Surely a very powerful tool but using it is not easy. A better Help system needed. I bought this for determining hip rafter backing angles and can't figure out how to use it. Looking for something simple that I could simply enter Rise and Run, eave or plan angle and get Hip/Valley Backing Angle.

About this app

Rafter Tools is an android app with functions to calculate complex roof framing angles that other roof framing calculators can't and don't offer. Calculating common rafters with a construction calculator is fairly easy, but to be a master carpenter you need more roof framing angle information then the construction calculators offers. With the Rafter Tools android app you'll be able to calculate all of the complex angles for roof framing.

The app's main screen uses a left swipe motion to display all of the different calculators.
