Kudos to Updates!. More app developers should be as conscientious as this one. It is good to see a developer working so hard at updating the app they have designed. This program becomes more and more useful longer do you have it. I have owned it for two years. In my opinion, and app is like an investment. Not only do you want something that works for you. You also want something that adds more value over time. Double dog studios has caught on to this. It will make me a more loyal customer and also persuade me to seriously contemplate any other apps they might release. Keep it up Double Dog!!

Calculator error. Wall calculation. I am calculating a 16x8 foot wall framing 2x4 and 16 inch center and it says I need 150 studs. That result can’t be right.

Pretty good. Seems to perform most functions well, would like to see a deck calculator included.

Excellent Product. Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is well I still can't figure that one out... The interface is very intuitive and the knowledge that has gone into this is impressive but there is something there that I don't like. Can't put my finger on it but... I am a professional contractor and I use this almost daily.

The boss. I've tried several different apps associated with construction, all of them claiming to be the best and most informative in the construction industry. Well they lie, this is the app, this is the Mac daddy of construction related apps. I've been in the construction industry for 35 years and in no what the hell is going down. You can't beat this app, it covers everything, takes a couple of minutes to Figure navigation through it, but once you have learned its a breeze, it's a 6 star app. Excellent job!

Anyone in the construction trades needs this!. So worth the money, cheap even. There are at least 50 different calculators in one App. It is totally intuitive and makes all other calculators complicated by comparison . It figures all aspects, costs, amount of materials, framing and cutting. Buy this you will love it. Ps to change calculators you tap the home builders app symbol on right about an inch down

Lame. No calculator for wooden fences? Thanks for nothing

App is good helpful. Not bad. Helpful

Helpful quick guide.. What a helpful quick guide for verification of common elements of building.

A carpenter must. The calculator alone is worth the price of admission with the functionality of the construction master but with a smoother user interface for fraction input. There are also tons of great calculators for quickly figuring out all sorts of situations. The only drawback is a clumsy interface for selecting between different calculators. There are actually almost too many and you have to search for the basics. But I'm sure with a little more use and some customization it will become less awkward. Buy it.

Crap. Bought this app to estimate decking jobs with ease but it is the one thing it doesn’t calculate. I repeat. It does NOT have a calc for estimating decking boards, how many posts and pickets you need. Anything related to deck building is left out. This is a common type of work. Figured it would be on here but instead I get a electric wire calculator that isn’t worth two cents.

Can't get any better!. This app is super cool and easy to use. I'm a roofer and their wasn't anything for tile and I emailed and next update there you have it. They really know what people want and need!

Great. Best $5 I ever spent. Seems to do most everything I need. I’m a do it yourselfer and this is great. Good for a pro good for a casual builder.

Excellent. I have bought over a dozen construction estimation and calculation applications and this is so far the best one in the field. Every aspects of the software is carefully layered into sub categories and easy to navigate into project details. I would suggest adding some proposal and invoicing templates with pictures attachment capability. Thank you for this great application

Handyman 2.0 LLC. Perfection

Great calculations. This is a great overall system but is overwhelming with the breadth of info. It takes a while to search and find relevant ones to assemble into favorites. Once done it becomes a good accurate tool. Good value, would like to see a way to hide unused calcs.

Home Builders Pro Calc. Best source for referencing and checking projects for the DIY person. Will make you glad to know that you can get excellent results following the calculations and materials needed, plus allowing you to plan out future projects and knowing the cost of materials without overspending.

They best. The best

Can’t calculate square footage. Why on earth the calculator won’t allow you to multiply feet with feet or inches with inches is beyond me?

It’s decent. But.... I got charged $7.48 for it

What he said.... I purchased this app because I work in the flooring industry and I thought it would be really helpful. However, there is a huge problem with the Carpet & Linoleum calculator. You can't buy carpet and linoleum in a single square foot (unless it's carpet or vinyl tile, but then you would use the Tile calc.). Carpet and linoleum are rolled goods, they come in a fixed-width (usually 12'). Seams must be taken into account, and carpet can require extra square footage in order make sure the nap is all running the same direction. If there is a pattern (linoleum or carpet), you will need more than the exact square area to match the pattern if both of the dimensions exceed the fixed-width. So like the previous review stated, it's a good looking app and it's not bad, but it could be better.

