The most I like about Lumion is easy to use and very friendly for beginner user so it doesn't take to long to learn about the software.

Easy handling and great graphic quality it delivers, ideal for rendering fast and with a large amount of objects.

Now, the Livesync feature is also a great real-time renderer to help the design process all the way through.

The ease of use of this software makes it truly unique, lumion is very easy for visual render, it's amazing software.

Doesn't fulfill my expectations on 3D renderings. You have to invest a lot on a great video card if you want to have a good experience.

Ease of use is the biggest selling point for Lumion. The built-in library is usually all you need for most visualization tasks and importing from Sketchup is incredibly easy and usually flawless.

Has demanding specs, but runs anyway. Confusing controls (no custom key binding).

A highly recomendable software with just very few and bearable cons and problems.

Makes the renderings so real I worry about getting sued if the contractor cant make it look at good as the picture.

It's disturbing to find 3 pages of palm trees and not a single edible plant.

It is a wonderful and fast program that does not cost much time, although there are some shortcomings. I wish for more success and development.

And it creates amazing Quality pictures for showing to clients, posters and all printable media.

The software has a big variety and collection of photorealistic materials to ease your work and improve the quality of output.

Lumion has some bad cases too which are I faced when I’m using it. Pricing (Lumion Pro is very expensive ).

Being able to use it in several languages is ideal, it has good tools to design, it is easy to use predesigned objects and with great diversity.

Ease of use and the ability to integrate into workflow quite easily. You can produce way faster than with traditional rendering softwares.

Great quality of textures and great quality of scenes. The best feature of this software is landscaping and the rendering of walkthrough.

Renderings turn out crisp, realistic, and beautiful. There are tons of customization/options to help make Rendering unique.

Also, its interface can be confusing sometimes.

Incredibly easy to produce high quality, visually attractive 3d modelling of models produced in both AutoCAD and SketchUp.

Fast rendering, very nice interface, it is fun, and feels bit like some kind of an upgraded gaming engine for architectural visualisation.

There are artifacts and flickering 90% of the time when exporting animations. There is no Ray Tracing, for this price of software that is unacceptable.

The cost of the full version is very high, you need to have a large RAM because the program is very heavy and runs slow. The option to undo is usually a problem.

We are always curious to know how our projects will look when ready and Lumion with its ability to reproduce projects in 3d videos helps us a lot with this.

I paid and in 5 minutes requested for refund as it is impossible to do my work. They refused to do this.

One of the best softwares in the market, can deliver high quality renderings, amazing photos, easy to use.

I like that its very intuitive and easy to use. I also like very much their support.

As an professional Architect, I highly recommend Planner 5D to my collogues and any other person who interested to buy this wonderful software, it will worth to work on Planner 5D.

If you are a E-Designer this is the perfect 3D interior design program.

I had an issue, and the support was very fast in responding, and very helpful. As a customer, I was very satisfied with the support I've received.

While straightforward and easy to use--90s software style--the best feature is the ability to switch from 2D to 3D. But that benefit is drowned out by the cons.

I love how it creates something for you. It helps you expand your imagination and creativity, as well as helpful to homeowners.

Sometimes it was a bit hard to navigate, and it seemed difficult to control.

I love this an its my favriote app and i love this because i can build my dream home in a matter of seconds and i love itttt.

It was free, which was awesome. It was pretty easy to use.

And the 3D rendering tool is great. It converts your 2d floor plan into a 3D model.

It would be awesome to see what other people are creating and get inspired by their ideas. I think this would make Planner 5D even more fun and social.

Made a mistake and subscribed the yearly subscription.

My experience has been wonderful so far with this app.

BUT, they understood how frustrating this was, and offered me a 30% discount for the year. Fast forward another email or two, they increased the discount to 50%, but would not consider a full refund.

I used the app when redesigning and replanning my apartment. It helped a lot with visualization and saved my time and money.

No monthly billing option - Can only purchase a yearly subscription.

As mentioned above, they amount of useful information not only about software but interior design in general.

Planner 5D is a game-changer for interior design enthusiasts like me. The easy-to-use interface, along with its vast collection of furnishings, lets me create stunning room designs effortlessly.

Absolutely awesome [sensitive content hidden] in Customer Service was one of the most awesome customer service people I have ever worked with.

You're literally stuck with Planner 5D's conception of windows, doors, and etc. Second, it is difficult if not impossible to efficiently create spaces to scale with the existing inventory.

Overall Planner 5D is such a excellent software that if you are a interior designer or a Architect, you will fall in love with it.

Easy interface, big catalog of items, iPhone support. My daughter is a huge fan of their design school and remodelling lessons on youtube.

No way of importing new objects, no way of accessing the shopping cart (feature not yet available in the USA, they said, with no estimate to when it will be ready).

I have been searching for a good user friendly tool where I can do the interior myself, instead of a designer. Looks like Planner 5D is the best option.

A planner app with so much customization for a good price.

The paid version have hundreds of modern blocks to be use in design. Rendering at its best and very fascinating for the users as well as for the viewers.

5Dplanner made my apartment redesign. First I thought I will need some professional architect of designed to help me in planning my apartment design.

A very good, cost efficient tool for event furnishing.

It's helping me with many ideas and thoughts I need to apply it in my house and I need to invest more time on it.

Overall just  awesome and the customer support Mr. Kyle helped me so much and very quick support.

I figured $5 for a month was reasonable, but AFTER I paid, I realized it was billed yearly. My fault for not seeing the small print under the $5.00 / month advertisement.

Very intuitive and user friendly app. It is the best home building app so far.

Overall, it’s a great product and the customer service department has been quick and great to give answers/ solutions.

The pricing is excellent, really quick to learn and every design is beautiful when it comes together and it offered on every major platform and on tablets.

Planner 5D is simply fantastic. With it, I was able to unleash my creativity and turn my dreams into amazing design projects.

5D-planner is a solid tool, and we will be happy customers in the future too.

I used Planner 5D to design my living room and bedroom. Very helpful for visualizing the best furniture pieces and making sure that everything looks nice.

My wife and I plan on having a guest house built and this is really helping us get a feel for what we want and need and what it will look like. We love the 3d rendering option.
