Pros and cons of Home Improvement Calcs app for iPhone and iPad

Home Improvement Calcs app good for

So simple to use and so complete... It just saved me time and money... And headache!!!
Great App for anyone thats into home improvements! A quick and easy reference on a lot of topics. Thanks to the developers!!!
Covers a wide variety of useful calculations. Nice to open one app instead of three.
Has everything you need for quick budget cost to build a house.
Fantastic tool for both the iPhone or iPad. A must for the DYI person! Ive used this app for over a year now, as a home DYI guy who likes to do it all, this is my only "Go To App" for all the household jobs as well as the woodworking shop. AWESOME is the best word to describe it! No go buy it!
Super handy little app for DIY or contractor, been having difficulty adding "add ons" though

Some bad moments

What a great app! The calculators are categorized so they are easy to find and use, limiting human error. Handy to have!
Starting several projects around the house and was looking for an app that I could use for adding and subtracting fractions for wall framing. As a 1.0 app its a great start. Would like to see it polished up a little more. The top menu buttons are sunk in for some reason. Also the tile calc I did in inches however it emails out in feet but the math might still be right. Keep updating to get 5 stars!
Wow does so much more than all the other apps on here and then some.
Save your $$$$. I bought this for some help on windows and doors. They have info on installing wallpaper, but nothing on windows and doors. Who uses wallpaper these days.....not many!! This app needs a lot of upgrades before they charge $2.99. Give me a break!!!
Lots of useful info but really needs a fractional calculator so you can add 1/16, 32nds etc. Also a table comparing nail sizes would be helpful......4 penny, 6 penny etc.
I really like the variety of features on this calculator. Many are really handy and really useful. Some I will never use, simply because I dont need them. But hey, for $1.99 how can anyone complain?
