No respect for loyal customers

I have had this app since I was a forth year I’m 11 years into the trade now and have paid the 1.49 price the once off lifetime price and now instalment price yous are shocking for not doing a loyalty scheme for us ogs

Good app but still got me paying the fee

Keyboard shuts off

Every time I try to input numbers it shuts the keyboard after every individual input super inconvenient and annoying bug

Response from developer

Hey Jm1133, Thanks for flagging this — we know how frustrating that keyboard issue was. A small number of phone models were affected by this glitch, and we’ve since released an update that fixes the problem. If you update to the latest version of the app, everything should work smoothly again. If you ever have any other issues , reach out through info@quickchippy.com.au and we’ll sort it out quickly. Thanks for sticking with us — we’re always working to make the experience better for you.

Not working and nowhere to contact for help

Paid for the subscription, nothing changed still can’t access anything can you please help???

Response from developer

Thanks for reaching out — that definitely shouldn’t be happening, and we’re here to help you get it sorted. Sometimes the subscription just needs a quick refresh to unlock properly, but if it’s still not giving you access, we want to take a closer look and fix it for you. Please contact us at info@quickchippy.com.au so we can check your account and make sure everything is fully activated. We appreciate your patience — we’ll get you up and running.

Truly superb

I love this app! The new stuff is next level. Thanks!

Response from developer

Hey Teddy_4321, Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! We’re stoked to hear you’re loving the new features — the team puts a lot of heart into making the app better for Chippys like you. If there’s ever anything you’d love to see next, we’re all ears. Thanks for being part of the Quick Chippy crew!

Money grabbing

After years of using the old app they decide to shut it down and charge again for the exact same thing not only that with a subscription, no thanks I’ll just go back to using a calculator

Still my go to

This was the first of it’s kind. Still does the job and makes life so much easier. Well worth the upgrades. Cheers lads

Response from developer

Thanks for your review Kev James! We’re stoked to hear from one of our many happy members. Glad you’re enjoying all the upgrades. It’s packed with new features. Keep on Chipping! 🪚🤙

Dog move by the blokes

I’ve always been an advocate for the original apps and gotten a lot of people on to it. To move the app across to a new model and charge yearly subscriptions now is an absolute dog move. You don’t even offer anything to previous customers that bought the app. Hope you guys put some serious thought in to what existing customers think. But I guess you only care about the money.

Hi Matty, We really appreciate your support over the years—it means a lot. The original apps gave users a great deal for a long time, but they were no longer viable to maintain. Quick Chippy Plus is a totally new app with more power, flexibility, and updates ahead. The move to a low-cost yearly model ($17.99) helps us keep improving it for the long haul. A membership to Quick Chippy Plus comes with much more than the original set of calculators. We understand change is tough, but we’re backing the value here—and hope you’ll see it too. —The Quick Chippy Team

Price

So we paid for the full version of the old quick chippy now we have to pay an extra $20 for the same features with a couple new ones? Don’t get this surely it should be available for purchase less the price of the old app? 🙃

Response from developer

Hi isaiahrupcic Thanks for reaching out. We hear where you’re coming from. The original Quick Chippy app served chippys well for years, but it reached the end of its life and couldn’t be updated or supported any longer. Quick Chippy Plus is a totally new app—not just a few extras. It combines all the old tools (and more) into one streamlined platform, includes the free Chippy Hub, (Have you checked this out yet?) and will continue getting updates moving forward. We’ve kept the price as low as we can—$17.99/year—to make sure it’s affordable while still allowing us to maintain and grow the app properly. We hope you’ll find it’s well worth it over the course of a year on the tools. —The Quick Chippy Team

Service issues

Having the app need phone service to work now is no good. I’m often in places with on service.

Review

Been using the app for years! Went to use it the other day to set out a veranda and realised I had to upgrade. Have done the upgrade and the new quickchippyapp is elite!! Absolutely love it

Response from developer

Thanks so much for sticking with us all these years—and for giving the new Quick Chippy Plus a crack! We’re stoked to hear it came through for your veranda set-out and that you’re loving the upgrade. Plenty more features and updates coming your way—appreciate the support, legend! 🙌🔨

Rip job.

Paid for the old app which worked fine for what I needed now the developer has shut it down and trying to force people to repay a second time for a different app.

You guys can jam it.

* thanks for the ChatGPT reply, really nails home what a money grab of an app this is.