Very versatile app. So many fantastic calculators- very helpful!!!

Good buy. This app was a good buy it gives a good rough est for jobs hourly rates and is adjustable for you or your workers skill level and equipment level. Not a must have if you have all day to figure areas prices and times. I'd your as busy as I am it's real handy.

Not quite there. Many of the calculators are limited as to what fields will accept input. Some fields you can click in but no keyboard is available for input so you have to use the calculator with their predefined way. Would like to use favorites but can't figure them out as of yet. Otherwise, has been useful and is cost effective.

Calculator needs improvements. The calculator has a flaw. It can't multiple feet and inches. So if you're trying to figure out an area of a room or space, you can't do it with the calculator in the app. This is a major flaw for a Home Builder Pro Calc app. Please improve the calculator. Two stars at most because of the calculator limitation.

Nice. Works very well. I had suggested a couple of calculators and the next update they were included. . When I have contacted the developer they got back to me fast and with what I needed. You can't ask for any better service than that! Thanks

Can't calculate anything that isn't square. I teach phone apps to landscape and golf professionals and this looked interesting. Unfortunately, all the area calculations in the app are based on rectangles/squares. Very few people install square lawns and landscape beds. At least change the app so you can enter an area measurement that you determine yourself (there are some great apps for that) and then the calculations may be more useful.

Luv it. Quick and simple

One Happy Contractor..!. If you're in the construction world.. BUY THIS APP..! Small price to pay for such a handy tool to have in your arsenal. Plus.. now I don't need to search for my other project calc cuz this one is already on my phone in my pocket.. Talk about convenient..!

Superintendent. This is a must have app. Use it as my main calculator and it is great to work with. Thank You!

Worth every penny. I have zero knowledge about home building, however, my husband and I are about to take on being our own contractor as we build our house. This app is wonderful. I've learned a lot from it and it has made creating a materials take-off list much more simple. It has handy, detailed labor calculators also? The bank loved having such detailed paper work when we applied for our construction loan. Very, very pleased!

Mr.. This is the single most comprehensive, CRAZY easy to use calculator on the planet! A bargain at twice the price. I would like to see sine and cosine functions and a plain ol calculator in the future ( if it were to be a 6 star app) other than that y'all just get 5.5 stars from me.

Useful tool. Very helpful app for most basic calculations for construction

2nd the flaw review. You’ve got to be kidding. A building calculator that won’t multiply feet and inches by feet and inches? This piece of crap is useless and if I could get my money back I would. Seriously, buy something else.

Needs an categorical table of contents with links. This has an awful lot of calculators, which is great. However, how do I find a particular calculator? If you had a table of contents grouped according to category like your description of the app, and with links so we could tap on the particular calculator and go straight to it, this app would be a thousand percent more useful. In that case, I will definitely give it 5 stars, as the quantity of information here is phenomenal! It is just very difficult to access it on the present form.

Not too shabby. I began using this app right away. Plenty of calculators and estimation tools to make most handy men's jobs easier. Could use stone repointing, including removal of old mortar in the time and stone veneer estimation tools. A very nice consistency throughout. Input of fraction measurements is easy. I can tell already this will be used quite often at work.

I want my money back please. Please

Incredible. Even though it doesn't open after the last update ....... I'm still going to give it FIVE STARS with the hope they get this fix within a day or so ..... Or I'll be back to change this rating .... This app has amazing details that can be drafted into a PDF ...incredible.

Electric job calculator???. Most trades have a list of items pertaining to their specific trade so you can calculate job costs. What happened when you guys did the electrical portion of the app.? Did you fall asleep? I'm an electrician, to me this app. is useless. The math calcs. I can do on my own, cute for someone who doesn't do them everyday for a living. On a high note for other trades I think you did good.

The D.I.Y.. This is a great app. As a Do It YourSelf'er It was always a hit or miss on material needed which in turn affected coast in spending more than anticipated or spending more than I had to not to mention storage space for the types of material that could not be returned. Well now that I have this app, I get pretty darn close every time, it does have so more than I will ever use but I'm sure if I had the knowledge and experience of a contractor and owned my own business I could use this app to its full potential, but I don't mind one bit paying for some thing that saves me time and money for the projects that I can tackle.. You know what they say better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.!!

