Doesn't work on mobile: Stick to their desktop version online. On mobile, I select a room and try to drag the corners to resize it but it only scrolls the page, doesn't resize them. Text is too small to read unless I zoom in too close to be useful. Most items are locked behind a paywall and those that aren't require you to watch an ad to use. Which isn't the worst, but very frustrating and severely hamstrings trying to build anything.
Reviews for Planner 5D: Home Design, Decor
← Back to Planner 5D: Home Design, DecorPositioning things takes forever, it's very clunky. You cannot change the size of things, at least not right away. Most of the design options are locked, so you can only use the most basic appliances, limiting your designs greatly. If you do accidentally click on something and change its size (happens A LOT), there's a pop-up message that you have to exit out of; gets annoying. I played for 3 hours and only got the floor plan, some doors and windows, and a very limited kitchen done.
I subscribed to this app to find out renders cost extra in addition to the subscription. The AI moves walls, removes windows, adds windows, makes things that are not real, etc. all without asking it to do so. It has a mind of its own and not in a good way. After an hour of my subscription, I wanted out. One of the reasons I signed up was because they advertised 14 day money back no questions asked. They refused to refund or work with me in any way.
Too many micro-transaction pop-ups. Be careful with rendering, you only have so many, and then you cannot delete ones you don't like. You can only "archive" them. But don't worry, they got your back and will keep them in the archive in case you ever need those ones you don't want again. They'll micro-transaction this too. The program is not easy to use. There are not enough options for common-cheap items. Default settings are cannot be personalized to be different.
The graphics are cool, but it lacks in design tools. The ability to rotate a room seems necessary. Currently you have to move all the corners around, but then there's no option to tell what angles the corners are. So it takes 20xs longer to design a room that doesn't fit in the preset options. You also can't delete a corner, which is a real bummer if you've spent the 20xs to move a room and accidentally click the add a corner option. It's a cool app, but definitely lacks... even if you've paid.
Holy WOW, the developers did an amazing job on this app! The graphics are incredible. I love that use of items is unlimited, and there aren't ads or puzzles like ALL other design apps. Only cons: 1. It's confusing to learn. It took me like 30min to learn how it works (but it was worth it). 2. I wish there was a tool for centering something, like a window on a wall for example. 3. Lose the freemium s***... it isn't cool anymore. Just charge like $5 to buy the game, then have all items be free.
This has great potential but falls very short of what can be actually done. Half the time if I want to change the color of the flooring, for example, the editing button on the top bar doesn't show up. I have to add multiple "new rooms" only to delete them immediately, or find some other weird way to get the editing buttons to show. It also extends to trying to flip something a different way. I was really excited about this but I regret spending even $2.99 on it.
The free version is aweful. I can't even adjust door sizes too much without hitting a pay wall. Can't change the direction of where the door swings. it can't change the size of the showers or add walls inside of a room. The design is just awful. I would recommend floor 0lan creator. Tye 3D mode isn't as good, but it's free and much easier to use than this trash. I'm honestly mad that I just spent 30 minutes trying to get this app to just make a single room.
It's a good design app, but it could be 5 stars if they would add portrait mode. It's difficult to use on an Android phone in landscape mode, which is truly a bummer since I paid for the full version. And speaking of paid versions, it would be nice if the fee would cover other platforms. Since it only works in landscape mode, it would be great on a larger display like a desktop pc, but in order to use it on windows, they want me to pay AGAIN for the windows version! SUPER LAME!
Free version is horrible. Limited choices. Long ads for every single item. While I understand what a subscription is & how it works, the free version is a complete time sucker. An ad for every single item placed is too much, it takes too long to do anything. Most items still remain locked so it's an even bigger bummer. The paid version is probably fine. If you aren't a professional that will use this often enough to pay, use another app, one that has a USABLE free version.
Searched for free app to help me design my backyard- says its free, installs for free, can't start anything without picking a paid weekly plan or more if I want it longer. It's not a bad price ($6.99 for that week) and if I knew the app was one I liked and was going to use I'd pay it- but I was looking for free for a reason. I'm not starting my project til summer, I wanted some ideas and I'm willing to pay when the time comes, but not before.
The game was boring, and difficult to use. If u ever wanted to add furniture, you either had to watch a 20 second video, or buy a package to have all the furniture( which where stupid expensive). The forever package- $50! The monthly package-$20, and the week package was $5. Who in there right mind would pay $50 for 3d furniture. Not me. I'd rather spend my money on real furniture. Minecraft is way more helpful if your trying to design a room.
Just get Room Planner. So to have a decent product you need the free version to be usable. I love the immediate 24-hour all-access, but you still can't do basic things like resize doors/furniture, furniture doesn't snap to walls, and you can't see how far away things are, either. You can't manually enter wall size either so you have to drag it? This said, the subscription cost is very high. I do love the variety of furniture, but I can't use this app the way it is now. Lmk if you change it
I use this for creating settings for a webcomic. The "camera" takes a lot of getting used to, and this app has a lot of limitations, even with the paid access to the catalogue of items. Still, it's super powerful and one can do a lot with it. Hope more items can be added in the future. I highly recommend this app for comics creators.
I liked the smooth functions, but the subscription ad pops up literally every other time you touch the screen. I tried to adjust the width of a door, but the dumb subscription ad would pop up right after I adjusted it, so it reset the width every time. P.O.S. app. You might as well charge to download the app, as it is useless and nearly impossible to use as a free app. Waste of time. It would be a lot more usable if the pop up occurred every 5-10 minutes instead of every few seconds.
I got this app a few months ago and love it! It takes a little bit of time to understand the buttons and what most things do, but it's so fun!! I ended up purchasing the full catalog after 3 days of playing because I loved the freedom of creativity and how you can do nearly anything!! I LOVE THIS APP!! Oh andll my boyfriend had gotten a VR headset, and the VR walk through of the houses is so incredible!
Backwards app. I am looking for basic simple layout program to get an idea for building my home. All the BASIC items like refrigerators, stoves and washing machines require a subscription or watching an ad for 72 hour access. How is a jacuzzi tub free, but a standard bathtub requires a subscription?? Useless unless your are willing to pay for it. Common sense would say to give the basic stuff away for free and then once you love the app you're willing to pay for the upgraded items.
I don't have the premium, but I was still loving the app. Especially doing the contest layouts. Up untill the last contest with designing kitchen. Normally I have a wide range of things to choose from. This time I couldn't even make a whole kitchen look at least a little decent. I think during contest we should get more things to use. I understand that premium would get even more because they're paying for more.
I wish the walls could be recorded in just total inches viewable from the app, not automatically converted to feet. Also, when I put in exact values for walls, it skews to some decimal point or some random value and I need to keep putting in the exact value for it to stay. Also, if you get a "free" trial and attempt to change furniture dimensions, a popup screen for money will keep coming up and annoy you. What a hassle, but I guess that's how they make money.
This app is the best of its kind and I would have given 5 stars, but they never add new stuff to the catalog and that sucks. There are 0 sliding doors that go into the walls, minimal pool options, minimal decor, and when you resize things it looks ridiculous half the time (just for starters). I just wish that someone would put some time into this (and maybe a search bar for the catalog that works), if I am going to keep paying $40/year for an app.
