Deko: AI Home Design & Remodel

Recently my wife and I bought a 250 year old colonial farm house and we have so many ideas but lots of back and forth. This app helps with the leg work and gives us time we would have lost not having this amazing app to help us see the ideas in our heads

First, let me say I bought the pro version. Accidentally purchasing a year instead of a week. I tried to receive my money back from Apple, but they declined it. I canceled my purchase with an hours of accidentally purchasing. I canceled my subscription before I was even charged by Apple. I explained to Apple that I did not want a year subscription. They refused to refund my money and now I’m stuck with an app that I don’t like that has no real features for a year. Second, as I mentioned, this app is useless. All you do is add a picture of your house and it generates a picture. There’s no option to add anything or subtract anything or any kind of suggestions. Half the time it doesn’t even recognize certain portions of a wall. In one of the pictures I have an ombre wall because of the sunlight. Be careful if you have any kind of vaulted ceiling because it won’t recognize that either. Don’t bother using this if you have an angled wall or anything outside of a normal square room with 8 foot ceilings. and I hope all of your furniture is put in exact place that you like it because there won’t be any suggestions of how it could look better and it will just generate slightly different furniture in the exact same space. Save your $40 and look for a different app.

The ad I saw for this on Twitter gives the impression that the user can choose what they want changed and what they want it changed to. It shows the walls being highlighted (presumably by the user—it looks like a finger is tracing the area) then choosing a new paint color, the floor being highlight and changed to different flooring, etc. But that’s not actually what happens at all in this app. Instead, after you upload an image of a room, the app generates a whole new room, without any input from the user except what budget the user has and whether or not they want to DIY build any furniture. I picked $500 (the lowest option) and no DIY furniture. I never got the opportunity to tell the app if I wanted the walls changed another color, the flooring replaced… Nothing like that. Instead it generated an entirely different room with a whole new fireplace, new flooring, all new furniture…. Nobody is going to be able to do all that for $500! Not only did I have no desire for an entirely new room with every single element from paint color to fireplace to furniture completely replaced, it didn’t even ask me what style I wanted this new room to be in. I’m a home stager and I was hoping I could use this app to show clients what their room would look like after making some minor cosmetic changes, like wall color. Maybe the pro version is different, but no way I’m paying for it without being able to try those features first (if they even exist).
