Latest reviews of Fast Block app for iPhone and iPad
Im a bricklayer by trade and vie been searching for an app like this for a while. Worth the dollar for sure to allow a computer to do the math for you.
App could be very useful if formulas used were corrected. Acts buggy- sometimes need to toggle between block sizes to give accurate quantities of 8x8x16. Says a 10 high wall is 14.5 courses of 8x8x16 instead of 15. Also calculates bags of premix instead of yards of sand and bags or lbs of cement. Im in the US, maybe the application fits elsewhere.
