Deck Design 1.0.0.0

Get a useful advisor that can help you with the design of new decking projects
When someone decides to build an indoor or outdoor deck, checking with a specialist is a must for people who want to get advice for the design of the project and also obtain an estimate on the costs that is as accurate as possible, so as to avoid spending too much on materials.

For those who like to do things by themselves and have the skill and determination to see through such an endeavor, having a virtual assistant like Deck Design could save them a lot of time and hassle.

Plain and practical front-end

This utility brings a simple look that is made as much functional as it can, in order to obtain the best results in the shortest time possible. The visual appeal is left aside, but the graphics that represent the various deck shapes are quite neatly drawn despite the simpleness of the other elements of the interface.

Navigating throughout the various sections of the app when creating a new project or editing a saved one is done fluently and without delays or glitches of any sort. The ad banners are an ever-present nuisance that will follow you in every corner of the app.

Add the variables and get the needed results on the spot

Deck Design works in a fairly simple manner, allowing you to easily input the necessary details in order to obtain a fast calculation of the number of necessary decking boards. The projects can be created by following just a few steps and it should take a minute or two to complete any of them, provided that that the measurements are made and all the numbers are available.

More precisely, you will have to give a name to the project and then select a deck shape from the 4 available variants: rectangular, L-shape, U-shape or T-shape. The next step is picking the orientation, then you can insert the exact measurements for each side of the deck.

The desired decking size and orientation of the boards are the last things you will have settle before getting to the summary of the project and obtaining the estimation regarding the number of boards needed to complete the project.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
 

The looks of this app are less attractive and more practical, but even if the navigation is seamless, the general aspect is influenced quit a bit by the continuously changing advertisements shown inside every section of the utility.

Function8
 

The app is easy to use and with a decent set of features that will surely come in handy to help anyone seeking to make some calculations concerning their decking projects.

Security7
 

For some reason, unrelated to its actual functionality, Deck Design needs to access the phone dialer, owner and phone identities, as well as the multimedia libraries.

Battery7
 

While this application is running it will take up a noticeable amount of power, so the battery usage levels go beyond moderate and into the high zone.

Price9
 

A most useful tool to have by anyone who wants to build a deck outside or inside the house, this utility has a very good value overall.

Compatibility9
 

Tailored for use on most Windows Phone handsets on the market, Deck Design requires at least version 7.5 of the OS to function correctly.
