The app works fine thank you and clients think it's cool.

Maybe it's your phone that sucks.

Nice find Wayne, that is something I would use too! Haven't seen one of those recently. I still do it the old fashion way. My two foot level and Master IV calulator.
Off course Michael has all the top $ toys.

Well, I was an abacist for awhile myself, Joe, but upgraded to my construction Master IV, I found it more accurate.

It won't work on his cheap *** phone anyway.

Thanks for the info Mike!!

I'm getting rid of my bag phone next month and haven't decided to go with the IPhone or a Driod but will get that app.

Words for friends app will never be on my phone. Thinking about putting my wife on a 12 step program with that thing. Driving me crazy!!
