Was building a wheelchair ramp and needed the pythagorean theorem automated numerous times. Basic calc on phone was horrible at inputting every time. Found this and saw how much it has and immediately bought to remove ads. Has a lot for construction. I love the stair stringer cutout diagram. I would be happy to pay to support the dev to bug fix and update with new features. Has a lot of customization features other apps do not. Simple things that makes the app easier to use based on preferences.

I needed a better way to convert feet-inches to decimal inches, to help me with my hobby of taking old home floor plans and creating 3D virtual models, from them. The previous technique was either to convert feet and inches to decimal inches, for faster entry, or take 5 keystrokes to enter feet first then inches. After figuring out how to set the secondary measurement display to inches, I was set using this app, it is perfect for what I needed to do. Over the next few days I will work with the app and my modeling program, to see if my efficiency improves, I am sure it well. Thanks for a great app!

I tried this app when faced with a project of installing some porch railing. I can only echo the other reviews that suggests there is none better. Like others, I purchased the full version, not because I actually needed an ad free version, but because I think good app developers deserve to be properly compensated for their work. And this app works. The only thing about this app I would change is to make it sense how you are putting in your dimension, and giving your return value the same way. For example, if I subtract 55 7/8" from 96", the app returns 3' 4 1/8". It would have been nice if it had sensed my usage of "inches" and returned 40 1/8" instead of 3' 4 1/8". There may be a way to toggle the return format in settings. To be honest, I haven't looked into that. I'm constantly going back and forth from inputting inch values to inputting feet and inch values. I'd hate to have to go change a setting every time I needed to switch input methods. It would just be nice if it would sense that. And if that is impossible, maybe a button that would toggle the return value from feet and inches to inches. Or maybe list inches only between the return value and decimal value.

Thanks for the review / upgrading! It is greatly appreciated!
Go to Settings - Numbers - Inches Only and you'll get the 40 1/8" output you're looking for.

Also, very clever idea on sensing inches! I'll think of a good way to implement that.
