Facile

Ho realizzato il mio giardino facilmente.

Completely unusable

One9Six9 on

United States

App does not function. Made some pretty picture and slapped. Price tag on it. Absolutely worthless. Spent an hour trying to figure out how to use it, then all of the work disappeared. Pencil and graph paper will save you the heartache.

Can’t do anything worthwhile

United States

Can’t change rectangle aspect ratios. Can’t change house aspect ratios. Can’t import photo or use a map image (apply stays greyed out). Can’t change the size of the palette Too dumbed down to do anything useful..

Ok but could be better…

This app could be great but there are drawbacks. Simple things such as changing the size of the item makes it frustrating to design. An item’s size can change but not the width and length separately. For instance putting in a fence is immensely time consuming. Individual small fence sections must be added to create the appropriate length. And they don’t link to each other. Trying to get everything lined up is ridiculous. I would love it if you clicked on the item (ie: fence) and a box pops up that you could add the correct measurement and it automatically created the fence to the appropriate length. Along with having certain items link would make the design process more efficient. I would enjoy more options for items. In trying to put a garden bed in there was no brown option for shapes. instead of having to scroll through many different shapes in multiple colors, it would be quicker to have many different shapes options then just choose the color from a color wheel. I also wish the paths and patios could adjust the shape as well… a free form type option. I appreciate the layer buttons and locking layers comes in handy but it would be helpful to set each individual item’s layer. The menu could be more efficient as well. It always takes you back to the main menu instead of where you left off. Or if you back out of a subheading you’re back at the main menu again. For instance if I’m in pathways and I back out it doesn’t take me to hardscapes it takes me to the main menu again. More item options would be nice, especially in hardscapes and structures. The app works fine it’s just not very efficient. A few changes would make it more user friendly.

Not more useful than other tools

I bought this hoping for the squarespace of landscape design. I’m a graphic designer and I’ve used graph paper to draw to scale, I’ve used procreate, I’ve used illustrator…I wanted more pre-built options where I could adjust the shape of a flowerbed for example, enter actual dimensions and get something to drop plants etc into. This interface just felt like it wanted to sort of be like procreate but clunkier. Lots of steps. No useful tool tips or tutorial videos to get started. The FAQ kind of helped but not really. I can draw faster on my iPad or on paper than I can use this app so I regret spending the money and won’t be using it.

For what it is

BLAs opinion on

United States

I like this app for what it is. I wanted a simple app that allowed me to see the space I’m working with. I enjoy sketching out my own property for projects, gardening, playground, homesteading. This app is great for on the go and allows me to leave a sketch pad and ruler at the house. The reason for a 3 and not a 5 is for the limited varieties of plants and equipment. It is helping me visualize my goal, but I still need an active imagination to see the plans in my head. I like the 2d sketch and that part is enough for me. It’s an easy to use program and I do not regret the purchase. I don’t think this is the app for a landscaping business unless you are wanting to quickly map a worksite for a customer who lacks the ability to visualize your basic placement of objects.

Nice!

I really like this app. I thought it would help me in positioning additional shrubbery in my cottage garden. It was perfect for that. I also put a few additions on the house and that worked well too. It’s nice to see the design I was planning from a different perspective. I’m sure I’ll get a lot of use out of this app.

Totally unimpressed

I realize that this is a low cost graphics app BUT it is basically unusable. All work in in portrait mod because it does not rotate. Added items can be resized but they keep the XY proportions. All drawing is pencil and there is no straight line mode. Glad I did not spend much.

Very limited

Easy to use, but almost cartoonish design library of plants and structures.
