Home Design 3d Gold App Reviews

Very disappointed that a house design program does not support…… having a roof on your design.

The app has shut down many times and frozen. Also you cant select flooring for a designated space it covers the entire area. its missing some important features, but it is a good start.

Guys this App is very good but you still need to include lots of features, where can I send you my recomendations so you can include all the features missing?

it works but it dosent do evry thing i wish but i do recomend it

Going into a new home and wanted to lay out furtniture and visualize two re-do’s of bathrooms. This is NOT user friendly. I stumbled around all over it, and it was too weird.

Good for the price

They used to be compatable but now that my iOS apps have updated the .HD3D files have been converted to the new version apparently and I can now longer open them on my Mac app. I get "ERROR - Can't parse project"

About 2 months ago the graphics changed drastically on the 3D view. They are really ameatuer and basic with hardly any detail. I’ve used this program for years and they definitely changed suddenly. Any suggestions? I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling it.

1) When I try to draw a room that's 15' by 12' it is extremely difficult because it jumps between 11'11" and 12'2". I have to zoom waaaaay in to be able to make it 12' exactly. 2) When I then drag the room to where I want it, IT CHANGES THE ROOM SIZE AND SHAPE to some arbitrary shape that I didn't want. There is no way to fix it. 3) There are several white control points on one of my walls that I DID NOT PUT THERE, but the software will not allow me to remove (I can add them using the angle tool but I cannot remove them). 4) The random white control points are what the room size jumps to when I drag it to the corner where I want it (or if I try and draw the room in place). 5) There is no way to type in the dimensions you want. Dragging is the only way. 6) The help is totally useless on all these problems. It just takes you to a series of videos that show how the software THEORETICALLY works assuming no bugs. There is no help forum or email address. Nothing. Don't waste your money on this garbage. I sure wish I could get a refund.

As another review said - trying to use this on a Mac is horrendous. Good luck trying to render a loft. The “openings” function with ceiling height make no fkcg sense. This is the most frustrating experience and waste of money I’ve ever gotten out of the App Store. The objects don’t even include a shower/bathtub combo. Is that a rare thing? It’s not. How is it there isn’t one available? Trying to see your room names? Can’t. Because the drag and drop handle is situated DIRECTLY ON TOP OF EVERY ONE OF THEM. Horrible design for a supposed design app. If the iPad experience is better, I won’t be trying to find out.

I wanted this for designing a detached garage/pole barn. It does a great job on floor plans and determining the details associated with the floor plan. I don’t see how to build a roof to make the building seem complete. That is my big complaint, but again it was 9.99 so it did what I was after.

There is so much wrong with this App, it would take an hour to write a proper review (and I’ve used it for only 2). It doesn’t let you preset wall depth, you have to adjust it AFTER you’ve drawn it. The bath tub is 6 ft., when a standard tub is 5. The doors are also the wrong sizes. Nothing about this works well. Makes me think I should go into App development. There doesn’t seem to be any competition.

I needed an inexpensive program to layout rough ideas for a bathroom remodel for discussion with potential contractors. This app was fairly easy for me to build the basic bathroom and play with various design ideas. Convenient 3D clip art provides many objects, architectural elements and textures that make it possible to quickly experiment with different versions. There are links to videos to learn how to use the app. I gave it five stars because I felt that it provided lots of capabilities for very low cost. That said, I would like to see improvements such as more flexibility in sizing objects in lengths, widths, and depths. I would have preferred using inches, instead of feet and inches. I found that many more objects were needed. It would would have been great to have more electrical, lighting and plumping fixtures and more textures such as transparent, frosted and pattern glass. And a basic open-cube shape would have have been nice for designing shelving inset into a wall. I would have paid a little extra for more objects and textures. Also, it would be helpful if objects could be edited. For example, it would be nice to remove or move items within objects that contain multiple objects. But perhaps, that would be a much more expensive app. I have had fun using this app. Thanks!

Poor app…….Does nothing for me does not work do not buy

This program might help people come up with very rudimentary designs. There are many things I don’t like about it. I have a tri-level home. Levels of my house aren’t stacked one on top of the other. It would be impossible to design such a home with this program. It can be well used for simpler room designs though. I will just create the space I want to add on to my house in one section. I don’t like that I can’t specifically designate the length of walls, doors, and other architecture. Instead you have to drag to the length you want and it’s almost impossible to get it exact. Sorta lame. With some updates I hope that this program will go from basic to much better.

