamonds semi-regularly for paintings and plants etc... However I recently made a purchase of £20 of diamonds and after the purchase going through, the app froze and then shut down. When I asked for help restoring it the help chat just told me to clear the cache and force close and reopen the app. Having tried this already, I did once more to check. I then wrote back saying it did not along with a screenshot of my iTunes invoice for the purchase. After this it has been more than a day and not only have I not been refunded or given the diamonds purchased, the help chat has not once even replied to me! While in all fairness this has never happened before, I cannot believe it is in any way acceptable to take someone’s money for an in app purchase, not refund it AND not make sure they receive it in over 48 hours. I’m not certain if I will stop playing altogether but I will definitely no longer be purchasing premium currency or bundles of any kind. It is a shame since the game itself is very enjoyable..Version: 1.11.01

Way too ExpensiveAs much as I like to play it is expensive and you have been putting the prices up expecting the players not to notice, this is a game not a department store, I’m slowly getting fed up with being ripped off. You play on people’s weaknesses, that’s how you make your money, but you don’t seem to realise if you had a reasonable playing field cost wise people would play and be happy to. You should consider the consumer as without them you would have no product to promote, I am a very very disappointed consumer, and it seems I’m not the only one, but it appears you pay no heed, eventually the new players will catch on and your product won’t be very popular as word will get around that it’s not worth playing as the bonus’s are cheap compared to the cost of playing. It seems you haven’t paid much attention to the reviews that are posted by many consumers, when are you going to give us a break and reduce the cost of the items as I said before this is not a real store it’s a game, if you want people to continue to play then you have to reduce the costs and increase the benefits otherwise it’s just a ripoff..Version: 1.99.027

Was good at first, but.....When I first got the game it was so good. I was having so much fun designing things. But the next day I ran into some money issues. I only had 321 dollars and 221 diamonds. And I was only on level 2 so I didn’t have much furniture. And I also didn’t have enough money to by anything. And there was also requirements I had to follow. So I just decided to wait until the next day to play again. Then the next day came (today). I went and did more designs. Then I realised that I didn’t have any money left over! And only 121 diamonds. So then I decided to re install the app. I got the app again. I went on it. And I realised I still had no money. ALL IM SAYING IS MONEY MONEY MONEY. EVEN MY SISTERS ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH IT. I HAVE SEEN OTHER REVIEWS ABOUT HOW HARD IT IS TO MANAGE YOUR MONEY! PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE.Version: 1.40.026

Could be betterThis game could be so much more enjoyable. The rooms you are supposed to decorate have certain things like wall colour, curtains, light fixtures and other things already in the rooms. The game designers choose these to have a very particular look, so only a very small number of all the different furniture on offer will go well in that room. So basically, they give you a new room, that none of your existing furniture will go in, then they release a small collection of new stuff, that WILL work in the room, but you have to buy it all. This means that a) if you want to get a high score, you must always be buying new items from the small selection they put on sale that actually GO with that room. B) you are very limited creatively, instead of designing a room using your own creativity, you are instead just putting in the items that the game developers have already chosen to go in that room. There’s very little scope to use your own taste, style or creativity. The game isn’t that fun. The people who get the high scores are the ones who have followed the cues from the game developers, used the same predictable furnishings on offer, and presumably used in app purchases so they can buy all the new and best furniture, released especially to go in the new rooms. The winning rooms are uninspired, and all a variation of the same design..Version: 1.63.027

Fun game, butI have been playing this game for awhile now. I have even removed the app at one point but came back to it. It is fun, I really enjoy that it’s all about design not silly side games you have to conquer to enter a room to be able to design. There are no “pay to win” schemes, which is a huge plus! The reasoning for 3 star rating is the developers need to upgrade in some areas. Major complaint of mine is that the Table Decor is lacking in real life objects. They need to include all forms of technology: Laptops, Computers, cellphones. Kitchens need more small appliance choices, glass and tableware options. Bars need mixers and cocktail glasses. Outdoor Rooms need grills. Some room designs are for adolescence but only provide nursery style floor and table decor. When it is a nursery design, Floor decor is somewhat available, but again lacks choices. Nursery Table Decor is non existent. Developers need to add diapers, baby wellness items, etc. These items need to be more than a “special buy” status. Some of the rooms are poorly designed and the “required” items just make them worse. There is a design brief, however many participants do not pay attention to it and yet still receive high points, that makes it feel like a popularity contest at times. All in all it is fun, worth the time, especially if you like to design but have no desire to play silly games. I will continue to play for now..Version: 1.57.015

OkayFun to play and educational but seems hard to progress unless you spend real life money. Completing a challenge, you get little reward. So unless I’m playing it wrong I have to design homes either with only what’s in my inventory, or have to budget with less than $5000.Version: 1.57.015

Bad updateAfter the update all my stuff has disappeared and my account was deleted. had this account for 2 years now..Version: 1.42.022

Lots of options that come with a priceThe advertisements of the game look like its amazing but it’s not everything is SO expensive! It took me ages to save 25k and you only get 2500 a day but if you want your room to look nice you’re going to pay at least 3k and diamonds are ridiculous the accessories and plants are next to impossible to afford.Version: 1.59.017

Dislike the new updateWhy making the voting procedure slower? It doesn’t make me wanna design more, because now it takes probably 2X the time to vote to get the 25 keys to enter a challenge..Version: 1.65.009

Plate !!!Très décevant !!! Impossible à jouer crash toujours.Version: 1.03.17

Has great potential, but ..I’ve had this game downloaded for quite a while and I do enjoy the amazing graphics and freedom you have to design different rooms. But what really bothers me is how difficult it is to progress within the game as you have to ‘buy’ all the items in the game for game money that you subsequently earn from completing challenges. But the money you earn VS the money you get from completing challenges is so low, which results in the player feeling like they have to spend actually money to buy packages and diamonds just to be able to complete a challenge . For instance, completing a challenge gives you $2,500 . In the next challenge, you may have to buy three items you don’t have in your inventory (bare in mind a standard room may contain 12-15 items) which cost $1,400 and $1,200 . So now you’re out of money but still have 10 items to go so what do you do? You either have to just throw in items from your inventory that you don’t want to use and hence ruins the design of the room, or you simply cannot complete the challenge and progress within the game. The situation is incredibly annoying and the main reason I’ve give up on this game..Version: 1.48.016

Not the same game…I’ve been playing this game off/on since it first launched. In the beginning it was really fun, the voting was fair, the challenges were entertaining. But now the scores of the poor designs get higher scores, up to 5.0 (ie. Designs that have absolutely nothing to do w/ theme/barely anything in it/hodgepodge) over a design someone has obviously put effort into. When it comes to voting, I don’t know if people are too lazy to actually look at the designs or just hitting the screen just so they can get keys, but it’s disappointing to see really beautiful designs get such low scores. You might want to reconsider challenging designs of similar caliber against each other. I understand you have to spend some money on the game, but I’m noticing a large portion of the prizes are low in value compared to what you sell in the store. Even the higher priced prizes valued at about 4000 diamonds isn’t close to items selling for $8,000-$13,000! And recently the prizes have been ridiculous pieces of furniture that I’ve seen only a few people use. I haven’t used any of them because they’re way too extreme. The challenges are getting very redundant. They have the same places, layout, themes. I’m being 100% honest, please come up with something new. Please slow down on the Theme Packages. People overuse them inappropriately. Especially when it came to the Halloween themes..Version: 1.90.059

Such a cool concept swept away with money making schemeUnfortunately this would be a really awesome and fun interior design game if only the creators hadn’t gotten SO swept up with just creating a machine that amasses money. You buy things with either “cash” or “diamonds” in game currency. Fair. You even get a pretty nice starting sum of each so you can buy some starter furniture. Great. So you’ll soon find the gameplay involves completing challenges. Okay. You need to buy specific pieces to meet the criteria of these challenges. Also totally fine. You end up having to spend $15-30 real life dollars to buy the correct pieces to complete a few challenges. IM ACTUALLY OKAY WITH THAT. I don’t mind PAYING for games that are fun. However the furniture just DISAPPEARS from your inventory after a few uses. This Ensures That you will never be able to build up a strong inventory without continually spending money. The issue for me is I don’t enjoy a f*cking game that refuses to allow me to play after paying a more than fair price. Cause eventually your inventory will run out and you HAVE to pay more to get back old items or buy new ones. I want to love this game, I really do. But I’m not some bored housewife with hundreds of dollars to RESPEND on things I already bought. And that’s what they are banking on. The challenges are cool, the UI design is intuitive to use and the real life item incorporate beautifully. Too bad it’s abused so horribly..Version: 1.49.017