Agile & Accurate. Love this little number cruncher. It works. Also its devs crafted it around a smart, informative privacy policy — I don’t have to worry about client dimensions getting peeked on by nosy tech savvy and $$$$ neighbors. Lastly; Thank You Calculated Industries devs $ coders for this agile little app!

useless!. I was very excited by reading the reviews, I thought this was gonna be great. Boy was I wrong! It has lots of things and almost all of them are useless. I am a general contractor and every time I tried to use the app I waisted so much time and ended up tossing the phone in the truck and doing it the easy way, the normal way. Gosh I wish someone would come up with a great product for this line of work. One that actually works. I wouldn't mind paying 50 bucks for it, if it actually works. It may work for you, but for me... nuh!

Love the app. Love the app, but found a glitch in the stair building calculator. The vertical cut that butts up against the top floor is off 3/4 of an inch. I had to cut the top portion off and it fit fine. Thought is was just me, but it occurred on the second set of steps also.

Great App!. This app is great, like most people I have downloaded several construction calculators but this is far more superior than all others. For someone who is not a pro but does a generous amount of projects this is great!

Everything a contractor needs to save time and money. Great app for on the run qouts and layouts when time is not what you have!!!!!

Simple a cool app for anyone.... If your a contractor or a home owner you'll find something in this program that will easily pay for it's self in the long run. I see it as an essential on my iPad. -BuildingInsider

Great Reference. App contains lots of good nformation. Excellent reference in the field when you need to explain something more clearly or need to make a quick calculation.

Awesome. The best guide for framing houses

Wrong rafter calculations.. Roof calculations for hip rafters are wrong. No section for changing hip rafter size.

Great tool to use in the class room!!!. I use this in my construction class room to cover areas like floors, walls, roofs and more. Well worth the money and then some.

Excellent before ..... Even better with this "World Friendly" update. Metric option tops it all. Great value app.

Mr. I am a builder, and it is just unbelievable just how useful this app is to me

Best of this type of App. Without a doubt the best app available for this type of work. Very easy to use and offers so much more than any of the other similar apps

Great helper. Great for the home renovator or Handy man

A is for AMAZING!!!!!. THE MORON THAT COMMENTED ABOUT THE LACK OF AUSTRALIAN/METRIC DATA IS WRONG.....IN A MAJOR WAY! He is obviously to stupid to notice that you can change it to imperial and METRIC and even your own countries currency! I can honestly say that this is the best and most detailed app of it's class.....it's that good it should actually have it's own class because none of the others even come close to it! Great work and hats off to the developer (as a carpenter myself) I can really see the time, effort and research that's gone in to this and you've hit it out of the park! Thank you for the countless hours and money you've saved me! I'll be telling everyone I can about this to help the word get out because this app truly needs to be seen and rewarded for how fantastic it really is! A+++++

Please put mm. Great app guys great time saver please change to millimeter for us metric guys. This app will sell the world over I will make sure of that let's do it in metric Cheers johno builder exstradanaure

Metric. Apps is good however it needs significant improvement. If you are going to offer metric units then change everything to metric - annoying to work in metric to then be presented with a choice of imperial sizes only! without a metric option! If this was fixed it would be excellent across the world app not just an app for the US! Come on guys fix it! Cheers Doug

Simply Amazing!!!!. By far the most informative packed App I have ever used. Hands down app of the year could not live without it!👍 A+++++++++

Useful. Very handy!!!!

Very usefull onsite app. This app makes life easier for working out calculations angles roof pitches trench back fills concreting work and lots more I use it at home for quotes and ordering and onsite for ordering , reference's, measuring and cutting conversions This is a must for trades

Very handy App. Very handy App I couldn't go without it, that's for sure

Excellent product. Super app, very handy once you get used to it. Everything in metric on Advice of reviews too, kudos

Wonderful app. Building my home and sheds has been made a Lot easier with this app. It has a reasonable metric interface but it appears to be aimed at the USA sizing. That said, it's still very useful because of its metric capacities.

Poor performer. Not enough metric/Australian data to be considered as a worthy app.

Good Enough.. This app is handy, however it does not allow for any adjustments of the results to aquire dimensions. Great if you know how to use the tools given, but difficult for beginners. Entirely this app will save you time and reduce costly job overruns.