Its so awesome you can find any perfect furniture and readjust the furniture.

This app does not work on Mac. At all. You can draw a room on one section of the screen, but cannot edit it at all. You can't move things, you can't do anything. The app is entirely broken, I’ll be requesting a refund.

You are not told this is a limited version

Looks like it could be a cool application, but wow it is not set up to work on a macbook pro.

I have found this program very easy to use and in no time I feel like I am proficient. And the price is great for what it does.

This is a really great value but it needs 2 upgrades: 1. A way to type in the dimensions for a room instead of trying to drag it with your finger. 2. A way to draw a room, lock the dimentsions and then rotate the room. These 2 enhancements would make Home Design 3D Rule all other 3D home design apps (in the $10-$15 range)!!!!!

I had completed an entire reno program, approximately 12 hrs spent, and can’t open the app. Each time I try to open it the app quits I hope my effort isn’t wasted and all is lost…..FRUSTRATING

This is actually a really fun app to use. I'm not good with "dimensions," but my nephew set it up for me (I'm remodeling ONE room, so only needede one room) and from there I was able to everything I needed. My contractor was even impressed when I showed him the new kitchen! I wish I could upload my own photos, and I wish there were more "objects," (for instance, there is no window seat, so I had to make it out of a couch with no storage underneath), but overall an easy to use product and gave me exactly what I needed.

Whomever designed this program knows nothing about how to build a floorpan or home design application.

After buying two different 3D sketching tools and trying all the other “free” ones, I came accross this gem. Very satisfied with the customization and with the measurement displays for everything from living spaces to objects.

It’s a fun app to use but is difficult to learn and is very touchey. Wish they had a wider selection of home items and decking as well.

5 stars. Does just what it says and exactly what I need it for. I was an electrical drafter for 5 years on autoCAD and this is great and a quick, easy way to get a good looking floorplan together. It may be missing some tiny things, but nothing to even note. it also works great, no glitches. 5 stars. buy this with no worries.

The learning curve is reasonably short. It’s fun to see how deatailed you can make something and the Instructions/Help files are very nice! Very professional looking. Although I am glad I bought the software, I found that sometimes it “loaded up” on me and became unresponsive. I have a fairly strong Mac ( 27”iMac/3.5Ghz Core i7/Fusion Drive/32GB RAM). I was suprised to se that happen, but overall, I would buy this software again. It’s a keeper.

Great app. Never thourt i can design homes. with this app you going to be a Prp home designer. Love it ;)

I like this app and it was working but all of a suddent upon opening it gives error message of unexpectedly quitting. I have Mac OS-X 10.10. I really need to use this app and hoping the app owners can look into this or provide some guidance. I have re-installed this app a few times.

Since the most recent update, I am not able to access the 3D view or the aerial view. I have been corresponding with Home Design 3D Gold Support for 3 weeks - response is slow and not helpful. Very unsatisfactory.

I have used other home design programs (first was HGTV HOME DESIGN) and thought I would try this one. I have spent so many hours trying to maneuver around the kinks and issues with this program, it’s praxctically useless. Random floors are appearing, I cannot change walls without deleting entire levels, I will place a bed and it will appear on a different floor. It has proven to be utterly USELESS and having looked online, there is simply NOT ENOUGH SUPPORT to make this worth the price.

absolutely love this app! began by using it on iPad and now can't put it down now that it's on laptop!! defientely recommend :)

The software on the desktop a waste of my money since I couldn’t import a drawing from my iPad without it being destroyed by the desktop version of the software. I am left with a dud program that only works on my iPad and can’t export drawings to any other CAD drawing program. I would have been better off buying a copy of a low cost CAD and wasting less money on this software. No-one seem to care to solve the problem at hand and design something less frustrating. By the way, when I decided to get your iPad version was because I wanted to share something with family and friends that have no clue on how to use CAD programs and it did look nice on the iPad except for the fact that you don’t get to have measurements and that it doesn’t talk to your desktop in a way that import export works.

My need was to design a small cottage. It is one floor, one bedroom, open living and kitchen. I can’t adjust a wall to be exactly 6’. It is either or 5’5” or 6’4". The same with everything else. You can’t get specific sizes for walls, windows, cabinets. It is nice if you want a “general look”, but it isn’t good enough for me. I’m using a Macbook. I found a different free program that does what I need to do.
