Home Design 3D Outdoor/Garden for Android
They give you one prebuilt file of a home to work with. Junk..
Needs more furniture options and adjustable creator size. My lot is 100ft x 430ft so I cannot recreate my space fully
The free version is useless. You can't even save just one design. There are many alternatives that are much easier to use too.
This is more a demo than useful software. I'm sure the full version is the sh** but this version is pointless.
This app is the closest to what I've been looking for in a landscape and garden planner; however it has some serious flaws. My problems with it are as follows: 1) while the app may take some getting used to, it is very difficult to navigate between zooming and panning. Part of tat may be that I am on a mobile device though. 2) I was unable to find any sort of GAQ or further tutorials for basic things such as adding a roof to a building... which leads me to number 3: 3) While I enjoy using this app, there are very few basic things to work with. And you can't even save *one* project. Not one. And I think 4.99 is a little steep given the lack of support provided. I don't want to have to email support every time I have. Basic question.
As a teen I used the Sims program to build houses and gardens. I now have my own garden to plan and, while this sims is not to scale, this app is. Very easy to use, set scales, really gives you a good idea of your space if you have your measurments. I've even gotten some new ideas!
Get options for awnings but can't put in a deck. Paid for the upgraded version and can't do much more than the free version. Waste of money. I'd have been better off drawing on paper.
I have been saving up forever thru a survey app so I could buy this app. I'm so excited!! As an old AutoCAD & Solidworks nerd, I am extremely gratified by this app. I will use it to map my garden and much more. I originally gave it a 5 but after mess I,g with it for a few minutes I have seen that it is extremely limited and not nearly enough items. I gave you a 3 in hopes that you will expand your inventory and add elevation and address other complaints from your reviews. Thank you! Please add shih tzu dogs, pugs, weeping willow, irisis vines, just add a lot more options in every category!! Could be a very cool app. Needs work :)
Good app..not a massive selection of plants but it's useful for the semi-pro or student designer. There's no option to print or send your design though..you can only see the plan by opening the app
This is a cool app, except for the fact that you can't even make your own design. You have to work with what is already there, or buy the full version. Honestly a waste of space.
Upon installing, it prompted me to purchase the upgraded version without even allowing me to use this one I just installed. It had an option to select yes or no for the upgrade it the "no" button doesn't work. Uninstalling now.
It costs way to much for the full version and everything is locked including the ability to start from scratch. You can't save anything and there's an ad every second I would rate 5 stars if everything was unlocked
Not sure how this app received so many 5* reviews but without buying the premium, you cannot save or create a new project. I'll be looking elsewhere for a design program.
Not useful for those wanting to actually design I purchased the premium version in hopes it would be more professional or add more useful features. It didn't. It merely removed ads and let you save. There are only 33 plants/trees and they represent various biomes which means at most, any actual homeowner can realistically use a dozen or so. This is a absolutely horrible. In addition, it does not support curved land areas nor does it support ground covers. It does not support elevations or multiple floors. I am looking for an app to help me design my actual yard. This app is more of a toy than an actual tool for designing. It is severely limited in its capabilities. This app is not intended for the serious minded individual looking to design but for the casual gamer or artist who want to pretend and not have their creation represent reality.
Demo, not trial... No point in having ads if you can't create or save a new project. Only able to "play" with 3 pre-made projects. No grading or elevation feautures. Money grab.
You can't save one design without paying for the app. Why should you waste your time downloading just to be told that you can't do anything with the app without purchasing? It should state that upfront.
Terrible. What kind of garden design does not contain lawn or patio objects? Also, you can't save anything unless you pay for it.
Complete Waste of time, it was very easy to use but I had a full project completed and while putting the finishing touches the app crashed and now all my hard work is gone. Disaster.
You can only use their blueprints unless you buy. I would have bought the app if they had been upfront about it. Hate dishonesty!!
This is a good designing game, there are a few things that would make it much better though... It would be great if you were able to design your home in the same app i find it a little annoying that i have to leave my house emety or i have to decorate with out door objects (please combine outdoor with indoor in one app)
Can't really do anything useful unless you upgrade. While $5 for a piece of software isn't bad, judging by the other reviews it won't help much. I should have read the reviews first. It seems to have potential though.
You have to buy the full version to use the app at all. You can't create a new project or save anything without buying the full version. Kind of bs that you can't even test it out first to see if you even want to use it, but has some cool features from what I can tell without having been able to do anything in it yet. I like being able to create 3d models off my phone. It's a good idea, just let people try it out first before having to pay for it.
Very basic yard designer. Cannot save unless you purchase the premium version. Can only use their objects and cannot free hand draw. The 'landscaping' is limited to placing trees, pools or furniture. Cannot adjust elevations, ground covers, or shapes (xpt square or rectangle).
Insufficient Demo This demo app doesn't allow you to try it out enough to see if you might like to buy it. Ok, you can't save, but let me at least open a new project, then if I'm able to create something worth saving, make me fork up the cash.
Why is there no zoom in this? It appears you are stuck with 1 inch of land equaling 20 feet... Trying to make a visual landscaping design for a yard that's 38 1/2 ft by about 24ft....that is tiny on this app.
If publishing free, at least there should be a way of saving one project. I understand paid version must come with tons of more options but... In my case only saved the name, the whole project is gone. 3 hours completely lost!
Do not buy this app. I foolishly did. It's cumbersome to operate and you can't do much to the landscape, like there's no way to build a deck. Useless without that to me. I'd really like to get my money back
I paid but it isn't worth it. It's very basic and you can't add your own items or adjust elevation. I've used it for 5 minutes and that's it! I also can't get a refund because it was an in app purchase. Google doesn't refund those...
Demo Version is too limited. Would be better if number of objects or advanced features were limited instead of preventing creation and save of simple plans. Even time limit would be better.
Not applicable for actual landscape inspiration or planning. Not many options even if I did pay for them. Not intuitively functional. Will be deleting app.
Have spent few hours, didn't realise my battery gone, phone swiched off, never get my projekt back, have to play again... no save for free version
It wont let you to save even a small project. That demo will let you create a not bad small proj but you wont be able to export or even save it. Edition is not always so intuition friendly but after a while you get use to.
Very helpful! Being able to break down each area into its own project is perfect. Do request terrain was more involved, considering we have a 2-story on a slope.
Difficult to get started for a simple project, but looks very powerful. Hard to exit, it took over system and hid back button.
Easy to use. Periodically freezes and have to force close and reboot. Auto saves as I go. Worth the $5 to save my work
Good app but hate being forced to purchase it to save or print my project. Felt like I was baited.
Bought the full version.App appeared to be OK but froze. Had to uninstall and reinstall. App wanted me to pay again. Emailed company. NO REPLY X 5 Clearly Don to care about customer base
Fun & Creative game. Can spend hours playing. Only downfall is the inability to save your game play unless you purchase the full version of the game
Looking for a deck design, not this home design.. also no save feature. Nearly worthless
by X####:
When you zoom the measurements need to also be enlarged. Basic need. Next when using fencing it is a pain to align. When connecting pieces of fence or ANYTHING the measurement needs to include both the piece and the added piece. Mismatch pieces need to do the same when connected. Make it a toggle option. Need 4x4 timber in 6ft, 8ft 10ft, and 12ft lengths and can be used in any position. Also need plywood 4x4 and 4x8 used in any position. Allow one save or allow pictures to be made and saved as jpegs. Asking to buy the premium version BEFORE I can make my project, or show it to anyone kinds screams REDFLAG. It is a decent program, I almost bought it and realize I only need it for one project. Needs fence posts wood and metal. Has the potential to be a good little app.
