NPT Backyard

This seems like a decent app as far as designing a pool, but I am unable to get the visual aspect to work. It asks to move the phone back-and-forth up and down slowly I’ve been doing it now for almost 2 days on and off and I cannot get it to work.

Good for looking at tile options, but very limited on designs. You have to choose preset shapes and can’t make a custom shape pool.

Great app! Can’t imagine trying to decide on a pool without having the app to see all of the different options right in my own yard

Trying to decide on plaster from stonescapes and the water colors don’t change based on my selections

This app does not work. I don’t know if this version is bad or what is going on. So disappointing.

Use it only for fun, not for professional use

We were planning a pool remodel and found this app by chance. As it turns out, our first choice of bidding contractors uses NPT tile, finishes, and stonework, almost exclusively. The app provided exactly the kind of help we needed in visualizing how the styles and colors of materials will complement each other. Once you build your virtual pool, don’t forget to try the Augmented Reality (AR) view to see it in 3D in your yard. NPT has a great selection of materials, and this just adds more value and probably helped us confirm our contractor choice.

I tried this app and it’s a great concept, however it does not give an option for basic concrete or step placement at the end and corner of pool. You can’t choose a round spa on the side of the pool, only a square option. And you can’t choose a square spa on the side of the pool.

Design options are very limited, and even the material choices don't seem to be as broad as the catalog. Trying to use for a refurb of an existing pool and it's just not very helpful.

Downloaded the App to visualize a custom pool in our yard. All the options to customize look great and easy to use. The only problem is when I get to the step to view tiles and such, the App crashes. Every time I try again, it crashes at the same place. My iPhone is compatible and updated. It’s too bad because it does look helpful…
