Home Design 3D - GOLD EDITION for Negative User Reviews
✓ Regularly CrashingUnable to add additional roofing surface without crashing..Version: 5.1.3
✓ No roofs!!!Bought the latest iPad and Apple Pencil so I was excited and thought it be great to buy home designing app to release the design in me, so I feel disappointed as it’s quite disappointed with this app is Limited and it’s not as good as promo video suggested, I am struggling with the upper floors and The levels ie: walls on walls to make more levels, and I have not got that far yet to make roofs as that function is not on this one. Also They want you to pay more money to have more Advance program, also if you do a like on f.b you get more unlock objects In this design, I know I only payed £12 but I do Believe you should get more for your money..Version: 4.3.4
✓ Great conceptThis is fantastic for designing your home and garden, BUT, there needs to be better options for garden plants, I mean, who wants to have to use the nice potted ones all the time to create a nice green colourful garden. Also, there is few fence options, seriously, that’s just crazy. All in all I think more needs to go into this to make it more realistic, plus all objects should have an elevation option, I’ve gone to create a nice terraced sitting area, but the furniture can’t be raised to the same height. There is some very boring choices for indoor lighting and fans. And like others have said WHATS WITH HAVING NO ROOFS.? You make an app to seem more realistic, but you never thought to create different types of roofs, the roof is what gives a house that finished look, it plays a huge part in the overall design of the house. Outdoors, there should be options for curved land, we like to have curved gardens, paths and driveways. I went to the gold version because it was supposed to be better. Please address these issues. Also, why are there no options for glass as a texture? It’s one of those things you really need in a house. My latest project won’t even let me view it in 3D, it just closes the app, do you have a limit on how many projects you can have?.Version: 4.3.4
✓ I really wanted to love this app but...The glitches in the app are too frustrating and really make the app unusable. Even creating the simplest layout is difficult. If you add a room or change a wall length, other measurements and objects are also affected, some of which you don't realize until later. Often times, you have to delete windows, walls, and objects to try and reset dimensions. However, rarely does that fix the problem. Many times, you will have a crooked wall and no amount of tweaking will straighten the wall. This means you cannot add any windows or doors to that particular section. Oh, and forget about adding additional stories! Frequently, I have been unable to change the flooring, even after following the tutorial exactly. I have spent countless hours trying to fix issues just to add a window or make an object line up correctly. It's completely maddening to invest so much time and realize all of your efforts were in vain..Version: 4.3.4
✓ FurnitureThere aren’t enough furniture options. Also the furniture that is available in the app is quite ugly. Another problem i have with the app is that there aren’t enough landscaping greenery..Version: 4.4.2
✓ Loads of bugs since updateSince the major update there’s so many bugs. Mainly around trying to housekeep old project files. I think the common link is I’m on iCloud but I’m not sure. Bugs include - can’t delete projects as they reappear again, crashes constantly when deleting multiple projects, trying to drag drop into folders the thumbnail is different to the dragged project ie it’s getting confused what I’m selecting. The new layouts aren’t totally obvious of what’s where if you’re used to the old GUI. Marking this as 1* so these bugs get seen. Been using this for years before now..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Give me my money back!This app is unstable. Ideally suited to fans of frustration who also desire the ability to lose hours of their life when plans get corrupted. It spontaneously shuts down. A lot. There is absolutely no support. Free online services for desktop do an infinitely better job. Biggest waste of my money since the time I set fire to a hundred..Version: 2.7.3
✓ Single level only - disappointingPurchased this app as it had a considerable number of excellent reviews. Room layouts and such are pretty easy to use and nicely featured. However, if you want to design anything other than on a flat pad forget it. There don’t seem to be any capabilities to design split level or multi story designs. I live in an area where we are going to be designing exactly that, a split level off the first with a walk out basement below. Don’t seem to be able to do that with this software. It makes viewing elevation profiles meaningless. Perhaps I’m missing something here and if so would be nice to hear from the developer. Way too much effort put in on small nuances such as lots of door designs, furniture, etc. The layout and elevations are the big starting point. The rest is meaningless without those..Version: 4.1.1
✓ Good......but....I have had the cheaper version of this app for ages and love it, so though buying this upgraded version would be out of this world....wrong! You can’t add roofs, additional decoration, etc. Yes the furniture and architectural stuff is lovely, but that’s it. Please don’t waste £8.99 like I did, I’m back to my good old home design 3D cheaper version..Version: 4.4.2