My Little Bible. Works well as a confirmation tool, let's me double check my maths.

Love it.. Love it , paid for itself within the first hr on the job.

Wow!. This APP has everything you are looking for. It helps solve any equations and easy to use. There is so much information in this app, that I highly recommend to anyone doing any amount of renovations. It even can tell you how many gallons of paint you will need to how much lumber you will need .

Very good. Does everything it does very well. I highly recommend it.

Nice. Takes time to find some items but is very detailed. Love the program. Thanks!!

Great product. Love it works well

Great app. As a part time renovator, I find this to be invaluable. Easy to use, straight forward, makes estimating and quoting a breeze.

App is awesome. Very good app, really helpful

Right out to lunch. Does not calculate properly Ripoff app for sure

Freezes. It freeze on tape and can,t delete tapes and can,t go to menu

Amazing!. Wonderful! Lots of info available, at your fingertips!

Great set of tools. Now I'm very happy, the map tool rocks, thanks for the update, I was worried about losing this great set of tools really the best of its kind.

Has it all. Just the app I check first. And they keep it updated Great app

Very useful!. Very very useful software, can delete all others measuring apps as it has all in one! Just need currency updates.

Best friend on job!. Very useful to prepare a job!!

Great App. There is nothing missing from this app,as far as I can see. Easy to use,very clear details. Will be very handy for the General Contractor,or subtrade. Well worth the money.

Perfect. Has so many great applications & has detailed explanations... a lot of help

Good App But Needs Work. This app is very useful but it needs some changes it is very hard to find what app you need without using the search feature and some calculations could be added. That being said I love having it and go to it every time I have a tricky carpentry problem.

Awesome app. Very useful , I highly recommend this app

Owner / Operator. Excellent Apt, really isn't much I can't do with it,

Pocket Assistant. Great app with lots of potential. Very handy on the job site.

estimator. this app is so accurate for install time along with material cost. i love it and use it on every job.

Best Carpenters Resource!. There is a lot of excellent information in this app. Probably the best developed app I have used to building and estimates!

Tape no longer works. Calculator tape no longer works

Great App. Very handy...have used it plenty of times...corner angles in calculations of polygons seem to use wrong formula by doubling the proper result.

Great app. Great app

Good App. Very useful

Excellent. Parfait pour estimer.

Bs. No irregular pitch in the hip roof section, they assume that both pitches are the same?!? Pitch quick conversion chart only goes up to 12/12. Hip angels are give in x/17 values. Lots of good features but the ones I need are not there

My review. Nice app with lots of calculation possibilities. But a front page to select what calculations you want would be nice rather than scrolling through the pages.

awesome. thankyou for this great app

Amazing. I love it

Nice. Very nice app use each day

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Exceptional. I've been in the business for over 20 years and this is the app for me. The right info at my finger tips. No more scratching it out on a piece of 2x4!

More Than I Expected. This is an amazing application. It seems to have every conceivable calculator. I expect to use this often. Well done!

Not so great. Really needed help with a porch rebuild. Tutorial is very poor. Without that at least FAQ but this has nothing. You can copy but can't paste. "Tapes" won't allow input. Great info but inputs into calcs is a mystery. Wish I could get my money back. Hop

Great App. I really love this app it's been a huge factor in my field of work. I'm still learning a lot from it. I like how versatile it is

Great. Works great on the iPad and the iPhone. What a time saver to have all the calculations ready in 1 spot.

Very helpful for the DIY person. Great app gives me the information I need to get the job done without any fuss.

Incredible. At first I thought this was a simple calculator with a lot of pages of "How to do it" info. Then I realized the whole thing is a calculator. Simply amazing app.

Awesome. Use it for everything

Nice but.... A lot of nice features and apparently a good value for the money but it can be a little awkward to use and one of the stair calculations was just wrong so it makes me wonder how many other results are wrong.

AV8R. This is the BEST app. I have ever used so far. I also spent the extra .99 cents & got the angel app. BEST $5.99 I think I have ever spent. Super EASY TO USE! Thank-you to who ever made this app.

Great app!. As both a draftsman and homeowner I am extremely happy with this purchase. Very useful tools and easy to use.

