Not intuitive – IKEA Place Review

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.
