I am working on plans for a home build and have toyed with several other programs. Homestyler seems to be the most useful and easiest so far. I was able to upload my current plans and it did great recreating on top of those. I have had to move some walls, ect, but this site has been super helpful with bringing a 2D architechual drawings to life. I went ahead and purchased a month to month pro plan to test it out and it has everything i need so far for the interrior. I am hoping it will be useful for the exterior as well, but not a big deal if not. Took one star off because I wanted to work on the plans from my iPad, and all it will do is upload the current picture of what i have in a 3D visual. But there is no where to make edits or do anything else. I guess this is also used as a game and that is what the app seems to look like it is built for. I also tried the web version from my iPad, and it will only allow controls from the touch pad, but not the touch screen.

I was addicted to this game a little over a year ago. I had come in second and third in some challenges and got inundated with bots, which was a huge turn-off. Then more and more the app crashed and did not save work which I did go through steps to save. There was no was to mark products I really liked and the codes for many things were ridiculously long combinations of numbers and letters, and they did not show up in obvious key-word searches. So I walked away.I wanted to see if things have improved and they seem worse than before. All the same issues as previously stated but now the challenges force participants to use the same rooms over and over, while using a fraction of objects from the catalog. No longer can one choose paint color or whatever. The customer now has to place objects in pre-assigned placements. Some of the choices are programmed either too tiny proportion to everything else or too large. Objects overlap sometimes and what could be good design is unable to work. They may throw in a new room or object for the challenges but not nearly as much as would make for real interesting creativity. It went from being total freedom to total restriction. It’s better than many interior design games but many of these issues seems to be a product of apathetic developers in my estimation.

Update. Mind blowing dysfunction now omg. Beyond words disappointed and finished designing in this now. Being a webmaster and designer of many things including apps and widgets this app is no longer good. They took a well functioning app and made it NOT function! Way to ruin designers! ………..I am a featured designer on this app. I have 250 designs on here. I’m also artist and webmaster with a keen eye for quality. Although there are things i like about the app there are thing I don’t like. The people and animals are blurry, and cartoonish. The items to put in a room are distorted and also blurry. I’m very fast and precise on all placement of all objects but there are many variables that get in the way forcing you to alter and resize things. Also many of the rooms have to be sized properly before you attempt to use them. Some are so bad. Some items ate also microscopic when adding them to a design. I use this app all the time regardless of my frustrations. I am a webmaster and i design apps, widgets, custom content and art and what i find is a lot of things wrong that can be easily fixed. Chances are i can likely fix all these issues. Anyway i will continue to use the app and update accordingly.

I've been using Homestyler off and on for over three years. I used their website more often in the past because it was so professional. However, this year, their app has seen a ton of new features added. Now, you can upload a floor plan, and it will generate a 3D model of the room. After that, you can design right on your phone, almost like building with Lego bricks. It's really powerful! This app has come a long way, and I'm impressed with how much more convenient it's become. Whether you're a professional designer or just someone redecorating their home, I highly recommend giving it a try.
