Wasted time & transactions

I spent half an hour choosing a suitable format and a separator that recognises this application. Then I spent another hour and a half working on remaking the drawing of the kitchen set in such a way that the application would calculate the layout map, taking into account the fact that my parts have different materials. And all this in order to open the application again and see the notification: "Hey, you tried, understood how our tool works and killed a lot of time on it? Do you have the last step for 15 minutes - to calculate the correct values? Pay 5 bucks." Damn, I don't feel sorry for these 5 bucks, but the problem is that I still have 2 days to get my paycheque and I'm still sitting with no money at all. On the other hand, it's my weekend and I was planning to at least go to the workshop and give the cutting card. But in the end, I will sit on the weekend without a card, and when I have money to buy a subscription, I will work and I will not have the opportunity to go to the workshop and place an order for a cut.

I tried to use the web version of the application, but there is no way for me to send the correct detail values. That's why the problem hasn't been solved. You'll have to wait for your paycheque to pay for the subscription and then wait another week before the weekend to go to the workshop and place an order.

It seems to me that at this rate I will never make myself a kitchen. Probably like normal people should have taken a loan for 5 thousand dollars and bought a turnkey kitchen. Yes, overpayment is 2-3 times, yes, the quality of assembly and materials is 2 times worse, but you will not find yourself in such situations.

I put one star only for the fact that the application basically calculates allowances and indentations under the edges. That's great!

But I want to say that I use Apple because it is a predictable technique and a predictable operating system. But the disadvantage of apple is that the system is closed and if there is a need to develop an application and place it in the app store, then you have to pay for it, which means that either make your application paid to pay for its placement, or sell advertising for the same purpose.

I am engaged in software development myself, and I can say that it is good that apple at least supports the ability to display and process events in one-page applications, as well as the availability of shortcuts under the browser tabs.

What a pity that there are few open-source free applications in this ecosystem

I'm sorry to give a low grade, but because of this situation I feel emotionally bad and I have to pour it out somewhere

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the edge-banding calculations you found useful. We understand how frustrating it was to encounter the subscription limit after spending so much time preparing your project, and we’re sorry this disrupted your plans.

Works pretty good…

I’ve used the web client more than the app. Works flawlessly.

The app unfortunately missed a few parts when I went to go populate my parts on to the sheets.

My quantity was correct on the list but it either missed the part entirely or just populated a lower quantity.

Response from developer

Please check the quantity indicator on the right side of each sheet, as one layout may represent multiple identical sheets. If the quantities still do not match, please contact us through the app, and we’ll follow up right away.

Only three free projects

This App. Only allows the user to make 3 free projects then you have to buy the App. My version did not allow me to change from mm to inches. Don’t waste time or money on this App.

Response from developer

You can change the measurement unit from millimeters to inches in the app’s option. If you’re unable to find this option, please contact us through the in-app support feature, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Great app - looking for support

I am using the app on my phone. Doing all the things need it to do. I have emailed support a couple of times. No response. Wondering if the yearly subscription applies to the online site also? If so what credentials do I use to log in.

En cas de petites pièces sur un panneau, la nomenclature devient illisible sur les visuels

Response from developer

Vous pouvez ajuster la taille du texte, et les couleurs des pièces peuvent également être affichées dans le PDF. Si cela ne vous semble toujours pas assez lisible, n’hésitez pas à nous contacter directement depuis l’application.