Hide your money, here comes Design Home!I absolutely love this game, but this game loves my wallet more. I came to write a review about Design Home after playing it for close to a year now. The layout and execution of the app is very impressive, and I understand it takes quite a bit of time to catalog real brands into a game platform, but it is absolutely absurd the amount of money you have to spend to be able to truly express your creativity. The pricing model for furniture is in line with reality, but the pricing model for artwork and accessories is outrageous, i expect to pay 600 dollars for a Kathy Kuo Home accent table in reality, but then I have to pay 1,100 for a potted palm tree. I have to pay 700 dollars for a pillow set, and that is unrealistic. Design Home branded items are outrageously expensive; for example, if you receive both your daily bonus and diamonds for several 5 star designs in one day, you still cannot afford one single limited rug. I love love love this game. I play it every day. Something is going to have to give though with the money layout of the game. I have spent HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS on this game in less than a year, and I’m realizing it’s a problem. EDIT: after looking through other reviews from years ago stating the same issues, I’m deciding to delete this game. I hate corporate greed, especially when it gets in the way of customer satisfaction..Version: 1.77.066

Became bad with timeWhen I first started playing this game it was fun and there was many options to play with, now you are practically forced to buy diamonds if You want pretty decorations in your designs, not only this but the ratings are ridiculous I’ve made ugly designs and got almost 5 stars for it while some designs are so pretty and don’t get the attention it deserved. Honestly not worth it anymore..Version: 1.96.091

House :(I can’t live in app. :( what a scam!.Version: 1.56.011

Scoring is off - don’t waste your timeThe game is great but something has happened with the scoring since last played. I had the app a couple of years ago and items were much cheaper, and it wasn’t too hard to get a five star score. Regardless of what colour scheme you went with, if it was a well designed room (in my opinion) the score reflected it. However since re-downloading it, I’ve noticed that all the winners are always the ones that buy the trending theme packs and over decorate their rooms, as if they’re getting rewarded/more points for spending money in the game rather than on the merits of their designs. To get a five star room, you have to buy whatever design pack is in and only use those items. The five star designs are now ugly, have no imagination and are completely directed by the app..Version: 1.92.024

Missing the LogisticsWhen I first downloaded this game, I was pleasantly surprised. The tutorial was nice and I enjoyed it. At first. Then I discovered you could only actually DESIGN your own HOME at level 4, and until then you could only complete challenges. (What’s up with that? It’s called DESIGN HOME!) I also have not received my daily gift. You see, to get money, I have to submit challenge designs. To submit challenge designs, I need money to buy the items I need. When I don’t have my daily gift, I can’t play the game. I was very unhappy when I saw there was nine minutes until my gift would arrive, and then find later on it would be 23 hours. And there were no positive changes to my diamonds or money. I also found strange the fact I downloaded the game around 8 in the morning, but wasn’t given a daily gift that day either. This game is great if you have a real job and can afford to buy currency, but other than that, don’t expect to be able to play very productively. I also think the guidelines to some challenges are very restrictive. Some challenges require me to have 4 modern black metal items, which is impossible because I have played this came for only days, and there is no way I should have 4 black items that are also modern, and also metal. I think it would be much better if the Developer let you do whatever, but you got extra points for using those 4 modern black metal items. Some people don’t have money to throw around..Version: 1.41.047

Too expensiveHonestly it’s a great game but it’s so expensive to play properly. I’ve never seen a game require this much funds for you to get those most of out it. It’s too bad, even their sister game for fashion has way more value.Version: 1.50.018

Ruined by IAP and dodgy practicesI really really wanted to love this game but it is virtually impossible to get anywhere in it unless you spend money endlessly. The only other way to get cash to play it is to wait for challenges that pay you more money which you then use up buying the cheapest furniture and then can't really compete with people who spend their own money. Not to mention that any furniture you acquire whether through winning or buying with your own money, has limited uses! Like 5 and then you have to buy it again?! You can also do surveys to get diamonds - I tried this and ended up down a ridiculous black hole of surgery after survey, and worse, my email address then got used by each one and I ended up getting hundreds of spam emails which I then had to set up a lot of filters for. I'd rather pay $80 for a game like this and level up in it using my own skill rather than endless cash. Using money to level up isn't gaming, it's gambling with 0% chance of return. Really disappointed, I'm deleting it..Version: 1.03.24

Great game but...I really like this game...however there’s no chance for you earn any cash and the cash you get for doing a design it not enough to keep playing. You either have to buy cash/diamonds or stop playing. Also it doesn’t tell you when the results will be available for some designs and you end up “awaiting results”.Version: 1.58.018

Don’t download get different!I could only do 3 thing because I couldn’t get anything 😤 don’t get!.Version: 1.49.017

Expensive but fun!The most frustrating thing about this game is that everything is expensive to purchase. I refuse to spend any actual money on this game so it makes it hard to actually design to the brief. You can ‘borrow’ from a friend but you can only do that if they have a big arsenal to choose from. The other frustrating thing is there’s no category for price. You can type in that you need light grey furniture but then you need to scroll through furniture that costs $2-$7 grand and you only have $500 bucks left. I’ve got to the point where I collect my daily cash and then not play it for about a week so I have enough money to buy things. You can watch videos or complete surveys to but who wants to do that and half the time it hasn’t acknowledged that you watched it and you don’t get your reward. This would be a great game if it didn’t focus on trying to get you to spend lots of money as sometimes it makes it hard to complete the brief and therefore can’t submit your design. Also wish that you could cash in keys for diamonds/cash.Version: 1.15.17

Addictive, time and money wasting theifI am embarrassed to admit to how much time and money I have spent on this app over the past couple of years. I wake up yesterday morning to find the app starting from level 0, I was about to break 71, had completed all the “my home” homes and had entered all recent challenges. None of my designs or items are there anymore. So angry. No response from developers. All gone. Don’t spend money in this app..Version: 1.42.027

I enjoy it, but I can’t afford it!I love this game insofar as I enjoy creating rooms and I quite like being thrifty and creating on a budget. But I do feel that when you’ve bought something, you should be able to keep it. When I first started playing this game, I spent a couple of quid here and there to finish a room, but I won’t do this anymore and instead only enter challenges I know I can complete either with my inventory or with the cash/diamonds I have available. This does mean that I miss out on some challenges, although I am always able to take part in the daily challenge as you have pretty much free rein over what you use in those designs. Overall, this is a great game, but it’s a game for people who think nothing of spending upwards of £30 for no tangible reward. If you enjoy the challenge of creating something on a budget, you will enjoy this game, but try to enjoy it for what it is rather than worrying about your scores..Version: 1.37.013

Awful customer service.I love this game. I have done nearly 1500 designs, I do designs daily. I have spent my own money on in app purchases and I have spent a lot of time in this app. I am horrified at the poor customer service with a recent technical issue. The new update to design your own houses is a favourite of mine and I have been really enjoying doing this. During one design I could not see my design in the game at all. I just get a blank box with a ‘loading’ circle where my design should be. I have contacted the in app customer service multiple times, the first time I got a free 1500 diamonds as they could not respond to me. The second time I got robbed off with no decent explanation as to why this was happening or a fix. I understand this might seem trivial but considering the time and money spent in this app I would have expected a lot more from their customer services. It’s a joke and have really put me off the app, as my house is incomplete without this room and I cannot see the design at all. Rubbish when you consider the money they are making off us, to not even deal with a technical query effectively. Totally disappointed..Version: 1.38.022

Not the bestThis app is constantly needing to be shut down and restarted. I even turn my phone on and off and start the app again still with no luck. So after completing each level I have to shut the app down so I can play the next level, otherwise it just freezes and says there are technical issues. Also as a previous person commented that you only get to use an item 5 times once you buy it. This is stupid, other games I’ve played similar to this once you purchase the item you can use it as much as you like. Also how long it takes to actually level up to be able to win decorations etc... is a joke. After a few years of playing this and getting nowhere I think it’s time I stop..Version: 1.11.23

Overpriced ItemsI have played this game since 2016 and have done many designs. While I used to LOVE playing this game I now find that the items are very much overpriced! The comparison to the amount of diamonds you can “earn” to the amount that the side decorations cost (rugs, plants, pictures etc) isn’t sustainable enough to enjoy the game without spending your actual money to buy more. Also the fact that when you purchase these things you only get 5 of each until you have to buy them again is really frustrating. All in all I think the creators greed has effectively ruined this game. I was fine with spending the odd 69p here and there but I no longer think it’s worth it as the game has lost its fun for me. There haven’t been any new homes to design in a while! All the design rooms are starting to look the same and everything is ridiculously expensive..Version: 1.97.075

