5/5very handy
i have had this app for years now and have not had to search for another one. Has what I need every time I search something. It’s not perfect but it’s close.

5/5Must have!
If you’re in the steel business then you need this app. I use it everyday and is always coming in handy on jobs and in meetings. I’d give it 6 stars if it was possible.

5/5Dont forget the AISC
With this app and the AISC downloaded as a PDF you are good to go for iron.

4/5Multi function would be great
It would help if you can use fraction dimensions and not all decimal units For example stead of using 1.25 you can use 1”1/4
