### 3/5 — Please Help

*2023-11-06*

Love the app but once I select a steel member I’m stuck on that one type. I try to go back and select a new member such as angle but the app keeps going back to previous member. Seems like a bug forcing me to restart app per member type. iPhone 12 Pro. IOS 17.0.3. Thank you!!!

**Developer response:** Hello, I just became aware of this issue under iOS17. Will work and release fix asap! Thanks for reporting it!
