Cutlist Optimizer 4 / SmartCut

This app has saved me countless dollars in product and time cutting parts and pieces for cabinetry and furniture I make. However, apparently in the new update, you cannot use voice dictation. That made answering in all of my measurements extremely quick. I’m not sure why that feature went away. Please bring it back, cut list optimizer!!

A quick simple way to optimize a cut list. It’s very intuitive with ability to use fraction or decimals. You can export as a pdf which solves the only drawback I’ve seen and that is you can’t save a file online or within the app so if you change something you’d need to input the data again. The app allows you to define the stock size and will add more stock if your original piece isn't sufficient. It displays the layout view and shows which pieces should be cut in order. Overall it works as advertised and is easy to use. Importing CAD files would be nice as well as saving the file in app but it works well and it’s free. Really glad I found it.

This app is superbly done. Data entry is easy and logical. For a detailed look at your cut list go all the way to EXPORT PDF there you can see all the data on screen and cut locations and you can print it if you like. The only thing better than the app is the developers response to help out. I had a few questions and they got right back to me and were happy to answer. If I knew how to write APP's this is the one I would write. Also no strong arming for free trials and whatnot. Rest assured if a pro version appears I will buy it without hesitation. But I can't imagine it getting much better than it is.
