Yard Planner App Reviews

I read the many negative reviews but decided to give it a try because Ive often found theyre not nearly as bad as people write about. This one is really bad - I understand that it is a very basic landscape design app but you have to PAY EXTRA FOR GRASS!!! That is just an insult.

I never minded paying for an useful and practical app; however, when an app is advertised as "free", the seller should at least forewarn the buyer that additional features must be purchased! If Im gonna be purchasing additional features in order to make this app work, I might as well buy a more sophisticated app!

Oh my, what a waste of money! Worst choice I think Ive ever made. Totally not user friendly, inaccurate plant designs, very slow, oh my "I want my money back! Please dont waste any of your time or money!

For all the naysayers, look at your alternatives. What other 2 D apps are there for home landscape that dont cost a ton? Really these folks need to keep improving and working on this because it has potential. And for 3 whole dollars I can pretty much design all I want. Im a software person and I understand how much work it takes to get something like this up and running. Im honestly surprised this niche of apps is not more saturated with 2D design tools because they are very useful.

Really happy with this choice for assisting me with new projects thank you!

Free version is a waste of time. No idea if the $10 version is better but the free one wasnt worth the battery life to download.

If I wanted to view someone elses template, I would have continued google searching. At least give your clients a taste of what you want them to purchase with every little tap of the screen. There isnt a preview of what we can be capable of. Send out something to get our attention, please.

The free version is a waste. If you want to spend $10 and see what it does, this may be the app for you.

Beware the hype! Primitive and buggy, instructions are skimpy - but you dont find that out until youve paid a ridiculous price. What is the point of the map feature if you cant import the picture? And wheres the Save button? Ive used a better, cheaper design app - Im deleting this one. What a waste of my money.

Great idea, but halfway through my designs, just as they start to get more complex, with 5 or 6 layers and laying in the gardens, the app crashes and when I open the design again, only 1/3 of the original size appears. Half of the yard is simply cut off! Please fix this, it could be a really useful tool if it wasnt so glitchy. Thanks for making this app!

I paid $9.99 for the map feature that is of no use. I feel ripped off.

You cant do much landscape design without plants. They dont give you any. You have to pay extra for everything. What a stupid app! Dont waste your time.

This app is pointless! Unless you intend on spending $3 per plant, shrub, and bush EACH! All you can do is structures, driveways/paths, and patio furniture! Only trees are free... Absolutely pointless in regards to designing your landscape plants!

I upgraded to the complete version which is the only way to get it to work and after paying I realized there is no way to customize the lot size. My lot is NOT SQUARE. Theres no way to make a custom lot size which makes this app a worthless ripoff.

This is truly a great concept application for Landscape design, I purchased all features for $14.99 and I am 60% happy with the purchase so far ... BUT, it crashes constantly (possibly a memory hogging app, as I had nothing else open while using). Also, there are no features for adding plant beds of different shapes with selections of mulch, pine needles, gravel, or other plant bed base materials. Some of the other reviews also exposed problems with the app functionality. To my knowledge, no update has been released in a while. More stuctures, more plants, more walkways, more colors, more objects, more details, more features needed to make this Awesome! The hardscape features should allow for product color changes to view the differences and make the selecting of the appropriate color of product easier. Irrigation placement & design, along with Drainage options such as box drains, channel drains, & even french drains; would also be a welcomed addition.

You cant scale elements by typing in measurements. You cant even customize the size and shape of your space. There is only one elevation - birds eye view. Clunky; too basic interface, no fine controls. Not ready for prime time, and certainly not worth $15. Youre better off using graph paper.

Even after purchasing the full load of palettes and tools, this app is barely where it should for free. Try to add a house and then rescale it to square from rectangle...nope. How about a yard bigger than 45 x 70 feet...nope. A grid in the same scale as your measure...nope. Nice looking graphics that, in the end, serve no useful purpose in design.

this app is spectacular and I literally have exact visions of what I want and I can draw a pretty accurate idea
