Brings Ideas to Life!. I’m working on designing my backyard and I had a tough time picturing what it would look like. After finding this free app, I was able to get a visual. I especially loved the ability to download the map! I highly recommend this amazing app!

Could use improvement. Coming from a landscape designer’s perspective, the app could use a lot of work. The designs shown in the apps description are aesthetically pleasing however, from the limited time I have spent with it, it is almost impossible to create a drawing that is to scale. You can only use pre- determined objects for creating your basic site map. You can adjust the structures, but not easily create a house outline for example. You cannot snap the lines to the grid as in most AutoCAD programs to create straight polygonal lines. If this function alone were added I feel the app would be improved greatly.

Improve with 5x more shrub/tree variety!!!. I love this app! It’s easy to use and has helped me sell landscape jobs. However the shrub/tree pallet is extremely limited and needs to improve with 5x the current variety.

This is the bomb!!!. I love this app I have been looking for an app like this for quite some time. I checked in the App Store and came across this app and I was able to click on it and figure it out in about 30 minutes.

I give it five because it’s also free. I nice little app to design a garden. It was so simple to use so please do not change and do not do anything ever ever ever again:-)

Very good for beginners. I had very little experience but needed to make a diagram of our garden club’s plans for a garden at an island center of a state highway. DOT had specific requirements for the plans. I was able to complete the layout according to their specific guidelines using this app. Spent one evening playing with it while watching TV and I was ready to go. Not hard to use. Plan looks very professional and the other club members were impressed

Simple but awesome!. I’ve been able to use this simple little app for so much!! I used it to help set up where we wanted our pool built in our backyard to how to set up furniture on our patio once the pool was built. Next I’ll use it for the front yard as we plan to pull up our landscaping there and start over. It doesn’t have a whole lot of options, so it won’t be perfect but I’ve always been able to make it work. I prefer it’s simplicity and top down view to the more complicated and 3D looks of other apps.

Not intuitive, not useful. This app is NOT intuitive. How do I set the size of my house?? Sizing with two fingers does not let me set the correct size of the house because I can’t change the ratio of LxW, it’s preset. Also, my iPad sits in a stand that is landscape and this app forces me to work in portrait only.

Exactly what I was looking for. I have an oddly shaped house and lot. I love that I was able to take a snapshot of the house on google maps and use the exact dimensions to plan everything out. The built in materials and building blocks made it easy to visualize what we’re trying to accomplish. Minor bug, I think you can only ‘sketch’ on one layer. I would like to be able to sketch on each layer for when the built in shapes aren’t enough.

Whaaaaaat it's free??!! YES!!. Thank you Home Outside, for showing others that free can be useful. There are so many apps out there that are only worth to be deleted! I love your app! Easy to learn, easy to use, and loads of options! Looking forward to the landscape version. If you're looking for Beta users, I'm your girl!!

See my vision. I have been in the landscape industry for over 30 years now. I have used many different design programs during this time. To include expensive cad based programs. This is a good basic and easy to use design app. Some clients can not see the vision of the landscape I’m trying to sell them. When this happens, I find this app very useful to share that vision. There is a little learning curve to be efficient using this design app. Some may not even experience this curve. I can complete a design in about 20 to 30 minutes and either print it out or email it to my client. I’m hoping they continue to add new objects as this will only make it that much better and easier to use. I would recommend this app to anyone who would be in a position to create new landscapes.

Surprised at how useful this is. Great ap. I’ve used it to plot our landscape design as well as barn layout. Very easy to use. Great options and I’ve gotten creative at how to use different shapes and colors to add structures and plants that are not built in to the program.

Great app!. I recently took a class that asked me to draw a plan of my property. I’m not an artist, so I tried this app. It took a little time to get the hang of it, but I eventually made a plan of my yard that I can use. The other students were very impressed! Taking off one star because it can use a few improvements, but overall it’s pretty great.

Frustrating and limited design. Great features, but lost all my work in one wrong click. No undo of any kind. Does not support landscape view on iPad only portrait. I would give 5 stars if it was better designed for iPad, a place to save a backup to design, and have an undo feature.

Highly Impressed!!. This is the first unsolicited review I’ve actually gone back into the App Store to give! This app is VERY slick!! It took about 5 minutes for me to understand what I was doing and then I was ready to go!! I do suggest that you pay attention to the Tips as they give you valuable instructions. GREAT JOB to the Developers-this app is a HOME RUN!!

