Update bug

I’m also having issues inputting the second measurement. It only lets me put one digit, and then it freezes. It used to work before the update.

Response from developer

We have fixed this in our latest release! If this solves your problem, would you consider updating your review?

Update glitch

Ever since the new update when you go to input the second measurement, it only allows a single digit under the foot so you have to convert everything to inches in order to get your square. Very annoying.

Response from developer

Hi there, could you email us a video/screenshot of this? We are unable to see this bug on our end. support@redshepard.com

Feet and inches

This app is a great idea and it calculates in feet and inches and in 16th . It’s perfect!
