Measurements are wrong!

Bought this because the free Envelope Generator App no longer works with the latest iOS sadly. Well, this App does not work. Tried to calculate dimensions for a simple square envelope and none of the dimensions came anywhere close. It wasn’t even a square envelope! Don’t waste your money!

Works great

I’ve been lost since the other app got deleted. This app works great! I can make envelopes of all different sizes! & now it includes boxes!

Great

I brought this as my other app stopped working with the new iOS. I found it worked great with my we r memory punch board. I only thing I changed was the margin in settings to 3/8 from 1/4 . This morning I made around 15 different size envelopes and they all fitted the cards perfectly .

Great app

I love this app. Works really well if you have an envelope punch board! Was ecstatic when I found it. Had previously used a different one by American Crafts but it was not updated and so stopped working. This one is better than the one I used previously! VERY easy to use.

Incorrect sizes

This did not produce the correct envelope size for my cards. I tried many different sizes and none of them worked.

Response from developer

I'm sorry about your experience. The app was made for the We R Memory Keepers Punch Board. By default, you have to enter the size of the envelope (and not the card) that you want. To change this behavior, please go to the settings (bottom right) and activate the "Add Margin" option. Please feel free to contact me at "developer [at] capslock [dot] ch" if you need any more help.

Inaccurate .

As a previous reviewer has said, this app generates measurements which are far too small unlike the Envelope Generator app which sadly does not run on latest IOS

Response from developer

I'm sorry for you negative experience. Please make sure that you either enter the final size of the envelope (NOT the size of the card) or that you have the "Add Margin" setting activated (can be found in the settings menu on the bottom right). If you require any additional assistance, please contact me at "developer [at] capslock [dot] ch".

Measurements are coming up too small

I brought this app as I have the envelope punch board and the app for it no longer works with more up to date iOS, so when I saw this app I thought great a way to continue to use my envelope punch board, BUT when testing this app with set sizes that are already on the envelope punch board this app is giving sizes way too small. I am very disappointed and annoyed that I’ve paid for an app that I can’t use. The creator of this app should have either said the app is only to be used with a certain brand of envelope punch board or they should have tested the sizes out far better.

Awesome!

This fantastic app helped me in a tremendous way! I have an envelope punch but the envelope size I needed isn’t listed in the size chart. This app is perfect. Same thing for a box! As an earlier review remember to add 1/8 inch to your card measurement (length and width) to say the size of the envelope (because that’s what you need to enter). I made perfect envelopes and a perfect box. I’m looking forward to making more with the perfect measurements! ❤️

Don’t Waste Your Money

There are no complete instructions...I was trying to make an envelope for a 6”x6” card. I entered the width and length measurements. The paper size needed was 9 1/4” that’s all it said just one measurement ...not 9 1/4” x 9 1/4”. I assumed that it was supposed to be 9 1/4” x 9 1/4” so that’s what I cut my paper to. It then said the first punch is to be at 4 5/8”. I completed the envelope...the card is about a 1/4” too small to fit my 6”x6” card. It is a very basic card...12”x6” piece of card stock folded in half with 1 sheet thin scrapbook paper on the front and on both sides of the inside...no fancy doodads. I’m very disappointed and will try to get my money for this app back...I’m already in the hole because I now have an envelope that won’t fit my homemade 6”x6” cards.
I don’t want to waste any more money by making envelopes with papers that I have specifically bought to coordinate with the cards I have made. Please don’t waste your money.

Perfect, IF you remember this:

All previous versions of EG, and directions on the punch board itself, need CARD dimensions, not ENVELOPE. This app doesn’t say to use the envelope measurement (only in description in App Store).

When I added 1/8” to length and width of the card size, envelope was perfect.

Developer: Please add that instruction to the first screen of the app. Or just fix the algorithm to add 1/8”.
