Fantastic App! Not as $$ greedy as the newer ones
I’ve been using this app since 2016 and I’m so happy that it’s still runs on my devices. I’ve used it on many projects and continue to do so the are amazing and it’s so easy to use compared to some of the other products out there which requires subscription.
United StatesNice but glitchy
This app is fairly basic, would be nice if it were able to create cuts for different wood thicknesses without having to create a new list for every size. But it’s something and the price is right.
United Statesneed to know the most efficient way to cut your wood
this is the app that big box stores should be using to help customers not waste their wood. Where you are charged after 6 cuts what if you don’t really need it? I like knowing how many projects are potentially in this purchase
United StatesSuper helpful - needs a few tweaks
I have used this for several years now. This app does all of the math and space planning in seconds that would take me at least an hour on paper. Minor frustrations- sometimes just by changing the description of the cut or the material (long dimension vs short dimension first) I find that the plan creates more or less waste. I have to delete and change the descriptions to find a better, less wasteful plan. Related frustration - descriptions can’t be edited; cuts have to be deleted and re-entered. Cuts also cannot be batch deleted but deleted separately. It’s annoying but not a deal breaker. I love how easy printing the plans is. I just put the cut plans printout on my clipboard, and we’re off!
United StatesAwesome!
With wood prices up this app is essential for reducing waste. Love everything about it. One small issue for me is the area isn’t as smart as it could be. For example swapping dimensions to make a piece fit instead of going to a new board. Not a big deal just something to look out for
United StatesCan’t print won’t print
Great app it’s simple to use and I like it a lot. However the print function fails every single time crashing the app. It should convert the layout into pdf and print accordingly… it used to work and now it simply fails. Please fix it
United StatesWorked until iOS 14.
Will not open in iOS 14. Not good when I have a bunch of projects saved. Before that it was 5 stars. I hope they fix.
