Ich liebe es. Habe auch einen Ikosaeder hergestellt.

Unbelievable- the only app of its kind

I have had many angle finding apps, they were all cumbersome and difficult to use (with too many setting and options). This app is simple and extremely easy to use. I use it almost daily in the shop. Really thank you guys for creating such a wonderful app. 5$ is such a bargain for a tool like this.

Best compound angle calculator EVER...

I make precision polyhedron shapes from wood and steel profiles and have spent countless hours trying to calculate compound angles to cut with sliding table saws and chop saws. Online calculators have too many fields to enter angles and too many other confusing factors. Even if I CAD modeled the shape and knew the angles I was hard pressed to translate that into the settings on the saw. This app simplifies this process in a big way. I use this app quite often now..
