I love

1000 de 1000

Good, but…

I appreciate this app, the only glaring error is that it stops at 1/16 inch increments. On a long run the final space can be out by 3/4”. That’s a lot. I’ve been forced to redo the math manually each time to determine whether the actual spacing is bang on, or a 1/32 over or under the stated measurement. Still saves a little time… just not nearly as much. If this is fixed I will amend my review.

Love it

I don’t use it often, but when I do, it’s clutch.

Accurate

The app figures out centres. For faster work I would like to see the app find the end piece length without having to deduct half a picket. Picky but I did give 5 stars.

Brilliant!

Can’t do stairs without this right every time app!
