IKEA Place

This app is fantastic, my boyfriend and I are moving into an apartment and we’ve used this app to figure out our new apartment. We were able to get everything and then some. However, many furniture items are missing. Though I’m certain as new furniture comes out, the app will be updated accordingly.

Works great honestly, used it to plan out some new furniture once we moved and being able to place multiple pieces is great. Really do wish they were more frequent about the furniture that they add to this app, because it’s missing quite a bit. Also do hope they get to better integrating this into the ikea website (i.e. signing in let’s you view furniture you’ve added onto your wishlist instead of searching one by one to find them)

With a new apartment and no furnishings I’d really like to use this app. But it’s not very intuitive. There are no instructions for how to use it and the ways to manipulate objects in the AR camera are not clear. A one finger drag re-sizes, despite the fact that users are conditioned to re-size using pinch and zoom gestures. Using two fingers rotates items, which also doesn’t make sense. Overall objects are too hard to control and appear more like illustrations than real objects. I love the idea and the attempt but I’m not ready to spend any more time with it.

- Half of the inventory isn’t present in the app. Take for instance a very popular IKEA item “LACK wall shelf”. Type it in, search, no results found. Unreal. - Completely unnecessary animations that confuse the user. Further, “X” icons mean close, why are they using it as “go” on some areas of the app? Again, confusing the user. - A search feature which, and this is unbelievable, doesn’t include search by article/model number. That’s just lazy. So I can bring up the item on the Internet, but I can’t input into the number and find it with the search feature on the app? This app needs a lot of help.

On my iphone 8 the terms and conditions agreement screen has a bunch of visual things overlaid on top of each other. The end result is when I try to hit the radio button to agree to the privacy policy it does not register! My phone screen is perfectly fine, it is 100% the software. It's awful because I used a previous version of the app a year ago and it was great! I just want to use it again. I will gladly update this review if/when the issue is fixed.
