So handy and highly recommended. Would like to see a decking calculator added. Thanks. ### 5/5 — A must *2015-12-09, version 3.0* Great for every thing I do from labor to costs and time. ### 5/5 — So many useful tools *2015-11-21, version 3.0* Must have app if you own a home (or are a contractor). If you do your own projects or want to estimate before you hire a contractor. I love the graphics that help you see what to measure. Best measurement/project calculator in my opinion... especially for the price! The 3 add-ons are only .99 each and almost double the amount of tools. Best $5 total I've spent in the App Store. ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-09-10, version 3.0* Very useful app for everyday use as a contractor. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-06-29, version 3.0* This is a fantastic app! Thanks😀 ### 5/5 — Great ap!! *2015-06-18, version 3.0* This is a great ap. I'm a contractor and I use it almost every day. Just love it!! ### 5/5 — Great reference tool for the diy'er *2015-05-01, version 3.0* Mistakes are costly. They take up time and money. Whether you want to learn something new or confirm what you think you thought you kinda remembered. This One will pay for itself. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2014-09-03, version 2.61* If you are a D-I-Yer, a project manager, an estimator or a general contractor this app is for you. I can do it all, if I had to. I can do landscaping, roofing, construction, flooring and painting/wallpapering. I can do all sorts of tough angular stuff,\ and project management calculations. If there is anything I missed, let me know, because I probably forgot to list it - it's in there! ### 4/5 — Extensive number of calculators *2014-01-29, version 2.61* I'm really surprised at the number of calculators on this application. From building to landscaping and gardening. I added the project calculator and cost calculator and at first glance they aren't as intuitive as the other features but to be fair I haven't given them too much of a look yet. I would recommend this for a Do it yourselfer such as myself. ### 4/5 — 4+ *2013-12-30, version 2.61* Super handy little app for DIY or contractor, been having difficulty adding "add ons" though ### 5/5 — Handy app *2013-10-04, version 2.50* This app is a very useful tool on the job site. ### 5/5 — Home Improvement Calcs *2013-09-13, version 2.50* Great app. I use it all the time. ### 4/5 — Thanks *2013-08-19, version 2.50* Helpful ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2013-07-13, version 2.50* Fantastic tool for both the iPhone or iPad. A must for the DYI person! I've used this app for over a year now, as a home DYI guy who likes to do it all, this is my only "Go To App" for all the household jobs as well as the woodworking shop. AWESOME is the best word to describe it! No go buy it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Joke! *2025-03-24, version 3.1.6* This is nothing but a list of recommendations! Doesn’t calculate anything that anyone who SHOULD be working on can’t quickly solve on their own! Don’t waste $5 unless you are too lazy to use an internet search! ### 1/5 — Material estimator *2019-07-26, version 3.1.0* Unless I can’t figure out this app since the update it has no place to estimate how many tile needed for a job ### 1/5 — Not what I was looking for! *2015-04-24, version 3.0* How do I get refund? This APP does a lot of cool things. But the APP did not do what I wanted. ### 1/5 — Complicated and worthless *2012-09-21, version 2.2* Unless you are Einstein, you will never figure out how to operate this app. Confusing, complicated, and very disappointing ### 1/5 — Don't waste your $$$$$ *2011-10-27, version 1.2* Not good . ### 1/5 — Terrible *2011-10-09, version 1.2* Save your $$$$. I bought this for some help on windows and doors. They have info on installing wallpaper, but nothing on windows and doors. Who uses wallpaper these days.....not many!! This app needs a lot of upgrades before they charge $2.99. Give me a break!!! ### 3/5 — Good but go for the Home Builder Pro Version *2012-02-06, version 2.0* Good but go for the Home Builder Pro Version by the same company, it has the same information but twice as much; don't make the mistake that I made and buy both. It's a great app with lots of useful information. ### 3/5 — Need basic fractional calc *2011-12-05, version 2.0* Lots of useful info but really needs a fractional calculator so you can add 1/16, 32nds etc. Also a table comparing nail sizes would be helpful......4 penny, 6 penny etc. ### 4/5 — Helpful app but missing a key function? *2021-01-17, version 3.1.3* Unless I just can’t locate it within the app, you may want to consider adding a sensor function for measuring lengths. Granted, iPhones have this capability built-in (not sure about android devices), but that requires switching back and forth between your app and the iPhone measurement function, which is a nuisance considering that this: A) is a “paid app,” and B) is a *basic function* that one would expect to see in an app of this type. ### 4/5 — The more I use it... the better I like it! *2020-07-24, version 3.1.3* I really like this app. The only reason I awarded 4 stars was because, and this may be due to my ignorance, I would like to be able to save frequently used calculations / conversions to a "short list" rather than having to use the menu. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Time saver ! *2021-11-15, version 3.1.5* Wow ! All informations I need in one app ! I feel like I can build anything! 💪🏻 ### 5/5 — Wow! *2020-06-09, version 3.1.0* This tool is amazing. Has definitely saved me time and errors! Definitely a great addition! ### 5/5 — Love this app. *2019-03-24, version 3.1.0* This thing is great. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-03-09, version 3.1.0* Great app for the home owner or DIY ### 5/5 — Best app for estimating cost *2019-02-26, version 3.1.0* This is the best app I have found for do it yourself projects it helps you calculate the materials you’ll need and even some cost it helps you figure out sizes and materials needed for the projects it comes in handy especially when you’re at the hardware store looking for the materials you need to tell you how much you’ll need of that material and how much material you might be needing ### 5/5 — Very nice *2018-11-04, version 3.1.0* Great app for newbie contractors or ones who’ve been out of it for a while. In estimating installing flooring could you include installing floating laminate floors including using water-proofing with adhesive sealing in addition to under lament types. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great! *2018-07-04, version 3.1.0* Very easy and flexible! ### 5/5 — Incredibly useful *2016-06-22, version 3.0* This is a must have for any estimator, handiperson or trades person. Nothing but good things to say. ### 5/5 — Can't do without it ! *2016-06-12, version 3.0* A must have for diy'r or tradesman. It definitely top tier and far exceeds my expectations. Platinum! ### 5/5 — Hab *2016-03-14, version 3.0* This app. Has saved me a lot of time and eliminated many errors I seem prone to make. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
