## Description

RedX Roof Pro is a powerful 3D Roof Builder, Roof Blueprint Generator, and Rafter Calculator designed for contractors, framers, and serious DIYers. Its 3D Roof Framing Engine automatically generates common rafters, hip rafters, valley rafters, jack rafters, gable roofs, and roof sheathing layouts, letting you design complete roof systems in interactive 3D and view individual rafters.

Export print-ready PDFs of construction-ready blueprints with labeled parts and full cut lists, plus tools for gambrel roofs, dormers, turret roofs, bay roofs, and more. All measurements support CM, MM, feet and inches, with detailed material lists to bring accurate framing plans to the job site.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for easy roof calculations and useful features (perimeter/pitch input, 3D view, saving/exporting), with generally accurate results. However, widespread paywall and subscription requirements, stability bugs/crashes, and visualization/usability issues (zooming, full-screen viewing, and account onboarding) are the most frequently mentioned drawbacks.

### Pros

- Easy to use and helps with roof calculations.
- Feature-rich workflow: input perimeter and pitch, highlight rafters, 3D view, save projects, and export PDF.
- Calculations are generally accurate and the app is considered a useful construction tool.

### Cons

- Paywall/subscription required to access features; not free and many users dislike the pay model.
- Stability issues: bugs and crashes reported by numerous users.
- Visualization and usability problems: 3D view unreliable, difficult to zoom/full-screen diagrams, and some features behind a pay wall.
- Requires an account to use or onboarding friction that hinders first-time use.