Great app!!!. I usually don't rate apps as that much but i like this app and how you can design your home or park or anything, keep at good work!!

Disappointed. I wanted a way to redesign a concrete patio around a pool. The tools are very basic. You can create boxes or draw a rough outline with the pencil tool. You cannot make curves nor fill in a free form drawn shape with the hardscape material. Disappointed I spent the money when it just couldn’t offer what I needed. I used it for less than an hour and uninstalled it.

Great app. Nothing like it as good.. Which is my 5 star rating. Would love to be able to size things accordingly and not rely on preformed sizes. Also would love an update with new things. (More furniture. HardscApes. Etc. Maybe an outdoor shower ) hahaha. I like the feature where we can upload photos but finding good matches for the over all aesthetic takes time. Over all I love it. I’m about to re do my entire yard front and back and this was really helpful to see if the idea would work.

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.

I have used this app SO MANY times!. I am a person that has to move furniture to see it/feel it. This app has really helped me to have that experience, without the back ache. Just saying. :)

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.

Sweet for concept designs!. This is great for mapping out the basic areas of my property to get an idea across quickly. It’s NOT a super sophisticated design tool like CAD or similar desktop programs—it’s more like a colorful sandbox tool with remarkable functionality and agility for a small screen.

Awesome app. Very useful with easy to use for basic planning and then the features are much more in depth than most would ever use. The examples are perfect to see how to use the features to their capability. Most of us will be more than impressed by the simplicity

Great ap.. Got this ap to map out our maple trees we use for maple syrup. The note part is great to number the trees and keep track of how many gallons of sap from each tree. We can see which trees are producing and which aren't. Much better than a hand written log.

Awesome App!. We viewed a sale house with 4 acres with a realtor last weekend. Afterwards, I used the “platt” map and arial photo of the property and property lines as the background in Home Outside:Landscape. Such fun! After I layered all the buildings and tree, plant, pond features and CHANGES that I wanted over the map and photo, I deleted the map/photo and now have a GREAT landscaping plan. (Although, were probably not buying the property ...it was a great way to process and see the possibilities.)

Best!. 20 years designing,I use this app more than any other pc software and app .if you know how to use it is amazing.

Very useful. It took me awhile to learn how to use it to it’s full potential but once I did it did an amazing job at helping me visualize my desired landscape designs. I see other reviews saying you have to pay for the app but when I downloaded the app it was free.

Too Simple. I thought I was going to be able to design my backyard using real photos of plants with specific names but instead it’s just an overhead view using overly simple drawings of non-specific plants, trees etc. May be good for some but definitely not what I needed

Very helpful. Using this app, I was able to design the new patio for our new house. It’s easy to use. While not having all the bells and whistles, it enabled me to give life to my vision.

A-MAZ-ING!. I love this app SO SO SO MUCH! It’s so easy and fun. One thing I cannot figure out though is how to make the size of objects. Other than that, this is the best home designing app out there! No in app purchases! All free! So expect to sizing objects, this app is AMAZING!

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?

Exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for an easy to use garden design app and this is wonderful. You can create entire landscapes, use layers, add notes for what you’re planting, add structures, hardscape, furniture and planting conditions...it’s really fun and inspiring. A wonderful addition would be a way to export the notes list along with the final garden design. You can only add 40 notes, but maybe that means I need to stop buying so many plants :)

Almost there. The program is stable and works good once you get the hang of it. I like the layers and notes features. The map function is awesome. The sketch function works well but leads me to the first shortfall, no way to fill sketch drawing with a color or textures. It would be great if you could resize on X or Y axis independently for objects, it’s hard to get the shapes you need without duplicating. It has some great features but a few more will take this over the top.

Good app. I like the app, and I’ve yet to find another app worth using as a way to manage my 36+ acres, but as other reviewers have noted, the app would benefit from adding the ability to draw shapes and structures of specific dimensions rather than choosing from pre-proportioned blocks and being able to draw fencing by converting lines into fences rather than the clumsy fence blocks provided. I still give it 5 stars because it IS a good looking and functioning app. Perhaps I should give it 4 stars, but I’ve yet to find any other comparable app.

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.

