CutList Optimizer 4+

Needs fixing

I love this app it used to work great.
However, it’s started exiting the app when I try to save a CutList to PDF

Please fix this, so we can have the full use of this excellent app once again.

Thank you for your support. We have added a new export PDF function, which you can select ”Share“ in the export list.

Useful Basic Funtions But Export Is Useless

The program works quite well to set out our cutlist according to the criteria you set (although I'm still not convinced by some of these).

After trying it out for a few days I purchased a 1 month trial for £0.99 which seemed fair.

The problem is when you have your cutlist and you want to export to a pdf so you can print a sheet to work from.

Unfortunately, the export function is useless. It compresses the image so you cannot see the pieces and their dimensions. And worse, the App then just goes to a black screen that you cannot get out of. Meaning you've lost the cutlist you just created. And, in case you're wondering, there doesn't seem to be a Save function to help with this.

Really disappointing. I won't be renewing for another month - especially as it goes up to £4.99pm.

The complete lack of any Help within the App is also disappointing.

Too expensive

Hi, I do appreciate that people spend time writing these apps but my view is, you would get a better return with a less expensive product as more customers would be willing to pay.

This comes from over 30 years experience writing code myself plus running a company dedicated to developing apps.

The best success comes from a price point that was almost forgettable by the customer.

I’m sure you’ll see your profits rise if you make it more accessible to the working community, and you’ll definitely see less cancellations on renewals.

My guess is your reviews will also get much better as people will be talking about the quality of the app instead of the high price you’re attempting to charge.

This is just a suggestion, but if it were already a forgettable price, I’d have already paid for it by now instead of writing this, hopefully constructive, review.

Nice app by the way 👍
