Ratings and reviews

You don't allow me to define sheet size in 2 dimensions. Not even as "scraps". That's a terrible assumption that all our stock has the same measurements. You also assume piece size is a definite measure, not an area that can be filled with smaller pieces. I need an option allowing divided pieces. I don't need help lining up the straight edges of pieces and wasting the rest. I need help figuring out how to cut sheet material to cover a defined area with the least waste and fewest pieces.

REPLY: Best wishes! EDIT: As of this writing, 03/31/23, the price has not been "readjusted." (Still ~$18.) Dev, I cannot suggest a price, but you'll know when it's acceptable because your sales will increase. I can tell you that I don't rent (SaaS) apps. For me to use your app, you would need to offer a reasonable one-time purchase price. ORIGINAL: Subscription only at ~$18/yr. No outright purchase. Ads are too numerous.

However, cut lengths and Usable pieces should permit entry of lengths in any order. App should permit the use of decimals so that any system of measurement may be used without the need to convert to and from metric. I Have been using this app for a few years without any problems. Very good app. What I would like to have in this app is a function to properly nest parts with mitered ends, for both left and right miters of varying angles. See what you can do.
