I had a large list in mine from my supplier and I could pick individual species from the list before calculating the board footage for different components and it would use the price in the material list. It was so handy to have a lumber cost sheet built into my calculator that would work together as long as I kept my prices up to date. Please add this idea to an update! ### 4/5 — Thanks *2022-06-21* Great app would be really really great if I could export the project to email or notes ### 4/5 — Great App *2020-02-01* I am a furniture maker and use this appet to calculate all my lumber BF requirements and the cost. A couple additional features would great. 1. A field in each entry to identify wood species. 2. The ability to make entries for sheet goods which are generally sold by the piece not BF. 3. In the project section it be great if there was a way to calculate total project cost. Again, this is a great app and does what it is designed to do very well. These few additions would make it an outstanding app for my purposes. It would definitely be worth paying a reasonable price (define reasonable, right :-) ) for an app with these features. **Developer response:** Thanks for your comment. I will be updating the app this year and I will see what I can do about including your suggestions. However, I am on the fence about the sheet goods as that was not the focus of this app - but I also understand why it would be helpful. ### 4/5 — Love this app *2019-09-19, version 2.0.2* Works awesome! Fast, easy, accurate! When you’re just hammering away at piling up boards into the back of the truck, this little gadget makes life real easy. 4 stars as I would like to see a price slot in the formula page that allows you to enter the total cost, and it breaks down the cost per board foot. Sometimes you just get total amounts to work with and it has me opening my calculator as well. ### 3/5 — Wish it had more *2016-11-26, version 2.0.1* It's a good little app. But if it had programmable species pricing /board foot it would make the project calculator much better. This way could make a true project item list ### 4/5 — Excellent tool for woodworkers! *2016-03-16* Awesome little app. No more stumbling through the phones regular calculator at the lumber mill. Like stated before some increased functionality such as being able to load species and prices would make this from a board foot calculator to a project planner that I would gladly pay money for.. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-08-12* This App is exactly what I needed to go through a pile of lumber and figure how many board feet I have. Well done! ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-07-31* I use this app for every project I make. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Could be really great with a few additions *2015-05-06* This is a great app and does exactly what I need it to. A few additional features though and it could be a work horse. 1) notes. I'd like to add notes to the projects section. Ex: wood species, project timeline, just general stuff. Even just a notes area, basic 2) cvs export option? Email or share option? 3) user input / species save mode. If I know my suppliers wood prices, let me add that to a database for easy grabbing later. Ex: Acme Wood Products Soft Maple Rough milled = $3.10 / BF , let me just grab that from a list and go. If the price changes let me edit it on my own. 4) maybe add photos to project notes area? Just some ideas for you guys! ### 5/5 — Da bomb! *2014-11-10, version 2.0.1* Best calc dag ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unfortunately its not very good *2023-06-19* Not user friendly and zero information on how to use or enter the info. Such as “thickness” no one uses this as a term in measuring. they should have diameter, radius and circumference on here for calculations for board feet. Such as and 8’ log that is 20” in diameter/62.8” circumference. ### 1/5 — Not sure it works *2022-09-04, version 2.0.2* I enter 12”x12”x1/2” and the price of $6.99 to get a board foot price. I hit calculate and it gives me 2.39. What the heck does that tell me? ### 1/5 — Money *2021-06-30, version 2.0.2* This calculator does not calculate the dollars properly check it. It does not work on the money side ### 1/5 — Incorrect *2021-01-17, version 2.0.2* This calculator incorrectly calculates the cost per board foot. Be care using! ### 1/5 — Clunky and buggy *2018-04-01* Interface is clunky, click on a field and it deletes the entire field. Add waste to a project and it appears to lose the waste amount when summing up the project total board feet. Needs to have the ability to add supplier, species, and price lists ### 1/5 — What? *2016-08-01* I'm doing a wall project and I don't understand how this app helps me determine how much lumber to buy. How can I enter total wall dimensions (length and height) and desired board width to figure that out? The app is asking ME to fill in the "pieces" field and that's what I need to have calculated! I don't work with lumber often (maybe that's obvious) but when I do it would be great to have a board foot calculator to figure out how many stinking pieces of boards I need. **Developer response:** Unfortunately, this app is not for the type of calculation you are trying to do. This is strictly for calculating "boardfeet", which is a measurement used (exclusively?) for expensive lumber, and is only useful to woodworkers (or by the wood industry, such as sawmills or dealers). A construction calculator would provide the calculation you need. ### 1/5 — Need to enter decimal inches *2015-06-12, version 2.0.1* Cannot calculate using decimal inches. ### 2/5 — Divided by 4? *2025-01-30, version 2.0.2* Why is the amount off by a factor of 4? ### 2/5 — Needs an update *2017-09-23, version 2.0.1* Doesn’t work with IOS 11. ### 3/5 — iOS 11 broke the app *2017-10-05, version 2.0.1* Was a great app but apple will not let it open in ios11. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works Great / Easy To Use *2020-06-29* I use it to calculate board foot when selling wood cut on my sawmill. ### 5/5 — Easy to use and great for any woodworker *2020-05-08* Enjoying the App, but if possible could there be a button on the project page for numerical or alphabetical order? Or the ability to move them ourselves without deleting? It’s great overall but when you have 100 species of wood and can’t find that one you are looking for because you add project once item comes in but then can’t find it months later because you added 20+ more species. Just a suggestion, I would definitely enjoy that in next update if possible. Recommending app to fellow wood workers. **Developer response:** Thanks for your comment. I will be updating the app this year and I will take your suggestions into consideration for the upcoming release. ### 5/5 — Awesome - Perfect *2020-03-26* This app is simple to use and is perfect just they way it is, please don’t ad anything or cave to the naysayers. This is the perfect app for not only someone that sells wood but also a new woodworker. I’m so happy I found and downloaded the app. It should be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Perfect *2018-03-15* Dimple &easy to use. Just what I need when I buy lumber. ### 5/5 — App updates *2017-09-30* I love the app but need it to be updated to iOS 11 **Developer response:** An iOS 11 version is in beta testing now. ### 5/5 — Use this app all the time. *2017-09-27* Are y’all working on ios11 update? Thanks **Developer response:** Yes, an iOS 11 version is in testing and should be available shortly. ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2017-09-14, version 2.0.1* This simple app allows me to calculate prices for hardwood projects. I would love to be able to keep a list of lumber prices, such as "African mahogany, 4/4, $5.43" and "Walnut, 8/4, $10.69", the ability to edit names of projects, or to email or iMessage the list. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-10-15* Great app. I have had this installed for a couple years now. Does exactly what you need it to do, nothing complicated. Just a great BF calculator. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2016-03-04* One of my most used apps. It's great! ### 5/5 — Perfection *2015-11-05* It's simple and easy to use. Does what it means to. Nothing more nothing less. You can't go wrong with this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
