Perfect Stairs!!

I bought this app several years ago and had perfect results the first time I used it (1st time ever building stairs!) Super easy to use and I had no issues at all.

Now we’re 2024 and I just opened the app to build stairs on my new deck and had the stringer plans done effectively in just a few minutes. I marked the stringers and had them cut out moments later.

I love this app and some of the best few dollars I ever spent. 👏👏👏👏👍👍

12 foot limit for the total rise

I purchased it and can not complete my project since it limits your rise at 12 feet. Total waste of money.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on our Delux Stairs. We genuinely appreciate your input and understand your concern regarding the limitation on the total rise of stairs that can be calculated. We would like to explain that this limitation is not arbitrary but is based on the International Building Code (IBC), which sets the maximum rise of a single stair flight at 12 feet. Our aim is to ensure that the designs produced by our application comply with these widely accepted safety standards. We understand how this limitation might be frustrating for projects requiring a rise greater than 12 feet and are continuously looking for ways to improve our application to meet the diverse needs of our users. Your feedback is invaluable in this process, and we will consider how we might accommodate more varied project requirements in future updates.

Don’t waste your money!!!

They should let you test it first.
I want my money back!

Straight stairs only!

I bought the app because I was mislead by the screenshots and believed I would be able to calculate for winder stairs... not the case! The app seems very user friendly, but I could figure out basic rise and run with the calculator on my phone. I am very disappointed
