Great app. I've had it for years, just getting around to reviewing it. Yes, I can do it with a normal construction Calc but this just makes it too easy
App is only runs in inches you cant change it to millimeters so you end up needing to convert it yourself so it takes longer but works fine if you work in inches. Would give 5* if they added the option to change system.
As a long time carpenter I can say this app is one of the most important tools I have when it comes to building railings, and comes in handy for other times you want something equally spaced out. On Android when wanting text to speech you just have to long press column header. Kudos to the devs!
Fantastic app, use not just for balusters/spindles but for wardrobe manufacturer, paneling, easy to adjust values, saves alot of maths.
Can't get it to work in mm, all in inches
is there a way to change from inches to millimeters or centermeters?
cant get beliw 35 deg. tried to change in preferences developer is wrong, waste of my time. asking for refund.
Great app! had it on my iphone and had the option for "speak" so it spoke the dimensions which was nice. switched to android and don't see that option now. is there a setting I'm missing?
Does exactly what I want, never had any issues with its function, HUGE time saver. Well done! And thank you
I do railings every day 6 days a week and I use this app almost every day. It is truly a money maker
