### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-02-07, version 1.015*

I paid good money for this app and it’s useless.
And there’s been hardly an update to improve it.

### 1/5 — Never worked

*2020-02-06, version 1.015*

I purchased this app yrs ago and have never been able to use it, no compability with Cricut or apple devices. Waste of money. No stars!!!

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2020-02-02, version 1.015*

You can not upload anything. Very disappointed

### 1/5 — Want my money back!!!

*2020-01-17, version 1.015*

I should have listened. Literally can do nothing in this app - can not access google drive nor Dropbox which are key for me. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2019-12-15, version 1.015*

I tried to contact the support service but nobody replied. 
Import and export functions doesn’t work, and many other little problems need to be solved 
Hope you can help me

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2019-05-16, version 1.015*

It keeps crashing, I cannot save my work ....this is a total waste of my $10 ....please do not buy this app its a waste of time. I cannot export and when I do it keeps crashing every time I would like my money back ASAP thank you

### 1/5 — Total waste

*2019-03-06, version 1.015*

Total waste of money you can’t load any files.

### 1/5 — Stinks

*2018-11-09, version 1.015*

Should have read the reviews...Can not upload any files from G drive or Drop Box. Don’t buy it

### 1/5 — No longer functional

*2018-10-13, version 1.015*

I struggled with this app for a couple of years. Now I can’t open and trace an image from any drive. Please, Please, PLEASE update this app.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t get much more complicated than this...

*2018-09-24, version 1.015*

App takes you to a place where a grid, numerous measurements and uncountable complicated buttons. A place where you are just supposed to know what everything is for.

I paid $15 for this only to later find out that it came for free with my zing but the code was nowhere to be seen in the box and the  company quits answering the phones whilst it’s day time here so seller states.

Seems this is as complicated as the zing itself.

It seems to me in order to use these machines you practically need to know how to build them first because in the manual they can’t even properly explain the important first step head ache of a chore of simply putting in the blades without damaging the machine.

This app sure does not help explain anything further to get the machine going, instead it just offers you even more frightening and complicated jargon about designing your stuff, when I’ve been using other designing sites with much more ease.

To top it all off the iPad app put up a google problem loading page and now it is stuck there with no option to go back to the app and no “x” button to close the google page. So now I can’t even get back to trying to use this app!

So I wonder how many long years this is going to take in study before I can use the machine or this app properly?

### 1/5 — A waste!!!

*2018-07-11, version 1.015*

This app would be great if you could up load files!!!! It won't allow me to access any files at all!! Worthless!!!!

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas sur mon IPad Pro

*2018-04-28, version 1.015*

Incapable d’accéder à mes dossiers sur Dropbox ou Google drive

### 1/5 — Crash

*2018-02-20, version 1.015*

Purtroppo l'app crassa in continuo, è difficile da utilizzare... per pc è un utilissimo programma, peccato sia così pessimo su ipad, non vale i soldi spesi.

### 1/5 — Stick to desktop!

*2017-11-14, version 1.015*

Too many problems with this- spent hours working on some files which now won’t export. Google drive comes up with an error. Dropbox looks like it is working but doesn’t save when you press save. I can’t get it to link to my scan’n’cut directly which wouldn’t be a problem if exporting worked. It would be upsetting if it was 99p  but at 9.99 you really need to sort out all the bugs. I would either get the app sorted or remove it.

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK!

*2017-08-20, version 1.015*

I use SCAL 4 PRO all the time.  I was hoping this would be a great addition, making it more simple to work on the run with my iPad.   I can use their simple shapes, etc., but NEVER add text of any kind and it crashes the app.  PLEASE FIX THIS APP! It would be WONDERFUL if you get all the bugs worked out!

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2017-06-12, version 1.015*

Truly annoyed, have desktop version and expected more from this, can't even do simple effects to text as in desktop version so useless and certainly not worth the price paid. App doesn't even seem to be properly developed. Terrible..

### 1/5 — NOT AN APP!!

*2017-05-30, version 1.015*

THIS IS NOT AN APP.   App is clearly NOT for use on iPad.  It has not been modified from desktop version to allow use on a tablet.  Unable to import images from photos etc because import screen has menus/folders appropriate for desktop PCs.  Does not "see" the tablet.  So-called "Help" is written for desktop PC - mentions "clicking" i.e for use with a mouse NOT a tablet, so clearly this is not a tablet version. Unable to add layers. So far unable to find any help on developers website - support pages assume you have desktop version and asks for serial number.   This is an expensive app - not sure how it got approved by Apple. Really want my money back.

### 1/5 — Unable to use!!

*2017-05-15, version 1.015*

Have not been able to use this app and totally wasted my money.  Cannot get anyone to respond to my emails for help.  Should not be allowed to take my money!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2024-04-11, version 1.023*

This crashes right away! Waste of money. I should try to get my money back.

### 1/5 — Only gets a star because I have to

*2023-03-22, version 1.023*

If you’re trying to make rhinestone templates, it’s easier to print the line design and lay the rhinestones on top than it is using this app!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Does NOT import images from anywhere!!! I completely incompatible with iPad!!! I WANT MY $10 BACK!!!