✓ What happened?I am a professional designer and think this app is great for creating quick basic walk-thrus. Unfortunately I am unable to use the app now, due to a recent update that makes changing the color of textures literally impossible. It was so easy before, the picker allowed you to preview an object in all available colors, which would then be accurately displayed on the plan once selected. Now the only option is a pipette that forces use of standard color pickers, does not show a preview of the item in that color, and once selected represents completely differently on the the plan (for example, what looks like a light green selection will represent as bright fluorescent green on plan). Why on earth was this changed from an efficient working system to one that is completely unusable? Please correct immediately or I will have to use a different program from now on!.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Glitchy but fun.This app is pretty glitchy but i still have been able to design many homes for fun and have still been able to get around them. I wish there were some more things though. Such as: having multiples levels on the same floor, like having the dining room risen by 2 steps because I sometimes design rooms based off of actual ones. Also, i like to design tiny homes, and I wish there was the ability to make lofts. Or!! A SUPER EASY ONE THAT WOULD MAKE THIS APP SO MUCH MORE AMAZING is if they added the ability to change the altitude of ALL objects. So i could make my own “loft” by just rising a bed, shelves, and a flat square (from geometries section) to make boom a loft. I also really love some of the shelf designs but they can only go on the floor! And i want them on the wall!! Also that would enable us to actually PUT things on the desks and tables likes plants and other decor....Version: 4.3.1
✓ Overall pleasedIt’s straight forward to use, had issues bringing in a block plan where the scale wouldn’t validate, other than that really easy to pick up the hang of things. £8.99 should include extra items than just extra floors, better yet an ability to import or customise your own designs for objects such as doors, arches etc. My biggest gripe is with the way stairs are included is a bit clunky. It needs more configuration options so that you can visualise how floors link together. Well that and my other issue is not being able to lock an underlying drawing imaged used for reference and the snapping of walls sub 20cm when snapping is disabled..Version: 4.3
✓ Unable to operateI can’t get it up and going and after 3 help “tickets” I got a reply in another language and needed to create an account in another app to access it. Not impressed..Version: 4.6
✓ Always brokenThis is a great app when it works. Trouble is, it seldom works. It's been plagued with bugs for almost a year now that render it almost completely useless. My advice is - don't waste your money on this.Version: 2.7.1
✓ ProblèmeJ’ai acheté la version payante, puis en créant un design, l’appli m’a demandé d’acheter un item dont j’avais besoin…finalement, j’ai payé deux fois la version payante!? Remboursement?.Version: 5.1.1
✓ GlitchyI enjoy using the app but I find it glitchy and then it shuts down. It’s quite frustrating..Version: 4.5.3
✓ Can’t parse projectBe very wary of using the iOS app if you are creating your designs on the Mac/PC versions. After a recent iOS app update and viewing my project on the app and saving back an update I am now unable to open the project on my Mac and get a ‘Can’t parse project’ error. Support tell me that this is due to the software versions being out of sync and I have to just wait until the Mac version catches up… with no indication of how long this could be..Version: 4.5.2
✓ Keeps crashing :(I LOVE this app but it is still crashing even after update :( when it works it's a great game but it crashes whenever I go on 3D mode. It has been like this for a while so please fix it once and for all..Version: 2.7.1
✓ STEEP learning curveThis app is "ok" for getting a rough view of what you want your property layout to look like. BUT, be warned that there is a steep learning curve if you want to customize dimensions and be very accurate with your work. I spend more time trying to figure out simple adjustments than actually getting anything completed. Every little change seems to lead to another "how to" question. These guys need some serious help with documentation. What documentation exists is very inaccurate - totally useless. There aren't ANY good design/architecture products that exist (IMO). However, this is the least crappy of all of them. Everything becomes a royal pain to adjust, or customize. And, FORGET trying to find anything useful in the documentation. For the folks that say "Great Create-a-floor-plan App" - they must have LOW expectations. It just flat doesn't impress - it's just slightly better than the rest of the competition. BUT, for $5, what do you expect? I'm highly technical & feel like this product is years and $$$$ away from being truly "great". For the layman, non-technical user, I can see them tossing out 5 stars. For the educated, technical user - this is barely 2 stars. Buy & use at risk - you will likely be disappointed. I'm using this on an iPad Pro 12.9 4th generation..Version: 4.4.1
