Degrees round wrong way

The plum cut and seat cut angles are round the wrong way if I’m doing a 24 degree roof it’s showing the plumb cut 66 and seat 24

App review

Hey guys.
Pretty decent. Is there a section to add ridge thickness? What size are you currently assuming.

Also coukd add Perling angles ?

Thanks

Brilliant app for roof framing

Quality app never had any problems using it. I’m sure people giving negative reviews just don’t have much knowledge on roofs and are imputing wrong data. Would definitely recommend this app for roofs

Zero star, does not calculate accurate common rafter length

Ex. A 24’x40’ home entered with a 16” overhang gives you a 12’+16” line length. Therefore 13’-4” or 160” (13.3333 (1.111083 unit run) on a 6” pitch or 26.57 deg. Or (13.41 unit rise).

(1.111083*13.41) = 14.8’. Or 14’-10 13/16” the correct overall common rafter length.

The app, after carefully checking all settings spits out a 15’-3” common lengths for not apparent reason after being fed all the same dimensions as well as a 26.57 degree angle for the 6/12 roof that I calculated above.

Not bad

Seat cut and plumb cut are round the wrong way. Needs updating

Response from developer

Check out our latest update the problem you are experiencing is fully addressed in the help file because of the way the power mitre saws are marked out, when making a square cut which is 90 deg the saw will be marked 0 deg totally confusing???? resulting in some users thinking the app is at fault when it’s all down to the saw markings.

Utterly useless

Dissapointed

Got the app and none of the dimensions it figures out are correct so basically a complete waste of money and if you cut a roof off it on the ground would end up costing you a fortune as every rafter would be the wrong length and the quantities would be well more than required extremely dissapointed

Useful

I'm not a roofer but have always had an interest in how to build one. This is a great informative app laid out in simple laymans terms.

Best roof app

Without a doubt the best app for working out lengths of rafters and amounts of timber , easy to use with a basic understanding of how to set a roof out saves so much time , use this on every roof I cut now and it is always spot on ! Good work 👍

Mr west

The app is good apart form there's a mistake on it. If you put in 40 degree pitch as an example then the plumb cut should be 40 not 50 and the seat cut should be 50 not 40. I.e 35 degree will be 35 pitch 55 seat not 55 pitch and 35 seat. Apart from that it's good

Don't waste money

Seemed like it would work to find common rafter measurements but locks up when you try to click on certain buttons. Don't buy
