Builder's Helper - Advanced Construction Calculator App Reviews

Easy to use and versatile.

memory not working. e.g. multiply 1800 x 100 and when you add the 180,000 to memory it goes in as 180. bad bug. Bug with large calculations fixed with os6. I am an architect and spec builder of several decades and I routinely use this app. Very well designed and thought out. If you are in the building business you need this app.

Very useful app. I constantly find my way out of a jam by using the myriad of functions to navigate through complex problems.

Thanks to this app I was able to get my job done. Passed inspection & home sweet home.

Really hate the changes to the notepad. It is nearly useless now. I had kept a copy of the old version so I deleted the new version, & reinstalled the old one. You have to be careful not to hit "update all (apps)" if you revert because it will re-install 3.4 version... Thats a real pain...Apples fault on that one as there is no option to turn off an update for particular app

Before you could save dimensions you used often to the notepad and then just touch the dimension to copy it to the calculator. This was the whole reason I liked this app. I do a lot of pipe fitting and I had all the dims of my fittings in the notepad so I could just touch the description of the fitting I needed to calculate. Now all the notepad does is takes notes. This app is worthless to me now.

I like the builders helper it makes calculations easy and its great no matter what your field of expertise

Absolutely hate the update. Hate the fount hard to read. Dont like I cant tap the value and add it to my calculator to figure my problems. Why fix whats not broke

Havent used the old version but this one seems to be real easy

Love this app, but when it gets down to small measurements it fails. 3/32" does not equal 1/8", 4/32" equals 1/8". Only 1/32 of an inch off. But annoying as hell when your saw blade is 3/32" and the calculator cant account for it.

Love this app and use it constantly. However, in quick jobs and wall framing its not allowing me to scroll past total bottom plates. Bug in the app? Otherwise a great resource.

I recently upgraded back to an iPhone and previously three years ago I had this app and it was great. still after three years of having multiple types of devices and going back to an iPhone this is by far my favorite app for any type of construction equations

This app is extremely crash prone when attempting to enter info into dialogue boxes. It is also nearly impossible to report bugs to the developer as their website was apparently last updated in 2008. When it works, this is an excellent app for small carpentry and deck projects. If the developer would fix the bugs, including a very iffy dropbox sync, this would be a five-star app.

Once Again ..... Nothing! It wont even open, AGAIN! After this other update that Ive been waiting for so I can start using this again .....but NO .... Another useless update What was the point of this update .... Now it doesnt even open! No way to contact developer, you fill out a form and theres no mention that its been received. App has a standing status of being USELESS! This is harsh I know! But until they inform us that they receive emails.... My review shall stand.

Has been an ongoing problem for me.

I wish was customizable. Like replacing some functions for Length, Width & Height, & Shortcuts.BRING BACK STORE & THE PREVIOUS NOTEPAD! READ THE REVIEWS!!!.

I have been using this app for several years,and it is very useful. Every update I anticipate a iPad version. Please consider.

This is my go to calculator. Quick jobs is great for quick calculations in the field.
