Useless

Needs updating!!! White text on white background. Impossible to use!

A great(!) alternative to that other woodworking calculator

This has the essential functionality that I need to streamline basic fraction math. It also has a handy angle calculator. And, it is NOT a subscription app!!

Glitch

Never a problem until now. I used to see the numerals displayed just above the keyboard and now I don’t see anything until I press the equal key. I then get the sequence of numbers at the top of the screen. Recently updated my iPhone 13 to 18.3.1

Not just fractions … WOODWORKING fractions! And more!

I love this app. Took me a minute to figure out some of the features, like the button to convert decimals to fractions and visa versa. But once I understood that, this became my every day app for the shop.

I use it at the hardwood seller to calculate board feet too.

The only function I never use is the Tape function, still haven’t figured that out even after reading the help. Would love to see a golden ratio calculator and/or a very simple notebook in its place.

But even without the tape feature, I’ll give it 5 stars.
