Simple and effective

I’m not sure what others expect of this app? But it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s so easy to enter the scale you are working in, enter a real world measurement and it gives you the scale equivalent. That’s all it claims to do, and it does it very well. I love it! And use it often when modeling my railroad. Saves me a ton of math!

Not dollhouse scale friendly

While all the model railway, cars and war games scales seem to be listed if you want to convert for dollhouse scales you have to enter them as a custom scale. Surely it wouldn’t have been difficult to add 1:6, 1:12, 1:144 and maybe 1:16. There was no indication in the description before I downloaded it that it would be tedious to swap back and forth between the various dollhouse scales I work in.

Can’t change scales

Every time I try to change to any scale other than the default, it crashese

Works

It does exactly what it says should do, calculate in hobbie scale and it’s free with a nice interface.

it have popular preset scales ready plus it lets you enter your own custom scale if needed.

Great Idea

I was really looking forward to using this App. However, I could not change the scale, it defaulted to G scale and no other scale could be selected.

Great Tool for Serious Miniaturists

I make scale dollhouse miniatures in 3 different scales and being a bit “mathematically challenged”, sometimes got confused when trying to calculate the dimensions an object had to be to be exactly ‘in scale’. The smaller the item, the harder this became. Your app has been a lifesaver for me ever since my first forays into 144th scale (aka micro-mini, 1:144, 1”=12’). The best part is that one can customize the fields to convert between metric and imperial measurements, use custom scales as well as standardized hobby scales and even determine the scale of something with a few basic measurements using a reverse engineering approach. It could do with a bit of work on the visual aspects of the page, ;-) but the main thing is that IT WORKS!! and ITS FREE!!.

Take it a bit farther

Be nice if it allowed you to plug in an advertised scale distance and generated an actual real-world size.

Newbie

Can’t get it to work for custom scales eg 1:35

Mr

I preferred the previous layout. The new one seem really clutter and it is a bit slow to be honest.

Very useful App!

Just calculates between real and scale sizes in a wide variety of different types of measurement.
Hardly a complicated app but extremely useful to any modeller and none of the usual in your face ads!