Latest update sucksVoting to earn keys, is now animated and slows down the process. Way too painful to wait for. This can’t be good for engagement. Expecting a significant drop in daily use..Version: 1.65.009

I love you, but I'm breaking up!There is so much to love about this app but I'm extremely frustrated by a few things. 1) it is VERY expensive. You basically have to spend money to enjoy it and 2) the voting system. Unless you style every room with white furnishings and a turquoise rug, you can't score over 4 points which you need to get free furniture. Other players don't even follow the brief e.g. The brief may be 'style a rustic living room' but the highest scoring rooms are, you guessed it, white and turquoise. How is this rustic!!?? There needs to be a better way to ensure players stick to the brief. 3) the time it takes to level up. I've been a heavy user of this app and it takes an eternity to level up so you can access different artwork and decorations (which is really the only interesting thing you can add to a white and turquoise room). I've gotten so tired of the same artworks that I'm just bored of this game now. 4) the fact that when you buy an item, you can only use it 5 times. This is inherently unfair, particularly when one is and something that has frustrated me so much that I'll delete this app. For instance, if you are styling a dining room and the requirement is for 6 chairs, you have to buy the same item twice. So in conclusion, I had so much fun with this and would love to continue playing but because of the above reasons, I need to end this..Version: 1.03.52

Choose another appIf you think this will make you relax. Wrong. it will make you more frustrated and iritating. You soend more time doing surveys and giving information about yourself to companies, chasing surveys, wathcing 30sec adverts more than the time you spent designing. You dont get enough virtual cash or diamonds to even complete a room as a single furniture can cost like 3000 and you require to put about 6 furniture to submit your work for voting. And even after hard work of design your vote goes unnoticed and you loose point. Its more about earning cash and diamonds than to even design room. I started this game after a life traumatic event to help me relax again but this is turning me more frustrated and stress so i gave up. If only this game was more about freely designing or finding anothet way to earn diamonds instead of spending 30min completing surveys that you might not even win at the end of surveys. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻.Version: 1.91.056

Stupid glitchesThis game is so annoying not only is it glitchy in general but the whole reason I added this game was because I could decorate my dream home but guess what I've saved up tons of money and house coins and I can't even renovate my house because it kicks me out every time I've tried everything the support system has told me and it's hopeless this game triggers my anger issues like no tomorrow bc I just want to chill out and play not have to rush and stress to get a design challenge done as quick as possible before I get kicked off I barely play it anymore because of this just fix the glitches man other then that games fine it annoys me tho how we can't buy decor stuff like pictures or plants for money but diamonds and diamonds is the hardest thing to obtain in this game please adjust it.Version: 1.40.024

Fun but frustratingLike a lot of others have said, it’s very frustrating to ‘buy’ something only to be able to use it 5 times. I also find it irritating that plants, floor decor & wall art usually have to be earned through levels, unless you catch some limited items when they’re available or you purchase sets with your own money. I refuse to spend actual money on a game. I know they need to make money, I don’t mind the advertising but it’s annoying to compete against people who are obviously spending their own money on this game because it’s no longer a level playing field. Capitalism is strong in this game, which is a shame because games are meant to be an escape from reality, but this one fails to do that as money makes a difference. I’ve only had it for a week, I likely won’t have it much longer. Pity as it’s fun to be creative & it’s the only game I’ve seen like it..Version: 1.49.017

Please improveDesign home is a great creative outlet for people - myself included. And I’m ok with spending a little money to enhance my experience and get that’s part of what I signed up for. However, making all of the decorative elements diamond only, and the daily diamonds being so little, designs are constantly being submitted that are not what we want the room to look like, but we have no way ( other than spending lots of money each day) of obtaining the elements that we want to use. If the decorative elements could also be purchased with $ that would make a massive difference to the user experience, Thanks for considering, Sonia.Version: 1.42.022

Give us a chanceI’m a newbie to this game and at first loved it ... until I realised how quickly and easily you run out of money. I’ve just read through most of the other reviews and thought yep everyone feels the same. I then also realised that a lot of these reviews are from 1 - 2 years ago. Obviously nothing has changed. The creators and makers of this game can’t be reading or seeing people’s reviews. I hate how you purchase something and only get to use it a few times and then have to buy it again. Geez imagine that in the real world. Going out and buying a lounge suite but then being told you can only sit on it 5 times and then you have to pay for it again, or we will come and take it away. Once you buy something, it should then be yours!!! There should be NO limit on it. Most of the items are so expensive too. I hate having to scroll through looking for the cheapest items. In real life I don’t buy cheap but in this game you have to. I refuse to use my own money, in any game, and will not do it in this one either. I’d rather delete the game. Until you level up your buying is so limited, that’s certainly not fair. Such a shame as this game could be loads of fun for the creative person. Pretty silly game really, just writing this makes me wonder why I’m even playing. Is my life that boring ... Nope, now where’s my gardening gloves, I think I’ll go out and play with my real succulents (that I get to keep 😁).Version: 1.57.015

Items are priceyGreat game but you can buy a decent amount of diamonds and it’s gone before you blink! Sometimes you have to buy more than one set of dining chairs just to fill a table and I think there should be basic artwork etc that can be used at all times otherwise you have bare walls and no plants to complete the room. I understand the game needs to make money but everything can be pricey. Don’t think I’ve ever had a couch over $2000 throughout the whole time I’ve been playing this game!.Version: 1.39.018

My bad way to kill some time.Dying to redo my own interior but I rent so I can't do squat so this is how I'm getting my decorating fix. I haven't had any issues with the app itself, in saying that I have just updated it so hopefully no bugs or dropouts!! The game itself is pretty good, is a fun way to play around with colours and styles without doing it in real life. They are stingy with diamonds and cash and it would be so much better if you could preview more than two items at once. One more thing they should spend more time on: explaining the difference between items you buy with diamonds vs cash because it's too confusing. Also, they could include a way for users to change the orientation of pieces (like tables and rugs and that gold horse...for example)..Version: 1.03.17

Money problemThis game is cool however, it’s hard to get money. You only win $500 if you do a challenge. Yet all the furniture is $1000 and above. Also when there’s a criteria you have to by new items to match the requirements. So you’re spending at least $1000 or above on each item. You win diamonds but not money. There is no other way to win money. Unless you use your own money to buy money. There needs to be a way to earn more money to keep playing. ITS STUPID. Win money every time you reach a new level? Up the amount when you finish a level? It’s annoying cause I wanna keep playing but have no money.Version: 1.48.016

The stock you buy disappears like all the timeI really want to enjoy this app by building up my own items but they disappear and I find I’m having to use my challenge won money to buy the same things over again. The app tells you to login via Facebook and your stocked items will be there the next time you play but no it’s not. I like the game it’s a great just fix it so I can create something awesome 😎.Version: 1.06.10

Imagination lackingThe game could be quite fun but the game dupes you into spending money to be able to participate. Despite my having an extensive inventory, many challenges have particular requirements like “modern” or traditional” or rustic” that make my inventory unusable. So I have to buy an almost identical piece of furniture to one I own to play. Also, as complained of by others, the voting has nothing to do with design. It has to do with spending money. In real life, I have never seen a room with purple furniture, rug, wall art, floor art and table art. But that is what gets 5 stars. Not much imagination there. Or design. Just throw money at it. Often all the five star rooms have the same pieces in them and look identical. And the game keeps adding new categories to fill that ups the ante on spending money. Some of the floor art are placed in the middle of the room where they would be tripped over but these have now become a requirement to score a 5. We designers should be more thoughtful in our voting. I don’t vote for rooms with floor art in the middle. Or using the same picture, table art etc. all over the room. I give votes to designers who use more than one color in their room. Or who use their dollars or diamonds to buy special pieces rather than bundles for bundle dumps. Be more discerning as designers and voters! Lastly, I don’t blindly complete all challenges. Save up for the good stuff and only enter if the prize is worth it!.Version: 1.84.038

Great Concept but massive Money GrabThe game itself is fun and beautiful, anyone interested in interior design would definitely enjoy. Good selection of furniture and decor and themed items. The issue is that everything within the game is very expensive, and you only get to use an item 5 times before having to purchase it again. Without diamonds you also have no access to decor items. While I understand it takes time and effort to design the game and constantly come up with new themes and special decor, you have to spend a small fortune to be able to fully enjoy the game. The amount of uses per item should be increase to at least 10 - otherwise cost really doesn’t match he value..Version: 1.99.025

Crashes upon startupI can’t even play it, just downloaded it and every time I try to open it it crashes.Version: 1.24.033

