## Review summary

Roof Pitch Factor is praised for reliably showing roof pitch and aiding documentation in the field, and is seen as a time-saver and easy-to-use tool. However, a strong, recurring theme is instability: the app often crashes on launch or won’t stay open, with many reports tied to iOS version updates. Users also cite difficulty exiting the app and compatibility issues across iOS releases. A few note minor accuracy variances or ad-related concerns, but the core value remains when the app runs.

### Pros

- Shows roof pitch reliably.
- Works well in the field; time saver.
- Useful for documentation; can take pictures and tie them to a roof/property.
- Simple slope indicator; easy to use for new roofers.
- Stable and not overwhelmed by ads (per reviewer)

### Cons

- App frequently crashes on launch or won’t stay open, especially after iOS updates.
- Hard to close or exit the app on iPhone (poor UX for closing)
- Compatibility issues across multiple iOS versions (16, 17, 18) leading to crashes or failure to load
- Occasional freezes or performance hiccups reported by some users
