  • Awesome app!

    This app is awesome. I had over 300 2”- 4” wide boards to cut of varying lengths. This app not only helped me determine how much material to buy but which parts to cut from each board. The customer support was almost immediate as I figured out how to use the app and print my cut list
  • Good but needs improvement

    Hard to see names, uses small light grey font. Wish I could switch width and length easier when grain not an issue. Wish I could name boards to better track scraps.

    Thank you for the feedback. I understand your comments and will think about how to address them.
  • Nice app

    Just bought it. Has nice features like adding new materials types and prices to calculate costs. Can’t tell if the measurements in the app use nominal or actual sizes and whether I need to adjust for that.

    Developer Response

    The measurements are actual sizes and KerfMaker adds a kerf width around each part. If you still have questions about this, please contact me through the form at KerfMaker.com and I will do my best to answer. Thanks!
  • Useful, but could use some updates

    First, this app does exactly what it says - it helps you plan out your next build. That said, I do have a few complaints. Or, rather, suggestions for improvement. First, it’s not iPad optimized; I have a phone sized display in the center screen that’s difficult to use. Second, the sizing is done by a scrolling wheel for inches and fractions; putting in a piece that’s 84” long means scrolling all the way to 84. A simple keypad would alleviate this. Third, there’s no option for plywood as a building material, only a generic “wood” option.

    In light of these shortcomings, I can only give it 3 stars for the moment. If these were addressed, I wouldn’t hesitate to give 5 stars.

  • Awesome

    Very useful. Saves time on my projects. Best customer support of any app I have used making this a gem of an app. Save time and money, improving my bottom line.

    Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad it's useful to you and would like to hear feedback on what might improve the app in the future.
  • Very useful

    Does exactly what it says. I use it all the time, for remembering dimensions of all sorts of sites and workpieces around the house.

    I wish it had an option to sync by iCloud instead of Dropbox. I wish it were quieter about syncing unless it's taking a while. I'm still giving it five stars.

    AR measurements would take it to a whole other level.

    Thanks for the feedback! I've been thinking about what's in the next version and it's super helpful to know what you think would be useful.
  • Great app

    Super useful. Save trips to/from home depot!
  • Very useful, works great

    App works exactly as advertised, easy to learn, very useful. Sorts my parts quickly. Worth the purchase!
  • Absolutely worthless

    Doesn't work at ALL. After creating a cut list and then imputing the material you have, it goes into a spinning orange wheel of death which it never comes out of. Waste of money. Wish I could get refunded.

    Developer Response

    I'm sorry you were disappointed. Please try the latest version of KerfMaker, which is much faster, and let me know how it works. If you still have trouble with it, I would very much like to know details of how it was being used so I can fix it if needed.
