Please fix this ### 2/5 — Lock *2022-05-25, version 1.3.2* Works ok but will lockup phone and can’t turn off ### 2/5 — Dangerous *2021-09-02, version 1.3.2* Dangerous app, does not allow you to close the app to access your phone. When on a roof it is just one more thing to be frustrated and messing with. Would not recommend ### 2/5 — Pitch not accurate *2021-08-08, version 1.3.2* The app is ok to give you general idea but it can be about 8-10 degrees of which makes a big difference. ### 5/5 — Useful *2021-07-28, version 1.3.2* I use it every day for my roofing needs so awesome it’s one of my most important tools. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2021-06-13, version 1.3.2* I’m new to roofing and needed something very simple to determine the slope. This app makes your smart phone into a simple slope indicator and works amazing! I tried several apps, but none worked like this one! I recommend it highly. Oh …. Showed it to the men who have done roofing for years and even they were amazed about its accuracy and ease of use. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Immediately crashes *2025-12-09, version 1.3.2* It worked until I updated IOS now it open and immediately closes.

Just as it didn’t work on my iPhone 13 Pro Max on iOS 16.5.1 w latest update from apps’ developer…tap to open app, but it crashes every time. It’s now essentially useless & taking up space. If developers want to chime in w a response & help, great! Until then, I can’t give any stars. Sorry. ### 1/5 — It’s not even loading and no way to report the issue *2024-09-21, version 1.3.2* The app is not even loading . It crashes each time I load it. ### 1/5 — App wont work *2024-08-20, version 1.3.2* This use to be the greatest app for roof slope documentation until it stopped working on my iphone 13 pro.

It shows the picture of the roof along with details of the roof in the background. This way people know that the pictures are tied into a specific roof or property. I am very happy that I found this app to use for work. ### 5/5 — Accuracy *2021-12-17, version 1.3.2* This app serves its purpose. Measure the pitch for you. You can take a picture to prove to customer. Thanks developer. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
