I.D. Wood App Reviews

Ok for what it has but I was very dissaponted that the available choices are very limited at best. This site should be a resource for all woods. There are too many missing species to give this a high (professional) rating. I look forward to updates.

Good app but color is not correct all the time. It will say white wood and show a grey sample.

Very nicely executed application. However there this application is missing a lot of important content. For example: Spruce is only shown as "Spruce" when key variants such as Sitka and Adirondack are not included. The same with Rosewood where variants are key such as Brazilian, East Indian, and others have significant differnces in sustainability and application. In terms of grading exotics there is no discussion of AA, AAA, AAAA, and AAAAA which describes the quality/depth of figure in the woods. Add more detail and more comprehensive glossary and I will upgrade my rating.

It is what it is. Not alot of wood samples. Not even birds eye maple. Very few exotics. Fair - at best.

This app has a lot of potential but it is not there yet. The domestic woods are limited. One glaring error I noticed is that Black Oak is listed as another name for White Oak. Black Oak is in the Red Oak family and marketed as Red Oak. Hopefully the app will continue to improve and become the killer app it could be.

No Lyptus? No Mesquite? No Padauk? These and other gaps really limit the usefulness of this app. If they keep expanding it, it has promise. But its current limitations really hurt.

If you work with various woods this is a very useful app. Really user friendly. It has also just been updated and was greatly improved. If this type and quality of update keep coming this app will quickly become my favorite!

I love all the additional woods added this was a great update. If you need to show your customers what choices to use for cabinets or flooring and fill them in on info of each woods characteristics this is the perfect app to use. All in all I think a great job, thanks for the update and keep up the good work.

if I could change anything, I would have two images available for some of these woods. also, an increased library of woods would be wonderful. however, congrads, this is a helpful thing and great idea for an app!

The program does not work. It crashes after loading.

Searches always lead to thumbnail with no cross reference to durability, sustainability etc. Must browse through long lists for this data. Info button should show more info on displayed species, not about product developer! Lame. What is source of sustainability data? Would be better if referenced actual FSC certification stats. Sorry I paid 2.99 for this app.

A lot of information, but without simple options to navigate the site it is tedious. You have to page through all of the indices sequentially - it is not possible to move directly to any of them.

I dont like this app it only has 1/4 of the kind of woods out there it is not worth the money

Easier to show my clients what options there are. Great app!!!

I like this app in helping me identify wood I am not yet used to. However, it needs updating as there is a lot of wood not yet in data base. Some woods used in turning really need included- different types of Olive, box elder, are just a couple.

There is an extremely limited database. The application setup is not user friendly, and the app often crashes. Overall, for any serious woodworker it is a waste of money.

the 5 stars is for the ipad it is hard to navigate the app on the iPhone

Very limited data base. Only 1 sample pic per species. I work with a lot of exotics, and extremely limited there:•((

Great info for everyday common woodworkers

Lots of great information about hundreds of wood species. Only thing that occurs to me to improve is the search engine. The search function produces results do infrequently, Ive learned NOT to use it, which makes finding info more challenging.
