Ratings and reviews

Can't do anything before handing over your personal info. Then, you realize that 1. you can't export your builds; they're forever stuck in the app. And 2. you can't access your builds, the ones it doesn't randomly delete, because it often gets stuck on the loading screen. If you switch apps for any reason, it forces a reload which freezes without fail, forcing you to restart (better hope you hit save). Pretty sloppy execution, to be honest. The back arrow always exits instead of going back.

if you're looking for an app to make blueprint for furniture, this app is a chef's kiss. It is what I was looking for. No ads even. I would've understood an ads atleast when the app opens to sustain the app but no. They're generous enough to keep the app clean and amazing. It's very easy to use for people with no experience drafting and shi. To more materials and decorative add ons in the future🫶🏻.

I like that they have joinery tools. However, the UI needs some serious improvement to function properly on mobile. The rotations are clanky and parts of the pop ups (like the angle box in the cut tool) disappear outside the screen depending on how you rotate. It's also very tedious to place accurately.
