Lighting Designer

There is so much to like about this app. The. Layout, user interface, simplicity of design. I’ve used it for over 5 years on and off, and I would use it more but it crashes too often for me to trust it for all my work. If it were more stable I would use it on every job.

I’ve used the app on and off for a few years. Unfortunately each time I give it a shot the crashes and frozen screens put me off and a number of times, I resorted back to hand-drawn lighting diagrams rather than dealing with the issues of this app. While it offers so many possibilities, I’d love for it to be more stable.

This App could really be fantastic, there’s a lot of useful features and I found it reasonably simple to work out. The crashing gets ridiculous though. Once I’d reached a certain point in putting together quite a simple plan, it started closing itself down literally every five minutes. The result is that it’s really too slow to be of much use, even on an ipad pro with pencil.

This app could be great if it didn’t crash as often and I would love to be able to import scale drawings and just have to add the lighting also the ability to use it on my Mac as well as my iPad would make it amassing

Running on a iPad Pro, latest OS. Crashes all the time, awful. Feel robbed.

This IS a great app and app idea. There is some intuitiveness to it although without a user guide accessible on iPhone (it’s there just a blank screen though) within the app you already have to have some familiarity with draft and design. The price tag is not justifiable due to crashes as I can’t even generate a test plot without losing my mind! Maybe it’s better on iPad but if I had an Ipad out I may as well have had a computer out and plotted that way.

This app seems ok but the crashes are not helpful and the interface isn’t as intuitive as I’d hoped for. It’s quite expensive for an app that keeps crashing all the time. I gave it 3 stars because if it worked without crashing it’d be very good.

This has helped me plan projects fairly swiftly, and distribute to crew. The rendering of plans can sometimes confuse and overlap vital info like lamps which makes it hard to read. It can crash randomly, but never really lost anything I had done. So pretty good, all in all. Would love to see improvements for it to become more useful. Please add underwater lamps!

Update: The developer has now introduced the ability to share plot files which is very useful! The developer is clearly very dedicated to the app's development and is very happy to take onboard suggestions from users. As long as the developer continues to work on developing features and stability then it will continue to be a vital tool. --------------------------- Previous: Easy to use, even if a little buggy on my iPhone! One feature I would like to see is the ability to email plots so the can be opened in LD on another device! Overall gives a nice plan though!!
