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. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for giving our app a try. We’re sorry to hear that your free trial ended before you had the chance to fully explore all the features. We truly appreciate your feedback — we understand that learning a new tool can take a few attempts, and we’ll review how we can make the trial experience more user-friendly in future updates.

Thank you again for your honest feedback and for helping us improve! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only three free projects *2026-07-25* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-06-13* 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. **Developer response:** We’re very sorry for the issue. Please contact us through the in-app support option and share your input details. We’ll check it right away and get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for letting us know. ### 1/5 — Naze *2026-04-16* On ne peut pas se connecter à son compte ### 1/5 — Poor value *2026-03-07* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Ewen *2025-12-08* 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. **Developer response:** Si vous le souhaitez, merci de nous contacter directement depuis l’application. Je serai ravi de vous aider à vérifier les paramètres ou la méthode d’utilisation afin d’éviter des répétitions inutiles. ### 1/5 — Very frustrating *2025-10-13* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Do not have fractional unit mode *2024-12-27* In this aap the do not add faction size type like 30 3/4 or other **Developer response:** Hello, this feature has been added. Please update to the latest version. If you have any other requests, feel free to contact us anytime. Thank you for your support. ### 1/5 — Decepção *2024-12-10* Na versão do Android o aplicativo possui uma série de recursos, como: polegada fracionada; cortes que levam fita e muito mais. Na versão do IOS os recursos são extremamente limitados. **Developer response:** Agradecemos pelo seu feedback e apoio. Essas funcionalidades já estão nos nossos planos. Pedimos que tenha paciência. Obrigado! ### 2/5 — MISE EN PAGE A REVOIR *2026-06-19* En cas de petites pièces sur un panneau, la nomenclature devient illisible sur les visuels **Developer response:** 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. ### 2/5 — Only one thickness allowed *2024-06-28, version 2.15.0* No way to create new stock thicknesses so they can be on their own cultist plan. Appears this only lets you put in length and width only. No good for multiple part projects. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best so far *2026-06-08, version 3.7.4* Tried a few different apps, this one best so far ### 5/5 — Улучшение *2025-01-06* 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👍 **Developer response:** Здравствуйте, эта функция была добавлена. Пожалуйста, обновитесь до последней версии. Если у вас есть другие запросы, не стесняйтесь обращаться к нам в любое время. Спасибо за вашу поддержку. ### 5/5 — Bonne application *2024-12-14* L’application est bien avec un support technique réactif. Merci **Developer response:** Nous sommes désolés pour cette mauvaise expérience. Veuillez nous contacter via l'application et nous réglerons votre problème dans les plus brefs délais. ### 5/5 — best *2024-11-15* nest **Developer response:** Thank you for your support. ### 5/5 — bien *2024-10-15* bein **Developer response:** Thank you for your support. ### 5/5 — Nice App！ *2023-09-30* A quick simple way to optimize a cut list. It's very intuitive with ability to use fraction or decimals. You can export as a pdf which solves the only drawback I've seen and that is you can't save a file online or within the app so if you change something you'd need to input the data again. The app allows you to define the stock size and will add more stock if your original piece isn't sufficient. It displays the layout view and shows which pieces should be cut in order. Overall it works as advertised and is easy to use. Importing CAD files would be nice as well as saving the file in app but it works well and it's free. Really glad I found it. **Developer response:** Thank you for your support. ### 4/5 — Works pretty good… *2026-09-03* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 4/5 — Good *2025-10-18* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 4/5 — 5 free calculations *2025-02-09, version 3.3.11* 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 ### 4/5 — Missing stock selection for parts *2024-10-04* Great app otherwise and easy to use! Maybe add a thickness option to parts to help assign what stock material dynamically **Developer response:** Hello, this feature has been added. Please update to the latest version. If you have any other requests, feel free to contact us anytime. Thank you for your support. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