✓ Very Good Basic Home User / still lacking beyond that.I purchased the app after not getting a truly robust program with the outdoor gold version hoping that this would round out the program. And from a high level flyover it’s a nice app but when you get down to the details like a domed mulch 6’ circle surrounding trees or split coloring on a wall divided by a chair rail or stone backing behind a counter top stove while the rest of the back splash is tile, Well they are somewhat clunky to realize at best. The resolution of wall alignment jumps multiples of inches rather than single inch or inch fractions. Means deleting walls sometimes just to add them back to square a corner. Or building and adding additional objects (still trying to figure out if this is possible). But over all not a bad app/couple apps especially since I’m now 15 + dollars into it . Keep up the development guys it’s a good app..Version: 4.2.3
✓ New update is garbageI can no longer export my drawings to PDF Expert. This new version is not good and I wouldn’t complain if it was a free app but i paid good money for something that is now garbage. Fix this or provide me with a refund..Version: 5.0
✓ Not worth your moneyI spent $13 dollars on the game for it not to open, my friend brought it and it worked fine but for me it wouldn’t open and kept shutting down.Version: 4.1.1
✓ NOT HappyI recently upgraded from the free version because I enjoyed this app. I spent the 6 or 8 dollars and completed a room with the ability (because of the upgrade) to have access to more objects and textiles and colors. I could change my floor texture and color and same with furniture and chairs and tables. That is exactly what I wanted and paid for. Now I’ve come back after a week or so to finish another room I had started and suddenly the app looks different and there are more features... fine, but when I try to access what I paid for already it doesn’t work. I can no longer get different textures and colors which I already paid for. Apparently now I have to upgrade to the tune of $8.99 IN ORDER TO GET WHAT I ALREADY PAID FOR🤬! Very upset about this! I would give NO STARS if I could. This is a scam and a rip off!.Version: 4.3.1
✓ Pretty goodIt’s a really good way to design a house though it’s pretty basic. I’m trying to design some aviaries and it’s not really designed for what I want but it’s not bad..Version: 4.2.3
✓ AwfulI thought this would be a neat app however, all it does is crash and the app closes all by itself. No amount of resetting the app or device makes a difference. Definitely not worth the money paid..Version: 4.5.3
✓ IncompleteWhen adding an object to the software, you can specify dimensions of width and depth. You can edit the height, but without any dimensional feedback. You must do it in the 3-D view by eye only. There is no height dimension indicator. This means walkarounds in the 3-D view are approximate only. For instance, when specifying a window, it is possible to set the exact width and the exact distance from the floor to the bottom of the window, but not the window height! Emails about this to customer support increased my frustration. In addition to suggesting I consult the FAQ (which I had already done, of course) it would be advantageous to be able to speak French in order to understand the instructions for follow-up. (I mean actually, not metaphorically!) I’m personally sick of software companies that only provide automated answers in the first response to a technical issue. I wouldn’t be writing if the answers were so obvious! I can’t give a good review to a company that doesn’t mind wasting my time in this way..Version: 4.2.3
✓ Furnitures and decor are out of date.I wish there was a way to add roof and easier way to add second floor..Version: 4.4.2
✓ Great game but definitely needs an update!!Please please update absolutely everything in this game! We need more furniture, wallpapers, paint colours and decorations. HomeByMe is a free app and has way more options! Please do better it would be very appreciated!.Version: 4.6
✓ Ok softwareThe software works, but there are a number of deficiencies with the extras and how much you can adjust items.Version: 2.7.1
✓ HELP!! Please fix and updateOverall this is one of my favorite apps because it has so much to offer and it has so many objects to use for creativity. However, I think an update is needed that offers new staircases as not every house has the same staircase styles, it could also use more indoor and outdoor furniture to decorate. The reason I gave a low rating even though I LOVE this app is because lately it has not been letting me download other projects done by other people and it keeps saying that “internet connection is needed” even though I am connected to the internet. I even changed devices and the same thing happened. If this could please be fixed, I’m sure I would 100% enjoy it again. Thanks!.Version: 4.4.1
✓ Keeps crashingI bought this years ago and it used to work well, if limited. The updates have improved it but the latest update is so insanely buggy it crashes constantly. Not sure what they did, but they need to go back to last version..Version: 5.1
✓ Still lacking crucial featuresAfter having this app for over a year, there’s still some crucial features missing even with the gold version. Please add the roof feature! Seriously, what’s a house without a roof??? Need more variety of plants and furniture. There hasn’t been new items for ages. What’s the point of paying for the gold version if you don’t get new items every now and then... lastly, as many others have stated - make all items have the elevation option..Version: 4.3.4
