Not a Drawing App at All

Be clear, this is in no way a drawing or planning app - it is a “wood supply” app.. which, frankly, seems kinda useless.

Help

Is this a subscription that I inadvertently signed to for? If so, I want to cancel but cannot find any contact information for the app developer “Thomas Linden” Help!!

Doesn’t work!

Absolutely useless and a waste of money. Doesn’t work at all.

Awesome app!

This app is awesome. I had over 300 2”- 4” wide boards to cut of varying lengths. This app not only helped me determine how much material to buy but which parts to cut from each board. The customer support was almost immediate as I figured out how to use the app and print my cut list

Good but now what I was looking for

This app is decent but I was looking for more of the drawing and visualizing part

Good but needs improvement

Hard to see names, uses small light grey font. Wish I could switch width and length easier when grain not an issue. Wish I could name boards to better track scraps.

Nice app

Just bought it. Has nice features like adding new materials types and prices to calculate costs. Can’t tell if the measurements in the app use nominal or actual sizes and whether I need to adjust for that.

Useful, but could use some updates

First, this app does exactly what it says - it helps you plan out your next build. That said, I do have a few complaints. Or, rather, suggestions for improvement. First, it’s not iPad optimized; I have a phone sized display in the center screen that’s difficult to use. Second, the sizing is done by a scrolling wheel for inches and fractions; putting in a piece that’s 84” long means scrolling all the way to 84. A simple keypad would alleviate this. Third, there’s no option for plywood as a building material, only a generic “wood” option.

In light of these shortcomings, I can only give it 3 stars for the moment. If these were addressed, I wouldn’t hesitate to give 5 stars.

Waste of money

Complete waste of money. Don’t have any feature except nonsense. Can do better with a pen and paper. Got cheated.

Awesome

Very useful. Saves time on my projects. Best customer support of any app I have used making this a gem of an app. Save time and money, improving my bottom line.

Very useful

Does exactly what it says. I use it all the time, for remembering dimensions of all sorts of sites and workpieces around the house.

I wish it had an option to sync by iCloud instead of Dropbox. I wish it were quieter about syncing unless it's taking a while. I'm still giving it five stars.

AR measurements would take it to a whole other level.

Great app

Super useful. Save trips to/from home depot!

Very useful, works great

App works exactly as advertised, easy to learn, very useful. Sorts my parts quickly. Worth the purchase!

Absolutely worthless

Doesn't work at ALL. After creating a cut list and then imputing the material you have, it goes into a spinning orange wheel of death which it never comes out of. Waste of money. Wish I could get refunded.
