Interior Design for iPad 

Price: $9.99

Interior Design for iPad by Black Mana Studios enables you to design a house to exactly the specifications you want, with thousands of items to choose from and an array of customization options to manipulate rooms. It was updated on March 29, 2013. 

Begin by drawing a 2D plan of your building, bring it to life in high-quality 3D graphics, and then explore it in real time.

User Experience
This app is surprisingly easy to use, with all of the menu items laid out very clearly in a way that makes sense.

Starting your projects on the drawing board allows you to shape and design your house in a 2D format, but the exciting part is when you switch to the 3D view. Shaping your rooms and inserting items is child’s play, and being able to walk through the building in real time makes designing a lot easier, not to mention more interesting.

Features
This app enables you to easily construct your rooms with expert precision by utilizing a drag-and-drop system that will help to guide your items into place. There are more than 3300 items to personalize your projects with, and you can also design buildings with balconies, patios, and multiple floors.

Various shadow and lighting effects really make for an impressive view, and Interior Design for iPad has an integrated rendering feature that enables you to fully render your projects from within the app.

With this app, you can literally walk around your building in real time, enabling you to get a much better feel for what the real thing will be like. The rooms you design can take any shape, and with the tools available you can move walls and manipulate edges and corners with ease.

Update Info
Interior Design for iPad is currently running on version 1.1.2. The latest update included an absolutely huge amount of extra content and bug fixes. Among some of the improvements were European HVAC Units, loads of landscaping items, and various improvements to the user-interface.

Customer Ratings and Feedback Comments
Interior Design for iPad currently has 111 customer ratings with an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars. Customer feedback has generally been quite positive, with users commenting on the great content included in the latest update. There does, however, appear to be a few issues with users actually downloading updates so hopefully the developer will respond promptly.
