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

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.

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.

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.

Sucks

This app sucks. I put everything in, pressed the play button, and it showed all the input but no image for the plywood cuts. I tried it several times, and it used up one of my free tries each time even though nothing had changed in my input. What a complete waste of time.

Good App

The app is substantially cheaper than the desktop version but there is no user login so you can’t use the app as a subscriber.

Poor value

In world of subscription based apps. This is no different, just another company trying to bleed its customers for every penny. In the world of Ai why would anyone waste their money on this app? Get out of the subscription model and maybe but for now. It is time for Ai.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that many users have concerns about subscription models, so the app also provides a limited number of free uses so users can try the main features first. Subscriptions help support ongoing development, algorithm improvements, and long-term maintenance. While AI tools are growing rapidly, efficient cutting optimization still requires specialized algorithms designed for real manufacturing scenarios. We will continue improving the app to provide better value for our users.

Je mets seulement une étoile parce que je trouve que après quelques explications mon prof m’a dit que tout était faux, du coup j’ai dû recommencer, recommencer, recommencer, recommencer, recommencer. Puis après ça m’a dit de payer 40 € par année et moi je gagne pas dix euros par mois.

Good

App is good. I reached out to customer service, about an issue I was having recalculating after making changes to settings. It took a few days to get it figured out but they did help me. Having to change setting through the gear icon to get changes to update instead of being using the setting tab that is on the screen when you are looking at your cut diagram is a little frustrating but it works. It would be nice to have a recalculate button or have the setting tab on the cutlist screen update instead of having to exit out of that screen. But otherwise I like the app and cutlist are easy to export to mark up or to print.

Thank you very much for your feedback! We’re glad the issue was resolved and appreciate your suggestions — we’ll consider improving the recalculation process in future updates.

Very frustrating

Customer service is garbage. There is no recalculate button and no matter what changes I make in setting it keeps giving me the exact same results. There is no option for prioritizing rip or crosscut just vertical or horizontal stripe cutting. I’m sure that is supposed to be the same thing but the terminology is dumb. No matter which one you choose it always has a cross cut priority. I had high hopes for this app but it is just like everything else. Half hearted developers just trying to make a dollar and don’t really care about the quality of their product or customer base.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience. The issue you mentioned usually happens when the settings are not saved before recalculation. Also, the “vertical/horizontal” option represents the same idea as rip and crosscut — just different terminology. We’d love to help you get the best results. Please reach out via the “Feedback” section in the app so our team can guide you step-by-step. We truly appreciate your support and are committed to improving the app experience for all users.

5 free calculations

Its a clever app and very handy to be able to use your old peaces of materials with an easy app to navigate, it is a shame it is a subscription based service, i would prefer a one off payment option because this app, i would definitely use for the rest of my life i just don’t want to pay $70 per year. I think its a great idea for an app

Way too limiting

This seems like a good app, but we’re only given five free tries to decide. It took all five before I finally figured out how to use it, but by then I had to pay to continue. What a waste! The industry standard for apps like this seems to be to give users a few days to figure it out, not a few attempts. Since I’m still not sure this will work for me after my free “trial” I’ll be checking out the competitors. Or maybe I’ll just stick to pen and paper. Trying to find a useful alternative is proving to be a waste of time. It seems no one has made a good app yet to perform this function.

Улучшение

Прошу добавить возможность добавления кромки по краям деталей. Желательно, чтобы можно было добавить 2 вида кромки с разной толщиной. В этом случае в файле DXF размер детали должен уменьшаться на толщину кромки. В остальном всё хорошо👍
