This one star rating is not because the app is not a great app, in fact this is definitely a powerful tool to create plans and share to more robust applications for further development and completion. But when I have already paid for many plans on the app platform, which was required in order to get the pdf etc and to share and to export, and now you require me to pay the second time for something that i have already paid for, that’s extortion. This is where i kiss this app goodbye and use something else like 5d, which has a much better 3D rendering of plans. Once before you would just pay for the plan you design for like $2.99, or you could pay for multiple plans for a higher amount which was entirely reasonable, seeing that this is not a app that i use on a daily basis, drawing plans is actually a hobby for me, now they’re forcing you to subscribe on a monthly basis for something that i do not use that regularly, perhaps they have changed their business model, but the option should remain to be able to pay for plans individually, not everyone uses it as a daily driver. But to pay for plans, and then the app shut you out from the plans that you have created, is extortion.

The developer stated in a response on Feb 8 that “with the two free plans, you can unlock any of your old plans, up to two, and have normal free user access on your device to all magicplan features for those projects.” This is completely untrue. You do not get to choose what two plans are unlocked. It chooses for you and you cannot change them. Lots of work I can no longer access. Don’t give money to a company that changes what they initially offered to customers. It’s fine if you want to change things moving forward but how dare you lock prior plans made before these new policies. Your claim that this was to provide free users a more comprehensive experience, is ridiculous. There’s not a user on earth that would choose what you are now offering in the free version over what you did before. I was happy to pay for floor plan bonuses like exporting and 3D on the ones I wanted. Your forced subscription plans demonstrate shady businesses practices.

I’m an architectural designer and my firm does many remodels. Part of this process is drawing As Builts in Revit which we then use to design. I’ve used professional laser scanning services before which were accurate to within .01 inches and captured literally everything. It plugged into Revit and if I wanted to know exactly where and what size and attic access panel was, for example, I can go into the laser scan point cloud and confidently measure it. Magic Plan, on the other hand, doesn’t give me this confidence. It’s measurements are way too far off to be used professionally and I don’t feel comfortable basing a design off it. If there is a lot of furniture or the room is messy (which happens to be the case sometimes with clients) Magic Plan does a poor job of locating corners and walls. It doesn’t take advantage of the device’s LiDAR Scanner to capture as many things as I thought it might. I wish it worked more like the Contour KAARTA.