Unfair gameAs like what the other reviewers said, I agree in many ways as felt the same! Design has to be creative as its own, not limiting to only certain colour or theme to get 5*. Also if I did not purchase the new furnitures from new bundle, you will get below 4 for the Design. That’s lose the purpose and discourage someone’s creativity. To all these reasons, I stop playing this..Version: 1.55.011

Rip-off game - You will lose inventory you have paid forI normally don't play app or video games but realised with this one I have found something I can switch my mind off after a stressful day at work. For this particular reason, I didn't mind spending 35 £ in total on some nice inventory which has helped me to participate in more contests and also level up. I have realised the inventory you purchase can only be used 5x which is a joke as there are so many contests and obviously you would want to use your nicest furniture again and again (that should be your right as you paid for it). But no, they think it's ok to steal it from your inventory after using it 5x. This applies to ALL inventories including reward items. Nice game but as previews reviewers have mentioned, it is meant to make you fail, a lot of server issues and I don't like to spend money on something that makes me feel like I am getting ripped off. I am reporting this to iTunes and hope to get my money back as at the time of purchase there is no mention whether you will own the inventory forever or lose it at some point. I would have never spend money on something that I wouldn't experience or physically own. Just saw it as a way of relaxing and thought some people spend money on console games and I spend it here but hey I would have never spend it on these thieves if they had made me aware I would lose my inventory. Such an unethical company. Stay away!.Version: 1.03.48

StupidI have this on my iPhone and it's great but when I tried to download on my iPad for someone else to use as there is no card connected to that account, it still was on my account. Despite having family sharing off, game center off, different Facebook account and different apple id. Very frustrating. Really dumb way of doing things as there is no option to make a completely new account..Version: 1.03.69

Okay but not amazing.It starts off fun but you quickly run out of diamonds, the furniture is limited and the voting system is all luck. I have two accounts and can sometimes do a room identically on both and get under 4 star on one and over on another. The 5 star prize is near impossible but it’s also pretty lame - should be worth a lot more. Also every time you go up a level you open new decor but most obit is really ugly and absolutely wouldn’t help you win a room so what is the point of that?.Version: 1.45.020

GlimmaThis has always been my favourite game, best formula and fashion representation I have ever seen …. HOWEVER …. I CAN NEVER AFFORD TO PLAY it properly as prices are out of reach when it comes to the cool stuff, like rugs, art, table art, floor art, plants etc, with out these your rooms appear incomplete and you end up winning no prizes and a low score. I always end up deleting the game! Don’t bother with it, I’ve played it on and off for about 7 years and you get to a point that your designs are just ugly and ridiculous and you can’t afford to enter the competitions as you can never earn enough cash in the game to buy furniture that you need to enter most competitions. It’s always been this way to make you pay for the diamonds but not everyone can or even wants to do so, this greatly reduces to games enjoyment. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME PLAYING IT, they will never fix the issue, THIS GAME’S TOO EXPENSIVE.Version: 1.103.049

Frustrating but funLots of frustrating things about this game like the fact you would have to spend an absolute fortune to be able to produce the rooms you would like to. Instead you are left to use what you have in your designs and get frustrated that you can't afford to put the furniture and accessories that you would like to into a room. I just refuse to spend money daily on a game, if that's not an issue for you you will love this. Also the challenges are usually to design an 'industrial' style living room for example. I always follow the brief and produce a decent offering and then see all the 5 star winners styled the room in an all white or coastal style. Great rooms but surely in a design game the design brief should be a factor. Clearly not. I agree with other reviewers too that I have sometimes saved up diamonds for 8/9 days to pay for one sofa then after a couple of uses it's gone. I struggle to buy wall art if I want to buy a plant or similar. The game is stacked against you unless you spend money basically. That being said it is addictive and fun. I used to get highly frustrated that my designs weren't as good as I wanted them to be because of the issues mentioned but now I just think if people are clearly paying a fortune for their inventory they deserve to win! Good luck to them..Version: 1.03.41

Good game, but needs improvement.Have been playing for years. Great game, however, gets repetitive when you can't buy the expensive or diamond items. Would like to see more cheap furniture options because I end up buying the same furniture over and over due to needing diamonds or thousands of in game dollars for more interesting items. I would also like to see the ability to filter based on price because again, I can't afford a lot of the items or the diamond items so I would like to be able to skip them when looking for new furniture. More cheap decoration items would also make the game more diverse because the expensive diamond items are unattainable. There should be a more even distribution between types of room to design, most often you are designing living rooms. Overall, would recommend, however, needs improvement..Version: 1.56.011

Greedy developersThis game was really great (I’ve been playing for a year now) , but as it becomes more and more popular the developers seem to exploit its popularity to unreasonably increase revenue to them. Increasingly reduced rewards have been used to tempt players into purchasing design items to win. Ive felt pushed into a corner design-wise where items are so reduced a purchase is favourable…I’ve resisted !! Season pass purchases are poor value now. See Instagram for user comments about this. I like the game as it’s high quality and you can play without spending anything (gets a bit boring) but I am so disappointed at the greed of the developers who constantly make a change as soon as they see a revenue opportunity… at the expense of the player. It’s easy to spot what they’re up to if you have been playing for a while and rewarding ‘user loyalty’ wouldn’t go amiss!.Version: 1.71.036

Ripped OffTotally agree with everyone’s review about this app being expensive. Awesome concept and I bet the developers are making a massive profit off every idiot using real cash to buy fake furniture for a limited time. Unfair as in real life with my real money my furniture doesn’t have a use 5 times expiry. If people use real money to buy things then they should be theirs permanently. The payout for challenges doesn’t come anywhere near the layout needed to do them. Would be nice if the developers actually listened and actioned some of the feedback given in these reviews..Version: 1.07.15

Purchases not always correctI love playing this game but I’ve noticed that it’s possible to purchase the same item without knowing it, leaving the player with two of the same item. It also seems that not all items purchased are available for all of the stated number of uses. Further, it’s an unfair advantage to higher score players to have their designs judged against those of lower level players. The availability of higher end wall decor and decorator items increases as the levels are completed creating an advantage for the higher leveled designs. Also, when borrowing from another player, the item should be available as a duplicate if used in the same design. It’s not helpful to be permitted an opportunity to borrow a sofa, for example, in a design that requires two and be unable to use the borrowed item more than once. I’ve also noticed that special design items purchased seem to disappear, regardless of the number of uses remaining available, when the limited use timeframe expires. That’s not fair to the player. If items are purchased they should remain available for use until the designer has exhausted their use. Finally, not all purchased items show as owned in spite of the money being taken from the designer. I agree with the other review... purchased items should remain the property of the designer, rather than limited to a certain number of uses. Seems very one sided....Version: 1.04.08

Diamonds/cashI think we should have the option to sell items to make money to buy items needed. I also think we need to get paid more for challenges as we spend around $6000 on average for one challenge that pays $500. Soon enough we run out of money and can’t play the game anymore. I’ve already brought four lots of diamonds in three days on my other device..Version: 1.42.027

Money hungry.. not a game.I mean it’s fun, but if you don’t spend money you can’t really play.. decorations cost diamonds and more than a daily earning.. way too many bonus decorations for extra costs now and they’re double the amount of diamonds for each products.. they’re never on the cheap side and the rooms, are all features to those objects.. so you kinda want to have something to match. Also the voting is total bull. I’ve done badly matched rooms because I didn’t care and got high marks, other times Ive done the same and get 5 star. Even following the colour matching perfectly like the other high ratings players and don’t even get past 4 stars.. people don’t actually vote accordingly. I’ve tested it. It’s gotten way too money hungry. Not to mention how buggy and issues they’ve been having lately...Version: 1.44.027

Could be betterThe game gets frustrating trying to play only once a day and never having enough coins to buy furnishings to complete challenges. Definitely better decorating games out there.Version: 1.55.011

Needs to be more interestingI’ve got to say I’ve played this game since covid started so I’ve played it for a long time, I used to be obsessed with it but I find it so frustrating how much you have to spend your diamonds and then if you use quite a few of them you can’t play the game for a while until you’ve built them up again, I downloaded playhouse on the App Store and it was amazing, you got rewarded a lot and you could move the objects around to where you wanted them and the objects didn’t cost much in diamonds at all, I was about to delete design home but then playhouse announced it was going offline which I’m absolutely devastated about, it’s left me even more dissatisfied with design home in comparison, I’m still thinking about deleting the app which is a shame cause I’ve been playing it for years but I just find it boring now..Version: 1.92.024

