Bug Fix

User reviews

Keeps crashing. Unusable

I used to use this app and loved it. Now with the latest iPhone OS it crashes, even with my older iPad. It’s too bad the app was never updated.

Removed download image feature

Newest upgrade removed the download image feature- why?

Thank you for your review. Please email me at XingAppsLLC@gmail.com and we can review this issue in detail.

Poorly designed. Poor controls.

Can’t see the back and forth buttons on an iPhone 13. They are hidden under the clock and battery icons on the screen. Difficult app to use. Not worth the frustration.

Save $2…

And don’t get this very simple yet clumsy app. Easier to use paper and pencil. It can’t do anything that you can’t do…and faster. Would be great if there were more frames plus accommodation for double and triple matting. OK, if you are hopeless with math, this will help. Otherwise…fergitaboutit.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. This app is intended to be simple for those who are not able to do the math by hand. I'm sorry that you felt it was clumsy, the guided interface is intended to help users through the calculation. The app previously had a single screen for all inputs and that caused users to get confused as well. We will look into other solutions for improvement.

WORST APP IN THE HISTORY OF APPS!!

Will not let you put your n any measurements!! Changes them every time!! Completely ripped off my money for app!!

Response from developer

I'm sorry that you had issues with this app. Since all payments are handled through Apple you will need to reach out to Apple to get a refund. I won't inhibit you from getting a refund. We are working to improve this app. Kind regards,
