Jobber X Pro Calculator for Android
I have used the jobber for years and loved it but this app has sure given me fits. For some reason I can not not enter in a 12/12 pitch in either the right triangle mode or the roof mode. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it and it still doesn't work. Even after I've installed it I used to still carry my jobber 6 because I wasn't sure if I was going to like this app, but now that I've started using it more I quit carrying my jobber 6 but now this thing left me stranded on the job as I could not do 45 degre
Works like a Jobber, but it would be nice if it made a sound and/or had haptic feedback when you clicked the buttons. Also there is what I am assuming is a circle menu button in the bottom right corner, that had no functionality.
The app does accurately recreate the look of the Jobber, but there are some issues. The buttons do seem to be as large as they can be, but the display is too small. The input is also slow and there seems to be no tactile feedback (that little vibration that lets you know you pressed a button). There also appear to be no adjustable settings (the settings button does nothing). It would be nice to be able to start jobber in the mode you most commonly use vs cycling through the modes every time you start it.This app will do in a pinch, but it will not replace your calculator just yet.
Like the app because it's always with you and the jobber calculator isn't.
Pros - Same great calculator input and function. Cons - As mentioned by others, the buttons are small. Even in landscape. Dimension in upper corner is small also. Overall layout needs work. Also, when typing in dimensions, you have to go slow otherwise the app will not pick up entries. Doesn't replace the standard Jobber yet.
My first jobber calculator was a jabber 2 and if you're in any construction business this is a must.... I laid out a slope pipeline in AutoCad and got the same answer with my jobber.... Great product.... THANKS
I have been using the Jobber calculator for over ten years because it simply is the best calculator out there for structural drafters and anyone else in the construction trades. Now that I have it on my phone I'm not likely to forget it at the office when heading out to the field.
Buttons are too small and display too small. Not a very good design

Current version does not allow for entry of 12/12 pitch, nor does it recognize that when entering a new rise and run that the pitch should change to those new proportions. Very frustrating. Will no longer use this app until / unless an update is done. Jobber 6 in the pocket for me.
