Ratings and reviews

Great idea but two features don't work for me. (Android) Firstly the slope angle checker does not show the view of the slope / horizon at all, camera access is granted, tried reinstalling to no avail. Also the slope Aspect Hazard tool shown in the PDF instructions is not even shown as a menu item on my app. Would love to have both these features fixed.

Would be great if it worked properly; neither the slope angle tool works (doesn't access camera) nor the planning pages (no information displayed). Disappointing as this app has been around for a while and worked with other versons of Android.

Good app but not working properly despite reinstalling it. The slope angle tool isn't using the camera despite access granted. Could the developers look at a fix please?
