I make signs for a living and find this app useful for its intended use. It saves time when doing several different size cuts to minimize waste. One review said 5th grade math would do the trick. You can do the same calculations on a sheet of paper with the same results however, why waste the paper? It’s not a perfect CAD design program but that’s not what I is intended to be. It’s a simple to use calculator that saves time and resources. I’ve used it from its beginning and through any and all upgrades it is still useful unlike other calculators I’ve used. Keep up the good work.
Took we a while to get used to how to add, modify or delete cuts and materials, but once I got familiar with that, this app has been perfect for me. So far, this app has done a spectacular job of optimizing materials. Has saved me a lot of time I would otherwise spend doing it with a calculator and/or graph paper. Have used it for both linear goods (such as 2x4s) and sheet goods. Also has saved me money by eliminating waste. I'm sure I've already saved the few $ this app costs. Much better overall than I would have expected.
Gives the best layout for length and area cuts, simple to use and accurate .. Saves money on materials and your time .. This is worth five stars and an app purchase fee .. Will be a favorite after first us
Saves a lot of time for cutting wood or metal. I have a machine and welding shop and use this app all the time cutting pieces out of plate or strips of metal. I used to try and figure all of this on a pad with a calculator but this makes it so much easier. You can also add for the width of your saw blade or cutting torch. Highly recommend this to machinists, welders, and woodworkers.