Not freeYou think you can play free but you can’t. DH make sure of that. At first, you progress easily from level to level. But when you have to get 1000000$ worth of designs to get to the next level, you either need to buy diamonds, or design only one room a day for a while. But you’re hooked by then so forget it (and forge5 tapjoy rewards, so many bugs and errors, it’s hell). What’s more, the customer service at DH is crap. And the voting process it’s faulty. Anyway, if you don’t invest money your design are not that pretty and you often don’t get the prize, so it’s a spiral from hell. I would not recommend it..Version: 1.23.0026

Another rip off mobile gameI was having a lot of fun with this game until I noticed items disappearing from my inventory. This includes items I bought with real money. Then I figured out you can only use your items 5 times before you have to rebuy them. What an absolute rip off. A few seasonal or special items having limited use would be ok. But forcing people to rebuy things over and over is just unfair. This is made worse by the fact that most items cost a lot, and it’s really hard to acquire enough money or diamonds in game without paying real money. I will not be putting another cent into this game. For once it would be nice to find a mobile game that doesn’t try to screw people with micro transactions..Version: 1.60.014

Not enjoyable anymore!I used to really enjoy this app, but it’s stupid how you can only buy accessories (pictures and pot plants, etc) with diamonds, with no real way of earning them. I would be happy to watch a video ad to earn 20 or 25 diamonds like other apps do. You offer 15 free diamonds for watching a video that takes several minutes to just load (more often than not it doesn’t load) let alone the 30sec ad itself. This game was fine at the beginning because each time you went up a level you got given quite a few items to use but by the time you get up to level 14 where I am, the points required to go up to the next level gets bigger and bigger each time. So you run out of pictures to use. And then my other big issue is that you only getting to use a purchased item 5 times which is ridiculous. All I’m asking is make it a bit fairer, I enjoy the challenge of designing a room on a budget. But even that has become too hard now. So basically only people who are happy to spend real money will keep playing this game after a certain point. Fix these things and I would continue to play regularly..Version: 1.37.013

Items are far too expensiveNew player here. Great concept but almost impossible to continue playing without purchasing more currency or diamonds, which is a massive put off. If you want to retain and convert players, then some thought needs to be put into bringing the rewards up. Currently, they simply don’t stack up with the spend required to complete a design..Version: 1.101.104

Too Much TimeI’ve been playing this game for over five years and I agree with the most recent reviewers. Voting seems arbitrary, diamonds are being used as the currency for most of the quality items, and the only way I can feel good about my designs is to spend actual cash. The other issue I have is my backlog of useless furniture and room accessories. I can’t do much with one accent chair. I have enough desks to fill a corporate office, and most dining rooms need a rectangular table to work with 6 chairs - not round. Gifted items don’t match most decor and cause more backlog. Which brings me to what is really bugging me. Scrolling through this backlog takes up to 15 minutes or more longer. The greater the backlog, the more time spent. I’ve taken to only using items at the beginning of the list in order to have time to play at all. My guess is others have too. Suggestions include reducing the price of items by offering four instead of five, have less diamond items, and offer more chances to return more unusable items. Also, give us more opportunities to use desks, beds, cribs, and other items by offering a variety of room types instead of a majority of living room challenges. I do like that some living rooms only need one accent chair and more benches are being used at dining tables. This saves me from buying two sets of chairs. Any adjustments in these directions would be appreciated..Version: 1.90.059

Mon avisJ’ajouterai les prix lorsque nous les mettons aux tableaux tant qu’ils n’ont pas été acheté, plus facile à calculer avant de faire des choix et j’ajouterai mettre de côté pour les meubles que l’on a envie d’avoir car difficile parfois de les retrouver, trop long parfois de tout refaire les choix. Merci.Version: 1.37.013

There’s not enough MONEY to design!!!!!This issue has been raised before and it would be greatly appreciated if the creators of this game would take this into account — WE NEED TO EARN THE DIAMONDS AND CASH IN SOME OTHER WAY RATHER THAN PAYING FOR IT. The game, as others have said, is really addicting. However, after a certain point, you wouldn’t have enough cash and diamonds to continue playing. Yes, you get daily prizes but to fully enjoy the game, you need to buy furnitures and decorations that will fit the criteria or theme of the room. To do so successfully, you need to BUY some items using the game’s cash. BUT THESE ITEMS ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE! Why don’t you increase the cash prize for each daily challenges? Why don’t you make 3 daily challenges instead of 1, so we can choose? Or why don’t you increase the cash prize earned for each completed room? Also, If we do watch the advertisement to get diamonds, why can’t we get 30 instead of just 15? I know it’s mimicking the real world, where budgeting is a crucial aspect, but all I’m asking is to make it fairer—at least make it DOABLE to design more than a room per day! It is a GAME after all! I think if you want people to continue playing this, you need to make them WANT TO PLAY it. I would love to play this game everyday, but because of these issues, I’m slowly turning towards other games. Seeing other people’s reviews, I think they have the same sentiment..Version: 1.50.018

Since the last updateI have lost all of my history in the app since the last update..Version: 1.42.022

Has so much potential but too slowThis app has so much potential. But you wait so like g for things to happen. Live challenges are few and far between. 8-12 hours is a ridiculous length of time to wait for a challenge. You wait 1-4 days for results, then you wait another day (even longer ) for the results to actually show. It’s expensive to play this and it’s too hard to gain any rewards. The only people really having fun are the people collecting my hard earned money! Give this a miss and look for something better!!!.Version: 1.67.017

Bundles getting too expensiveBeen playing this game for a few years & spent what I consider to be a reasonable amount of real money on it. On the whole I enjoy the game, don’t have an issue with only getting 5 uses out of a purchase and, as long as you score high enough, you win items anyway. I only enter challenges where I want the prize, if I don’t like the item I won’t enter. My only issue is the constant special offer bundles, if you don’t buy them you’re at a disadvantage in the game. They started off at £1.99 each, so £4 if you buy both packs, but gradually the price has been increasing & the current ones are £3.99 each. Still not bad but they’re coming up every week or so and, sorry, I’m not prepared to keep forking out on them. Will probably scale back on play now, log in once a day to claim diamonds & enter an occasional challenge but nothing more..Version: 1.29.018

Great Game, VERY SLACK Customer ServiceEdit: I still stand by my previous review from a couple of years ago. This game is a rip off and they charge you for items you haven’t even purchased. I now remember why I stopped playing. Yes it is addictive and fun but it’s also a money guzzling rip off!!! Beware! I used to love playing this game, I think the concept of it is fantastic. HOWEVER! I have been ripped by the APP twice in the last couple of weeks and do you think Customer Service have even gotten back to me? I had accumulated a LOT of money and diamonds only to have it disappear and I have contacted support 3 times, the first time they got back to me and asked for further details so they could look into it which I gave them. It's been 2 weeks with 3 follow up emails and NO reply. Then today I was charged twice for diamonds (which I rarely buy). They then sent me an email saying my problem has been solved..no it hasn't....Version: 1.50.018

OkI got this app and i was really excited and happy.. until i realised it’s a waste of time! U should get another game rather then getting this app. I mean sometimes it’s fun but other times it’s super stressing! And I completely agree with joey2364, it’s a bummer that it takes away the items u buy when u’ve only used it at least 6 times, I mean COME ON! It’s stupid. And all the things are expensive and i don’t want to buy with my real money a couple diamonds or game money or even a pack of items when they’re just gonna be taken away the forth time i use them. Just go and do something fun outside or play another game or look out ur window at the glorious nature. This game is a waste of time and i advise u not to get it. Now i’m gonna go away and play a useful app, so not design home. Bye😊.Version: 1.60.014

Warning, will steal your moneyI have had this game for a while and have been good at not spending too much money on it, but that means you can’t play with the actual items you want so you end up making mediocre designs.. i decided to give myself an experiment of playing every challenge i wanted in january… i checked the total i had spent in the game mid month. $120!!!! and i still didn’t have the required items to enter all the upcoming challenges!!! the game gives you one free challenge a day that doesn’t have a requirement… All the other additional challenges require you to have certain furniture pieces that you must purchase within the game… What other game will you spend $120 on in two weeks and still not be able to play the levels you want!!???!!!???? Stay away, you will be broke lol.Version: 1.92.024

Not enough rewardsThere is not enough rewards to complete challenges even when I have brought a lot of diamonds, in order to be able to play the game I’d have to buy diamonds three or four times a week and still not enough since we only get $500 for a room when the room would cost about $3k on average, we also never have enough diamonds to buy art and plants etc. if we were rewarded bigger amounts people would buy more extravagant furniture and you would still make money because we’d always want more. But need to be realistic, there also not enough challenges and I find myself twirling my thumbs for hours on end waiting for a challenge..Version: 1.45.020