Exactly what I was looking for. My wife and I are building a house right now. I was able to use this app to design the layout for all of our landscape and hardscape areas. I had some general ideas of what I wanted and the app was very helpful in allowing me to put those ideas into a comprehensive plan. Saved me from having to pay a landscape architect $5k to $10k. Good stuff.

Amazing App. Very easy to use, after using this app to create my outline and landscape blueprint for my yard it gave me the confidence to actually see a future in landscape design. Thank you for the team that put this together! Keep Pushing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sophisticated app but lacks basics. The user interface looks good from an aesthetic point if view, and there are a lot of cool things about this app. The developer did a good job. But still, some very basic things are missing. I don't see that you can set the shape and size of your yard from within the app. The shapes yiu can add to the draw are each stuck to certain width-to-length proportion and all you can do is enlarge and shrink retaining the same proportion. After trying out I gave up, as te features it has are canceled by the basics it doesn't have.

Fun to use. I’ve only hap this app for a few days and I’m having fun discovering what I can do with it. After hunting around the available items that can be placed on the plans and that things can be put on different levels. I find it a very useful planning tool.

Lacks basics. Great looking app, unfortunately lacks the basic ability to create your own size landscape. Example: The space I want to landscape is 10’ x 35’. I can’t quickly add that shape or size blueprint to work with. I either need to select the actual area on google maps (which is practically impossible for a space that small), or draw out a blueprint on paper, take a picture of the blueprint with my phone, and add it via camera roll. All other great features of the app are simply rendered useless if users can’t create a rectangle.

Decent but needs more features. This app is OK for general use for basic purposes however I feel like it relies too heavily on the drawing portion of the app to make up for its lack of features such as additional shapes and plant types and the ability to stretch an item such as a fence or Rockwall to a certain length. I also feel the interface could use a little bit of work like when I tap on an item and then go back it takes me to the main menu instead of back where I was previously. I would also like to see this app automatically update across devices.

Missing feature. This is a fabulous app for the price, but buyer beware, it’s missing something extremely important. The photo export is a low res joke. There is no PDF or high quality export. So there’s so actual way to print a decent copy. The images look pixelated and choppy. If it had a decent export it would easily be a 5 star app.

Finally, the planning tool I needed!. I’ve spent days looking for exactly this type of landscape design tool and was thrilled to find this - and for free. I haven’t used the photo or map features, but the layout and sketch tool is perfect for committing ideas to “paper.” 10/10 would recommend.

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.

Alwaysagoodday. This app is the bomb! Downloaded and went right to work with it! I have about a level three experience on a one to ten using design programs so not that savvy but this program was excellent. Turned out my new landscape design within an afternoon. Quite happy.

Enjoyed creating my design. I found the program very easy to use and was able to get my ideas into a form I could print. Very limited plant selections, but was able to create icons to represent my selections.

Designing for my new house. I deleted this app about 20 minutes after downloading it. I was hopeful that it would help me layout a design for my new house but I could not get passed a few issues. -I cannot use the app on my iPad in landscape mode.. (ironic?) -I could not figure out how to layout a custom sized property, shape, or existing structures. If thats an option, It is not intuitive at all. -It feels like I’m playing with an app that was made for toddlers. Maybe good if you’re just playing around, but for real life application, I would not recommend this app.

Not worth the money for small projects. Unable to snap a grid drawing of my smaller project. If I was working with numerous acres this might be worth the expense, but useless for a smaller project like mine. You should be able to enter a dimension as a starter and be able to work from there. Also, in the systems page, trying to scroll up or down only worked part of the time. I kept having to exit the program and re-enter to get it to work. In the end, it simply wouldn’t scroll at all. I’ll delete the program and look for something better.

Why pay for a design when you can create you own!. Few words need for this app. It’s great. If you know what you’re looking for and doing it’s easy to manage. Wishing 2 hrs of playing with it I got a final design for my own backyard. I may even become a professional backyard stylist. Who knows!

