See how their reviews and ratings are sourced, scored, and moderated.
The software advertises tons of van templates and given that mine is one of the more popular, I assumed it would be in the software. Within minutes of installing it, I realized I was wrong and uninstalled and contacted support to explain and ask for a refund. The support team was unhelpful, disregarded my request for a refund or the circumstances around it (I don’t want to make my own template, it’s irrelevant that you can do that). Frankly, I’m shocked that it’s worth $27 to these people to disrespect a customer rather than offer a refund on a product I clearly am not going to use. Seems like the product is fine, but they certainly don’t care about the customer experience.

I've been really impressed that I found every item that I needed for the campervan I'm planning to built. I could even change the materials and colors for the furniture! Definitely recommend to plan it with Vanspace3d if you're going to build the vanlife.

Purely based on interactions with Customer Service I'm sad to say I have to give it 1star.
(Oh, and yes they will say they don't recall anyone of this username emailing them, blahblah, because I don't use the same one for every account dur).
They seem scared to make a trial available, and instead hide behind the 14 day cooling-off period (which is handily invalidated by logging in even once - hence the 14day period is essentially USELESS in actually evaluating the software!). I can only presume they realise that they would get virtually no sales conversions from trial software.
So, vanspace3D, IF you genuinely have faith in your software, start offering a 24hr trial version.
(Here follows a bullet list of reasons why they choose not to.)

We bought the year license (thanks god) and we could do anything that we wanted. A friend that is graphical designed tried to help us and almost vomited in my computer
" Please tell me that this app is from 2000 and they discontinued it and you still want to use it, because is ugly, and not functional at all"
He actually did a basic design where we can start, in illustrator and is 500% better than this app.

I logged only once to the software just to check if my Mercedes Vito W639 was modelled (as it's not specified on the website and now I'm thinking that it is on purpose, just to get money). I asked for a refund and was happily surprised to get an answer on a Sunday with a promise to get an answer the next day but since then (we're Thursday evening so 4 days after)
and a reminder 2 days ago nothing!!!! I am really disappointed and do not recommend this application if you are not sure that you're vehicule model is included!!!
I definitely should have checked the comments before buying this scam...

Vanspace3d is an absolute scam. They make you pay $45 and still you can’t use every item/furniture. It’s really bad to handle and not intuitive. Absolutely overpriced and not worth it.

Reply from Vanspace3d
The most complicated software ever and the worst customer service. After only a few days, I explained that you needed to be a professional to use this software and as I was in my 14 day cooling off period, I would like to request a refund. The answer was no. TERRIBLE

Reply from Vanspace3d
as a programmer for 30 years bought the worst application ever, totally useless, unusable also bought too extra ebook no useful info in it, so DO NOT buy, worthless better a good bottle of wine for that money

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!
This application appears to have been created by children for children.
I purchased the app thinking that It would help in my van design and give some inspiration boy was I wrong.
This application is awful! It is extremely clunky, poorly designed and not fit for purpose. There are no dimensions, you are unable to remove the bulk head and you can only use the templated images to add furniture to your van and one of them is a dog!
Trust me there is a lot more worse with this app and I only used it for 27 minutes.
If you are serious about building/designing a camper van avoid this application at all coast!
I have also asked for a refund 33 minutes after buying and using the app however I am still waiting on a response (8/11/2022).
I would never have bought the app if I had have read the refund policy first. Clearly they know that their app is terrible hence why they add the following clause in to trap you and take your money "Once you have logged into the software, changing your mind, no longer needing or finding it too hard to use initially is not a reason to request a refund". I hope people read this review and AVOID THIS SCAM ALL COSTS!!

(11:59:10 AM) Chris Duncan: the application is not fit for purpose. I expected a lot more flexibility however it is very ridged.
(12:00:25 PM) Chris Duncan: does not offer the amount of design freedom I expected. Also not very intuitive application. Built for the Instagram generation of 'vanlife' builds and not real life scenario builders.

I think the bad reviews are a little unfair, firstly - you need some knowledge of how to use these programmes, if you don't - youtube it - once you know how to use it its relatively easy - I did 3 vans in 1 day - when i needed support in downloading the app the customer service was very good, it gives you a great an idea of dimensions and sizes for your conversion, I am a conversion company and have found it useful to show clients and for the price I don't really know what anyone is expecting, if you want something better than this you would be paying alot more! the only thing I would prefer is an option to add my own materials and more furniture (e.g. top cupboards) anyone who is complaining I would say is more down to not understanding how to use it and not taking time out to watch some youtube videos as its really not that hard once you've figured it out

Not a review so much as a warning to Vanspace customer service to maybe change tactics. I was looking into buying your product but seeing the adversarial, confrontational and take no responsibility approach you have to customer service I am staying far away from your company. You call out and shame your customers, you argue over petty things, you are condescending and rude. I work in customer service I get that customers are unreasonable, don't listen or read direction and are just plain wrong a lot. But your approach to handling it is terrible and is scaring off future customers. A non committal apology and maybe some helpful answers to specific issues is all that is needed here, keep the rest in private correspondence. You are coming across as arrogant and unable to take any responsibility or criticism. Not a good look.
Edited to add: Your response to me is better than some others I have read but you still chose to write a novel with a bunch of defensive sounding excuses and sound kind of passive aggressive with your "thanks for your feedback". You are correct this is not about your software but the way you communicate with customers is a big part of a successful buisness. If what I have seen here is an example of the tone you take with your customers who are having trouble I am not surprised they get annoyed and post bad reviews, even if they are in the wrong. You seem so focused on winning your point that you don't care if you are making your customers feel stupid. Also of course you are good to customers that have only good things to say, it is how you deal with more challenging customers that decides how good your customer service is.

