## Review summary

User reviews converge on a shift from a one-time, lifetime license to a costly subscription, plus removal of fraction-based results. The app remains a usable DIY/construction calculator for some, but widespread dissatisfaction stems from pricing, migration of paid features, and changes that reduce usability (fraction support, ad-embedded UI, and feature locking).

### Pros

- Historically offered a one-time purchase / lifetime access instead of a subscription, which many users preferred.
- It was quick, easy to use and provided the basic calculator functions needed for DIY/construction projects.
- It delivered straightforward, real-world calculation capabilities (e.g., fractional and inch-based calculations) that users relied on.

### Cons

- Transition to a high-cost recurring subscription (around $40/year) was widely criticized as greedy and not worth it.
- Removal of fractions in results; the app now shows decimals only, which many users rely on for construction math.
- Long-time buyers cannot restore prior purchases or access previously paid features after the update; access to paid content changed or is not transferable.
- Ads were introduced after updates, with bottom-of-screen ads that disrupt workflow.
- Key construction-related options are locked behind the paid upgrade, limiting core functionality unless paying.
