Response from developer

Sorry about that, and thank you for reporting it. Both apps have been rebuilt since then: Steel Profiles 6.0 and Steel Profiles Pro run on current iPhones and iPads and add design checks, bolt and material tables and iCloud sync. If anything still fails on your device, please write to support@theolternative.com and we will fix it.

Was a IW for 30 years mostly on a RAISING GANG”.
BUT spent several years in the shop as A LAYOUT FITTER and wish I had this app.
Now I have my own MOBILE WELDING RIG and I just love it. Saves time & materials when detailing my own jobs.

IOS 14 - not working