Absolutely dreadful!! Terrible software, stuck in 2015.
I contacted them for a refund as soon as I realised how bad it was, aprox 5min in between (18th of August 2022). Now still here trying to get a refund (15th September 2022) but nothing but un helpful back and Forth “NO” noting that 1. Still in the 30 day cooling off period, 2. The software has not be used. 3. Meaning I have a right for a refund. Save your money and be aware. Also be aware it dose not tell you what currency it is in.
They then replied with...

I love this app, I have spent a year building and rebuilding 2 vans, its excellent. I have however hit a wall. My latest design will not load for some unclear reason, please help.
If you are reading this and trying to decide, I would say do it, it has made a huge difference to me, I would have wasted thousands on design and redesign. The 3D rotation option is fantastic. I would like an option to go inside an look around like on the home shows.
Thanks Vanspace and please help

I have recently purchased the software for business purposes and wanted to run my van conversion company using it.
Paid the yearly subscription of ~130$ even though my guts wanted to get the basic version just to try it out.
I saw the tutorials for a year before the purchase, but the hands-on experience is terrible and I work in the software industry (my business aside).
Before someone from the marketing department will start telling me that it's my fault for not understanding the software, please stop.
Here are the most annoying things about it, without going into too many details:
- once you start creating a van, you cannot return to the main dashboard to select a second project, tried all buttons and once you're in, you can only close the app.
- I tried adding a window on the van door, you only have 2 window models and you cannot position it correctly no matter what. First because the walls are curved and the window only stays straight, second because it doesn't become a single entity with the door itself. You cannot merge them together, you only have a sandwich of stuff.
- you cannot edit the floor layers, only the colour of the materials
- you cannot create your own items
- you cannot position an object to align eith the surface borders (walls or floor), you hope you get as close to the edges
- the measuring tool is pointless also. I wanted to measure the sliding door width but the pointer went wherever it wanted
- cannot export the project and the vans uploaded are not updated.
I have a Citroen Jumper 2015 myself but you only find the models prior to this.
How can you suggest the purchase of a business license if this software cannot be used for business?
How am I supposed to present this to a customer without showing him the detailed electric system in a separate layer that shows the exact measurements?
What about a custom build on client specs, knowing you cannot build your own furniture?
Honestly I thought Sketchup was pretty difficult to use, however this software not only is useless for a detailed project, but also expensive.
Totally wasted 130$ which i will never get due to their (scam-ish) refund policy.
This is just a boring video game, it doesn't even need to install on the computer, you just download the .exe and run it, like a miniclip game.
I don't recommend it, sorry if I might seem as over-reacting, but it's really just a joke of an app

I would like to give 0 star
Paid and downloaded this app and after just couple seconds found out how bad this program is .. if you mention refund push back once you paid get lost!
If you looking for gallery app go to Google images for free and do not spend money on this .. save it for something rewarding;-)

You know it's bad when the company spends more time writing responses to negative comments than they do to dissatisfied customers asking for refunds. Don't fall for the BS advertisements. There are free versions of what they are doing here that work better. This software is built off of a game render software, which means it'll look pretty (still not as good as the ads), but when it come to actual usability it's garbage. Save the money, time and headache by doing literally anything else. It's a scam.

If you are looking for a solution to help you design your van layout, this is not it!
This is not a CAD software or even a CAD viewer. It is written using 3D gaming software. Think 3D Tetris against a very basic background. You can do a very rough layout, but not a design to see dimensions and exact fit.
It does not have dimensioned van templates, and only includes European model vans.
There is a reason they don't have a "Free Trial" - no one would buy it. There is a reason they don't give refunds - everyone would want one.
Worst software purchase I have ever made.

Reply from Vanspace3d
Purely based on the vendor's responses here, desperately trying to hold onto unsatisfied user's money, it's made my mind up not to even try it. It's the wrong attitude to have. Instead try and improve your product, instead of arguing with customers - who many requested refunds within 14 days, why YOU think your product is good enough.

Reply from Vanspace3d
I'm used to 3D software, and there is no logic in this one. Working around was a pain in the ass, and it's really frustrating. If you want to make a rough blocking, this might be ok, for the rest go found another solution. Poorly way to customise the elements inside
I wanted to test different opening solution for the doors & cabinets but guess what in the end you CAN'T export your layout in any 3D format, just some screenshot. And as you can't mask some object for taking some point of view it's mostly useless at some point and it's a mess.
