### 2/5 — Good working app, needs improvement.

*2024-09-25, version 1.3.18*

Unfortunately, the app requires a network connection to calculate/nest pieces. Very frustrating when I was trying to work with my client at their remote location. I wont be renewing subscription unless this is resolved. Otherwise, it seems to work just fine. I like the app but $50.00 a year is a lot of money.

Revised:  app has issues displaying the correct number of sheets and cuts when using multiples of identical pieces. Caused me to make a costly error already. Needs work.

### 2/5 — Testing it now

*2024-06-28*

First problem is there seems no way of adding separate thickness stocks and having it plan for that. This appears to simply assume all stock is the same thickness, so puts them all on the one sheet for cutting. No good when you have multiple sheet or variable stock sizes.

### 2/5 — No free trial

*2024-02-15*

No free trial which is very bad and you guy needs to do something about it. I couldn’t pay it for a friend to try as he works on his projects

**Developer response:** It actually has a 7-days-free-trial after the subscription and you can cancel the subscription at anytime during the trial period.

### 1/5 — Total rip-off.

*2023-02-02*

They want $50 a year to use their software which is patently egregious. 

You can’t set sheet thicknesses for projects with different sheetgoods. Grain orientation should be selectable per piece- not per project.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the comments. We do have an option to set the grain orientation per piece - the "Rotatable" option at the end of each line. Our software has been used by thousands of residential and commercial projects, saving materials, time and efforts.  It is probably the best and easit solution in the App Store.

### 3/5 — Nice but way to expensive for this type of app

*2023-01-19*

The app works well but the cost is way to much for a simple app like this.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2023-01-17, version 1.3.17*

For 9 month I have been trying to find an app like this and finally I have found it! I am using it for my granite and Quartz business, so I can get the most out of each slab on rough quotes to customers. This app is ideal! Amazing!

### 5/5 — SheetCut

*2023-01-16*

Great program, simple easy to adjust and many options

### 5/5 — Simple and efficient

*2023-01-08*

No ads, does the job, simple. Love it.

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2022-12-27, version 1.3.17*

You can download for free, then you PAY,PAY,PAY EVERY MONTH, You can’t buy a limited non-commercial use version! This is only for commercial use! I would pay for a 1-2 project version! But as a hobbyist it’s just not worth the recurring cost! On the Free trial I input 6 parts of 1 size,16 of a 2nd size. The layout left off 3 of the the 1st part, and 5 of the 2nd part. That was as far as I looked. I couldn’t trust this software and quit checking its accuracy. The total difference amounts to buying 3 sheets of plywood when it would require 4 to cut all parts. Also there is NO option to print the layout to so you can take to the shop to print the layout to cut parts.

Developer didn’t like this review, they didn’t like the fact that I was looking for a hobby version to use!  They did not read what was written,but read what they misunderstood!  And if they had bothered I would have shown them their layout left off parts and they wouldn’t listen or care so I deleted it, so there is still a bug floating in there

### 1/5 — Kötü

*2025-10-13, version 1.3.18*

Uygulama ölçüyü tam yazmamıza ramen kesimi eksik veriyor bife aylık para veriyoruz ,rezalet

### 1/5 — Poor guidance

*2025-04-11, version 1.3.18*

There is no option in the app to add edge banding to the piece cutting. I asked the support team for help and explanation and they referred me to this tile slab cutting!!!! Poor support, I regret paying for it.

### 1/5 — Unusable without Subscription

*2025-03-01*

Don’t bother spending time entering your measurements. It just prompts you to pay monthly for it. Happy to pay for apps. But not as a subscription.

### 1/5 — Not so free

*2024-01-18, version 1.3.18*

As a hobbyist woodworker, this seams to be a great help. My project needed two sheets of plywood. 

Well the layout for the first sheet of plywood was free.  But, the second sheet was $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year with automatic renewal.

For a flat fee of $4.99, OK.

I’m sorry! I will go back to paper and pencil for 4.99 a month!!!

