### 1/5 — Crashing

*2017-01-05*

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing on startup

*2017-01-04*

Keeps crashing on startup

### 4/5 — Just one more thing...

*2012-05-07*

Excellent app for advanced DIY. Would be 5 stars if we can PLEASE have a button within each calc that shows the raw calculation. Wouldn't be a difficult thing to do and would help me with BC in proving my calcs are complete. It would also help me understand how they are calculated.

### 1/5 — Same as other 5 metric only no conversion button.

*2011-01-14*

Would be awesome if it had the conversion option

### 4/5 — Updates

*2010-10-11*

Very good app. I hope it's updated when building control's info is renewed.

### 1/5 — METRIC

*2010-07-24*

BEWARE METRIC!!!!! not listed in narrative.

### 2/5 — Metric!

*2010-07-16*

This app is awesome for everything it does, however all measurement are metric with no option to change. It's more of a hassle to convert to metric, then figure materials and then convert back then what it's worth.