Great Utility. I’ve really enjoyed this app, especially now that I’m getting better at using it. It’s addictive! Two things I would love to see that would be great value-adds and not too much development cost is the ability to stretch an object horizontally or vertically to slightly change its shape. Also would like more images to pick from. The object resizing works great, but sometimes I want to keep the width but extend the length, and I haven’t seen that ability. I would also like to rescale everything so that, for instance, the property shown is 150 ft long and 120 ft wide, instead of 180 ft long and 150 ft wide. I’m just having a hard time dialing that in, so I don’t know how big all my objects really need to be, or I have to account mentally for some conversion factor as I size my objects. There was some kind of scale thing when I first uploaded and blueprint of my property, but I can’t figure out how to get back to it, and I’m worried that all my objects would not adjust with it anyway. That’s why I think ithe option would be cool to rescale the whole thing. Otherwise it’s perfect!

Garden design. Loving this little app and have been planning my garden for our new home. It has loads of features but I’d love it to get more additions for the garden. I’d like to be able to change the shape of the paving and lawns and shapes and maybe draw in some features myself. I’m having lots of fun though doing garden plans with this app and I’m looking forward to it becoming more popular and gaining more features. Metric measurements will be awesome. Thank you.

Great App. Fast and easy to use. Produces a great image. Exactly what I was looking for

Terrific time saver!. Is rare nowadays to download an application that does everything it says it will - and more! This is a terrific little app and I've found it invaluable in planning out the stables and outdoor living areas, fencing etc for my new country property. It's helped me to visualise and spot problems before I actually start the process for real. It's helped me to accurately judge how many fence posts I need per fence, positioning of gates etc. Can't recommend it more highly! Thanks for a true time saving application that has made a real world job so much easier.

Useless App. I paid for the full version and it is still completely useless. You can't resize the scale of an object so you have to cut and paste some things multiple times to get the correct length eg.fence. Not enough objects eg. Turf, plants. Not enough tools eg. Can't measure objects.

Great App. This is a great App. Used it for our garden design. The 12 dollars for the extra tools is a bit steep I reckon. I finally gave in and purchased but was disappointed with the grass pallet and there are many similarities to the free pallets.

iPad portrait only. Only works in portrait mode :(

Good all round. Easy to learn, easy to use, good range of plants and buildings but more options here and an ability to poor fill areas or draw to creat large areas of lawn, cement, paving etc would be my only suggestion.

Poor app very small amount of choice and functions. Quite a poor app for the price. Landscaping app with almost no plants in it. Only a few shapes and sizes with a couple of repeated colors. The functionality is also very poor. No ability to resize objects at all. No ability to create or change objects. We also had problems with it just losing work half way through so the stability is also very bad here. It's essentially a clipart dropping program with very little choice. Don't waste your money here, use a cheap or free art app instead. This app isn't worth the space if it was free.

Very useful. Very useful app when explaining how you want your block planned out

Not to bad at all. Very handy but can figure out if you can set yard dimensions in to make it easier to scale & I can adjust objects but can seem to adjust just the length or width of the object

Way too basic. Full of promises but so basic not worth paying for. A handful of tools, difficult to unjust and a smattering of plants. Waste of money.

Missing a fundamental option. I’d like to be able to change the settings to metric rather than imperial measurements. Not having this option makes it harder and less enjoyable to use.

Very basic. Very basic. Rotating and adjusting object sizes is annoying and fickle. Apple Pencil is not supported. Basic shapes with not much variety. App crashes when I attempt to “Save as photo”. Regret buying.

Love it!. Would love a new update with some new plants and new trees to choose from Love it!

Very useful. This app is very well done it has pretty much everything one would need to help create or design a landscape style though rough sometimes very useful and easy to use my only criticism is not being able to change colours of some items other then that would recommend this app to anyone.

Great for beginners. Great app for you who are starting out and want something to help your customers visualise your ideas. Thanks guys.

Basic. Thought I would try this app to design my backyard & give me a preview of what it could look like. My first impression was basic shapes & colours. Very hard to move objects without overlapping, after several attempts I gave up. No scaling available which would be handy for landscaping projects. I thought by paying I would be getting a premium tool for landscaping design but it seems more like childs play.

Great. Love it. No gardening or design skills. Was able to easily design a space great app

Don’t waste your money.. For an app that you need to pay for, there isn’t many options or items to choose from. Very basic, I would expect this to be free or much cheaper. Don’t waste your money on this app.

No Stars. This app only gives me a green screen. They have stolen my money!

