FAKE! Paid for a subscription but unable to log in and no-one is getting back to me. DO NOT PAY - ITS A SCAM!

It's a trap!
Here is my honest experience as an experienced van converter, overlander and designer.
I found the advertised claims to be very appealing. In particular, I found the claim that they featured dozens of different standard components that you could place in your van layout - in 3D no less - as well as the promise of detailed plans you can actually build from. Important this - they say you can build from these plans. That is not the case.
The product is a brutal kludge. It is something you would typically see on Steam as a sort of indy attempt at a sim or game built on unity by a small team and priced at under $3. In no way do they approach value for the money.
Now that I have exchanged about a dozen emails with vanspace trying to get a refund which I applied for on the same day I purchased the app, I can tell you what I've learned.
In actuality what this company is doing is 90% marketing and 5% product and 5% astroturfing/customer service/social media management. They will say VOLUMES about their product and overwhelm you with long-winded emails explaining how they provide value. These emails are just using canned responses. Their refund policy is to make you answer a list of questions to rationalize why you just don't want their software on day one. You can tell that a LOT of people want a refund after seeing the app in person. There is a reason they don't offer a trial.
Regarding the promises for V3 - I did not buy V3. I'm reviewing the product I bought.
Regarding the claim of "good faith", well its clear they have no good faith by not considering a refund within 24hrs. That's not good faith at all. They are trying to get around honoring the consumer protection guidelines.
The sad thing is that they make promises that mean they understand the market, but they do not deliver on any of them. But the reason why I warn you away is that they do not honor the transaction and will take your money and run. DO NOT BUY this and expect an easy refund if it doesn't suit your needs. It's a trap.

Software is horrible and nor user friendly. Customer service team is non existent and will refuse any refund as soon as you log into your account. I was used the software for a few minutes and they still won't refund my transaction. Pretty much a fraudulent company. Don not belive the ads or customer reviews on their website.
The worst design software I ever bought. Really complicated to do anything and just cheaply made. 100% I wouldn't recommend to buy!

I am gonna be honest: i dont have any experience with this kind of Van making progam. But this rating is about the customerservice. The respons is very quickely and also helpfull! And they have a good attitude; they really want to help you. Danielle helped me and she was really nice.

I purchased this to use immediately on a layout for my van, but I couldn't find my van's layout. I emailed customer service that same day asking for help, and got an automated response that they would reply within 24 hours. 2 days later and no response so I sent another email. Over a month later I still hadn't received a reply to either of my emails.
I ended up drawing the layout of my van by hand. I filed a charge back with my credit card company, and sent in my proof of email attempts, and my credit card company investigated and eventually reversed the charges.
So this review is for non-existent customer service.
Edited to add: my email service doesn't do full email boxes it passes on every single email received, and I am on facebook under the same name as my order, and chatting was not an option on their website then or I would have done that since I wanted immediate help.

This software does what it says, and although it might not look like the latest unity/unreal engine game out there, its sole purpose is to layout your van in relatively short time, trying out different layouts quickly, and have a clear idea of what you will build. This is no automotive Unreal5 or 3dmax or cinema 4d. And paying a mere 20 eur for it is just supporting these fellas to go on with their great idea and to make it better. For all those who says this is from the 80’s - (its actually cool too! ) get sketchup2017 and do your build there and hopefully in 6 months we could see some designs!!

I don't recommend this purchase !!! When I saw the product, I regret immediately and ask for the cancellation and a refund.
They are insisting that if I have a technical problem I should make contact with the technical department.
Although I am insisting for more than 2 weeks that I just regret and want my money back, they refused.
This is the worst customer service ever. !!!!
I still insisting !!!!

Really dreadful software. Looks like something from 20 years ago. Wish I'd read reviews before buying. It's very clunky, the graphics are pretty basic, it's not at all intuitive. Don't waste your time or money
The fact they don't provide any software demo in any way and have refund T&Cs that make it impossible to get your money back after the first login means you're buying it totally blind....... Probably a massive red flag as I can't see how any reasonable person would part with their own money for something that's as poor as this.

