TOP 3 MEASURE MOBILE FLAWS
Now that we have been moved to subscription licenses for all RFMS apps, we will be moving more people to using mobile apps. We currently have 50+ PC's that are due for replacement due to age and no longer being supported by M.S. It will be much more cost effective to move them to mobile devices and onto the mobile apps but there are things that MUST be fixed.
#1 - Pattern Match Calculation. We have already had two threads on this in the last year with no movement. Some type of fix needs to be done. Give the ability to designate the first cut and then have the repeat added on all subsequent cuts, or give the ability to add user waste to individual cuts and not just at the end roll. To me, the latter would be preferred as it is a coin flip as to whether or not the e-comm or gateway product record has the match on the record. Not having to go into the product box everyday, the users forget how to manual add it.
#2 - Cut sheet & seam manipulation. Give the ability to lock cuts and seams after making a manipulation. It is extremely frustrating to have to repeat the manipulation every time you make another change, especially when you are doing it on an IPAD. Turn off Auto compress does not work because at some point you have to turn it back on to eliminate the giant waste voids that are now in the cut sheet and then it changes everything that was just done.
#3 - Lay Direction & Maximum T-seams. These need to be added into the estimate tab so you don't have to bounce back and fourth.
Feel free to add to this list, however, I feel these should be top priority as they have been brought up multiple times for more than a year with no movement.

I second and third this post!!!!
All 3 of Brian's suggestions are my MAJOR touch points as well.
Thanks for touching on this.
Ability to work with more than 1 roll. For 2 roll solution diagrams, or when the order length exceeds the roll size. (Maybe we can do this I just don't know how?) I always have to kick these over to desktop measure to complete.
We don't see that super often but that would be a helpful feature. I would have to play around with it, but I wonder if a work around might be to change the maximum cut group length in the project settings to the length of the largest roll.
