It does the job
CM Ron
I’m a professional estimator and normally do my take offs using Bluebeam on my PC. I recently picked up a MacBook Neo, and was looking for a native take off application, and decided to check this out. It can scale, measure, mark ups. Still getting used to the interface and controls. I’ll still be using Bluebeam on my PC, but this is perfect for on the go quick takeoffs. For $25 bucks it’s not Bluebeam, but it does the job.
Finally!!

Finally, a plan reader and takeoff app for Mac OS! Works well and the developer has been improving it along the way. Ive been waiting a long time for something like this.
I want this to work

It’s a really nice looking platform. Froze on me when I tried to use it many times. Its unresponsive. Maybe in a couple updates it will work as it should.

Buggy…
Herbino12
As a Mac user, I have been searching for a native application to do takeoffs for years. I was very excited when I came across this one, but disappointed once I started using it. It was very buggy, and continues to freeze just about every time I try to do an area takeoff. I have to close the window and get back in, starting all over again. Not worth the $ until they can make it more reliable.
Developer Response
We will get these bugs ironed out and I will send you another download for a free download once the next version goes live. Thanks for the review.