### 1/5 — Either it is or I am missing something

*2024-01-10*

Maybe ‘cut level’ refers to wood thickness, but I don’t think so. Nor do I know what it means & there isn’t a guide available. Regardless, there’s not a field for stock thickness, so unless one intends to build with only one material, this app is either tedious (needing to create multiple lists for the same project, manually labeling thickness) or trash. My current project requires 2x4s, 1X3s, 3/4’ and 1/4’ ply but I see no evident way to differentiate the 3rd dimension. Nonetheless, I did try to create a list and run it but was met with, ‘please enter all dimensions,’ which I had.

**Developer response:** Greetings from Measure Square, thank you for the comments. The higher "cut level", the higher yield rate but with more complex layout.  Please just run the same project a few times with different cut levels, and you'll see the differences and understand it better. Indeed we don't support thickness so far, but we'll consider it for the future update, thank you for the great suggestion!

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2024-01-02, version 1.3.18*

There is no any customer support and no any contacting person. I have canceled my subscription then also money is debited and after that there is no any customer care contact please don’t buy subscription

### 1/5 — Pretty much useless unless you pay

*2023-10-03*

There is no point in downloading this app unless you intend to pay the subscription.
Or if you only need to cut one board….

### 1/5 — suscripción mensual o anual requerida

*2023-08-07, version 1.3.18*

Deberían avisar que se trata de una versión demo ANTES DE LA DESCARGA!!!!
Sería bueno estar enterados antes acerca de los precios.

### 1/5 — Üyeliği nasıl iptal ediyoruz

*2023-05-09, version 1.3.17*

Nasıl üyeliği iptal ediyoruz her ay kesiyor hat üzerinden ücreti

### 1/5 — Teaser

*2023-03-28*

Won’t waste my money when FREE online stuff does the same.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the comments. We're trying our best to make the software easy and convenient to use and cover the most important business sceanrios. We're also providing timely customer support whenever our customers are having any issues in using the software. Apparently you can compare those "free online stuff" with our software and make your own decision about which one suits your needs better.

### 5/5 — Excellent tool

*2026-04-29*

I saw the older reviews and almost turned away, but after using free website like cultist optimizer, I wondered if they fixed the issues mentioned, and indeed they did. 

I recently downloaded this app and I’ve been thoroughly impressed with its accuracy on the sheet cut out, and the fact that I can export to a PDF was a huge plus. 

The app was smooth and simple to use, logically laid out, and it even had the blade thickness already put in, which was also another plus. When doing manual calculations I sometimes forget to include Blade thickness in my calculations and end up having to redo entire sheets. Thankfully, this app automatically includes the standard 0.13 which is the equivalent of a 1/8 inch sawblade. 

Developers? If you’re reading these comments, don’t change a thing. It’s working right now as of April 29, 2026. Everything works as advertised and I love it. Don’t touch it, leave it alone. I just updated my iPhone to the latest iOS release two days ago and your app is still working so please leave it alone. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Ok

*2026-03-16, version 1.3.18*

Ok

### 5/5 — Excepcional

*2025-09-25, version 1.3.18*

Me sorprendió en todos los aspectos y agradezco demasiado que sea gratuita y que no sea como otras que con dos o tres pruebas ya quieren que se pague membresía 🫶🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — Woodcut

*2025-06-13, version 1.3.18*

Plycut or woodcut

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-02-11*

It’s a great and simple app for optimize our cuts, I love it

### 5/5 — Улучшение

*2025-01-06, version 1.3.18*

Прошу добавить возможность добавления кромки по краям деталей. Желательно иметь возможность добавлять 2 вида кромки разной толщины для каждой детали. В файле dxf размеры должны быть указаны с учётом толщины кромки, то есть уменьшаться на толщину кромки со стороны нанесения. В остальном все нравится.

### 5/5 — Help

*2024-12-06, version 1.3.18*

I don’t understan what mean “cut level”

### 5/5 — Great APP

*2023-08-02*

This is a great app for sheet goods, easy and best of all simple to use.

**Developer response:** Greetings from Measure Square, thank you for the great review. We continue improving on our app to provide the best estimating software for our customers. Connect with us any time at support@measuresquare.com

### 5/5 — Раскрой

*2023-06-15, version 1.3.17*

Прошу внести изменения в приложение, а именно: разрешить раскрой материала при имеющихся остатках. Не выдавать ошибку о том что не хватает материала. При этом показать какие детали не вошли в раскрой.
