Home Design 3D - GOLD EDITION 4+

I am obsessed with this app. You can import a floor plan, build the plan, and walk through it 3D. Or you can build a floor plan from scratch. You can decorate it, and change the color and texture of everything to fit your decor style. This app has been especially valuable because some plans that I loved in 2D, don’t appeal to me when actually built in 3D. The app isn’t difficult to learn, but you do need to watch the short tutorials to learn how to create, edit, and decorate the plans.
I was having some trouble with my app, so I sent the designers a message on Facebook. They replied within 24 hrs, and have been great at responding to my questions. They also gave me their email address where to send my plan for their help on it. They seem to be actively working on improving their app. They are open to users’ constructive criticism and suggestions, so if you’re having difficulty on something, I would suggest contacting them directly to give them a chance to help. I have been designing my dream homes, so I hope this app is around for a long time!

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.

I love this app! It’s really great to see a house in 3D view and is the best app I have found for fun designing. But, there not enough options to make different types of houses. I think there should be roofs and an option for slanted ceiling. Also, a way for you to make basements without having to add fake ground with blocks. There should also be landscape options where you can pick a view and hills and mountains. There also needs to be more furniture. Much of the furniture for the living rooms and bedrooms are very basic and not normal looking. There’s not many options for, let’s say, a fluffy couch or more comfortable looking furniture in beds. Everything looks very stiff. And kitchen countertops and cabinets should also have more options. Another things is putting decorations on tables or putting blankets on couches and beds. There’s not many options for decorations which makes the house look very bland. The last couple things are to add crown molding as an option for the rooms and add half walls for a crown molding and the other half a colored wall. There’s also few options for textures and siding for the houses. Last thing is... more windows and doors!!! These are just some things I think need to be added to make this app a 5 star app. Otherwise, I love it and definitely recommend!!