Response from developer

Hi Burtybear82 After 14 years of service, the original Quick Chippy app has been retired. This wasn’t a decision we made lightly, but here’s why it had to happen: 1. The Technology Became Outdated Quick Chippy was built for older devices and operating systems. As technology moved forward, it became harder to keep the app running smoothly. Eventually, it reached a point where it could no longer meet modern software requirements, making it unreliable for users. 2. We Wanted to Give You Something Better Rather than patching up an old system that couldn’t keep up, we built Quick Chippy Plus — a faster, more accurate, and more reliable version of the app, designed for today’s worksites. It includes all the same trusted calculators (the ones designed by Rhino himself) plus extra features to make your day on the tools even easier. 3. This Wasn’t About Money — It Was a Necessary Change We know some chippy’s are wondering if this was just about pushing a new app. The truth is, the old version simply couldn’t keep running properly anymore. We made the call to retire it so you’d have a tool that actually works with today’s devices. 4. Quick Chippy Plus Is the Future of Carpentry Apps Quick Chippy Plus isn’t just an update—it’s the next step forward. It’s designed to grow, with future updates and new features coming to make it even better.

Probably one of the better apps

Still one of the better apps for building I’ve seen out there

Dog move to charge your users a subscription after purchasing the app previously
for little to no change.

Response from developer

Thanks for your review Dropyross. We appreciate the stars for still being a great building app. Thank you very much! We hope in time, you can see value in all the extras that come with Quick Chippy Plus. We're currently working on a big new add on! Cheers

Owner Greed

Wasn’t broken …
I still don’t understand how you can charge a subscription for something that has already been purchased..
You can charge NEW subscribers but NOT OWNERS OF PURCHASED APP ..
You haven’t changed anything in 14 years as there was nothing you could change..
I’ve also purchased quick walls years ago which I never use so I don’t need an all inclusive version within an exclusive everything app…….
I hope this totally fails for you as you are a thief………

Rip Off

I owned the old Quick Chippy which I paid for and you have made it dysfunctional so it can’t be used Only to find you now need a subscription Good Luck with your business idea. I hope it works.

Response from developer

Hi Somie21, Our original apps had become outdated and were due for a major overhaul. Many happy customers paid a snall fee many years ago.  Due to popular demand we re built them all together as one app. Yes, the new app has a fee. But it we are very sure you will cover this in time saved over the course of a year. By building the new app we have ensured oue many many customers will be able to use Quick Chippy for years to come.

Great app!

I’ve had the original for years and this one tops it

Response from developer

Hi Ajb_3 Thanks for the great feedback! We're so glad you like it. Look out for some fresh new add ons coming your way soon

Best app

The one app on my phone I’ve used for years. Happy to pay the upgrade. New version is fantastic

Awesome app

Have used the old apps for years and loved them. Was a bit disappointed they were ending but then found this and it’s great.

Terrible

Went to use my existing quick chippy app in which I PAID for a few years ago, and now it is totally unusable, pop ups telling me to download the new app, and then saying I need to make more purchases, totally outrageous.
Money grabbing thieves!

Happy to be proven wrong if there’s a way around this

Don’t download this app or make any purchases, you will be thieved

Hi Jacqueschippy, The original Quick Chippy had been around for over 12 years and was well overdue to be rebuilt. We didn’t want our valued customers to go without their app. Australia’s number one carpentry app. So we built Quick Chippy plus. This is an upgraded combination of all of our top apps. It’s really good. Yes, it’s a new app and requires purchasing. As do all great tools. We’re quite sure you’ll get exceptional value for money in time saved and mistakes avoided over the course of a year. Keep on Chipping 🤙🪚

Blatant money grabbing

I bought the old quick chippy apps, and used them occasionally. They were rife with bugs and problems but had some useful features that made it worth keeping (plus I’d already paid for them). Now the developer is bundling the apps together and expecting us to pay a subscription? Outrageous. My old quick chippy app now has an annoying pop up for the new app and then shuts down when I try to use the number one feature that I used previously - the running measurement function.

Take my advice and don’t bother wasting your money on this app - the developer is hopeless and doesn’t respond to bug reports and is clearly just trying to get money for minimal effort. There are free online sources for all the features in this app if you do a google search anyway.

Hi ChippyNick1, Thanks for using Quick Chippy in the past. Our original Quick Chippy was due for an upgrade. Due to popular demand to combine all our best selling apps, we did just that. It’s a great way to save time and avoid on site mistakes. We’re quite sure you well and truly cover costs over the course of a year. (1/2hr would do it for most) We’re sorry to loose any of our valued Quick Chippy community, but understand it happens. We’re grateful that so many others are making the upgrade with keen excitement to be the best Chippy they can.
