Good pick for checking whether furniture actually fits before you buy it: draw the room once at real dimensions, drop pieces in at real sizes, and blocked doors and tight walkways show up straight away. The 3D view is basic, but for layout decisions the 2D plan is what matters.

Comments and Reviews
It's the easiest program I've found (I have no CAD experience). But it's limited, and it's open source (at least in terms of models/plugins/textures) so they're only as good and extensive as what's being made. I haven't found the current iteration buggy at all: in fact, it works surprisingly well for freeware this complex. That said, the developer is very helpful--often on the forums--and there are a lot of really good, short YouTube tutorials etc. available.
So for free and easy (versus Sketchup: $700? but tons of customizations, models, plugins, etc.), this amateur likes it a lot. Working on my garden, tho, and it's pretty limited in terms of exterior items, so that's regrettable.
But if you just want to do a 2D layout of your room to play with furniture arrangement and then possibly look at what it would look like in 3D (and invest a bit more time in doing so), it's the perfect tool.
40% cpu usage on I7 processor when starting to draw a wall. I haven't seen this kind of lag since 20 yrs. :)

I liked using this a few years ago, since then I'm moved onto a couple other 3D softwares. I do keep coming back to it as it's pretty much where I started off and made my first images. Now I'm a bit more advanced there's some aspects it can't do however, I will admit I miss the compatibility elements that some of the higher tech 3D software lack. I can still create some decent images such as keeping up with the digital documentation trend that's sweeping aorund right now, example: https://apostillelondon.com/VR/VRIntegration/ApostilleCertificates/ApostilleCertificate/cert.html. Interested to see if any further developments are made to bridge the widening gap!
I like it, cause it's easy to use and have basic features to make quick simple plan for your room or even full house. Would love to see some Lidar scan in the future for the iPad version
If you only plan on using it for planning, that's how far you'll get with this software. The 3D model and ability to export will mess up any plans you have for 3D viewing. It's not documented but if you try to export the walls, you will get life size models instead, not models build for CAD or Blender. A real 1:1 model of what you build.
It is easy to use, has a large library of 3D models, and supports realistic rendering and exporting options.
