FloorDesign for Android

I am a pretty computer savvy person and this program was complicated just putting the walls in. We're planninng an addition on our home and I'm lookinng for somethign simple where I can plug in the walls and my fixtures. I was fine to study up on how to correctly use the app but after combing through the internet I couldn't find a single thing with how-to guides. No YouTube videos, writen tutorials, or even a website with helpful tips and tricks. I've wasted way too much time trying to figure it out, deleting this app and moving on.

Trying to set walls, doors, windows at proper length and location in structure is crap. There are no reference point easily used. Diminsions are hard to find. No good tutorials or videos availiable.

Used on 10.14.6 Jan 2020. Bought this for a quite job based on all the positive reviews... not sure how these people were using it, but they must have had an even simpler floorplan than mine, and mine was quite simple... This app needs a A LOT of polish. I encountered many frustrations, principally 3: 1) Dimensions... if you can't get dimensions exactly where you want them in a floor plan app, does it even have a purpose? EVERY FLOOR PLAN PROGRAM NEEDS GRANULAR ADJUSTMENT OF DIMENSIONS and cannot have the user entered dimensions --automatically-- overridden by the program at every possible turn!!! This is the problem dear programmer: You cannot FORCE the dimensions to be 'pixel perfect' in scale down to the 1/4-inch... that's ridiculous. You need to allow dimensions to be entered (AND DRAGGED, even better nudged with an arrow key for better control in some situations) and NOT immediately override them because the pixel that represents a end-point or corner is at a "given location"... horrible... Adjusting the "scale" or the minimum values in preferences has disastrous effects on open documents because of this... 2) Objects DO NOT snap to rooms automatically in a proper fashion. If you should drage and Temporarily drop a room on top of another room, even if they are on DIFFERENT LAYERS, some of the doors and windows and measurement lines will unsnap!--then snap to the other room--!!! and then be pulled away with the wrong room when you move the rooms away from each!!!! Loki forbid you don't notice this rigth away and have to "undo" a bunch of work, which doesn't work perfectly either, which is the greatest bane of single-programmer graphic design apps, bar none, apparenlty on this app store. Oh, and don't be surprised when this bug crops up when all you do is a ADD A NEW room and all the fixtures of one "below" are ripped away and snapped to your new room... ugh... 3) Resizing a non-rectangular room with say two corners that have been "cut-in" creating 2 extra walls at each corner is next to impossible unless you get the main walls exactly how you want them before adjusting/adding the other walls and corners... BECAUSE it changes the dimensions of other walls in a way that doesn't make any sense, so you correct one wall, only to have it adjust a second wall!!! impossible! Well, aside from that Senator, the app got the "quick" job done with a disproportionate amount of frustration and time-wasting... of course, I don't foresee using it ever, ever again... At least it can export to PDFor EPS? This is a program that is so beautifully well-intentioned and has so much potential. For those who come after me, I seriously hope this developer continues to work on this program, UNPROMPTED, as there is more than enough work to do for it to be considered fully usable by even any amateur who might want to draw up a quick floor plan. If the dev fixes these and a handful of other minor issues, this program would be a gift to the world. Chuc Mung Nam Moi

This app gets the job done quite well, especially given its low cost relative to other software in the home design market. I'm giving 5 stars because this app fills a niche in marketplace and the developer was responsive to the single bug fix request we submitted.

There use to be an option for cutting a wall in part, after an update that option seem to have desapear, it probabely is somewhere but I just cant find it.
