It pains me to make this admission but, as a loyal user of a rival app for several years, Live Home 3D makes the other app look like an old Atari game. It is the most exquisite interior design app I've ever used in my life. The graphics look hyper-realistic; the metal, glass and reflective textures are mind-blowing, particularly since the V4 update; the sunlight is beautiful and the change in ambience when you alter the environment from day to night is incredible. The option to modify the light settings of light fixtures takes the experience to another level. I love the app so much, in fact, that I purchased a brand new iPad for the sole purpose of using this app, just to enhance my experience. My old iPad was smaller and didn't have as much storage as I would like, which meant the app kept crashing. Constantly. On the very rare occasion it crashes now, it's from my own doing. I tend to keep the app on in the background overnight, then I use the app practically every day and I think it needs to be closed down manually on a regular basis. I did not give this app five stars because unfortunately it doesn't seem to handle too many lights being on (even after the maximum number of lights on at one time was reduced from 32 to 20 with the V4 update), which can make moving through a project in 3D mode very sluggish, as can importing items with too much definition and detail. This is all such a shame as I like to move through a project in all its glory without having to resort to the 'Decrease quality' option or turning off lights and reflections, both of which defeat the purpose of this magnificent app. The developers have done an absolutely phenomenal job in creating such a stunning app, but if a solution could be created to enable users to explore projects in detail without import quality restrictions and if the nearest lighting allowance was restored to 32 in order to accommodate things like spotlights, this app would be absolutely perfect. Maybe it's for the best to leave it as it is though; I'd probably never leave my house otherwise.

The game is good and in my case I love to decorate houses which is why I downloaded the app but this is a big big but the game while playing takes you out you may be wondering what am I on about well let me tell you so when you are playing you cannot look at the blueprints then switch to walking around the house because it takes you out of the game I found this very very annoying and also you cannot look at the blueprints for the second floor or the third which then again it’s annoying and another thing that is annoying is that when you are walking around the house and you select an item you cannot turn it round without going on the blueprints so therefore it is hard to decorate the house because you have to keep switching from something to the other and when you do that it takes you out of the game and I think this is because you need a lot a lot of storage space and in my case it is limited so not very recommended

After playing around with Live Home 3D for a couple of hours, I started to get the hang of the phone interface. The AR feature is pretty good.You do feel like you’re doing a lot to get basic features to function sometimes, but I guess that’s the limitation of using a phone screen. Not sure how to select a wall instead of the whole room for example, just persistently random single tap, double tap, eventually does the job.The ability to precisely adjust wall lengths, by entering values makes things easier, thanks to the developer for pointing out how that is done, and the way it brings joined wall lengths along with it is pretty good. There are a few glitches here and there. When searching furniture, the keyboard pretty much obscured the models. You need to select what you can see of one of the items, move it a bit and the keyboard retracts, allowing you to scroll through the models.It would be good if it indicated which side the wall thickness will be adjusted, on the actual plans. It depends on which way up the line is.Importing lhzd models, I’ve not quite mastered yet and It would be good if it was possible to open doors in AR mode, not sure if that’s possible, but overall a pretty good app.

I really like this app and the things you can use it for are very broad it’s surprisingly easy to use and simple the only thing is without paying money you can only make one house I would really like it if it would be a bit clearer more obvious if you’re about to delete something after I accidentally tried to save something and then deleted it was very annoying also they push you to pay especially if you need to do more advanced houses with 3 or more floors. As said the app is easy and simple but if you want you make more advanced you have to pay. I recommend it especially to interior designers and architects who are willing to pay the 10- 20 pounds