✓ To many BugsAir drop doest work Deleted project come back after few minutes. Square feet not calculated properly. Should include all the walls, inside and outside walls. And other bugs.Version: 5.2
✓ Good start!Lacking some instructions, second floors/options with stairs, options to change room size without losing definition of room, etc..Version: 4.1.1
✓ Sort the price pleaseI love this app but the price for the gold plus is awful. I have already purchased the gold package, I have had it for a while. So the fact that I would have to pay £8.99 for 1 extra feature is ridiculous, I’m not saying it should be free but for people who have already bought the gold membership should only have to pay a maximum of £3.00..Version: 4.3.1
✓ DisappointingUpdated version: Can now do various levels, but suddenly can’t put doors in some walls with no explanation as to why not, can’t change doors from LH to RH so doors only seem to open one way. Still can’t default wall thickness, etc. walls seem to. Create themselves without rhyme or reason. I love the idea of this program, but videos do not appear to be duplicatable. So, still disappointing. Original Review: I bought this as an upgrade to the Freebie version. It offers very little more for the money. It still can't draw extra stories, can't control height on cabinets and walls, can't put doors in interior walls unless drawn as another room, which mostly disappears if you try. And worst of all, can't import projects from Freebie version (at least no information as to how, and definitely not obvious if it can). I would NOT recommend spending money on the upgrades, including the Gold version..Version: 4.3.2
✓ Annoyed... but still goodI previously bought the normal home design on another device and upgraded to gold so when I bought this I assumed that it would have the Same privileges. They have not upgraded this to the same level as the other as there is not as many objects! Textures, doors, joineries and you do not have the ability to create a multi storey building unlike the upgraded Apart from this I must say that this is a very well programmed app and is easy to understand and use. The textures and objects are very detailed and you are given the opportunities to not only effectively decorate the house, but you are also able to build and colour a range of products in the game..Version: 4.1.1
✓ Pretty good...Cool app with heaps of potential but could be a better help section and there's not really much tutorial help just have to figure it out as you go. Shifting walls is tricky once furniture is placed. Enjoyable still though.Version: 4.2.3
✓ Worked Well Now It Corrupts Itself.As Titled, ran just fine until this update, this is on iOS6 beta 4. Crash reports sent… Need more modern objects. Glass sliding doors, grouped matching objects, better categorising. Better import options for custom textures..Version: 1.5.9
✓ Go back to the old styleThe app crashes, the interface looks as if it has gone back in date! Can’t even load projects that have been done previously before. The joystick is the wrong position - if you are adding in objects etc you will need to close the pop up to move around. Not much new objects added in. As a fan of the app it is disappointing to see what has now happened to the app. What is needed is more objects such as cars etc..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Bought gold - demanded gold plusOk so I love this app from a design standpoint. It’s intuitive for playing around and building structures. HOWEVER, I bought gold a couple of years to get unlimited floors and it was perfect and worked — But now it’s 2021 and they’re demanding I get GOLD PLUS TO HAVE THE SAME FEATURES I ALREADY BOUGHT. If the developer is so pressed for cash then target the new market not people who already bought the app. So they added some new furniture and design objects? I didn’t upgrade the original because of those. I paid for the unlimited floors which defeats the point of paying more in the first place. Not to mention them updating design objects is a choice to give free to existing owners, not to take away content that’s been paid for. Modern day robbery..Version: 4.5.1
✓ Rip offAbsolutely scandalous that I have paid £12 for the iOS version yet this does not give me access on the Mac. This would incur a further £5 cost. Surely there can be some form of code/voucher applied which gives access across both platforms for the one cost? Alternatively lower the cost of both compatible versions to £5 each. At that price I would be willing to stump up for both!.Version: 4.2.3
✓ Bad iCloud supportI loose a lot of time and work because of a bad support of iCloud. The sync with the app on macos is the worst..Version: 4.4.2
✓ Inadequate to be used for any actual project.Great App to simply draw a room, add objects, and view it in 3D with no respect to real world scenario. All goes down hill from there if you really want to do any real world projects. Can’t locate objects you wanted because the library is very limited. You can’t fixed a dimension (such as a wall length) or an object. Objects snap at whatever it wants, not what you want. Moving a wall will move objects. So if you have everything laid out perfect (if you ever get there, especially with the glitches), by moving an object or a wall, you just changed a bunch of stuff. This App has no way of glueing or fixing items so that they don’t get change! Any good program should allow you to do it so you don’t have to take one step forward but three steps backward. Totally not useful for any real world application except being used as a game or to fill time when you have nothing to do. Did I mention about the glitches? For example, adding a wall, adding or moving an object, adding an architecture, or any activity for that matter, will deduct the square footage of your house. There’s nothing to tell you what caused it. To fix it, you have to start deleting walls a section at a time and rebuilding it. But that in itself causes more of the same so you are in trial and error loop until, hopefully, you don’t see the glitch anymore. Just a poor App for real world application..Version: 4.2.3
