Can't do anything before handing over your personal info. Then, you realize that 1. you can't export your builds; they're forever stuck in the app. And 2. you can't access your builds, the ones it doesn't randomly delete, because it often gets stuck on the loading screen. If you switch apps for any reason, it forces a reload which freezes without fail, forcing you to restart (better hope you hit save). Pretty sloppy execution, to be honest. The back arrow always exits instead of going back.

Good app for planning. movement of parts is a little tricky at times. When moving longer pieces, or zooming in on pieces, the directional indicators always stay in the middle of the the piece, not necessarily where you xan actually see where you neep to put the piece. Cut guide seems a little off, and the building instructions seems to be way off for functional and logical plans. still, it's a great way to get your plans done! The app can often take forever to load or run. often crashing.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! We’re glad the app is useful for planning. We appreciate the notes on movement controls, guides, and stability, they help us identify where the experience can be improved. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.

It should be a good app due to several options but there is (1) no way to change the size of the previous materials once you add the 2nd one, (2) no undo once you are working with it and (3) if you are going to hit the back button it will leave instantly the app losing all your progress because it (4) does not have an auto save. I suppose to rate it with 1 star but since it is a free app and has potential I will leave it 3 stars. If you could fix my above concern this will be a perfect app!

Thanks for the detailed feedback. You can resize materials using the resize tool (one material at a time), and undo/redo are supported in the app. We’re aware of the back button behaviour, and an update is coming soon to make session saving more robust. We appreciate you seeing the potential and hope the improvements make it a better experience.
