User Reviews for Live Home 3D - House Design

was my favorite app but the recent update made me hate the app

I’ve been using this app for a year. It was great. First week of downloading the free app made me upgrade to pro features because this app is really great. You can import textures or furnitures from the 3D Trimble warehouse and you can even upload a picture and use it as a texture. Unlimited floors (if you using pro feature) and you can even make your own templates. There are a few bugs like the app suddenly closes for no reason, or I can’t save the project even though I have plenty of storage and my phone is working good (I actually have games that requires higher storage and graphics but it’s not laggy), but I can work with this annoying problems. The thing is that the new update is really annoying. You can no longer select all identical textures and replace them with new texture. Now you have to change them one by one. The app crashes every 3-5 minutes, when opening past projects (a week or month ago) they are just black when opening in 3D but you can see the project in 2D and 2D elevation. I thought uninstalling and installing the app will resolve the bugs but NO. It became worst. I can’t even work on a new project and import objects because it just crashes every time I do something. Now I am done with this app and I don’t think I will use this again.

great for personal use

i absolutely love this app, whenever my creative senses are tingling, i just open the app an decorate a room or two. i wouldn’t recommend this for professional use because there are many glitchy items and some items, like rugs, aren’t available. however, this is a REAL design game, it’s not like those that claim you get to design a house but instead you have to play puzzles and only have two or three furniture choices. here are my suggestions and flaws with this game: 1. it’s pretty hard to rotate items, i wish there was a button of some sorts that could rotate the item. 2. some items are too big or too small and there should be some way to change the size. 3. the trees are a bit odd, instead of being 3D like everything else, they are almost like 2D images that just kind of follow you around. 4. it’s pretty sensitive. when trying to move an item a tiny bit, it moves A LOT, and same for when you’re trying to move forwards. and 5. i wish that items didn’t go through walls. it makes it pretty hard to put an item against the wall, and sometimes the trees go into the house. although this may seem like a lot of flaws, i HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this app!

Crash and freeze

I like this app. I really do. BUT it won’t let me love it. I purchased the first upgrade but no additional libraries. The aggravation is from crashes and freezing and it happens way too often. It will crash when I am still drawing outside walls only, no doors, windows, etc. It will crash literally any time at random in 2D, 3D, with or without furnishings, details or colors and to boot, will completely freeze for no reason. When it does, I have to not just close the app, but power down my iPad and power it back up or the app will not work at all. I have worked with support, who has been responsive, but without success. I have done everything asked with no change in performance. They want me to send a project. When I draw one wall and it crashes before I can draw another, what the hell is there to send? And I only have one project going. I don’t dare try multiple projects. This is a serious problem and I’m obviously not the first. When it does work half way properly, it’s very nice but at this time not worth the trouble and aggravation it causes.

Exactly what I was looking for!

I’ve been looking for a home design app with as much compatibility for objects and textures. You can import 3D Models from Trimble, which opens up the possibilities to infinity! There’s still one issue with it though - the textures don’t import correctly and often just come in grey. When I try to edit them, it only adds the base color of that texture instead of the entire texture. This is probably a simple software fix that I am sure they are aware of. There might be a complicated work around, but ultimately should be fixed and easier to use within the app. I like that the list of textures on an object is organized in a tree, but it’s also not intuitive. If you were wanting to change all of the textures of a certain texture that’s already applied, you can’t sort the textures to find all of the same to change at once. This component needs some reworking on the UX side. Other than those minor complaints, I love this app! You can export into other apps to render with realistic renders.

Wow!

What an amazing app that works exactly the way you would expect it to work. So simple to use and so powerful. I bought a house to flip and was able to use this to build out the home with all the correct measurements. Still waiting to close on the house and I already have an amazing new look planned for my flipper all thanks to this app. And being able to walk through a 3D version of the house to bring my vision to life... holy wow! So cool! Worth every single penny and more! You can also switch to blueprint mode and you’ll have a very accurate blueprint that I can actually use! I kept playing with this app just wondering WHEN I would find an error... it just couldn’t work this well, I thought. There has to be a catch, I thought. I guess not. Just a great app that deserves every penny. The people I showed my work to even asked me how I knew how to make architectural blueprints like that - the thing is... I don’t know anything about that stuff but this app makes everyone look like a professional. Great job! I’m buying every package just because the developers deserve it. Thanks so much for solving my problem with such a powerful and simple to use app.

