    Is there input for various grout line thickness for tile flooring?

  2. Mike says:

    Not currently, but that is something I could check into adding. Are you looking for a grout calculator that gives you the lbs. of grout needed for the job?

    love the app. Was wondering if you will have any electrical calc/ charts or will you consider doing an app much like the uglys handbook, pipe bending and all other formulas that are in it

  4. Mike says:

    Hi Bill, glad you like the app! I’ve got some ideas on electrical calculators and charts that I’ll be working on.

    Please let me know if there is anything specifically that would help you the most.

    Thanks!
    Mike

    Great app! Would love to see a more traditional setup for the frac calc. Instead of dropdown windows, have a number pad on the calc. Also a square and square root key would be help for figure right andle diangonals as in square something up. Thanks Richard

    Hi Richard,
    I like the input method because you can use your finger or the keypad. Once you have the number picker expanded, just type the number on the keypad rather than flicking through it. Best of both worlds, unless I’m missing something.

    ok, cool didn’t know that. How bout a square up option then, I’m greedy, lol
