RenoPlan - Floor Plan Creator

Thanks

Have to pay

1. The app requires you to make an account to try even basic features. 2. The app doesn’t seem to accept addresses generated by Hide My Email. This means giving someone my real email to see if an app is even worth my time. Nah. I’ll try again with a different email but I’m not hopeful. Developers: I am totally cool buying an app. I’m also cool with in-app purchases. What I won’t abide is an app that is functionally useless in its “free” evaluation period. Especially when it demands my personal information before I know if the app is even one I want to use.

Not for me

It will be handy to create an estimate after drawing the floor plan, get a customer to sign the quote on site, then turn it into an invoice when the job is completed. Has been using this app for a while, a nice light weight edition of its MeasureSquare Mobile that works for contractors.

I like this floor diagramming effort workflow of setting up this floor. Did my entire house floor plan in less than 4 hours using tape measure with this app. Also like the DXF export that is very useful in other app. A great starter app. Has a fun 3-D but very-simpl3 viewer.

I have tried using several apps to create a simple floor plan to scale for energy modeling and this has been the best by far. Very easy to learn and has great accuracy when calculating sqft and volume. The time saved makes is easily worth the money.

I am a mitigation technician at a small company, so when I enter homes I have to do a detailed “sketch” of the affected areas. Plus the free version works flawlessly.

Compared to a lot of other apps, this one is very accessible. It also doesn’t set you up for a subscription just to learn the ropes. It’s been very useful for my small plan as a homeowner.

This app has some cool features, but it’s biggest “bug” is that they think that being able to export a dxf file is worth $10.00 a month. It isn’t. In most real programs (not apps), this is a simple File, save as… function. Worth a one time $10? Sure! But $120 a year? No. Not even close. Might be worth it if you are a full time contractor. If you are a DIYer, maybe you want to drive on by. Not worth it for me.