Love it, but pricy

I love this app and I’ve been using it for a few years now, not for real life projects but for visual references for my OC’s homes, I have the standard version and it works great, but it’s really pricy, you pay 9.99 for the standard, then 9.99 for pro features, and now it says something about a 9.99 subscription, which I could be wrong about the subscription, or you can buy the whole deal for 20 dollars, which I guess is reasonable? They have made the best app for this kind of thing on the AppStore, I love the controls and the way you can navigate 3D spaces like you were there, the new metals are better then ever and has definitely improved a project I’m working on that involves a lot of metal walls.Suggestions:Could you add a skybox editor? So that you could add your own photos to the sky, I enjoy creating sci-fi apartments and it would be nice and helpful to “see” a sci-fi city out my windows. Or a mountainous scene for a home high in the mountains.This is a really helpful app, the controls are great, the UI is easy to navigate and it’s actually an overall calming app, I would recommend (:Edit:Thank you for the clarification on the subscription, I didn’t quite understand how it worked before, it does sound more reasonable now. But I have to ask, does that mean I won’t be able to just buy the pro version? I’ll have to get a subscription for it? I’m glad you’ve noted my suggestions and thanks for the prompt response, this app is amazing.

I have miss feelings

I like this app a lot but at the same time it gives me a lot of headaches. If you using this app professionally you have to be careful because it crashes a lot and sometimes you have to redo the work all over again. Some of the 3D ware house items don’t download sometimes or disappear once you place them. I hope they could fix the crashing issues so I could do my work more pleasant . I almost give up on this thing Between the crashing and also getting freeze and not able to reload for a while is a big problem. I just got this app a couple days ago. I followed all the instructions like turning lights off and low quality off while working in 3D BUT nothing works keeps crashing and furniture disappearing every 2 minutes or so,.if these issues won’t fix I will ask for my money back and will keep searching for another app that’s works smoothly.Update I contacted the developer and they said there is nothing wrong from their end. I think it must be because I tried to use the same app on a different device and gave me the same issue so there is no way it can be fixed. Be careful before you purchased this app because for me it only last for a few days after that it stopped working.

Calming

I really do love this app, I’ve always wanted a mobile app like this one where you can create and decorate a building/room. Although, there are a few things I’d like to suggest. Like another reviewer had mentioned, the app is missing some items like rugs. I'd also like to see ceiling fans, or just fans in general implemented into the app. Also, there are templates to choose from, but as far as I know, you can only choose one room template, not multiple. I’d like to be able to choose multiple room templates and be able to put them together to form a home from them, like in the Sims. I only have the free version, so these features may be available in a version you have to pay for, but I’m just giving out suggestions in case these aren’t in the game. Thanks for reading :) (also, another reviewer had mentioned him receiving headaches as the app tended to crash frequently which made him have to redo his work, but while I used the app, it hadn’t crashed on me. One time it did freeze, but I just waited for a little bit and it was back to working fine. Just thought I’d mention.)

Completely frustrating

I am changing my review from a 3 star to a 5 star review now. I have to say I was completely confused and had a difficult time at first learning the app. In fact, I’m still learning. There’s so much you can do with this app. The possibilities are amazing! What really changed my outlook and rating was how wonderful and quick the developers always get back to you. They have been so extremely helpful for someone like me who didn’t have a clue about architecture or technical stuff. I love knowing that if I ever need more advice, they will always be friendly and there to help. They deserve a 5 star rating! I am really loving the house plans I have come up with! We are literally building our own home off grid, so seeing these house plans especially in 3D has really made a huge difference for my husband to understand and put into perspective. He can finally know exactly what I have in mind and I believe with a detailed plan like this, it will save us from making the wrong decisions since we get to see an actual image of our house before we build it. Also, it’s much easier to use a tablet or PC with this app. Thank you so much!

Best app, though slightly unstable with larger files

This is the best app out there. There’s nothing else like it, and $20 is a steal with this. You can model 3D anything with the ability to import from Trimble 3D Warehouse (just right click and “merge” the item to be able to adjust sizing). The only flaw is its tendency to crash with more complex projects. But it can handle them for a time. The desktop version doesn’t crash, and my iPhone can handle larger files than this on other (much less capable) apps. I’m not a programmer, but I suspect the issue is the cache. Unfortunately Apple lacks the feature of letting users delete the caches on apps without reinstalling (and losing tons of manual imports to the library in this case). However with some apps, the developers give users the option in-app to clear the cache, which helps performance significantly. Could that be added to a later edition of the app? It’s a feature I’d be willing to pay extra for and I don’t think I’m alone, as this is the only app that’s capable of making the kinds of projects I want to make. I do think that feature would allow the app to handle “heavier” projects and become even more capable.