✓ Defective Plus version.Against my better judgement, I paid the extra for the plus version so I could get the roof option. After the upgrade, the app has now distributed rooms on a single story floor plan across multiple floors. This update has completely corrupted a project that has taken me ages to create. Seems roofs only work on new projects, not old ones created with an old version. On a single story floor plan, I now have 3 extra floors above it, each with rooms that should be on the ground level. In 2D mode, if I insert furniture on the ground floor, it goes to the imaginary 4th floor. I also have blinds sitting on the ground that cannot be raised to window height again, and all my custom colours have reverted back to default. In a new project, things get really interesting ..... windows and doors can be installed on east/west walls only when in 2D and some install halfway up the wall. The direction windows and doors open can no longer be changed in this version. Windows inserted on the ground floor install in an attic I never created. There’s no way to fix this, it’s a mess and it’s totally unusable. Really, really annoyed. This is the last straw, I’m looking for another app..Version: 4.5
✓ Why can’t I access all my drawingI just got this app for my Mac/Ipad/iPhone I can’t open any of my drawing from the home design app. It says I can’t open stuff from a new version. Why can’t all your apps work across a brood spectrum. I paid for all of your design apps you would think you could access everything across all apps. I have to change my rating from an original 5 star down to 3 and that’s being generous at this point. But I am sure you don’t care since you already have my money. Once you change the interface to access across all your apps I will change back to a 5 star rating. Also your home design 3D app needs some work with being able to add multiple floors and a roof system..Version: 4.1.1
✓ No customer carePaid for 'Gold' purchase through upgrade , then clicked refresh - software did not upgrade to gold edition. Tried re-installing . Got billed twice for the same. Emailed developers. No reply for more than a month. Apple App Store will not care and is not responsible - they say! Have complained to the bank and waiting. Lookout!.Version: 4.1.1
✓ Needs moreNeeds more items/stuff. I love designing my own house, but I does need more items, and an option to make a split level. Or to raise the floor.. Here a list of things that I think it needs more of Kid lockers, better windows and doors. More children items. More bathroom items like different showers. (Open) needs more desk/office stuff too. I upgraded because you said it had more..Version: 4.4.2
✓ More development neededCan’t manually adjust thing or type lengths very restricting but good for draft basics.Version: 4.4.2
✓ Ruined by version 4.4 "upgrade”This app’s never been great but it was at least useful for visualising things so long as you had way too many hours to dedicate to forcing the software to do basic things. This current upgrade though has rendered it useless. Trying to do the most basic task is now impossible. You can’t select rooms, can’t adjust wall heights, and navigation is like a carnival ride. It still has the biggest problem as always in that the objects and architectural features available are so limited and only include the most basic styles. Still no way to create your own windows or doors or import them from manufacturers. Still can’t change the direction of textures on ceilings or floors. No iron railings, no balconies. And for sure, no 1600 objects as advertised (more like 2-300 and most of those look like cheap IKEA garbage)..Version: 4.4.2
✓ Good and bad....The ability to build the rooms is good but the selection of items to furnish your creation is so poor making the end result pretty pointless. Why not introduce real Ikea items for example. The kitchen selection is a joke. Seriously. Also some of the functionality is hit and miss. Trying to get the floor changed in one of my rooms for example just doesn’t seem to work. I can put parquet flooring on the walls apparently, but not on the floor! For £11 I expected a whole lot more :(.Version: 4.2.3
✓ Wall thicknessIt would be appreciated if the default wall thickness could be varied as in New Zealand the wall thickness is referred to as 90mm for wood framing and the 10 x 2 sheets of plaster (Gibraltar board)(gib board) at 10mm each total 110mm, then if two floor levels different again...Version: 2.1
✓ Here you goIt is such a fun game to play definitely recommend it but it would be good if you could have an upstairs. And teenager bedroom things.Version: 4.0.7
✓ It's corrupted :(I love this program but, I used it for 3 days and now it won't open :(. I also can't find anything to help me fix this problem. Any ideas??.Version: 1.5.9
✓ Uncomfortable !!!!!Years I was using this app and was very easy for me now it become terrible will look something els !.Version: 4.3.4
