Design Home™: House Makeover Software

Absolutely love this app! Have tried the others, which seem childish compared to this one. Love the fact that you can earn more spending money/diamonds by completing actions or purchasing real life stuff, like today, I subscribed to Ipsy and earned almost 30k diamonds to spend on furniture/accessories. It’s nice to be able to get something in real life while getting something in game as well. I do have a few suggestions for developers, though. It would be nice to see more challenges for addicts like me who complete them quickly and have to wait ages for a new one to be released — or rooms where you can just play around with your inventory without permanently leaving it and without any prizes for designing — sometimes it’s just fun to play. Also, instead of having to wait to design a room in the homes by completing so many challenges, why not just open them up to be completed whenever? I think people would make more in-app purchases if they had access to rooms immediately. The only other suggestion I have is to add a filter for price when designing a room. Something to think about, though..you spend all your money/diamonds on pricey furniture for people and all you get in return is $500 ($2500 for the daily challenge)..I’d like to know which designer I can call who is going to foot the $20k bill for all of my furniture in real life, only getting $500 in return. =) All in all, fun app!

I have been playing for three weeks. This is so addictive. I even found myself shelling out $50 to buy diamonds so I can but different furniture to meet criteria. However right after I did that purchase my game froze and it has been stuck. I have gone through the troubleshooting advice and nothing. I sent a help question to them and have been waiting with no response. I hope I didn’t just get scammed out of money. I may have to dispute the payment. One suggestion would be that I could sort the store by price range. Also a security in the buy with diamonds. A couple times I have bumped or while scrolling bought an item I didn’t want and no undo button. Will someone please contact me to help unfreeze my game. UPDATE: I have changed my rating to 4 stars because the company finally after 3 days contacted me to fix the glitch. However I still would like to see some changes. Sorting by price and double security or an undo button when I buy furniture etc with diamonds. I have accidentally bumped a button and purchased unwanted items but could not undo. Also, I agree with others voting is unfair, if it says to design a French style room I sort by French but I see people with 5 stars that didn’t. An outdoor space I designed with outdoor furniture (I had to buy to meet design), I received a 4.67 but the top designs used inside furniture outside.

I have never been into video games before, and I am completely addicted to this game!!! I cannot stress this enough! I absolutely love it! However, if I am to be completely honest, I agree that earning cash/diamonds is too difficult. If I’m trying to stay within a design requirement and spending $1000+ (on a low end design) but only receive $500 for the design, that seems off. However, I saw someone else suggest earning diamonds for extra voting, which I agree would be an excellent way to incentivize more. Trading unused/unwanted items in would be great! Also once you hit a criteria level (plants, art, table stuff) you should get to use that unlimited, you already earned it. I also read how people don’t use the criteria mentioned in the description and the designs all end up being only neutral colors and monotonous. I suggest being more aggressive with item requirements, such as more color item requirements per design, and mix them up so that people can learn color theory while they play. I am so tired of voting for only black or white furnishings...I want to see more COLOR please!!! One last item...more challenges-more often, with higher rewards, one suggestion would be if a design wins 4.0 or higher and they use an element in their design that uses diamonds, then they earn those diamonds as a reward. But overall, I FREAKING LOVE this game!!! Thank you!!! Bravo!!! Keep tweaking!
