too slow - even on a new computor
pauloyatisApril 30, 2012
Pros
looks professional - IPaD version works well.
Cons
To Slow, too difficult to learn (maybe becuse it's slow). Poor customer support. Pigin English instructions... waste of money.
Summary
Don't but it!
Not Free "Trail Version" Cannot Save Work
MichaelInVAFebruary 7, 2012
Pros
You can type in the measurements
Cons
Not Free, it says you cannot save your work because its a trial version
Summary
Waste of time and disk space
Buggy and hard to use
revettNovember 18, 2011
Pros
The 3D renderings are good.
Cons
Very hard to learn. The manual is in pidgin English and difficult to follow. Parts of the program keep popping up in French. The program crashed on me twice. Objects keep randomly disappearing. Joining rooms and walls is not intuitive. After three days full time on this product attempting to design a simple house, I have given up in frustration, and I am by no means a computer ignoroid. It is not worth the money (40 euros) and they give no money back guarantee.
Summary
Generally a crappy, incomplete product. The vendor needs to spend serious time and money bringing it up to a basic standard of usability.
It works, but not effectively
primedltOctober 6, 2011
Pros
It works if you got a great video card and/or memory.
Cons
First, it's slow! It takes approximently 4 minutes to load on my computer. I think it is because it hogs a regulary video card. Maybe if you has a super game card, it might be better. I had better luck with AutoCad. Second, it has a 5 room limit.
Summary
Unless you have the lastest in game video cards and plan on a 5 room max house, don't bother with this program.
Great program - Set to English and US measurements.

Pros
Professional look
Cons
Save function disabled
Summary
piss poor
everett1aJanuary 25, 2011
Pros
not one darn thing
Cons
everything it claims
Summary
downloads, or says it does. wont install, wants to update to pro. unless you read French, its a waste of time anyway. Hey Cnet/CBS, how about checking this stuff out before you host this garbage? Might be a way to improve your scores too.
the worst cad program i have ever used
laffi51January 7, 2011
Pros
nothing good at all start up screen looks good but that all
Cons
the program is slow it freezes and i have a new computer so i doubt thats the issue had to download it twice for it to work.
Summary
this is a s&*t program waist of my time waiting for it to download
just amaizing
aliciaadsrockDecember 8, 2010
Pros
My friends refered me to this program. It's totally awesome. Easy to work with and just fun.
Cons
There are absolutely nothing bout this program not to like.
Summary
Bad due to poor installation management (unreviewable?)
ThufirHawatMarch 15, 2010
Pros
Seems great for a one-time "granny-flat" in the back yard. However...
Cons
A 203MB download, then another 27MB for DirectX during installation; and THEN only do you find out your graphics card is "unsuitable." Surely a small app to check the graphics card BEFORE all this effort and expense is within their capabilities!
Summary
One reviewer found a 4-room limit that was never mentioned. Yet another found that tutorials were only available in French. Having re-read the description by the publisher against the background of my own experience, together with those previous reviews, I cannot avoid the impression that there is at least some misrepresentation in the label "Price: Free." Perhaps the app is all they say it is but given the above, one has to wonder...
not sure ...!
Sasha20345February 1, 2010
Pros
i think its a good program
Cons
but it wont open up on my PC i think its coz i need a newer version or an up-2-date graphics card.
Summary
i dont know, i couldnt open it
