Deko - AI Home Design for Android

This app’s “redesign” is plucking things from an AI generated search of the internet. You can literally do this on Pinterest by looking up ideas. This app uploaded a photo and didn’t even use the photo. The only application for this app are cookie cutter designs from apartments and condos where AI generated photos already exist to generalize the owners space. The nicknames for this review such as wasted money and terrible were already taken. Not surprised.

The ad I saw for this on Twitter gives the impression that the user can choose what they want changed and what they want it changed to. It shows the walls being highlighted (presumably by the user—it looks like a finger is tracing the area) then choosing a new paint color, the floor being highlight and changed to different flooring, etc. But that’s not actually what happens at all in this app. Instead, after you upload an image of a room, the app generates a whole new room, without any input from the user except what budget the user has and whether or not they want to DIY build any furniture. I picked $500 (the lowest option) and no DIY furniture. I never got the opportunity to tell the app if I wanted the walls changed another color, the flooring replaced… Nothing like that. Instead it generated an entirely different room with a whole new fireplace, new flooring, all new furniture…. Nobody is going to be able to do all that for $500! Not only did I have no desire for an entirely new room with every single element from paint color to fireplace to furniture completely replaced, it didn’t even ask me what style I wanted this new room to be in. I’m a home stager and I was hoping I could use this app to show clients what their room would look like after making some minor cosmetic changes, like wall color. Maybe the pro version is different, but no way I’m paying for it without being able to try those features first (if they even exist).

This app is not good in any way. It won’t let you customize our work with certain furniture in the room. It’s AI is poor and will often times miss place items or create false overlaps or dimensions. It doesn’t help you craft a room at all. It can’t seem to figure out how to fit a table into any space for a dining room, this is a bad app and waste of money

The rooms don’t look like my living room at all . They are just pictures

This app is great if u just need a vision but it’s not great if u want to know what an island would Look Like in your kitchen or that you only want white cabinets. Or use standard Lowe’s materials. Maybe I am expecting too much but I feel Like a few tweaks and this app would be so valuable and could be free if they used sponsors like Lowe’s or build.com What ever u do if u add features keep it simple so that people can use right away. Or pay for advanced features
