However, I have zero use for, or interest in, any imperial measurements whatsoever. This appears here and there seemingly at random and these numbers mean absolutely nothing to me. They may as well be hieroglyphs. Can you please turn on a setting for us non US users, with consistent metrics only ? ### 4/5 — Tape no longer works *2023-08-18, version 4.1.10* Calculator tape no longer works ### 2/5 — Not fully metric *2022-06-29, version 4.1.10* Joist spacings given in feet not metric, despite overall setting set to metric. Careful, you may waste your money on this as other apps are fully metric ### 5/5 — Best friend on job! *2021-01-07, version 4.1.6* Very useful to prepare a job!! ### 5/5 — Handyman 2.0 LLC *2020-12-13, version 4.1.6* Perfection ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2020-04-12, version 4.1.2* Seems to perform most functions well, would like to see a deck calculator included. ### 4/5 — It’s decent. But... *2020-01-28, version 4.1.2* I got charged $7.48 for it ### 5/5 — Everything a contractor needs to save time and money *2019-09-17, version 4.1.2* Great app for on the run qouts and layouts when time is not what you have!!!!! ### 5/5 — Useful tool *2019-07-15, version 4.1.2* Very helpful app for most basic calculations for construction ### 5/5 — Best Carpenters Resource! *2019-05-07, version 4.1.2* There is a lot of excellent information in this app. Probably the best developed app I have used to building and estimates! ### 5/5 — App is good helpful *2019-02-10, version 4.1.2* Not bad. Helpful ### 4/5 — Very versatile app *2018-08-02, version 4.1.2* So many fantastic calculators- very helpful!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wrong purchase *2025-03-14, version 4.1.10* May be a good calculator for estimating but not for on job use layouts. ### 1/5 — Calculator error *2023-12-27, version 4.1.10* Wall calculation. I am calculating a 16x8 foot wall framing 2x4 and 16 inch center and it says I need 150 studs. That result can’t be right. ### 1/5 — Lame *2021-09-08, version 4.1.7* No calculator for wooden fences? Thanks for nothing ### 1/5 — Can’t calculate square footage *2021-08-14, version 4.1.7* Why on earth the calculator won’t allow you to multiply feet with feet or inches with inches is beyond me? ### 1/5 — Wrong rafter calculations. *2020-11-23, version 4.1.5* Roof calculations for hip rafters are wrong. No section for changing hip rafter size. ### 1/5 — I want my money back please *2020-10-15, version 4.1.5* Please ### 1/5 — Bs *2019-11-20, version 4.1.2* No irregular pitch in the hip roof section, they assume that both pitches are the same?!? Pitch quick conversion chart only goes up to 12/12. Hip angels are give in x/17 values. Lots of good features but the ones I need are not there ### 1/5 — 2nd the flaw review *2019-03-06, version 4.1.2* You’ve got to be kidding. A building calculator that won’t multiply feet and inches by feet and inches? This piece of crap is useless and if I could get my money back I would. Seriously, buy something else. ### 1/5 — Crap *2018-06-12, version 4.1.2* Bought this app to estimate decking jobs with ease but it is the one thing it doesn’t calculate. I repeat. It does NOT have a calc for estimating decking boards, how many posts and pickets you need. Anything related to deck building is left out. This is a common type of work. Figured it would be on here but instead I get a electric wire calculator that isn’t worth two cents. ### 1/5 — useless! *2016-09-29, version 4.0* I was very excited by reading the reviews, I thought this was gonna be great. Boy was I wrong! It has lots of things and almost all of them are useless. I am a general contractor and every time I tried to use the app I waisted so much time and ended up tossing the phone in the truck and doing it the easy way, the normal way. Gosh I wish someone would come up with a great product for this line of work. One that actually works. I wouldn't mind paying 50 bucks for it, if it actually works. It may work for you, but for me... nuh! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelent *2025-11-26, version 4.1.10* Easy with amazing features ### 5/5 — Best app *2025-04-03, version 4.1.10* This construction app is user-friendly and makes my job much easier. ### 5/5 — Amazing Pocket Reference for Training *2025-02-17, version 4.1.10* Had the app for a very long time.