Items disappearing from InventoryI have found that my items have been disappearing from my inventory several times and that’s why I cancelled my credit card. I recently started to purchase again as time went by and the problem has not been fixed. My plants and picture frames just disappeared. I think this a way to scam people to keep purchasing. That’s why I give it a one star..Version: 1.96.091

Creative?Totally agree with ‘Boredsilly7’ comments. I also found a lot of winners were very matchy in their design schemes. I’m not saying I’m a designer but majority of rooms were very much overkill’s of exact same product (eg - 3 wall arts or 2 lamps). Would a real designer feature 3 of the exact same item? I looked at this app as an opportunity to be creative and see how I rate and whether I had that vision, which is now turned into trying to get 5.0 using whatever I have to do (matching). The creative and the client request vs use what I have, eg 5 of the same item because it’s hard to get anything else without spending actual money. Long story short... frustrated.Version: 1.22.02

Good game but you need to purchase diamonds with real money to experience the beautiful items ☹️😞Love this game, very exciting when you get a 5 star design but not easy at all to acquire unless you have a ton load of diamonds to purchase beautiful pieces with but it’s really hard to level up when diamonds is the currency used to purchase 90% of items yet the hardest thing to get, not fair, there should be a cash option on everything as that would make things wayyyyy easier for players because i ALWAY have way more cash than diamonds but I can’t buy most rugs and decor items because I never have enough diamonds. Very annoying but I know the trick and that’s how you make your money by people buying diamond with real cash..Version: 1.99.025

Started fun for a dayWhen I first started to play it was fun, and interesting to play. Then quickly, because of the cost, money ran out. While this is standard with a game that requires you to ‘spend money’ on items in the game, the fact that this money doesn’t replenish is what sets it apart, negatively, for me. Sure you get a bonus of diamonds, but it’s not that many and doesn’t let you do much. As well, the rules for a room should be displayed in the voting stage to make sure if you followed rules you aren’t punished by boring designs that rely on black white and grey (yawn). Was fun, but I will give up in the next couple days of no money. I’m not spending real money to design a fake home..Version: 1.22.02

Time to change things up!Please please please replace some of these decor items that we have been scrolling through for years now! The same rugs and paintings it makes want to quit playing, Also the dollar value that you guys put on your flower arrangements and pillows, blanket sets etc are out to lunch. Please make the game more enjoyable for everyone..Version: 1.98.073

Good idea but could be improvedI love this game and have had it for quite a while now. I love the idea of designing my own rooms and the furniture is very nice (normally). I just think there are a few things that could certainly be improved. One thing that many other players have spoken about is the borrowing of items. Furniture in this game is extremely expensive and often the cheapest thing is a around £800 in game money (for a sofa or something). Now I would usually not have a problem buying something for £800 + but I have got a problem with only having furniture for five times. I find this extremely frustrating as obviously the nicest furniture you have you will want to use. But if you constantly have to worry that you will have to repurchase the items you won’t use ur most expensive items. This is just a money scam on the game makers part and I think it is disgusting that they think they have the right to make people pay money in order to make nice designs. The game could be really successful if the game makers weren’t so greedy and actually wanted people to enjoy the game without worrying that there were going to loose money.Version: 1.47.016

Rebut items after useThis is an awful idea and shouldn’t be a feature, once we spent actual money on it it should be there indefinitely Terrible..Version: 1.56.011

Fun but misleadingDownloaded this app as it looked up my street from the adverts but was disappointed when I realised the design makeovers were not totally free choice and for competitions. Also annoyed to find out that once you use an item you can only use it max 5 times before purchasing it again which is ridiculous!!! On top of that, this applies to prizes you win through competitions which isn't really fair! 😡 That doesn't apply to the dressing up fashion game this same app company owns. What's the point of winning prizes if you can only use them 5 times and then lose them again? I wish this feature could be changed so we get to keep our prizes. Other improvements I suggest are the choice to filter by price high to low, low to high, gems only, coins only. It's really annoying having to scroll through lots of furniture. Please take my suggestions on board and I guarantee you will have a lot more happy customers and people who would download this app more..Version: 1.25.063

Love this game, but.................I’m getting really tired with people not following the room requirements. I feel like I see the same style of room over and over again. Also have just purchased the iPhone X max and I can not see the top of the page with this phone. Please update the app so it formats better on this phone. And one last thing - completely agree with a LOT of other comments regarding the pricing on items. It’s so expensive and I reckon people must be spending so much money on here, otherwise how else would they be able to create the rooms they do??.Version: 1.11.23

Half and halfI really love the relaxing nature of filling a room and making it work well within a budget as per the gameplay, however I want to be able to play the game without having to spend my own real money, and use ads occasionally to up my game ‘money’, but like so many other users of the app the main issue for me is that I can’t keep my inventory after I’ve used it 5 times, and although I understand the games partnership with real life furniture companies and the fact that the producers want to make money, it still seems like it’s been taken a bit too far in terms of gameplay versus capitalism. It’s a shame because I enjoy playing but can’t because I would essentially HAVE to spend my own real money to keep playing, even if I watch ads. Surely I should be able to keep playing by watching ads, and should be able to use my inventory infinitely seeing as I ‘bought it’. They’re just out to make a buck like the rest of us, expect they’re an abjective business that doesn’t care about its customers, and won’t last very long because of that..Version: 1.06.10

Stole my moneyI’ve complained numerous times now, to get useless replies, obv not interested in sorting out their problem. I use my own money (not pretend) to buy coins & diamonds to purchase items to use, for purchasing on their game, you get a score. I’ve showed them the room I finished ages ago now, also all the items I used, from snapshot I took of what gets shown underneath your room, saying clearly items I used! I’ve been fobbed off repeatedly, & now they said that was a tutorial for new users, those items are not available in inventory. Absolute lie! I took snapshots of all those items, still available in inventory to purchase now. They aren’t in my inventory as I used them on that design, to get nothing! They will not refund me for the items, they say not being scored still is a glitch they will look into, they’ve said that for the last 5 or 6 messages now, taking two days to answer each of my messages. They are happy to take your money, this company makes millions, yet they are blatantly not interested in their customers, telling lies to not pay my money back or compensate in coins & diamonds. I will find out how to take this further as it is theft in my opinion, I haven’t got what I paid for, so I must have consumer rights.Version: 1.24.035

Fun but could be betterI wish they would use photos and window views of the actual places you are supposed to be. Nothing quite as deceptive and disappointing as styling a room in Johannesburg (about 8 hours from the sea) when out of the window you can see ocean views. Also agree with others, unless you spend the money to get all the matchy-matchy themes, you won’t score as high, even if your room matches the brief and the winning one doesn’t..Version: 1.91.076

So many faults. But addictive at the same time.70% of the furniture items you win when getting a score of 4+ and when you level up are hideous. And just sit in my inventory not getting used. Ive accumulated SOOOOO much ceiling lights and corner suites but next to no challenges request them 🤦🏽‍♀️. They need to match more couches, seats and ottomans across the brands so can have better themes. Give even numbers of the items that require pairs cause you end up with so many 1 items. Give two houses when completing a challenge. Trying to get 12-15 takes aaaagggeeesss. Then you only get a tiny return when you do finally finish a room. I’ve spent $100ssssss of dollars on this game (dumb I know) but it would be nice to get some sort of loyalty points for that. Let me empty the items I want to get out of inventory..Version: 1.66.024

Poor technical support for and expensive gameI gave it two star, because they have very poor technical support. If you buy some designer bundles or diamonds and it charged you twice or wrong; they don’t get back to you for ages. I have issue with one of my home rooms, it won’t complete and gives an error. I have been contacting them for more than a week and no one has got back to me. Tried everything for troubleshooting info given in the app. Now my home points are at maximum and I can’t open any new rooms. They have designed this game to make you spend money and rating system is so poor. People with worst design can win if the paired against another poor design submission. Or you can get low rating because you are paired with very good design. Just a general observation, when you buy something in app you get better rating on your design, even if put minimal effort or accessories in..Version: 1.34.013

Addictive game BUT....I really see the potential in this game. It is addictive. I love it. BUT it’s not really a game. It’s a money spinner for the creators. In a game, you would be able to earn money to keep playing. But the only way to have enough to keep playing is to pay. It hooks you very fast so you either stop playing or pay a lot. And unlike other games, you can’t easily earn extra credits to keep playing. What i especially don’t understand is it makes you spend your own credits to design someone’s room but you never get that money back. So you are not a pretend designer, because they would get paid their investment plus a bonus. In this game the bonus is not enough to cover your spending or even enough to earn more money completing another job. There is NO WAY TO WIN. Anyone who keeps playing this beyond a few days must be spending their own money, kudos to the creators for creating a psuedo game which is really just the same as gambling at a casino because only the house can win..Version: 1.30.028

