Good App that needs adjustments

I have found this app quite useful when designing my very roughly designed “future home”, there is however a few adjustments that REALLY need to be fixed.
- I get rooms covered in black when looking from a birds eye view (not sure why, but it’s annoying)
- when looking in 3D on magicplan it won’t let me move to a specific area i.e. bedroom when zooming in to see what the final touches are made/or needs fixing, it will just zoom into the centre (PLEASE FIX THIS, it makes life a little more easier to know what needs to be fixed, added or removed)
- is there a way to be able to add the ground floor and 1st floor together to see what the end result will look like
- and can there be some way to add external bricks/other exterior walls, roof, guttering, pavement, cement, plants, shop sign, shop furniture etc to see (again) what the house/building will look like

Please take this into consideration as it would help not only myself but others that use the app as well

Developer Response ,

Hi Clairey, thank you for your feedback.
-When you see a black area in the 3D model it means that two rooms overlap, you should place them next to each other in order to see them properly.
-In order to zoom in to a specific area while in 3D you have to use both your hands, keep the screen stable and zoom in, also from the Cloud you can easily move around the 3D with your mouse (use both right and left button to move or zoom in/out.
-You can not display the floors one on top of the other, as magicplan does not create building plans but floor plans.
-you can add exterior objects through the category Outdoors or if you create a land survey based on your existing plan.

I recommend you to write us at support@magic-plan.com for more information and details that will help you out use the app in the best possible way.

Amazing app - needs more subscription options

I have truly loved using this app. The floor plans have such detail and the usability is much better than the other similar apps I’ve tried. I can see how users vary from homeowners to professionals, it’s a great tool. It would easily get 5* from me if there were other options for subscription.
I don’t need to create unlimited floor plans, but want to be able to create more than 2. A $15pm basic account subscription price is expensive, especially when you don’t need what it’s offering - I pay less for streaming services that I use daily.
Please add in different subscription options, and I’d happily pay a subscription fee.

From Free to $$$

Disappointing that this app went from a good free app to having a purchase, to having a subscription service to keep using it. They even locked me out of my original plans I had made. This has happened over time and as an original user, the restriction makes me feel like I want to use it less and less. It now feels like a money grab from the developers and considering I am using it less now, there’s no justification for paying for this ongoing. I understand the business model though (for more professional users), and could only suggest maybe the ‘hobby’ option could be a pared back version without estimation functions and only 5 plans etc to keep it free. Other than that it’s a really good app.
