Ratings and reviews

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.

I think this app is great! I've been working on a project for months now. I love it! Loading time is very slow, but I assume will get better. 2 main thoughts that could make it better: 1. Stop allowing the back button on my phone to default to exit out of the app. When I accidentally hit the back button (other apps use this to go back a step in the app), it exits out. With the loading time being so long, this accident makes me want to quit the app. 2. To know if all is touching the floor evenly.
