“Home Outside allows you to create intricate and varied landscapes…And when you’re finished designing your yard or indulging in a little dreamscaping, you can email results to friend.” –Kate Murphy, The New York Times

“The app gives you drag and drop tools to create a garden design idiosyncratic to your garden [and] allows you to choose hardscape materials, design paths and patios, and arrange furniture in your outdoor space.” –Dalilah Arja, Gardenista

“I can’t imagine a designer who wouldn’t want to have this on their phone or tablet. I’ve tried this app … it’s a great tool for a ‘quickie’ design that you can show clients … and then refine as you like.” –Jane Berger, Garden Design Online

## Yard Planner Reviews in United States

### ****- "Missing 1 thing"
Just custom dimensions for houses, x and y or whatever, height and width, maybe depth, possibly just a isometric view, perhaps a dark mode, maybe even floors.

This app has the ability to map out entire rust bases, 🔥🔥🔥 it is straight fire, I just want my driveway to be gravel
-- Agent -13, 2024-10-16

### *---- "Completely unusable"
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.
-- One9Six9, 2024-08-11

### *---- "Can’t do anything worthwhile"
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..
-- geolehman, 2024-08-05

### **--- "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.
-- ZandS mom, 2024-04-24

### **--- "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.
-- danadoesdesign, 2024-04-11

### ***-- "For what it is"
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.
-- BLAs opinion, 2024-03-12

### ***** "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.
-- cjk292, 2023-11-06

### *---- "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.
-- a9b3c8725dh, 2023-10-24

### *---- "Very limited"
Easy to use, but almost cartoonish design library of plants and structures.
-- Ninjawoodchuck, 2023-10-09

### *---- "?"
Downloaded the app checked it out didn’t do what I needed it to do deleted it then comes next month and they charged my card $3.17 why? I’m unsure and I would like my money back they took unauthorized
-- 1/1No, 2023-09-06

### *---- "Scam!!!!"
No art library
-- Rajuncsjun60, 2023-08-25

### *---- "Not useful at all"
Tried using this and it’s a joke. Very hard to change plant spacing and size. No plant data base.Just dumb
-- Waynetight, 2023-08-07

### *---- "Don’t buy"
Accurately planning with mapping is what I care about and for whatever reason my iPad is displaying a ancient version of Google Maps with the app that cannot even perform a search function, rendering the app pointless for me.
-- Birdcalling, 2023-07-29

### ***-- "Not what I had hoped"
I had high hopes for this design.  It’s not that advanced and seems a bit basic at best.  Have seen better apps that were free.  Not really worth it.
-- taketime2travel, 2023-07-23

### ***** "Great app"
This app is simple and easy to use. Very basic images and options but it helps give you an idea of what the space you are working with will look like. No in app purchases like all the other similar apps.
-- bikinikat21, 2023-07-12

### *---- "Delete account"
I was charged for a subscription to this app. I am trying to delete my account and stop any subscription fees from being charged in the future. However, this has proven to be almost impossible to do. How can I go about deleting my account with this app?
-- Palamejo, 2023-06-21

### *---- "Waste of money"
Do not waste your money total junk
-- tundra 2005, 2023-03-02

### *---- "Not a Tablet app"
Purchased on iPad. Not a tablet app. Sigh. Useless to me.
-- JustinDoesntUseiPhone, 2023-02-12

### ***-- "Outdated and not useful on a IPAD"
The app only works in portrait mode.

Graphics are old.

Needs a refresh.

But it’s only $3 so you get what you pay for.

This is a iPhone app ported to a IPAD… and does not take advantage of the IPAD features
-- denninc, 2023-01-02

### ***** "Where has this app been my whole life"
I love the way this app measures and gives a clear picture of what you have. I love the simplicity of it too, it is easy to navigate. Get it it’s worth it.
-- Cqueen of Texas, 2022-11-06
