Review summary

Users appreciate the app's focus on baluster spacing and construction calculators, finding some tools helpful. However, the app suffers from heavy paywalls restricting free use, with many essential features locked behind a premium subscription. Multiple users reported issues with payment validation and subscription access. Technical problems with certain calculators and lack of clear pricing deter users. Overall, while the concept is promising, the app's usability is hindered by limited free features, technical flaws, and payment concerns.

Pros

Useful for baluster spacing and staircase-related measurements.
Contains calculators that some users found helpful.
Provides specialized construction tools like stair and raking wall calculators.

Cons

Most features require a premium subscription; free functionality is very limited or nonexistent.
Subscription and payment issues reported, including paid users being denied access.
Some calculators, like raking wall and running measurements, have technical or usability flaws.
Lack of transparency about pricing and subscription terms before download.
User interface lacks key functions like replaying or pausing spoken measurements, making it less user-friendly.

2024-04-05	Co*****	A quick look at app and is overall very good. Unlike most whingers here I am happy to pay for a good service however there is nowhere I have found that tells me price or term therfore a little shifty. Speaking runnong measurments a good option but could not see how to set how quickly they are spoken and no pause or replay last measurement option if you drop the tape or not hear a measurement, so have to start again from begining. Triangke solver is very confusing. Worth a look.

2024-03-10	Mi*****	All this app does is Baluster spacing unless you buy the pro package. And any 5 year old can do that. Stop unless your like 4 and can't do Balusters then this app is useless unless you just want to kick out cash for apps you can get elsewhere free! When they replied that this app has usefulness without purchasing it, that must have been someone else's app they where referring to, it's certainly not that one. This is a waste of your data to download and your space to keep it. DELETE!
