4.0 out of 5 stars Customer Service is an issue
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2018
The program itself was easy to use and I was able to use it from the start. From the week I was able to use the program I would have given this five stars. I was really surprised at just how simple it was to get up and running. This was when I could run the program.

The program locked itself following an OS update. The software believes it is already active on a separate computer. I purchased the Mac edition for my desk top Mac, which is my only Apple PC. I followed all of the help and FAQs with no luck. Even after registering my software it does not show up in my online account, which is where I am supposed to deactivate any computer the software is installed on. I sent an email to the customer service desk a week ago today requesting assistance. I have not received any type reply from customer service. I sent a second email today in hopes of getting some assistance.

Again, when first purchased it worked great. I even spent an additional $40 purchasing additional catalogues to help with a remodeling project. I am close being third completed when the program locks itself. Totally understand software piracy and the need to protect illegal copies on different computers. I would not even mind if it locked up, as long as I was able to get a response and the assistance to get back running.

Again, five stars for the software itself. I enjoyed using it when it worked. Customer service would get less than one star if it was an option. (Perhaps Amazon should consider adding a "customer service" rating in addition to product rating.)

Update: A few days after I sent the second email I went ahead and upgraded to the next level. I have had no issues and the program is working great. Two days after upgrading I finally was contacted to resolve the original issue which was no longer an issue since the upgrade. The lady was very nice and stated they were sorry for the delay in responding. I have updated to 4 stars since the software is so easy to use. I left the fifth star off due to the time spent in limbo and having to upgrade to resolve the original issue. I would recommend this software.

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2018
This is a very sophisticated program and I'm sure the experts for this type of app would probably love it. But for the average person ( or even above average person ) it is extremely difficult to use. I have tried taking as many tutorials as I could and actually ( and stupidly) printed almost the whole Reference Manual. You cannot read a paragraph in this manual without being referred to another page which in turn refers you to still another page and so on to infinity. You cannot get a refund for this $99 program and I wish I had not purchased it. I can see why there is not a trial program.

Super easy to use and I haven’t used any software like this before. Easy to setup the layout, get measurements, add accessories, etc. I used it to get a permit when finishing my basement. Highly recommend!

1.0 out of 5 stars No Auto-Save? This is the most worthless overpriced software that exists
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2018
After working on a project for FOUR hours the program crashed randomly while selecting a material for a retaining wall. It certainly would have to have auto-saved at some point right? NO! What a worthless overpriced terrible piece of junk. Also, how can you require a user to upgrade to the $500 version just be able to to select multiple objects and edit them? While building a home you have to individually select each wall to change the outside from siding to brick. What a pain.
