DrawPlan 4+

Overall, I’m enjoying this app. Just two simple things would make it better, in my opinion.

1. If I accidentally leave a “dot” on the plan, it is nearly impossible to eliminate it.

2. The “Save Changes” feature is glitchy to say the least. If I don’t save a photo of my completed plan, it almost never is possible to return to the plan as I saved it. And I have an updated iPad Pro.

My name is Elijah, and I’m 11 1/2 years old. My dream is to become an expert architect, so I downloaded this app on my tablet and instantly loved it. So far I’ve made 8 floor plans, and my favorite one I did was design #6, which was a “tiny but mighty” (as I like to call it) 3 bedroom 1 bath apartment. Now the reason I put 4 stars instead of 5 is because after I finished my first floor plan and named it, I turned off my tablet. 30 minutes later, I turned on the tablet to show my mom but it wasn’t there! I was so sad 😭. Before I started my next floor plan, my mom told me to take a screen shot when you are done just in case it goes away. I recommend you do the same before you turn off your device. Who knows, you might even build it some day 😊! Take care!

This was a free download that allowed me to start creating a plan immediately. I assumed it would eventually make me purchase a subscription to access more features. That’s expected and doesn’t bother me. What it ACTUALLY did was allow me to spend 45 minutes creating a floor plan for the house I’m about to buy, allow me to save it, and THEN restrict me from even VIEWING it until I purchase the subscription. Um, EXCUSE ME?!?! You’re not even going to let me view what I just spent 45 minutes creating?!? Ridiculous. I deleted it immediately. It’s a shame because it was pretty easy to use for what I needed. Not too complicated and had all the windows, fixtures, etc. The zoom feature needs some work and I would have liked an option to only draw on grid lines. Otherwise, very user friendly until it screwed me over.
