Too unwieldy to use
I just purchased this in order to figure a stairway that will rise 7' with a 4' landing and another 7' rise. There is nothing intuitive about this and there are no instructions. Save your money. Now if I can just get the App Store to refund my $6.99.RevB
Developer Response
Hi RevB, Sorry you were not happy with the experience. You can get detailed help on each button by double tapping it. Also the 'help' button on the top Left of the screen gives a quick overview. You do not need to enter in any order and values are saved as changed and recalculated. Main choices are to 1): Select whether the overall stair rise or run are both changing or either is fixed -' Long Press' to Change (orange Buttons). 2): Select if restrictions are to apply - 'Long Press' - ON or OFF - scroll up to set restrictions values. Please email us from Setting -> More Information->Support and we are more than ready to assist. Kind Regards StairCalc - Developers

Convert between metric and US/imperial units including decimal and fractional units yards,feet & inches. The additions have been added as new tabs. Based on feedback we have changed to a more classic button with data Entry directly on the buttons - not at the top of screen as in the older tabs. Depending on feedback we will move to change the existing tabs (Spreadsheet cell format) in a future release. Because of the limitation to 5 visible tab button the remaining tabs are accessible from the 'More' tab. The tabs can be reorganised by going to the 'More' tab and pressing 'Edit'. Swipe the preferred Tabs to the tab bar at the bottom and 'Done'. The app requires IOS 11 and is optimised for iPads & iPhones - Including iPhone X. Requires Full Screen at the moment on the iPad.