Excellent game, until they put the prices up!I’ve been playing this game for about 4 years now, I’m really into interior design and I find it relaxing to play when I’m feeling anxious. Today I’ve logged in and you’ve put the prices up, the sofa’s are more expensive for starters - I don’t know if you thought we wouldn’t notice but for a game that rewards you with a pittance for each design, you’d think you’d make the items more affordable. Instead you’ve clearly put prices up to push people into buying diamonds or cash. Very sneaky, and a game which was relaxing and one I enjoyed playing has lost it’s appeal, purely because of the creators greed. Lower the prices, have more decor that you can pay for with cash instead of diamonds and reward your players with more in game cash, otherwise you’re going to lose a ton of people who play it daily, like myself..Version: 1.54.007

Money hungryThe app is wonderful, but so money hungry.Version: 1.59.017

Fundamental flawWhilst I understand that an app has to earn money in some fashion, this app does take it to a slight extreme. I had this app a good while ago and while I can’t remember it, I redownloaded it today on level 2. It is a nightmare honestly, I just want to design rooms and have a fun time doing so, however it gives me somewhere to set each item down, which is fine, but here comes the problem, in order to pass each test or room or whatever you wish to call it, you need a certain piece of furniture. Now this in itself is fine, but when that piece of furniture costs maybe £1700 pounds, game money thankfully, it is awfully hard to pass any levels as for each you pass you get a reward of £500 and a new furniture piece. Now in order to gain money, you can either buy diamonds with real world money, or wait until you level up, but here’s the problem, how can you level up when you can’t afford to actually complete the levels in order to give you xp. This games concept is good, but until they make things less expensive or give people who aren’t really willing to pay or watch countless amounts of videos a chance, I wouldn’t bother..Version: 1.49.017

I love this game but...I really liked this game because I'm interested in interior design and home styling and this game is very entertaining and realistic ( exept a few very ugly paint and decor elements) so love this game but the voting system very annoying and unfair! If you not use black or white or boring simple designs the most of time you can not reach the minimum 4 stars... when you try make a design with the style what the challange says you lost the voting in most cases. i am at the 18 levels now and i love this game ( i spend a lot of money as well!) but I'm beginning to feel it makes no sense. 😕 may be the problem that I learned aesthetics and home decor and most of the voting player is amateur. Most of the wall art selection under level 18 useless and ugly. In the real life you can found lots of cheap and nice ( elegant) home decor. It would be great find some in the game as well. ;).Version: 1.03.41

ScammersThis game is nothing but a money grabber I would like it more if U didn’t have to pay to play..Version: 1.24.035

Addictive and beautiful graphics, but...Started this game about a week ago and was instantly hooked. Beautiful furniture, rooms, and huge inventory to choose from. It's very relaxing to sit down on a break and design a room. However, I too have to echo what has been mentioned before: 1. Many of the "winners" aren't being selected for the actual criteria listed. If I was a customer that wanted a specific style i.e. Rustic and I walk into a completely opposite direction of design like a contemporary style I'd be upset. What's the point of even having a specific challenge when others will just do their own thing. Not very fair to the ones actually designing for the specific style this challenge states. 2. Again, with the challenges not being specific to needs met--I recognize that it is difficult to buy anything the challenge requires if you're only limited to a few hundred diamonds per day, or having to vote so many times to get the allotted amount of keys, and with the daily challenge only $2500. Great idea, don't get me wrong, just a little refining and I'm sure the developer will get it right. 3. More daily challenges?? More challenges throughout the day!! Please. I hate waiting an entire day for votes/voting without working on my own project. Maybe don't wait so many days between designing and voting? I only write this review because this game is fun, addictive, and I really hope they can refine some of these mentioned features..Version: 1.03.30

Fun game, shame about customer serviceIt’s a really enjoyable game to play, and if you go in every day to do the daily challenge and get your daily reward you can play it quite a bit without spending money. I have had it a couple of months and on occasion have spent some money to play more as I was enjoying it so much. However the other day there was a glitch in the daily challenge where it said I had none of a specific item, when I definitely did have those items and in the right size for that space (both on my iPad and my daughter went into it on her iPad and had the same issue) It had nothing to do with how the game generally works, with not all items fitting all spaces, which I totally understand. I wanted to flag it to customer service so they could investigate and avoid it happening again in future, but now twice they have responded telling me I don’t understand how the game works. I was only trying to be helpful, but them not reading my messages properly and being condescending in their response makes me not want to spend any more money on this game, although I’ll continue to play for free. This is one of two games I play regularly, the other has much better customer service if there’s any issues, which is always friendly & helpful, so guess which app I’ll spend my money on in future! Not this one!!!.Version: 1.100.060

Getting PriceyI have played this game for many years. At first when you had the option to buy the limited time furnishings there would be two price points. This is becoming less and less available with only a higher price option. Sometimes the only way to access the the limited furniture is only through purchase and not available in the shop to use your diamonds to buy with. I do not always think the scoring is fair as I don’t think many people read the description of the room eg rustic, tropical etc. Placement of furnishings is sometimes unrealistic and wasteful as a plant in front of foliage blends in or table top furnishings in front of a fire is hard to see. Daily rewards are low and it can take a long time to reach the next level. Perhaps a bonus day once a week with extra diamonds would express your gratitude towards your customers..Version: 1.74.031

Too hardI absolutely love this game - I’m at level 826 so that really proves it. BUT the levels are just far too hard and the prices for things is just insane! And especially when you have to, for example, destroy a wall, build a wall, paint a wall, build door frame, inset door...it all adds up. I’m 44% through a design and it’s taken me forever. Please make the game easier or at least give daily prizes like other games... I’ve lost interest because I spend almost weeks trying to pass a level :(.Version: 1.52.017

Unfair game aimed to make you buy creditsCrashes ALL the time! Always says connection problem and needs a restart. If you buy diamonds with your own money then you’ll enjoy this but if you play with the 500 given daily, you will not have the same advantage. Challenges are all repetitive and no variety. Requires a lot of diamonds to buy all that is required to complete one room and too dependent upon diamonds and so these are finished quickly. Things that are bought with diamonds are v expensive to make you purchase more with physical money. You can use anything you have 5 times and then it’s taken away from you (it’s used up). You compete against people who are in highly levels than you so you never win the full 5 stars award. Game is ruined by all this. Finally topped off by the voting that feels rigged as you rarely ever win 5 stars. The game forces you to “sign in” meaning link it to a Facebook account (which I consciously don’t have) and if you don’t then you are thrown back about 20 stages and all your inventory taken away. Such a poor game that I’ve deleted it now and couldn’t not recommend enough! Don’t waste your time if you have sense..Version: 1.93.025

Constantly CrashingThis game crashes every single time I have opened it and tried to play since the most recent update. It’s usually within the first minute of playing and the most annoying part is it doesn’t save the room progress so you’re back to square one every single time. I typically love this game but have been totally unable to complete any rooms because of this constant crashing. I love this game and have been playing it since 2017! I think I’m at Level 45 so definitely a lot of time spent on this game! Please look into this and fix ASAP!.Version: 1.47.016

Don’t bother installing thisYou can play the first day but once your money is over it’s impossible to gain some more. Most items are overpriced and challenges take way too long for the results. I recommend any other app of home design over this..Version: 1.57.015

Addictive fun but expensive!Dont get me wrong, I love this app but compared to other titles and games the free play is pretty lacking with those players only being able to rely on the daily reward and room design to compete. I often feel like sympathy voting for their bare mismatched rooms. Id prefer a better freeplay experience for those who cant afford this app. As for those who can afford to spend over £50 a month (and im sure theres plenty who spend more!) the rewards are pretty paltry too. One house point per design when it was Two is tightfisted and makes the game slow..after all, for each of our homes we complete, it takes a huge spend with little reward for the furniture used? Also bit fed up with the prizes, lots of unusable pieces..why cant we sell them like in reality? Love it but dont think it rewards fairly. It is addictive but very frustrating to be always waiting long periods for the next challenge..Version: 1.63.027