Great little program. This is a great little app. It’s very user friendly and intuitive, and I was able to redesign my backyard within a hour or so of downloading it. I’ve tried several other apps but they were generally much less user friendly or overly complex. This app strikes a great balance between simplicity and effectiveness. As one reviewer noted many apps don’t really deliver but this one does. It’s one of the most useful apps I’ve downloaded.

Only if your bored. Don't waste your time. My grass grew 6 inches while setting up this with my design.

Handy App. Very handy app to visualise basic concepts. Grouping feature can be tedious.

Nifty!. Handy little way to get to visualise your future, borked at the upgrade price though for full use

Great little program. Seems to do everything one could want

Missy. It's a ok app. Has some great features however gets a bit frustrating as the pictures are hard to rotate, resize and move

Good solid free and helpful app. Does what is advertised, ideal for planning out a base model for outdoor areas and unlike most other apps it’s actually usable in its free form, highly recommend

Did the job. Needed something basic to help me plan out layout for backyard Reno (eg pool versus spa, where to lay things out). Found the google maps picture and ability to drag and drop basic shapes over this did the job. Not perfect, but enough to help me plan out some ideas. Couldn't find anything else out there that was free and simple to use like this. Like that you can share design via email to friends or other devices.

Not worth the time or $$$. Very disappointing ap. Issues: groups of items would not ungroup, some items would not select after moving, some work would not save. Very limited pallet of colours, shapes and tools.

Do not buy. There are some 4/5 reviews, I'm not sure if they've actually used this app. It's intensely frustrating to use. Theres no "send to back/front" so when clicking on things, they come forward and if there were things on top, now they're buried never to be seen again. All layers must be locked to zoom/rotate the design. The Google map feature was nice to start with, but good luck getting anywhere from there.

Designing landscape. Not bad, however it seems to glitch sometimes. Saves a design (zoomed in & can't retrieve the whole picture).

It's a ripoff. No possibility to resize elements you put in tour design. No use for design.

Way over rated. This app is probably fine for doing some rough “sketching” of a yard, but it’s terrible if you want to do anything exact. There are rulers and grid lines, but they are completely unrelated so doing something to scale is virtually impossible. You can’t adjust the ratio of pre-made shapes, so if you want a rectangle that is a different length to width ratio, you have to use multiple rectangles and overlap them. The list goes on…

No Functionality in Free App - Deleted. I feel like the designer is gaming Apple's app system to get you to download. This doesn't look good on the designer. This should be listed with a price ($20.99 Cdn) because there is no functionality to try before buying the app.

Terrible. Save your money. Poor graphics, hard to use.... A joke really.

Finicky. Interesting concept, but fiddly to operate and hard to manipulate the limited number of choices or to get a clear idea of scale. Trees get lost under patios, flower beds refuse to turn or shrink, things disappear for no reason.

Interesting, but needs improvement. I wanted to be able to show contractors the modifications I wish to make in my garden and this tool is great in that regard. In enables you to create your design on several layers so that whatever your basic structure or foundation is not altered when you make changes. On the other side this app needs improvement. First and foremost, it crashes often when your deisgn starts to require more memory. Second, you cannot change the colors of the plant, pavement, and so on. Since this already existed in the "90's (MacPaint!) II believe they could do a better job (ex. With all the diversity of colors for pavment nowadays, why is there only "pale grey" and "beige"?

Program is useless. The free version is terrible! No matter what I wanted to do, the program kept asking me to buy their bundles, at a ridiculous price. The hardscapes had to be one size or shape, there was no modification allowed- decks are built in different shapes, not just square... Not many options, even if you are willing to pay the price. Will definitely be deleting this app.

Free version totally useless. No matter what I tried to do, I kept getting pop ups for purchase upgrades. The free version would not allow anything to happen. Why bother?

Very disappointing. When I first downloaded the app I was very happy with it. Unfortunately after I spent many hours creating my yard plan the app started to freeze and loose my work. Very disappointed.

Happy. Being able to rethink my backyard space over and over endlessly using this app is lots of fun!

Useless. No functionality in the free version, only adds to buy extra stuff from them. Not recommended. I am deleting it.

Not very useful. The grid doesn't match up with the rulers, there is no way to actually measure how long a dimension is, the objects you can insert aren't scaled... What is the point of this?

Home outside palette. Program keeps shutting down. Very frustrating to use. Sounded good but not worth two cents. Hopefully the developers will make some much needed reprogramming.

