### 5/5 — Great app for DIY homestead projects

*2023-07-24, version 1.0.1*

Easy to use. Fraction to decimal conversion feature is awesome.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2023-07-22*

Even if you just adding fractions this calculator works! You need to understand that the top part of fractions is for the top fraction numbers and the denominator is the bottom part of the fractions. But after i got that i could figure out any number! I sew, and i do projects that skyways include weird fractions. This will be very valuable!

### 5/5 — Makes precision easy

*2023-07-21, version 1.0*

So much simpler than trying to do fraction calculations on paper or a standard calculator, and easy to use!

### 5/5 — Great app for quick measurements

*2023-07-21, version 1.0*

I have really enjoyed using this app so far. I just do woodworking as a hobby but this has made figuring out measurements quick and easy. I’ve never been a math person, especially with fraction so this has been a very useful. Great job creating this!

### 5/5 — Game changer!

*2023-07-21, version 1.0*

No more fraction-decimal charts, googling conversions, or having to bust out the TI-89! If you do anything in the maker realm or maker adjacent, this is the calculator you need. Love the layout and simplicity. Great for CNC, woodworking, 3D printing, and metal work.

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2023-07-21, version 1.0*

This makes my life so much easier. Easy to use and saves me a lot of time.

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2023-07-20, version 1.0*

Loved using this instead of my stupid calculator that has to use decimals. Anything to simplify my life.

### 5/5 — Solid. Easy to us.

*2023-07-20, version 1.0*

A great app I use multiple times per day!

### 5/5 — Jesus himself couldn’t make a better app

*2023-07-20, version 1.0*

The amount of scratch paper I have wasted dividing things like 45 5/8 by 3 is disgusting. This app is essential if you find yourself
Using a tape measure.

### 5/5 — The app I have been looking for!

*2023-07-20, version 1.0*

Makes maker math so simple! I love this app. Glad someone figured it out and made it simple! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Super simple to use…no extra fluff!

*2023-07-20, version 1.0*

This is awesome. It took me a few times using it to get the hang of it but now it’s always open on my phone when I’m measuring/cutting!

### 5/5 — Easy Calculations!

*2023-07-20, version 1.0*

I’m nothing special when it comes to woodworking. But doing projects around the house and using the iPhone calculator then going to Google to convert the decimal back to a fraction is now done. One stop shop for the ultimate working calculator! Fully recommend!

### 5/5 — Functional, effective and efficient

*2023-07-19, version 1.0*

There are few apps that are truly worth using over and over again, this is one of them. It’s for the seasons carpenters and wood workers as much as it is for a DIY’er like myself. Measurements always make my brain hurt trying to figure out exactly where to make a cut. But this app takes the hard calculations and makes it easy to visualize so I don’t have to worry I am doing the math wrong. Worth it in every way.

### 5/5 — Great app for woodworkers

*2023-07-19, version 1.0*

I love this app! I’m a hobbiest woodworker but I use this app almost everyday. Been looking for a calculator that uses fractions and this works like a dream. Perfect for anyone who uses a measuring tape regularly.

### 5/5 — I May Have Built this App…

*2023-07-18, version 1.0*

But if I didn’t think it was five stars, then what’s even the point?

Truly, I’ve searched high and low for a measurement calculator that meets my woodworking needs. I haven’t found it. Which is why I decided to build my own. If you’re reading this, thank you for the time and consideration to check out the app, it really means a lot. Give it a try and let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Subscribe to your calculator

*2023-07-25, version 1.0.1*

I use the other fraction calculator on the App Store frequently that has a similar input style but I liked the automatic conversions and rounding features here so I thought I’d check this out. But paying a subscription for a calculator? Give me a break. Is my ruler going to start charging by the inch next?

### 3/5 — Request

*2023-08-15, version 1.0.2*

There’s needs to be a way to try the app without answering those questions that you can’t get past.

### 5/5 — Best in class

*2025-10-23, version 2.0.1*

If loving a calculator app is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. I use this app constantly in my home wood shop, it has every single feature I want in a “fractional calculator”, if that’s what we’re calling it. The little Live Conversion window is brilliant for the times I need to work in metric. Great app from a swell developer!

### 5/5 — Very happy early adopter

*2025-07-31, version 2.0.1*

I love this app. I downloaded it days after it was released, and bought the premium edition almost immediately. I use this daily for woodworking, CAD design & 3d printing. And when customers attempt to convert metric Festool measurements when they come in to the Woodcraft store where I work a couple of days a week, I just pull up the app, and, easy peasy, give them the Imperial equivalent!

### 5/5 — Use it every day

*2025-07-30, version 2.0.1*

I’m a woodworker and who’s made my share of fraction-related mistakes. More than I’d care to admit. And yes, I could switch to metric like some of my other woodworking friends, but I don’t want to. 

I use this app nearly every day. It’s well laid out, easy to see with my older eyes, and it does basic fractional math really well. I especially like the bar graph the app displays when a number is between your selected precision - you can quickly tell if, for example, the result is closer to 3/32” or 1/8”, and by how much. Really useful. 

Great, stable app.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2025-07-29, version 2.0.1*

Even if you just adding fractions this calculator works! You need to understand that the top part of fractions is for the top fraction numbers and the denominator is the bottom part of the fractions. But after i got that i could figure out any number! I sew, and i do projects that skyways include weird fractions. This will be very valuable!

### 5/5 — Great Calculator for Conversions, Measurements, and Projects

*2025-07-29, version 2.0.1*

This app is a speedy tool for converting measurements and keeping track of your math while in a project. Increasing functionality for free users was a huge plus.

### 5/5 — Woodworking game changer

*2023-09-03*

I have now been using this app for over a month. I continue to be amazed at how many times I refer to it, and how little I refer to all the cheat cheats I have laying around my shop. This app was very well thought out both from a user interface and from a functionality standpoint. I strongly encourage any maker that needs to deal with fractions, decimals, metric, conversions, etc. To download the trial and play with it a while.

### 5/5 — My Most Used App

*2023-08-09, version 1.0.1*

This is definitely my most used app on my phone.  I install high end cabinetry down to the 32nd each day and to mess up on calculations could cost the company tons of money, this thing has saved me numerous of times!

### 5/5 — Finer granularity required - Update

*2023-08-07, version 1.0.1*

With the exception of the round up, round down feature (which is fantastic) the calculator is comparable to the free calculators already out there. If the round up, round down, granularity could be changed from 1/ 16th, to a 32nd, or better yet a 64th I would buy it in a heartbeat.

The ability to change granularity is present. I just didn’t look hard enough. The rounding feature puts this product head and shoulders above others.

### 5/5 — Solid UX

*2023-08-06, version 1.0.1*

Jake crushed it

### 5/5 — Great for Getting Started in the Game!

*2023-07-24, version 1.0.1*

I’m definitely green when it comes to woodworking and craftsmanship of any kind. That being said this app was a life saver. I recently had a baby and wanted to build a crib as I couldn’t find one that wasn’t cheaply made or outrageously expensive. Maker Calc made the math extremely simple and made it so I didn’t have to do the tape measure math that racks my brain 😅 totally recommend to any fellow craftsmen/women out there!
