### 1/5 — Frozen at the start,

*2023-05-29, version 3.5*

I will give it a chance and try again laterHope it works looks awesome

### 1/5 — I wonder if it is any good?

*2021-02-13, version 3.5*

I tried a few times to get it to load. I even deleted and reinstalled. Still nothing.

### 1/5 — Problem

*2021-01-31, version 3.5*

The new app does not work, it goes to video and the screen is blank.  It does go to the guild but no audio.  Also can not get to the free site Home Screen.

### 1/5 — App won’t open

*2020-05-06, version 3.4*

App goes through permissions requests but is stuck on loading screen.

### 3/5 — Wouldn’t work

*2020-05-01, version 3.4*

Seems like a what would be good app, but I couldn’t get it to work. Wouldn’t load anything. Looks cool though. I may try again.

### 4/5 — The BEST content

*2020-04-14, version 3.4*

Just the best tutorials on the web for so much of woodworking. The app is great for watching the latest updates, and it would be even better if the search function worked, but it doesn’t seem to work for me.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-03-26, version 3.4*

This app doesn’t load half the time. When it does, it only loads select content. Many of the tabs won’t load anything. This app is super buggy. Tried deleting and redownloading, tried restarting, tried everything. Developers seemed to have forgotten about this app or something because it looks like it only gets updates maybe once a year, if even that.

### 5/5 — Excellent for Woodworkers!

*2020-01-10, version 3.4*

First off, this app works exactly as intended, and is extremely helpful. I’m often traveling to different saw mills and this will come in very handy to calculate price. It is NOT for determining construction lengths or costs, I’ve seen a few negative reviews because of complete user error. I agree that it would be helpful to save notes etc, but my review is on what the app says it is and it gets 5 stars for that! Thank You for making this!

### 2/5 — Fix the search bar please

*2020-01-08, version 3.4*

I’m sure the app has a ton of great content. Although, I downloaded it for a specific project and the search bar function is defunct. Please fix?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t open

*2019-09-24, version 3.4*

Unfortunate.