Crap app. Time waster. Don't bother. Control not there.

Quality app, with a few small flaws. The app doesn't have very detailed graphics, although the 'layers' feature, variety of deco and greenery, and positioning options are well-designed. Another minor flaw is that the app has a couple small bugs, such as decorations being selected still after entering and leaving the menu. The colours are gorgeous and blend together beautifully. Overall a 4/5, but with small changes it could be made perfect.

Easy to use. The most user friendly outside design app on the market! This app allowed me to design a stunning outdoor space for my home.

Espère de l'amélioration. Pourrais être meilleur ce n'est pas bon pour des paysagistes comme moi. Mais pour messieurs madame tout le monde sa peut faire la job

Awkward.. Doesn't design 3D or 2D from side views. Import map doesn't work. Want to design a deck? Don't use this

A great landscape layout tool!. This is a great app for people looking to plan or visualize landscapes. Very easy to use, allows you to import photos as well as google map images. I'd love to see more colours, more icons and more customization. Include those and I'd happily pay for the app. That being said, it's free and gets the job done. Thanks guys, well done!

Not a Tablet app. Purchased on iPad. Not a tablet app. Sigh. Useless to me.

What a piece of crap. Cheap design, trees don’t even look like trees, buildings, driveways limited. Don’t waste your money

Not what I thought. I was looking for an app that could provide me with a scaled drawing for my landscaping plans. As a requirement for my HOA. I was not able to do that with this app.

$3 wasted. The app is nearly unusable without the ability to set dimensions and scale to specific lengths. Lesson learned.

It's fun like a game but nothing more. Although it looks high tech and advance it feels more like a kids game. You can't create curves or custom paths and scaling is impossible to get the right with with out changing the length. But it is free and you get what you pay for.

Waste of time and money. Sure you can add a GPS photo of your yard, but you can’t use that photo for design. What few structures are offered cannot be manipulated in a way that fits the dimensions you want. I wish there was a way to give back this horrible app.

Pretty Useless. Just one example: I tried to draw curved patio over a satellite image of my yard. I could trace outlines, but then, say when inserting a patio, you could only insert a square image. No ability to drag edges to match the shape. Same with lawns.

Horrible. I haven’t seen an iPad app this bad in years. Only works in portrait mode, terrible UX, spent 2 hours trying to simply add a green 15x25 rectangle on a design before giving up - if there is a way to do it, it shouldn’t be that hard to figure out. I’ve been robbed.

Really quite useless. At best this is a toy. At worst it’s money thrown away. Your choice. It’s NOT sketch up, or Revit, or AutoCAD, or Vectorworks, or SIMMS (the game). It’s not anything like actual design software. It’s basic nonfunctional crap. Sorry.

No landscape mode for ipad. Why is this app forced into portrait viewing for the ipad? SO ANNOYING!

Waste of money. No flexibility. You get what you pay for.

Simple, easy to use, but lacks 3D visualization. I’ve had this app for about 3 years now. I use it regularly because I am a gardener, and recently purchased a house on 5 acres. I love the ability to import an aerial photo of my lot. That allowed me to see where my existing features were, and set them on a locked layer. Things like the location of my well head, septic tank, and drain field. On a new layer I made proposed hardscaping: a circular driveway, gravel paths for moving supplies, etc. Other layers were made for the garden plantings, water features, and animal enclosures. The basic tools are easy to use. You can rotate and resize the library images, overlapping them to create the basic shape you want. I have found the app to be very stable, not buggy, and I recommend it to everyone. The graphics are like architectural sketches, not photo-realistic, with water color shading. I like the look. I give the app 4 stars because it lacks 2 things in my opinion: - I would love to have the ability to look at my plan in 3D. It looks great from above, how does it look from the driveway? I would gladly pay $10 to upgrade my version of the app to have this feature. - If I plan a tree, shrub, or perennial in my garden, I would like to be able to record that in the app, so that when a plan is final, I have a map of where everything goes, as well as a shopping list to take to the nursery. I would also happily pay for this upgrade because I already know the app is well done and I will continue to use it.

not meant for ipad. this app was clearly meant for an iphone and as such drawing with it on an ipad feels super clunky (for instance tilt for landscape view doesn't work)

Loser app. Not worth the $2 dollars. Can’t use in landscape mode for drawing. Severely restricted on what you can add and then manipulate to your needs.

