Construction Master 5 Calc Reviews

I was in need of a construction calculator at the house and I left mine at the shop. I thought I would try ConstructionMaster5Calc version. When I open the add I was prompted to subscribe to be able to use the calculator. Are you kidding me? I could understand free with ads or a one time fee to remove ads. I am borderline furious. Who would have thought a calculator of all things would go the way of the subscription model. This is unacceptable.

Apple will go over your head directly to your credit card company to get payment on an auto renewal without your approval.

I had zero interest in resubscribing for ConstructionMaster5Calc after finding it useless for my particular job. No fault to ConstructionMaster5Calc . My card had expired and I was glad to leave it that way.

However, rather than communicate with me, Apple was somehow able to get my credit card company to provide the updated card info without contacting me. This is fraud and I’m sick of it!!!! Dumping Apple and my credit card company after this theft. What a joke! If you want me to renew, ask!

I actually have one of the hand-held calculators however it’s always in my work vehicle so I thought wow this would be great to have at home. I downloaded ConstructionMaster5Calc because it said it was free. The moment I did that it then said this was a seven day trial and your Apple account would be charged at the end of the seven days. Big problem though, it doesn’t tell you how much it’s going to be. this should have been up front on the details page and it’s not that I could see. If it was it wasn’t obvious. Can you spell SCAM!

My old phone got wet screen went all black so had to get a new phone and now app says it doesn’t recognize purchase or whatever and now wants me to repurchase but now with a subscription what is that about why would you guys have a subscription for this calculator that would make this calculator super expensive I have a handheld one that I bought before i purchased ConstructionMaster5Calc few years ago but that is just a another thing I would have to carry around I’m a welder and having it on the phone was perfect but this subscription is just crazy it’s just a calculator why would would you guys think this is ok to do

I purchased this years ago and have loved it. Just opened it today and now it is saying that I have to signup for a subscription? I already paid for it. When I hit the “Restore Purchases” button, it gives me an error telling me that I’m not connected to the internet. I am connected so I’m not sure what that’s about. This wasn’t cheep to purchase and I am not a fan of having to pay again for something that I already paid for.

Seems like a great app, I get that there’s maintenance on the apps but why not just make it a one time payment? If this was a $40 one time payment I would get it in a heartbeat. A little frustrating that everything needs to be a monthly payment now. I get it but man why can’t it just be a 1 time thing stop with the bright colors and exclamation points on trials to get you to disregard the automatic renewal. Shame.

Why would I pay $36 per year when I can buy the actual calculator for fifty dollars and the last one I bought lasted me over ten years as a matter of fact it was working the last time I saw it, it was stolen from my toolbox during a job I was working on point being is you could make the price ten dollars and I’m certain you would make plenty of money from your sales don’t be greedy it’s a great calculator lower the price for the lower class working man and you would most likely prosper in more ways than you can imagine. Thanks

I've used physical version of this calculator and now the digital version for years. I purchased ConstructionMaster5Calc many years ago for a very reasonable price, but now see they want $35 a year to use it? You can litterally buy the physical version of this calcualtore for $40. ConstructionMaster5Calc price shoudl match the actaul cost of the calculator.

This calculator is fantastic and is indispensable if you are a carpenter, but $35 a year. for a $40 calculator is a mis-match.

I have given a 4 star rating simply based on the amount of time and calculations used. ConstructionMaster5Calc itself is very simple to use. I also appreciate the help section. Not only is it informative, but also easy to understand.

This will be a 5 star purchase for anyone in the carpentry trade.

I’ve had two of these ever since they came out with the handheld, anyway once I seen you could download it to your cell phone it was the greatest thing for a contractor app wise that I’ve seen in a long time. Highly recommend it. I will give it a 10 out of 10 the handhelds have never failed me and so far neither has the digital app.

Very convenient for job site use without carrying a physical calculator. Only thing that would make ConstructionMaster5Calc better would be an option for use with an Apple Watch.

I have carried a CM5 around in my tool bags for years (decade or 2) Having it on my phone means no more trips to the job site to grab my Calc to to bids at the office. Time saver for sure and worth every penny!!

The guys on my job site use ConstructionMaster5Calc all the time from my phone. They evenpendajo when they’re done which I believe is Spanish for thank you. I love using that have to it works great for m.

Five stars. ConstructionMaster5Calc is truly top-tier work, and is amazing - despite this, I am leaving it for a lesser-quality product that I will pay for one time and use just like I would pay once for an actual hardware calculator at a store.

I’ve used the construction calculator 5 for over 30 years it’s super convenient having it on my phone and in a lot of ways better got 1 the screen doesn’t get all jacked up. And at $34 dollars a year ya really can’t beat it

This is by far the best calculator I could get for the money I mean think about it every time my phone breaks. I already bought ConstructionMaster5Calc so I have it all the other calculators that you buy at the store you have to pay every time it breaks. I am the inventor of the v-line clamp and I recommend it for all Framer’s framers

A very good calculator that converts SAE to Metric numbers in my workshop. It allows me to calculate financial information up to and including numbers in the Zillions. It is a great tool when working with interest rates whether they apply to Real Estate, Banking, Retirement and the overall economy. I chose this calculator while surfing the web and downloaded it on the Apple App Store to my iPhone.

Talk about the most bang for your buck. I have been using since came on market . Don’t even remember when that was many years ago. I have tried other construction calculators for my crews and nothing works like this one. Now with the phone app I don’t need to have a hand held in every truck. By far the best construction calculator on the market.

I owned three of the handheld calculators, one for office, one for truck and one for lunchbox now that I have this calculator on my phone in the easy use of all the features is amazing and I have now given away my other three calculators to my Formen in the field. ConstructionMaster5Calc is well worth the money and it’s probably one of the best if not the best app on my phone.

I was charged $66 instead of the $4 monthly. There goes the food for my family. No way of getting a refund unfortunately
