Baluster Calculator Elite Reviews

If I could change the baluster measurements from center to befor or after BalusterCalculatorElite would be way better. I have to place a block every time I want to use BalusterCalculatorElite or everything takes twice as long to do. If BalusterCalculatorElite dosent improve I won’t use it anymore.

Since all of the 5 star reviews for BalusterCalculatorElite are obviously fake, I thought I would be the first to give a “real” review. The good... The visual representation of the handrail is nice as it lets you see exactly what you are entering, but personally I don’t like the number input method. It is intuitive, well laid out and easy to use. The not so good...Only gives you the centers of the balusters...only gives you two types of handrail options... maximum spacing is limited to 12”....200” is the maximum run which is somewhat limiting........1/16” is the smallest increment you can use which is useless if you want to cut a pile of fillets.... $7.99? Seriously? There are much better baluster apps out there at a fraction of the cost. On its own I would give BalusterCalculatorElite 2 or 3 stars because it is a bit limited but since the developer posted a bunch of bogus reviews to make it look better than it really is, I figured I would give it one star.

The icon is misleading. It does not give measurements for tread surface mount as the icon depicts. Cannot input horizontal rake inputs to spit out where on tread to mark centerline for baluster.

It only works with balusters less than 1 inch width

I need the place where the sides of the spindle drop, not its center. Makes it much harder to put down.

Put in exact measurements and used there centers,they started getting further off and last picket was off

Worth the 9 bucks

Perfect for what I do. I am in the steel fabrication industry and for my railing pickets this is perfect. You might have to fudge the last picket a tiny bit sometimes but for what I need it is quick and easy.

Perfect for my every day use. Calculations give me everything I need in one easy to use app. Accurate results and saves me from jotting things down on paper.

BalusterCalculatorElite has been very helpful in quickly figuring out my stair balusters. Very accurate...highly recommended

Best app available for calculating baluster spacing. Works great, love the easy-to-follow diagrams for inputing values.

best baluster calc on the market...exactly what I needed

Great app!
