Floorplans is a powerful iPad app that lets you create floor plans on the go. It features an easy-to-use and intuitive interface that allows you draw walls, add furniture, and more.
Creating a floor plan is a breeze: simply draw the walls with your finger and add furniture with a tap of a button. You can also make detailed adjustments to item you add to your floor plan including dimensions, finishes, and flipping horizontally and vertically. This is awesome for people who are using Floorplans to help redecorate their home.
As you work on your floor plan, you can zoom in and see great detail. All the measurements will also be automatically calculated and added to the floor plan.
In addition to furniture and structural item, Floorplans lets you add labels, name rooms, and add flooring to individual rooms. Unfortunately, if you have an open-concept design, simply designate "entry ways" to split up rooms with different flooring. Though, if your entry ways aren't between walls, you're out of luck and can't separate the rooms. This is difficult for open-concept kitchens since you can't have an entry way between wall and counter.
In addition to creating new floor plans from scratch, you can also import and covert PDF and JPG files into Floorplans to be edited and manipulated with the app. It will also calibrate the dimensions of imported floor plans.
The good
- Import existing files from PDF or JPG, including sketches
- Calibrate dimensions of imported floor plans
- Create new floor plans from scratch
- Draw angled and curved walls
- Add furniture and structural elements
- Edit dimensions of items
- Export as PDF, JPG, and Floorplans native format
- AirPrint support

- Dropbox support
The bad
- Not enough items (no bathroom counter with two sinks, for example)
- Entry ways must be placed between walls.
- Can't specify which items are on top when stacking items
The bottom line
I go through phases of obsession with HGTV, and that's what prompted me to download Floorplans. I've had a blast designing my dream home with it and can see how professional designers would find Floorplans to be a valuable asset.
