I downloaded the app to identify some of the project woods I had accumulated over the years and didn’t know what they were. After a couple of questionable identifications I decided to identify a group of marked samples I had from an online supplier. I left out some of the more uncommon ones and used the more common woods used by hobbyists and professionals alike. The results were so far from accurate I don’t understand how they advertised it as an identification App. I would never trust anything with a 2 out of 16, real world accuracy rating. The great thing is that if you have any wood that is chocolate or brownish in color, 90% of the time it’s walnut.

Materials list: Metric. Hardware list: Metric. Cut list photo identification uses numbers (1-17) for example. Cut list is in standard inches and is identified with letters instead of just matching the photo cut identification with the numbers. Like the idea of this app as I’m a carpenter professionally signed up for a trial just to get some project ideas. I could see beginners getting confused or intimidated by how some aspects of the app are set up. Judging by some of the other reviews I’ve seen (after downloading and signing up for the trial) it sounds like this isn’t the only odd issue. Highly underdeveloped for the price you would expect a beginner to pay for the services provided.

It popped up on an add on fb . I clicked the link and it said “get” with in app purchases. Did not say anything about having to purchase the app itself . So I click “get” and next thing I know I have been charged $22 dollars . So if you think the app is free and think you can purchase only what your interested in or wanting to build your wrong . Don’t download unless you want charged immediately before finding out if the app is even good or not
