Amikasa - 3D Floor Planner with Augmented Reality

Although I’m new to home design, I gotta say this app is pleasing to the eye however as a new designer I’d like to have the possibility to explore my many ideas and see them come to life but this app is more or less limited. Being an open minded person I stand to be corrected. Ex...I tried to create a sunken living room and the possibility doesn’t exist. I also tried to create a raised kitchen that was possible but I couldn’t furnish it because I couldn’t elevate the appliances and counters above floor level. These are just some amongst the many features I think should be added. The user should have the possibility to create. Nevertheless, I still love the app but make love it even more. Get creative.

I LOVE this app! First of all, it's FREE. Totally and completely free - no ads, no push to have an account where they could send tons of junk, no "limited" access. It's full access for all! I am by no means an interior designer, but this app has allowed me to visualize my whole house and make decisions on what to buy/where to place items. It's a life saver! The app is pretty easy to use. It's different from other apps in that it has a very realistic feel by using 3D and augmented reality. I actually feel like I'm walking through my own house! There is a good selection of furniture/decor options. Obviously there could always be more, but there is enough to find something that will work.

I like that it's easy to use, though it's not very accurate when planning a space. It doesn't account for the walls needing to be 20 cm thick, so you actually lose space when building. Also frustrating is the stairs don't have measurements, or values that tell you how steep they are. You can't put anything under them, build walls under them...or choose how many steps you want. It would be nice to have human models to see how the space relates to human sizes. No second or third floors... There's no way to draw your plot of land to put the room on. No way to elevate the house's base. The custom cube is handy, but again, it's missing its measurements. Also the walls aren't locked. I keep moving them by mistake. I wound love to return to build mode if I need to leave the decorate mode. I think for a free app, it's really good, and easy to use, especially since it's ad free. If you charged like $5 for a really good designing app with the above features, I'd pay for it.

I love the idea of this app. It’s visually very nice but that’s where it ends. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get the room dimensions set up along with the windows and doors. I felt victorious when I got it all set and moved on to the furniture. Now, I’m not sure about all the reviews that rave about the options because there are frankly very little. The brands that are preloaded are minimal. I didn’t see an area that you could create your own custom sized furniture and I couldn’t resize the options they give you - plus, they don’t even give you the dimensions. So, what's the point then? After tinkering with the furniture I am now over the app and am looking for something that will give me what I was looking for - a room planner.

I liked the look of the app and the user interface was simple and intuitive. I was able to quickly build a floor plan based on my home. However, I was disappointed by the limited number of furnishings I could place in the floor plan. All of the furnishings seem to come from vendors and it's a great idea, but there just aren't enough options yet. For example, there were only a three or four couches available to select from and none had the dimensions or resembled the type of couch I was going to use in my room. This was also the case with lamps, chairs, etc. It would be nice to at least have the option of building a simple custom furnishing so that at least the dimensions could be correct.
