looks ok but they grab your details first, then smash you with subscription costs. Not for the home handyman, cost inhibitive.

Hi Matt, thanks for your feedback. The app is free to download and no payment details are required to get started. If you do choose to upgrade, we offer annual and lifetime plans alongside weekly, providing much better value. All pricing is displayed upfront before any commitment. Our support team is happy to help anytime.

for $4.49 a week the app is quite limited in its functions. The text is cut almost in half horizontally. App needs major improvements and upgrades or a much lower price.

Thanks for the feedback. The text issue on Fold devices is a bug — they’re only about 0.5% of our users, so this rare layout slipped through. We’re on it. If you’ve got specific gripes, email support@chippy.tools.

A quick look at app and is overall very good. Unlike most whingers here I am happy to pay for a good service however there is nowhere I have found that tells me price or term therfore a little shifty. Speaking runnong measurments a good option but could not see how to set how quickly they are spoken and no pause or replay last measurement option if you drop the tape or not hear a measurement, so have to start again from begining. Triangke solver is very confusing. Worth a look.

Hi Colin, Thanks for the review. The price of the app and term are clearly displayed within the app before purchase, which allows us to localise the price to each country. Controlling speaking speed is with our development team to improve. If you have any suggestions on how we could improve the triangle calculator, email support@chippy.tools
