Great app

Wouldn’t be without this app, a must for anyone that not too great on maths. I have used it so many times with success

Used to be so good

This calculator app is buggy. Ages ago, I used to love using this app but when calculating for multiple quilts, I have to exit the app because it won’t go back so I can put in new measurements or put in measurements for a different field. It’s so frustrating.

Trouble with site

I have had a problem with this app all day and I never have before. After entering the measurements required, when I tap calculate, it says something to the effect that I need to enter a number in the width. First, I don’t know if it means width of fabric or width of quilt. There are numbers in both places. I really like this site but I’m very frustrated with this issue. I hope you can fix it.

Updates

Since the update I keep getting fabric width must contain a number or border 3 needs to have a numeric number. Ugh!!! There are numbers in the field and I don’t want 3 borders. Please fix this issue.
