What's New in Board Feet Easy Calculator

3.0

August 26, 2026

This is a ground-up rewrite of the app with a modern interface. The calculator works exactly the same way it always has. One addition, based on user feedback, is that projects can now have project notes - for anything you want to jot down about a project. All your existing projects and materials (boards) carry over automatically when you update - nothing to set up. This update is built with the latest iOS tools, so it's fully compatible with the newest iPhones, iPads, and the current version of iOS - while still working on older devices. This new tooling will allow more frequent feature updates and quicker fixes in the future.

Divided by 4?

Why is the amount off by a factor of 4?

Unfortunately its not very good

Not user friendly and zero information on how to use or enter the info. Such as “thickness” no one uses this as a term in measuring. they should have diameter, radius and circumference on here for calculations for board feet. Such as and 8’ log that is 20” in diameter/62.8” circumference.

Great layout, but could be improved

After I updated phones, I lost my favorite board feet calculator which included a material cost list you could edit all the choices of lumber with price per board foot and when selecting your species it would pull in the cost and calculate. I had a large list in mine from my supplier and I could pick individual species from the list before calculating the board footage for different components and it would use the price in the material list. It was so handy to have a lumber cost sheet built into my calculator that would work together as long as I kept my prices up to date. Please add this idea to an update!

Not sure it works

I enter 12”x12”x1/2” and the price of $6.99 to get a board foot price. I hit calculate and it gives me 2.39. What the heck does that tell me?
