Contact Feet and Inches Calculator Support

This app is so incredibly useful. Unfortunately, it’s 100% useless unless you’re connected to the Internet. Why the hell is an Internet connection required for a calculator? I can understand that you need ads for revenue but completely crippling the program unless it’s connected to the Internet it’s a bit ridiculous. While the design of the app is second to none [at least compared to the dozen or so apps that I have tried], The Internet connection requirement is absolutely the biggest possible dealbreaker. What a shame

I’m in no way in the construction industry, but I am building a new house. Having just received the survey, I wanted to do some calculations on my current square footage, the overall length and width of my existing home etc... nothing major, purely low volume stuff.

The app worked perfectly, doing everything I asked of it and allowing me to do more (the triangle calculator was handy for getting an idea of the size of my new homes roof)... tho (and maybe I missed it), I would have liked to be able to get a slope/pitch ratio from my input of the angle (I actually couldn’t get any of the pitch x/y buttons to work), minor detail as I’m setting my roof by the angle of my latitude for a solar PV array.

One star is lost because I *wanted* to toss the few dollars your way for making just the right app available for me at just the right time. Problem is, every time I click on the “Remove ads” button the app crashes... this is a 6th gen iPad with the latest iOS installed so... no cookies for you. If there’s another way (a pay for, ad-free version on the AppStore say) do let me know as I really appreciate the effort that went into this !!

While we’re at it, it’d be nice if we could change the font color as well as the bg color... I do love a black bg with green text for that old terminal feeling !!

I really like this app. My go to calculator.

At first I thought I would have to learn to live with the wood looking theme, but it’s changeable to 8 or so other colors

I really like how you can limit the fractions to something on your ruler. You can have it get very precise or say have it round to the nearest 1/32nd or 1/16th. At the same time it shows you the decimal equivalent and you can cycle the result to centimeters, millimeters and more, then back, or not go to metric at all.

The data entry is different than all the others I’ve tried. You enter the feet in the top section, inches in the section below that, and select the fraction from a scrolling menu.

The scrolling fraction menu is configurable and limits fractions to those found on a ruler.

You can change the imperial entries to metric and have imperial results and metric at the same time, or just one or the other.

It has proven very handy for me working with it in split view on my iPad along side a set of plans.

Very nice app, A+