Absolute WORST Program ever. Every time I go to use it, it feels like I am trying to use 1980's software.
DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK..

Looks really impressive on the website, reality of the software feels like you're using something developed 15 years ago, the UI is very clunky and low resolution, the modelling power is pretty poor. I'd say, download sketchup, and you'll get a much more useful van design tool for free.
They're also really sneaky because you need to login to realise it's pretty crap, by which time it's no refunds.....honestly feels like a bit of a scam. At least give refunds within the first hour of purchase

Absolutely horrible!
Hard to use, hardly any vans to choose from and very few modules to put in your imaginary van.
I've been told by them that I can create my own 3d modules. I bought the program so I didn't have to do that
Possibly the worst thing I have ever paid for

Reply from Vanspace3d
The worst software I have ever used. Waste of your time and money as elements in the program don't work and it so clunky and frustrating you will hate it. I can see everyone else is having problems with this program but you are unwilling to provide a demo file or offer any support. Very dodgy!!!

Paid for this last year, didn't want updates etc. so didn't pay for extra, didn't use it due to Covid.
Came to use the software today and was told the price I paid was only to use the software for a year.
Absolute rip off
In response to the below.
Pretty much all software you buy it's yours to own and you pay for any major updates etc.

It’s really basic computer aided design (CAD) that you can find anywhere. This app is at the low end, so it isn’t very good. That said, good CAD apps can be expensive, so you get what you pay for.
Unfortunately, the company’s response to reviews is terribly unprofessional. They seem to think that clearly displaying a terrible refund policy on every page somehow makes it good. They also seem to misunderstand the idea of reviews. I’m not looking for them to eviscerate me because I don’t like their software. If they would grow up, they’d see that people have opinions, and they need to accept those opinions and try to make their product better. According to Trustpilot, the majority of customers are not happy with the software; a solid, professional company would stop fighting with their customers and listen to them.
I’m sure there will be a long-winded response to this review, but since I didn’t ask for it, I will not read it.

Not possible to try or have a demo, except a promo-video online. So I decided to buy for the test : the idea of the software is good, I suppose it's a lot of work, but... I find the software a little bit "amateur". It's not easy to download, to connect and activate, there is a lot of page to read to understand how to do it, ... there is 2 versions, but no one is intuitive. No menu for one, or no contextual menu, no right clic for the other. I found this laborious to use. After an hour, I did not manage to do anything and I was discouraged. So I ask politely for a refund with explanations of my situation, and the answer was something like "no refund, you have to learn to use it, use the faq, etc.". But I prefer to use my time to build something instead of learn to try to use a software. So I return to my first solution, a simple website, free, very fast to build without knowledge, and abandonned VanSpace3d. I was disappointed by the answer of no refunding even if I have explained not to use it at all and abandon. I lost my money... Sad. Maybe it's a good solution for someone, but not me

Terrible software. Terrible refund policy. The dimensions don't line up with anything in the van.

This company is very anti-consumer, offering only the most specific conditions to request a refund.
Their refund policy contains such gems as
> "Logging into your vanspace 3D account online is deemed as 'taking off the wrapper' of your purchase"
> "Once you have logged into your online account, changing your mind, no longer needing or finding too hard to use initially is not a reason to request a refund."
> "Once you have logged in online, you have waived your right to a 14 day cooling off period as is standard with all online digital content."
I've gotten refunds from so many digital services over the years that it's obvious the refund policy only exists to grift people out of their money.
Avoid this company. I'll be making use of Sketch tutorials on Youtube instead.

There was some branding curiosities, iffy reviews, and the website was a bit rough earlier this year when I first looked at Vanspace. But I decided to give it a go, knowing it was still new and would have updates coming along.
I've now designed two vans with the software and they came out pretty cool and very similar in detail to the ones in the company's video. It did take me a solid 8 hours of playing around before I felt I got the hang of it. It did take effort and I do hope the interface gets easier to use in the future, but overall — I like the product and I'd buy it again if I could go back in time. They also have pretty good, quick support for your questions.
