Best purchase!

I’ve never left an Apple review but had to for this app. Made installing my balusters on an angled rake so easy. I’ve never done this type of work before and this made it a no brainer.

Don’t have more angles

Paid for nothing, dose not go past 40 degree angle I have a 55 degree angle on my stairs. Wasted my money for nothing

Seemed great

The fatal flaw of your app is the limit on angles. I have an older house and the stairs are 51 degrees, your app wouldn’t allow me to enter anything above 40 if I remember correctly. Loosen your tolerance!

Love it

Very useful app. Definitely due for an update. It’s very slow and kicks you out randomly.

Have been using this app since the beginning when developed. Greg even sent me an email when he developed for android phone and asked for any input. I’m a trim carpenter and have used this app on hundreds of stairs. Such a big time saver. Not only works on balusters,but beams, decorative moldings on walls and other uses. Great app and time saver. Thanks

Not compatible with metric units

It’s an okay, basic app. Works as described. It could use a few upgrades.
1 inch = 25.4mm. It only allows you to put in whole numbers for metric.
It would be nice to have a visualization tool, so you can see how the balusters would look between the post.
It would be nice to have the option to start with a center baluster and then space out evenly in each direction.

Use less

Their isn’t no way to enter the center measurement and when you tap on view tab, it kicks you right out of the app.

no way to enter on center measurement . pretty much makes it useless

awful

Years of Consistent Successful Use

Apps don’t get more useful than this one. All those calculations nobody wants to make are made for you. Not only does this app work perfectly for balusters indoors and out, it gives you the layout for any project with spaced components. Then it reads you the numbers so you can mark with both hands.

Excellent App!

I just started using this app but so far I think it's terrific. It pretty much matches up with my own recipe to calculate baluster spacing but saves me all those math steps.

Time saver for years

I’m a contractor and I’ve used this app for several years now. Yes it’s not fancy and it has its quirks however..the time it takes to learn to navigate it are well worth it. It’s very accurate and no frills. It just works and saves me and my crews a pile of time.
If you want something that has bling look elsewhere. However if you use it as a tool it is exactly what you need.

Simply lovely

I wasn’t sure how good this would be but seriously if your doing stairs get it! Saved me so much time not having to calculate it all with maths. Can’t rate it enough!

Works like it should

Once I figured out where to press it works great. Wish stair angle could be set to greater then 40 degrees. Would rate higher if it did.
*update*
Thank you for the response. It’s works great and was very helpful in my last stair railing install!

Extremely useful

I,v had this app for a couple of years now, was a bit sceptical at first but after using it on several jobs it is a godsend.
I used to work out spindle spacings mathematically which was a pain,but now it’s so easy and accurate.
Highly recommend.

Not bad

Not a bad app only issue is the maximum pitch you can calculate is 40* this is an issue for me in domestic property's!

Worth every penny!

I'm a residential carpenter and I love this app! It has saved me some much time and money while at the same time making for a much nicer final product. I not only use the app to lay-out balusters but also to lay-out wainscoting, coffered ceilings, shelving and even fencing.

Terrible

Looks like it was written for iOS 2 and it's tricky to navigate as the navigation buttons are in weird spots and blend in with other buttons.

Poor design

Nice!

This is a fantastic tool. As a finish carpenter I use it almost daily for a variety of layout tasks not just baluster spacing. An invaluable app I think is a must have for any carpenter. Also new voice feature is pretty cool.

Very nice!!! Muito bom!!! Mucho bueno

You can use to do cabinets, wainscoting, coffer ceiling etc...
Muito bom app, pode ser usado em varias coisas que leva layout

Stair reno

What an awesome find. Took all the guess work and calculations out of my project. Entered in a few basic numbers and then make the marks at the designated points. Could not be any simpler!!
It took me less than 5 minutes to calculate 2 runs and a slope. THANK YOU!
