Rafter Calculator for Android
So I had a roof job and forgot my Construction Master 5 Calc. So I downloaded this on the way to the job. Worked alright job was done with minimum problems, only used the common rafter portion btw. After I got home and was checking some of the information I noticed that several numbers the app supplied were 1/2-1 1/2 off from what my dedicated Calc. Supplied. End result: roof looks good but there are gaps where there shouldn't be, mainly at the heel of the ridge cut and a portion of the bird mouth.
It's a app worth having as a contractor who frames houses and roofs...thank you
Can't enter fractions of an inch. Android 6
Once HAP value entered, the app crashes.
Good stuff......if its not working for chances are its too advanced.lmao
Very easy to use and works
Very helpful

Works better on an older version of Android. I've had no problems with the calculations. Thanks!
Calculated the rafter length about one and a half times what it should have been.
Nice
For installers in solar installation consider this tool as an on site second calc. No assumptions think twice measure and calc before penetrating the roof.
Crashed the very 1st time I tried to use it
Complete waste of time can't put on lumber dimensions
Great!!!
It works
I wish I would have found this app about 12 hours ago because this right here took all of my figuring and paperwork(12hrs worth) and turned it into about 5 minutes worth of punching numbers on my phone lol this is the best Roof calculation rafter design application or system I've ever seen in my life just takes the cake thank you for whoever designed it you are my hero :-)
Do not bother if you are looking for a good rafter calculater go elsewhere
Very effective tool for all rafter types, great app
Easy to use

1-Hate that I have to re- enter parameters to do the hip n valley ones after I've already done the commons... Should be able to do both. 2-Don't like that I can't specify a horizontal overhang instead of tail length. 3-For hip calc, the tail length should by lengthened to match common. 4-Based on entered parameters it should know how many jacks are needed... Why not list them with actual dimensions instead of having to calculate each one. Less chance of error, especially when adding fractional inches.
