I’ve used this app almost every working day for close to 10 years now (maybe more?) and its never let me down.

Couldn’t even calculate simple shed rafter
     
by And, by the way... · September 19, 2018

App crashed on me several times trying to figure out how to calculate a simple shed rafter with birds mouth. Docs online say they contain tutorial, it doesn’t and there are no well indexed instructions. It may be useful for some things but I feel completely ripped off for the high price and will be seeking a refund. Buyer beware!

A phenomenal app that gets better.

I make my living as a carpenter and use this app all the time. It offers truly useful features that take it way beyond your typical Construction Master. Irregular hip and valley rafter layout is made simple, and the ability to print stair sections from frame to finish (with all relevant values attached) is incredible. And the developers keep making it better with truly useful improvements. Don’t let the price put you off—it’s well worth it. Love love love this app!

Abandoned app

Email and web site is no longer valid. Big shame because this is a great construction calculator.

When I try to change any value for switch pitch roof, it automatically erasers whatever I type to make it fit its prefilled other values.

Consistently Awesome

I’ve been using this app for years. Love and was so grateful to not carry another calculator in my pouch. I use this more than any other calculator app. After reading reviews it seems like it’s one dude running the show. Even more impressive. Good job bro. Thank you for making my life easier.

Best calculator for metal work
