Not bad

Takes a little getting used to. Overall was useful but a lot to input for a cut sheet. Now it’s stuck on reading privacy updates and cannot clear

Response from developer

Hello!! Many apologies about that. there were a couple updates since then and that blockage should be fixed on all devices now. If you're app is stuck. please try the following ... open it up and leave it open for about a minute, then fully close it (not just minimize), then re-open it. They changes should then take affect on reset and you should be able to scroll to tap "agree". This is here just because of the new feature that allows you to auto-backup your data to your own cloud service (Google Drive or iCloud). Thanks for your patience with this whole thing .. it was a really weird bug where the exact same phone model with the same OS version may see or not see this bug depending on their font settings :-( Please give me another chance to increase your rating .. Happy to respond to any feedback you submit and make changes asap

Great app

Love the app.
I only have one hangup. I'd like to suggest being able to go back and edit everything in the cutlist optimizer. As of now, (unless I'm mistaking) I can't go back and edit the stock sheet size, or say, the blade kerf, after I save my cutlist. So I'd have to recreate the entire cutlist again if I want to change those options.
I'm still enjoying the app so far. Very useful!

Hello and thank you so much for the review ... I'm so glad you pointed this out!! I was so happy that I added the ability to edit the actual parts on saved cutlists and TOTALLY overlooked the ability to edit the sheet or kerf!! I'm currently working on a new cutlist for dimensional lumber. It'll be out on 2.12.0, but you're welcome to join the bets via Apple's TestFlight program and see it in action while I'm refining it. Either way, I'll add your suggestions to the TODO and make sure they're out when 2.12.0 comes out officially. Thanks and cheers!! UPDATE - we are on 2.12.9 now and you have the full capability of editing all items in the cutlist optimizer AND editing everything and re-optimizing on a saved cutlist! PLUS there is now a dimensional cutlist optimizer and a spacing calculator among many other little bug fixes and updates. Hope you love it!

Great app!

Great app! Love all of the options available. Cut sheet optimizer is great for figuring out projects the easy way. Many different calculators for figuring out different projects. Able to be in imperial or metric unit conversions. An amazing way to send estimates and invoices. Can figure hourly rate and markup into it.

Great app for woodworkers

This app is a rare gem. Not only is the app useful, easy to use, and free but, it’s also built by a woodworker. The app developer is very responsive to any feedback, comments or suggestions, good and bad, and communicates on progress. I’ve never experienced anything like it from an app developer and I’m pleasantly surprised and impressed.

If the app doesn’t work the way you want it to or the way you feel it should work, send James a note, and he’ll either make it right or explain why it works the way it does. It’s opened my eyes to different (better?) ways of tracking my shop’s inventory as well as handling sheet goods.

A++ all around. I highly recommend this app!

WOW .. that's one hell of a review!! I appreciate you very much, and I'm working hard every day to make sure we keep fixing and enhancing this app based on user feedback. I hope you have an awesome day and a fantastic 2026!!

Perfect for my projects

This app helps take some of the brain power out of my projects and has helped me enjoy my craft much more

Response from developer

Thank you!! Please let me know if you ever run across any bugs, or if you have ideas to make it better! I've got a great update coming out this week and some of the biggest fixes and features are all because of user feedback. Cheers, James

So many features! Could use some refinement

Great to have all the essential calculators in one place. I can’t believe this has a FULL inventory system, customer management, quoting, invoicing, and project management suite for free!

Just make sure to backup your data in the settings … learned that the hard way :-( They don’t save your data to the cloud so if you delete the app or lose your phone without creating a backup file you lose everything
