Cut Calculator for Negative User Reviews

✓ Can't see the point of this appIf it worked out area cuts then it might be of use but just to work out linear cuts then it' s hardly worth getting the iPad out..Fed Up ^2Version: 2.0

✓ JunkI would gladly delete this app for my $5 back. My cut list would be from white melamine sheets so grain direction is irrelevant. Even without entering a blade cut thickness this program had me hacking up a whole sheet when I can get it out of a half sheet. Figuring it out myself also allowed me to line things up better and do less cuts..UnchaoticVersion: 3.11.1

✓ Nice but glitchyThis app is fairly basic, would be nice if it were able to create cuts for different wood thicknesses without having to create a new list for every size. But it’s something and the price is right..Pots usVersion: 3.11.1

✓ Easy but too simple for shop use.I guess I could sum up my review with you get what you pay for. The most glaring omission is the inability to include material thickness in sheet goods calculations. I commonly use 1/4", 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4" thick plywood and/or mdf in a project. There is no way to enter these thicknesses in you cuts or materials. I can't use this for what I do. I gave it 2 stars because it is very easy to use and can quickly do 5th grade math and save you 20 seconds of figuring..Griz_PharmVersion: 3.11.1

✓ Nice but could be easier to useThe input interface is not very intuitive. A more positive enter or save button for each step would help (For example if you do not enter the unit like inches, you can hit done and nothing happens). A training video or real instruction would help. Overall a good value but with just a few tweaks it could be a killer..Nikki998877Version: 3.11.1

✓ Good valueJust started using this today, and I'm new to woodworking. For the small cost it seems like a good way of not wasting brain power, timber and money! Pretty easy to use, helpful hints too. It would be better if your different cuts were colour coded, like some of the other apps, but then again, they're more expensive, so I guess you get what you pay for.BeachlandsforsaleVersion: 3.11.1

✓ Worked until iOS 14.Will not open in iOS 14. Not good when I have a bunch of projects saved. Before that it was 5 stars. I hope they fix..MacmanPilotVersion: 3.11.1

✓ CrashesCrashes when I try to export file or to print. Does not auto save work. Bottom of calculator disappears after entering first dimensions. A chore to use..HunontherunVersion: 3.11.1

✓ Waste of moneyI guess this is another app that gets its reviews from a review farm. It’s UI is not well thought out. The algorithm that lays out the cuts is not accurate - it is, in fact, the worst I’ve used. It’s only good feature is the ability to mix metric with imperial. If you’re looking for an app to efficiently layout your cuts this ain’t it..HopperFanVersion: 3.11.1

✓ PDFs creation not workingWhen trying to create a pdf for printing I just get a blank page, making it worthless if I can't leave a printed cut list with the timber merchant. I emailed the developer, but 20 days later still no reply..... VERY POOR SERVICE.Sooty1957Version: 3.11.1

✓ Ok...but could be way better.I’ve used different and more expensive software before. For wood working, I typically use multiple sizes of wood to complete a project. There is no way to enter in multiple material sizes under 1 plan. Only cut lengths. If you plan on using different size lumber 2x4, 1x3, 4x4 for example you need to create a different plan for each, which seems counterintuitive to me. I have no problem spending time setting up the available materials and designating under the cuts what material is needed. It is a simple add to the software that will take it further. Since it only really does 1 size at a time, I can work that out on paper like other reviewers have stated..Tt0784846Version: 3.11.1

✓ Does not work from stock on the shelf it would appear.Works great for my linear cut lengths but I can see not way to enter in the quantity of variable stock lengths that I have on the shelf. It assumes that I will buy the lengths that I have entered should the cut list require more. App has some use if I am using full lengths but a shopping list to me defeats the object of optimising what I have in stock..Southern RiggingVersion: 3.11.1

✓ It’s Fair, cannot read all the numbers on the layoutIt is pretty straight forward but one you have your layout plan it is very difficult to read the dimensions. And if you print it out it is a very small printout that you can barely read. And it cuts off numbers. I’m trying a different app.TTTTTTTTTTGGGGGGGGGGVersion: 3.11.1

✓ Can’t print won’t printGreat app it’s simple to use and I like it a lot. However the print function fails every single time crashing the app. It should convert the layout into pdf and print accordingly… it used to work and now it simply fails. Please fix it.Prd2srvVersion: 3.11.1

✓ Could more accurateIt doesn't not organise the cuts very well to save material..Close downVersion: 3.11.1

✓ Basic CalculatorDoes a decent job of fitting pieces into a sheet of plywood but doesn’t fit them in for optimal ripping on a table saw. Pieces are placed in the sheet as long as they fit without regard to straight line cutting..Johnny2015AVersion: 3.11.1

✓ Meh, not really.I used the original freeware cutlisting software way back when, and as rudimentary as it was over 10 ago, it blows this away w/ early 90s graphics. This app is fine to see how much material you'll need for a project but doesn't seem to take into account maximization of unused material or preferences for initial cuts being of rip or chop. It also doesn't seem to register preference of grain direction. What's killing me the most is that there's no manual placement so you can't move the pieces! Why can't I fix this app's horrible layouts? I wanna line pieces up along long initial rip cuts but this has me making a million little shorty cuts. Yeh right! No me, no way, not now, not ever! This has a pretty interface and is all polished up but no. I'd rather use my pencil LOL.FUCHTARDVersion: 3.11.1

✓ One trick pony, not very usefulThought that this app would give me a good cutting pattern. It doesn't. It's simply an area calculator that calculates the least amount of material waste. The cutting pattern in my first project doesn't make sense on the saw. Would be much more useful if one could move the pieces around to manually create a sensible cutting pattern. It could then simply report the waste factor, which really is all it does now. Not worth $5. Needs to calculate real world cutting patterns..TuckerguyVersion: 3.8.2
