Roof Pitch Factor 4+

This app gives you the pitch factor and angle which is something I have yet to find another app does. However unless you accept the location tracking “while using the app” you’re prompted with the reminder to turn it on each time you open the app...

Make this not show up after the first few times and the app would be perfect. When you’re on a roof it would be great to just open the app and have it work. The less little tinkering I need to do while on the roof the better.

I’ve been using this app for over a year as an adjuster. More recently, there has been a bug that doesn’t allow camera or location services. The app gives instructions to go to settings and privacy to change the settings, but the bug doesn’t allow you to alter the settings to get the app working properly. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it several times, but to no avail.

I’m still able to put the phone against a slope to get the pitch, but I can’t snap photos to add to my reports. I have to write them down on a notepad and write them into my reports.

Hopefully a developer sees this review and responds. I’d happily change my two star rating to a five if they can get this fixed.

I’m new to roofing and needed something very simple to determine the slope. This app makes your smart phone into a simple slope indicator and works amazing! I tried several apps, but none worked like this one! I recommend it highly. Oh …. Showed it to the men who have done roofing for years and even they were amazed about its accuracy and ease of use.