Waste. Just purchased app and wasn't able to do anything with it. It crashed every time I used the design feature. The reviews for this app must be bogus. It was a waste of money!

Very limited. Easy to use, but almost cartoonish design library of plants and structures.

Missing basics. I wanted to use this app to sketch out some designs for my property. The app is missing the most basic functions, including adjusting the size of base project, scrolling vertically or horizontally, etc. really disappointed that they got my 2.99. Don’t waste your money.

Not very user friendly. This app is great for planning out your land, but it is not very user friendly with very little teaching as to how to use the program.

Too Restrictive. It’s either impossible or just not at all intuitive to add elements to designs. I couldn’t figure out how to reduce dimensions or resize the canvas. Frustrating. I’ll just use Illustrator thank you.

Not meant for iPad. The app performs poorly on iPad. Gestures don’t work and it’s not optimized for the pencil. There’s no way to adjust the canvas size and draw things to scale. Would not recommend this app.

Stupid app. Size of land too small. Waste of time for larger properties. The map does not scale enough.

?. 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

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.

Not Bad. Gets the job done! Great free tool.

Absolutely Useless. I inserted my address and what is found is over 6 months old plus shows only shadows due to the trees that were once there. Definitely not user friendly.

Not integrated with plant species. Great for basic planning, but I need to be able to plot the actual dimensions of my space. I would also like a feature to add specific plant varieties (drought tolerant, full sun, shade only, height, etc) so I can take my design full scale with confidence.

Perfect for Permaculture Design. Seriously

Don’t do it’s a waste of money. Not user friendly at all

Waste of time and money.. Very limited ability. Small selection of elements to use. The 5 star reviews must be fake.

Useable on iPad is keyboard case. The app does not even rotate. I have my iPad in a keyboard case in a landscape position. This app is unusable because it will not rotate.

Not Worth the Purchase. DO NOT PURCHASE! This app lacks detail and useful tools. There’s no way to realistically measure features, even using the google maps layering tool. Pictures are too blurry to provide any realistic designing. Do not buy!

map coordinates not accurate. please refund. i am not able to get an accurate image of my property using your coordinate search. it does not map them correctly

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

Crappy instructions. I tried the free app of this finally figured out what to do made a design thought I saved it and date it that's OK I'll write it on a piece of paper truly a waste of time if you know how to draw

Terrible. A dinosaur.. Can’t utilize this in landscape mode? No pun intended. I had hoped for so much more. So unsophisticated my teenager could have made a better app. No naming or labeling, layers act weird, no ability to lock screen in one easy gesture. Ugh.

Great app to design. Love the app. Very easy to design backyard pool area. Like the ability to take pictures of area to design and availability to add plants, etc to picture.

Don’t bother if you have an iPad.. Who creates a PAID FOR app like this and doesn’t support landscape mode (for iPad users)? Eve looking past this, it doesn’t look like it’s been updated in years.... sadly you’d be better off just sketching freehand than using this app. Disappointing!

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.

Cannot add actual plants or objects in scale!. After sketching out my backyard— I realized you can only add vague outlines of plants and items. Not much better than graph paper. Really bummed to lose the time and the $2.99.

Never got past step 1. Setting the dimensions you want to work with should be up front, obvious & in you face. I uninstalled after not being being able to get started. Shrug.

Don’t buy. Not worth $2.99. This app is what I would expect out of something free. The ruler is a nice touch, but truly this app is not worth what I paid for it.

Don’t waist your money. Just purchased this app. Don’t waist your money

Scale measurements. Being unable to change the scale has made this impossible to use.

awesome app...thx. great for planning landscape... you get a 95%... the 5% is needs landscape view instead of portrait only... needs possibility of transparent flower images choices of actual lifelike images too

not great for iPad. This app would be a lot more useful if you could use it in horizontal on an ipad so you could design it properly.

Not for designing sprinkler systems. Downloaded this to do map out my front yard to update sprinkler heads. Needing to get angles and scales. Yep a non-starter. Want to add a blurry picture from a satellite. Get it from Google Maps instead

Rip off. Do not waste your money on this.

Easy App. This app was so easy to use! It puts your thoughts and ideas Into perspective. Don G

Waste of money. Do not waste your money total junk