Great Great but overwhelming. Hundreds of programs in one. Number one go to program for construction.

Yeah, I Said It!!!!!!. Im a Union Carpenter ( One of the Best & Well Rounded Carpenter/Handyman/Home Improvement Professional THERE IS)I think this is an Awesome App. The PERFECT/MUST HAVE TOOL, for any Contractor or Home Improvement Specialist!

Great Ap!. This is an amazing ap to go with me everywhere. No more calculator, pen and paper or trying to work on my phone. This ap is like a contractor's leatherman!

Good app for the money. Great app for the price. Has some shortcomings but better than other apps I have. I use it often

It's what i bought..... I like it so far. It actually does more than i realized. Thanks for the app!!!

Very nice. I like this app, nothing in this world is perfect but this app can help me a lot

Awesome tool!. All in one in the palm of your hands....don't miss out!

Best Construction Job Aid EVER. This app is hands down the simplest I've ever seen or used. Simply presented calculations and information. This is the "Construction For Dummies" app of the century.

Amazing!!!!!. This is the best app for the money I have ever purchased! Very user friendly, yet powerful!!!

Well done. Overall a fairly thorough app. I wish more time could be put into the hours estimate portion of the program. A material price guideline would be icing on the cake. Great app though.

Perfect app. Couldn't ask for a more functional app

Unreal. Could not ask for more. Would have paid a lot more.

One major flaw. The calculations are awesome. But by the time I find the calculator I want, i could've calculated it with paper and pencil. Please add a table of contents like you have in the app description here. Otherwise it has been impractical.

Great reference. Does what it says. Good value. Takes a little playing around to find all the features.

Sweet. Love this app. Lot of useful information for the regular guy with lots of projects

Fantastic. So much functionality for so little price.

Very useful. Does what it says with easy interface. Love it.

Framing. I thought it would be much different. Not really happing with it. When you put in your dimension it doesn't change. Confusing. Need more pictures and demonstrations on what you are doing. Dimension should show up in a diagram.

Great app. Still learning to move through the app but for the price I am very impressed. It's simple yet thorough can't beat that

Love it. Makes my job a whole lot easier

New look. Like the new update interface is much better

Nice!. Forget my last review. Found what I needed. Awesome app. Feature I needed was there all along, didn't see it at first glance. Keep u the good work!

Great program. Everything I wanted in a construction calculator, and many cool extra features I wasn't expecting.

Great.. Excellently made and very useful. Use this more than the 80 buck calc we bought for the company.

Excellent Apps. Wish I had this years ago. So easy to get values to so many handyman issues. This is like 10 apps in one. Worth the $4.99

Worth the miner. Works well and has much handy information at my finger tips.

Very nice. My boss has the more expensive buildcalc and this app is better. The menu system and visual make it easy to use.

Good for rookies. Great app to have if you're new at building your own stuff.

Awesome App. I ❤ it! Must have for tradesman, I am an California HVAC contractor and this the most program I use in my field. I wish they have more Calcs related to HVAC stuff. Keep up the goodies coming you guys!

Misleading. Bought app for the primary function of measuring yards from maps similar to the example. This feature is appears to only be an idea for the future and not yet available. Wasted money

Love it. Virtually every calculator for the advanced DIYer. Cuts down significantly on planning time and trips back to the store.

Excellent. Great for my work at Habitat for Humanity in calculating onsite and during meetings when questions come up about job costs.

Home pro. I do not like that you have to go through each page one by one. It would be a lot easier to chose from a list of each page, and chose what you are looking for.

Amazing. I do Kitchen, Baths, & Basements, this tool is very helpful for bids and calculations. A must if you're in the business!

I like. It has a lot but I wish it had more if they made a bigger better one I would get it

Useful apps. This apps help me to determine all types of technical terms and knowledge of construction.

Nice app.. Comprehensive yet not overreaching. I've tried a few construction apps but this is now my preferred.

Crash every time. You can't delete favorites without the app crashing and closing down. How do you delete your history??? And I would like to also see a "better calculator" like turn iPhone or iPad on its side to add more calculations buttons. And more info pictures and how to info for the days your having a brain fart :-p.... Plz fix then ill give 4-5 stars

Great app. This app has help me with my landscape calculations and it is very easy to use.
