User Reviews for iScape: Landscape Design

Couldn’t do my job without it!

I am a landscape contractor and have used this app on a daily basis for last several years. Each estimate I send to a customer includes a rendering of their project using iScape. Does it have a few bugs? Sure, but they are constantly updating and fixing them. I have searched for similar apps and nothing compares to what this one can do. After reading several of the bad reviews I have to believe they are just trolling. Claiming there aren’t palm trees in the image library for example, totally bogus. There are around twenty different palms to choose from, so go figure. The customer support is great. Whenever I’ve had an issue they’ve responded promptly with a solution. How many times have you had that happen with other apps???I give this app a five star rating because I think it awesome and want them to be successful and keep on developing it.

Great concept but needs work

The idea of this app is great but it’s hard to Crete a custom landscape with. This app has very limited choices that are able to be inserted it needs to expand what can be dropped in quickly just by searching also everything is already pre designed I want to be able to take an idea that I. My head and build it in the app this goes for all the customization you sell a customer on I do a lot of hard scaling in addition to landscaping I wish this app allowed me to map out an exact design shaped the way I will custom lay make it the height I want it the color I want it I get it there’s only so many you can possibly have pre loaded but allow me to upload one pic of a single block and a single cap and let me build a wall or raised bed border block by block the pre loaded images are useless when creating something custom every yard is shaped differently and each customer has there own specific wishes. It’s not really designing a custom landscape when you can change anything making it custom means it’s specially shaped and designed for a yard so even tho I have thousands of images on my phone from previous projects there very difficult to use because every project is different

Why I give it 2 stars

For one there is no free version besides the trial where you can use products you have to subscribe, which is horrible. Besides that the app is on the right track except it’s extremely expensive for what it is. Essentially, you could just download any vector app and import your own images and do the same thing that this app does for fraction of the cost. The editing in this app isn’t advanced at all, It’s very simple. The only benefit this has is there’s a lot of products you could add besides that the app is nowhere worth the cost as you could simply do the work on many other free apps, there is no AI features that detect, move or delete backgrounds or corners or objects that other apps have. You can’t even tilt the the products you’d like to put in the project, it’s essentially a super basic resize crop function. If you have just a few items placed down, it’s very hard to select through them. There’s a long list of improvements and feature is needed before I would even consider paying $30 a year for this. If this app costed $10 a year I might buy it definitely not worth the cost currently. It’s way to basic for a professional or even an amateur looking to do any sort of real design.

Three major issues

I love design and have used several architectural apps for building houses, so when it came time to design my garden I tried iScape. The functionality took a bit to get used to, but was fairly user friendly for beginners. I noticed three major issues. One, no auto save. I found this out the hard way after spending about an hour totally rebuilding my garden and coming back after dinner to the last manually saved point. The other was plant sizes. There is no ruler or grid. You can make a plant appear to be a few inches tall or bigger than your house, even if the largest size that particular plant can ever grow is 24”. So I found myself going back and forth to Google checking all of the plant mature sizes over and over to make sure I was making them visually true to size. I also had some issues with the plant colors. If you want a red yarrow, but the database has yellow, you can try to manipulate the color, but it changes the entire plant color so you can end up with an alien looking plant. So this is fun for entertainment, but I’m canceling before the trial is up.

Not for Pros as Described

I think this could be a fun app if you own an iPad and want to play around with a project for your home, but it’s a waste of time if you’re a pro. I can’t believe no developer has seized the market for pros looking to do some light duty design on the iPad. If pro use wasn’t mentioned in the description (or it were free) I wouldn’t have given it a two star rating so if you’re a DIYer it may be a better experience for you then it was for me.Suggestions that would make this a much better experience drafting something up on the fly in front of a client in the field: allow markup within the app and the use of a finger or, even better, Apple Pencil. I would imagine that would be really easy to integrate into the app (but I’m not a developer). Secondly, give your paying clients an adequate plant database (without having to upload a bunch of photos, for approval, by myself) labeled by a common name and the botanical name with the search feature. The names are a mess. I searched for a Pieris japonica / andromeda as the first plant for my first ‘design’ with this app, and it wasn’t there. I think that’s a pretty darn common plant in high production in the majority of the US.If those changes are made I’d be happy to try a subscription again (I used the trial for a few days) and give an updated rating.

Four stars for the pro version 0 for the free one

It is hard to find professionals when you live in a rural area sometimes, so for the first time I am having to try my hand at landscaping the front of my house. There is a free version but the limitations are so many that it is essentially useless. However there is a 7 day free trial. If you have a lot of ground to cover or several areas, it is worth it to just pay for a month. It will save you time and money especially if, like me, you tend to over purchase plants. The only feature that I wish it had or maybe it does and I haven’t figured out how best to use it, is that I wish you could put in the zone and have it just pull up plants that do well in that zone. I have no use for palm trees in Missouri. Other than that, i am perfectly happy to pay by the month to save money on the project overall. If you’re a pro, the software would be a great tool to show your customers.

Great app

I love the app as I’m a landscape designer and it’s always a struggle to explain your vision to clients without showing them pictures. When I show them the iScape renders, they love it. And I love that you can add your own image to the database like a clients playground set they’re looking to buy but want to see how it looks placed in the landscape. Editing your own image is tricky but it’s a great feature when it works. And my app always crashes when I try to upload my own images which is frustrating so I reach out to customer service for help. And Diana has been awesome with responding back to messages within 24 hours or sooner, much appreciated when you’re trying to meet a deadline. I’m hoping they beef up their landscape database with high quality image, right now it’s a mixture of high resolution digital images and photographs of the plants which could look weird when putting a design together. All in all, love the app and I’m sticking around for their upgrades. Thanks!!

Needs cheaper options

There needs to be a mid-tier price range. I'm thinking about getting into a design career, whether it be indoor or outdoor design... I'm not sure yet. I got extremely excited when I found this app, especially for the AR mode. I felt I'd finally be able to test my skills and see how I feel redesigning my yard (a former Japanese Garden that's seen better days...). I was blown away when I saw the ONLY asking price was $30 a month or $300 a year... Now I do feel the app is worth it to the right person, it definitely holds its value it's very top notch... But my issue is at just how little you get access to with the free option. There are only 29 objects TOTAL. That includes furniture, trees, and bushes. That's not possible to work with. I don't actually work in this line of work and want to use this for personal use/entertainment. The price just simply does not work for me. Not at all. And it really is unfortunate because I don't think there's another app on the store anywhere like it.Look up a game called "house flipper" on PC. I've dumped MANY hours into that game. This could very easily take influence and benefit from that game, especially with a one time payment of some sort.

Overpriced toy

This app is easy to use, unlike some other garden apps I test drove, but the trade off is that it is really just a toy. You can’t do much with the free version (unless your garden has fewer than 10 plants in it, in which case you probably don’t need an app to keep track of them), so I sprang for one month of the pay version to play around with. This provided some mild entertainment for a couple of hours, particularly because of the cool feature that lets you take a photo of your existing landscape and add plants to it. But, ultimately, it is just not a useful tool. The in-app plant catalog is so limited that I had to identify surrogates for virtually everything I wanted, and the lack of any sizing function meant it took a lot of fiddling around to make similarly tall plants appear about the same height. Even this step involved referencing other sources, as the in-app plant descriptions tended toward the sparse side. The only reason I think anyone would want to keep an ongoing subscription to this is because they forgot to tell the App Store to discontinue it (which is, unsurprisingly, not as straightforward a process as it should be).
