Useful app

Really like the app, easy to use and offers opportunity to enter title and description of project. My project used 3 different wood materials so I entered each as a different project and named them part 1, 2, and 3. Not sure if you can enter different materials in one project. Therefore 4 stars instead of 5. Do recommend the app as it is very useful and well worth the price.

Print fail

When attempting to send cut plan to printer, there is no image. Nothing to print

So useful

This is a great app to figure out how much material to buy and how to set up your cut pattern.

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.

Nice 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.
