Not sized for iPhone 17

View cut off, not sized properly. App not useable.

I have an update in the pipeline now that addresses some iPhone concerns. Look for an update in the next few days as I'm just waiting for Apple to review and approve it. -Dave

Bad design

This app basically does nothing. It does not work, don’t waste your time

Response from developer

This is a very niche applicaiton, and I am aware of some usability issues on my early versions. I have an updated version in the process of being reviewed by Apple and hopefully being released in the next few days. If there is specific functionality you are unable to use or need some help with any of it, please let me know.

Total waste of 99 cents

This app is complete garbage. I’ve heard there are “so many great apps” available for making cutting boards. This one however, not so much. Save your dollar and steer clear of this one!

Doesn’t display correctly

I was very excited for this app but unfortunately it needs to be updated to display properly on newer iPhones. It is unusable in the current state.

Completely broken

A lot of the app is cut off, off screen. Important buttons are off screen and text is unreadable. Can't scroll content. Utterly unusable.

Fix the screen size iPhone!

Can’t really see it on the iPhone. Screen won’t scroll and the app is too large for the iPhone.

Disappointed

The scaling of the app doesn’t fit the screen. Can’t read some of the text

Does not help!

I have tried using the app several different times but it doesn’t work correctly. First, it is too big for my phone screen. Second, I have tried inputting projects but it won’t take the dimensions I want to use. Third, the math isn’t mathing. I will go back to doing the math myself.

As for inputting projects with specific dimensions, I am aware of some tradeoffs with the UI controls (sliders vs. text inputs). I will take a look at some options to alleviate this issue. As for the calculations, if there is something that isn't 'mathing' I'd love to know what part isn't correct. Otherwise, some of the cost and material usage does include a 'waste factor'. As with a lot of projects in woodworking, it's pretty difficult to have an accurate calculation that aligns with actual material usage.

Layout broken

But for $.99 it was worth it. But the layout doesn’t even fit the phone screen. So if you use this half the screen won’t even show up.

Layout broken, elements inaccessible. Did you not test this?

Doesn’t work. The layout is truncated on all sides, can’t resize or scroll. The text and fields are off the screen and inaccessible.

As for testing it: Originally this was intended for iPad size screens, as well I had offered up beta testing to a large group of people. Unfortunatley in a testing phase, it's hard to get a lot of feedback. With many of these app projects, issues don't actually get communicated until it's released live. As new iOS versions come out, I'll try my best to accomodate. -Dave

Not working at all.

Won’t fit to screen then cannot scroll in landscape. Unfunctionable to start.

Not happy

I’ll just say I was very optimistic when I purchased this app. I spent about two hours uploading picture of woods pricing per board foot etc. I then built multiple projects to show folks what the colors of the woods look like together and what my material costs would be. After I built all that a few days later I went to open up a project and the entire app was missing everything I built into it Projects wood library prices all of it. I have sent emails to developer and have heard nothing and got no response all said and done. This is the first review o have ever written and I am sad to say that I would not recommend this app. Not because there was an issue, but because the developer did not have e the courtesy to respond to my issue. By the way I can’t even reinstall all my data the app won’t accept any inputs at all it’s functionally useless. I hope this review can prompt the developer to fix what I thought could be a nice product

Response from developer

I'm sorry for your experience. I was hoping to have a larger feedback bucket during the beta testing, however real issues typically don't get noticed untl something goes live. I also apologize if you didn't get a response. To be honest I don't get any notifications from these reviews and I have to filter through thousands of spam emails from the website. This is a side-project for me, but I'll try to do better where I can. That being said, I am aware of the data storage issue. I am actively putting together a better system to store projects so you could even switch devices (phone-iPad->etc) and still see the same projects. Updates are in the works. Thank you again for your feedback and I hope the upcoming versions can address these issues. -Dave

Do not buy

Does not work

Nice App

Took me a couple minutes to figure out how to use it but I think this is excellent for the money! I can build a board in real time and have estimates on board feet and costs to make the design. The 3d rendered object is pretty sweet too and easy to use.

Response from developer

Thank you for the review! This has been a side project for me and I hope to be making some improvements soon.

Absolutely Useless

An incomprehensible app design that provides no info that is useful. No way to see the project, no way to understand the few inputs and of course you get nothing worthwhile. A waste of $1.

Response from developer

I would like to hear more about what specifically doesn't work. As it's a tool for helping to calculate and plan woodworking projects, I didn't focus on a fancy design. If you have suggestions on what can be improved, I would love to hear them. Thank You. - Dave

Not a finished app

It doesn’t give you a cut list.
You can’t set up a board size and then get any cut list based on the project size you want to make.
This app is not ready should’ve been free till it’s ready. It’s missing features
