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.

I like that they have joinery tools. However, the UI needs some serious improvement to function properly on mobile. The rotations are clanky and parts of the pop ups (like the angle box in the cut tool) disappear outside the screen depending on how you rotate. It's also very tedious to place accurately.

very annoying and disappointing app. Just wasted my time and my data. showing finished projects instead of creating a platform with tools for others to create the designs they want. if I wanted finished projects, won't I just go to Google and download it? very annoying app when someone chooses a box style, there is no provision to divide or add unit(s). plywood thickness is limited to 18mm, no adjustment possible. the creator of this app has to upgrade the app

Thanks for the update. The “box” structures are designed as quick starter templates, great if you just want to get going fast. For full control, use Add material > Lumber > Sheet, where you can set a variety of plywood thickness and adjust every dimension. We’re also working on adding more preset thicknesses for convenience.