Wildly Addictive - but Wildly Expensive!I’ve loved this app since I found it, just a few weeks ago. I’m not a professional designer or anything, but an avid HGTV viewer and I love to learn about interior design. So every challenge has been so much fun! Great concept, but, sadly, I have to say goodbye. Just too expensive to play well, and no fun to play badly! I agree with other comments I’ve seen, that the following improvements would encourage more players, and ultimately, a more successful app: 1. For the love of heaven, when we buy items, why can’t we keep them? Making your users buy the same items over and over again just seems greedy and mean. 2. Isn’t there some way to help or at least encourage voters to stick with the design criteria, rather than just voting for what they like? Maybe a daily reward for designers and voters who stick most closely to the stated criteria. 3. Diamonds need to replenish more quickly if you want people to continue playing every day. Obviously, the reason they don’t replenish is because you want people to buy diamonds. However, unless your demographic is limited to only the wealthy, your player base is going to disintegrate at some point, hopefully before they’re in bankruptcy and/or divorce court. Which brings me back to my decision to delete the app. I will miss it, but the credit card statement I received in the mail today is a powerful motivation. And I’d like to stay married..Version: 1.05.07

This app is fun butThey don’t want you to use it for free.Version: 1.57.015

Fun at first but sneaky, costly, unfair, greedy.I purchased the package deal of diamonds and game dollars on day 2 of playing after realising that it wouldn’t be possible to participate in most design challenges with only the measly amounts earned from watching ad videos and receiving daily scraps. I then excitedly built up my Inventory, selecting many great furniture and styling items, only to find out the hard way (undisclosed at time of purchase!) that items would gradually disappear from ‘Owned’! Apparently there is ‘limited use’ of Inventory items before they have to be re-purchased! Seriously? And with no reasonable way of earning sufficient in-game dollars and diamonds to complete challenges? While we feel more and more frustrated and ripped off, the App owners will surely be laughing all the way to the bank... ... earning money from in-game purchases, advertisers, selling email addresses* and probably also earning commissions on real world furniture purchases through their game. I’m glad I didn’t provide an email address and just used Apple sign-in, as I have read that other people have been bombarded with marketing emails from over 80 businesses after completing a survey in a futile attempt to earn enough in-game currency needed to play..Version: 1.53.015

Waste of timeThis game is frustrating. The items tend to be very over priced and the same people always come in first place with similar designs every time, even though they don’t fit the given brief. To do well in this game you also have to spend real money as the higher rating items tend to be the most expensive and the computer algorithm that rates the rooms tends to favour more expensive items. Would not recommend, you are better off finding a different interior design game (there are many better ones).Version: 1.49.017

Can't make moneyDesigned to make you spend cash.Version: 1.52.017

Expensive and crashes all the time!!At first I really enjoyed this app it’s great. Then you quickly realize you have to spend a lot of money to keep up with the design demands. Also it crashes multiple times while in the middle of designing a room and I lose my design and have to start again, this has happened over and over again in the last month saying “there is a technical issue and needs to restart” as well as it freezes and also “can’t find items in the warehouse” error comes up when selecting already bought items. It’s very glitchy of late and frustrating to the point I don’t want to play anymore. Also it freezes when I purchase diamonds and charges me but doesn’t load diamonds therefore I’ve spent money and not received my diamonds! The rewards should be better especially if you score a 5 you should get 1000 diamonds instead of a stingy 125, you only get more if it’s a particular challenge. You need to give your players more of a incentive to stay as the furniture is expensive and the score rewards are poor and so low that it’s hardly worth the time or effort to play anymore. I really enjoy the game, however you need to review the reward system and also update the glitches..Version: 1.10.08

Great until I needed them to resolve an issueI love this game. I appreciate that unlike other design games you don’t have to play stupid games to get the in-game currency. I appreciate that they give you a daily allotment and the prizes are based on merit. On that note, however, I feel the scores given for designs are VERY inconsistent and I don’t understand how that works. I’ve had rooms decorated very similarly to 5 star rated rooms, but have received below 4 stars, not allowing me a prize. And on the flip side, I’ve had rooms thrown together with whatever inventory I’ve had that have received 5 stars. I can’t explain that. All of that I can deal with, because I love the creative outlet. However, after more than 2 years of playing the game, I had my first issue. I went to purchase a temporary decor “bundle” and though I was charged, I never received it. I tried again, and it said my previous purchase would be restored. It was not and I was charged again. I contacted the app developer SEVERAL times over a period of a week and received NO response other than an acknowledgment in a delay. After contacting them several more times, I still received NOTHING. Thank goodness Apple gave me refunds. I am VERY disappointed with their customer service and have half the mind the delete the game because of this. There is NO EXCUSE for not responding to your customer’s issues - especially when that particular customer invests REAL currency in your game..Version: 1.42.027

Refrain BrainThis app grossly misleads the user. It’s amazing how the app does not make it clear before hand that you don’t ‘buy’ the virtual furniture but you borrow them for a few times using the virtual & actual money you spend. It is also ridiculous how the user is subject to: -The advertisement of certain products (for which advertisement the app itself gets compensated by the product companies no doubt I should think) -The adds that the user may chose to watch in order to get diamonds ( for which the app again I should think makes a profit from) . Noting that the same adds are valued differently depending on what agreement the app has made with the company advertised. It’s fine if you are a company advertising your product on the app but not so fine if you are playing the game & subject to this discrepancy. Not to mention that claiming your free rewards could take much longer than the time available to find sth a challenge as well as being subject to a more often than not malfunctioning system. - The fact that your money buy diamonds but your diamonds can only BORROW staff not buy- & for this reason I feel that the makers of this app grossly mislead the user. When I first started using the app I found it a great idea & was willing to purchase diamonds & bundles but after playing for a bit I realized what the app rules are (including the claiming rewards procedure) & I decided that I would rather look around for other alternatives than engage..Version: 1.08.05

Fun but so slowIt takes forever to earn money to buy furniture. Items to purchase are very expensive. I have enjoyed it but now the I heresy is fading because it is too difficult to earn money and diamonds. It’s a shame really..Version: 1.59.017

Frustrated DesignerI’ve been more and more disappointed in your design app. It is too hard to get enough diamonds to be able to purchase accessories I.e. painting or wall hangings. There needs to be a section that some of the items you can use cash for. Also the gift reward for scoring over 4 points item ALWAYS seem to be white. That needs to change and include accessories as rewards too. I’ve been using the new program with the rewards pass. It has addd some fun to the game. However once again we are being rewarded with boring neutral items, not much cash and diamonds are only for sale. I would be happier to be required to watch more of the commercials for diamonds and/or cash. I too feel there is something as-cued about the voting and the scores I get. I am an interior designer and have worked with my clients and made them very happy and pleased with my work. I’m certain that some other player have jus hit the equal score button as fast as they can so they can get the rewards and never really look at the designs. I feel I’ve been not judged correctly because it’s so easy to do that. I myself have done it on occasion. I love this app and am trying to not get frustrated with it the way it is. I think the rewards pass needs to be modified as I’ve mentioned above. I will have to stope playing thi app if it does not get any better very soon. Thank you, Terry Clark.Version: 1.86.060

Pros and ConsFirst for the Pros. The game is fun, relaxing and allows you to express your creativity through home design. If you have friends that also play you can connect via Facebook and share inventory. Definite Pro. It’s also nice to see how your friends interpret the same room. Now for the Cons. At the top of the list is any interaction with Tapjoy. In order to obtain any wall decor, table art, or floor decor you have to earn or buy (with real money) diamonds. Some furniture also costs diamonds. They are hard to earn. Each day you earn 500 diamonds but most items are 700 diamonds plus. Most rooms need 6-7 items that are purchased with diamonds. In other words to play and completely outfit a room 500 diamonds a day doesn’t cut it. So you have to watch videos or take advantage of offers posted by Tapjoy. Most of these are scams. BEWARE! They just want you to spend real money. It is difficult to play without spending money. Diamonds should be more easily earned. You have to earn 5 stars on a design to earn 250 diamonds. This is a rare occasion. In order to earn 5 stars other players vote randomly on your designs. Sometimes they get it right and sometimes they don’t. Conclusion, the game can be frustrating since you are constantly trying to get diamonds to play and they don’t provide enough ways to get them without paying real money. Play at your own risk, I do cause I like to decorate. I wish there was another app like this. I would switch in a minute..Version: 1.13.16

I Vote and on the Worst DesignsClearly, ratings on done based on - shall I say - taste - and those with bad taste are slotted in to compete against each other. I’ve seen some pretty horrible designs get a 5. It’s also hard to even vote on some of them as they are sooooo bad. It also appears, that you are rated higher if you’ve purchased and used the current “trending packages”. Anyhow, it is fun, and I refuse to feel bad if my rating is lower. For the most part, my ratings are decent and when there are low 4’s I look at the 5 star ones and see that is is generally because they forked out $ to purchase the flavour of the day items to do their design..Version: 1.94.041