### 1/5 — No Good

*2021-01-24, version 1.023*

What a waste of $10. Got this for my iPad. BIG MISTAKE. It explains why all the videos I see are of people using this program on a desk top. The mobile versions are useless in n out of wifi. Would like my money back. Could not import anything and it kept crashing regardless of what it did.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2020-10-12, version 1.023*

I cant open any files or images on my ipad! Waste of money! I want my money back.

### 1/5 — Great purpose horrible support.

*2020-08-26, version 1.023*

I recently purchased a plotter and wanted a way to set up jobs on the go which lead me to this app which I quickly purchased. Soon after opening I realized its extremely buggy. There is no way to access files on my iPad only via cloud which closes as soon I get signed in major problem. my guess is they focus more on pc sale because of the price difference and disregard app users.This would be epic if supported properly there are millions of plotter users that need a way to setup cuts and this seems to be the answer but its broken.

### 1/5 — App does not work!

*2020-07-25, version 1.023*

A waste of $10.00!!!

### 1/5 — Save your money. One star rating because I couldn’t select zero.

*2020-06-13, version 1.023*

This app was plagued with many issues. It just recently got updated with “bug fixes”. I was looking forward to an update, due to issues in the previous version. This update is plagued with a whole new set of issues. The issues in this update should have been apparent to the developer, but it seems the app was not tested at all. You’ll notice how often this app is updated, approximately every 4 years. It shouldn’t take 4 years to fix issues, each update plagued with worse issues than the previous. I’m surprised Apple allows apps like this make it to their App Store. Apple should hold developers accountable.

I will revise this review, only if the developer takes their app serious. I’ll provide screen captures of the issues I’ve come across, including a list of the issues.

### 1/5 — Awful!

*2020-05-06, version 1.015*

I want my money back! I cannot do anything with this app. I was so excited to have SCAL on my iPad because I use it on my MAC for my business. It’s AWFUL! You literally can’t import or export anything! It’s literally worthless and I want my money back.

### 1/5 — don’t buy it

*2020-03-25, version 1.015*

This has never worked and no customer service. Just kiss your money good by! Surprised Apple allowed this  
One star because it won’t let me put no star....

### 1/5 — The app needs updates!

*2020-03-12, version 1.015*

Bad on my part. I should have read the reviews. I am unable to upload things in to edit. I’m not happy at all. I’m not sure why this hasn’t been updated or anything like that.

### 5/5 — Updated review

*2016-01-01, version 1.008*

Since the most recent update, this app is great! I love being able to work on a design on my iPad, save and then sent to cutter! Wahooo! One happy scrapper! 😊

### 4/5 — Handy to have SCAL for iPad

*2019-10-13, version 1.015*

I have been using Sure Cuts A lot 3 app since 2014. I began with an iPad 2 and now use it on an older iPad Pro and find it most useful and stable. Saving designs, exporting and importing, I choose Google Drive. For some reason the app does not recognize Overdrive but I can also save locally onto iPad. 
The trace function is very accurate. I do wish I could choose a resolution for exporting SVG files as my cutter is not listed in SCAL but requires its own software and SVG files import into that software smaller than created in SCAL. 
The font function is especially handy with the use of the AnyFont app to install fonts onto the iPad.
Sure Cuts A Lot for the iPad does not have all the bells and whistles of v5 I use on my laptop but it packs in a lot of functions for a $10 app that I use several times a week. 
I removed a star in rating because of lack of updates. Every time I update OS I sweat that it won’t work on the newer but so far so good on iPadOS 13.1.2. The lack of interest in this app from CraftEdge is disappointing.

### 3/5 — Updates please!

*2018-09-02, version 1.015*

We paid $10 for this and would appreciate periodic updates. Once per 2 years is not that great. Would like to be able to access my designs on my OneDrive.

### 3/5 — Sure Cut A lot

*2017-03-02, version 1.015*

It's ok not like computer one a little slower... but work for when I'm on the go..just have to play with it a little to get use to it..but $10.49 could been a little more faster... and wish it could just load images from photo my IPad without having to use other apps...

### 3/5 — It's o-kay

*2015-10-26, version 1.007*

I purchased the app to be able to work on projects on the go, when I cannot be at my computer. It has not worked out the best. App shuts down when trying to change font.

### 3/5 — not very good

*2015-04-08, version 1.005*

this app is not worth $10... closes alot and when you do text there is no way to close the text and go back to the design

### 3/5 — App shuts down

*2014-12-18, version 1.003*

Good app but when I change font it closes

### 2/5 — Crashes constantly:-(

*2016-05-07, version 1.011*

Good app with lots of potential if only it would stop crashing constantly!!!!:-(

### 2/5 — Seems incomplete

*2016-01-25, version 1.011*

This is ok for editing simple designs, but the lack of shape tools and a more versatile pen tool hold this back from being a useful creative tool. There a better vector editors available and if I'm near my cutter, I'm also near a computer. I look forward to more improvements because SCAL 4 on the desktop is great!

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2015-11-19, version 1.007*

App crashes when I try to select a font.
