PROS

Help you draw straight lines, if you can’t draw straight lines like me, then this app would be your life saver
You don’t have to sketch everything, you can make use of the furniture library and texture

There are no scale ruler or any scale tool, you have to rely on an accurate base image or the grid
You have to use apple pencil and have to pay for the app
You have to search for suitable libraries
