Hallelujah. This Old House Magazine BalusterPro is an awesome app and can be used for a multitude of layout tasks, at your desk, on the job, in your car—wherever your phone goes, and it only costs a few bucks. Gary Katz - Master finish carpenter and publisher of THISiscarpentry.com BalusterPro makes building that stairway more heavenly homefixated.com ____________________________________ Instructions for Use: BalusterPro offers calculations for six different common handrail situations which you may encounter.  First, tap the settings button to select your measurement input method, then select the desired type of baluster installation. Use the keypad or sliders to enter your measurements for ‘Run Length’ (distance between the newel posts) and the ‘Baluster Width.’  Finally, just drag the ‘Balusters Needed’ slider to see your required number of balusters. As you adjust the ‘Balusters Needed’ slider, the “Spacing Between Balusters” will simultaneously update. Stop when your ‘Spacing Between Balusters’ meets your specific code requirements. Tap the view button to see a list of all the centers and edges of the balusters. No longer will you need to keep pressing the add button on your traditional calculator to list your centers....they are all shown on one screen! It’s just that simple! You can display your measurements by selecting 1/16, 1/32, or metric on the main screen to determine your precision level. If desired you can also display your result down to 1/64. To do this, once you have done your calculation, simply tap the 'Spacing Between Balusters' result and if possible it will be further reduced down to 1/64 and displayed for 5 seconds. This is handy if you want to cut all your fillets at once as it nearly eliminates cumulative error. Tap the speak buttons at the bottoms of the list columns to have the app speak your measurements. ____________________________________________________________________ Check out my other construction related apps...StairBuilderPro for a stair stringer layout tool & TilePro for a simple tile layout tool. ____________________________________________________________________ Check out the video demo at my website to see BalusterPro in action. ## BalusterPro Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/55/4f/85/554f85b1-b6c4-757a-7499-bbaf4dce3aa3/mzl.rqifjmsx.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/3a/23/6b/3a236b8c-4b75-8f32-f87c-609b75d1629d/mzl.rbijxkxj.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/ee/6f/86/ee6f86f7-4385-c3f1-9d4c-6c63bfdf57dc/mzl.fknrlzzt.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/06/47/fb/0647fb3d-85aa-17be-0af9-67b96dc335a6/mzl.bzsfcrbv.png/640x960.png) ## BalusterPro Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 12 (71%) - 4 stars: 1 (6%) - 3 stars: 1 (6%) - 2 stars: 1 (6%) - 1 stars: 2 (12%) ## BalusterPro Reviews in United States ### ***** "Love it" Very useful app. Definitely due for an update. It’s very slow and kicks you out randomly. -- Sj aura, 2024-12-03 ### ***** "Annett Construction LLC" Have been using this app since the beginning when developed. Greg even sent me an email when he developed for android phone and asked for any input. I’m a trim carpenter and have used this app on hundreds of stairs. Such a big time saver. Not only works on balusters,but beams, decorative moldings on walls and other uses. Great app and time saver. Thanks -- saw dust guy, 2022-06-17 ### ***-- "Not compatible with metric units" It’s an okay, basic app. Works as described. It could use a few upgrades. 1 inch = 25.4mm. It only allows you to put in whole numbers for metric. It would be nice to have a visualization tool, so you can see how the balusters would look between the post. It would be nice to have the option to start with a center baluster and then space out evenly in each direction. -- Stupid crashing app, 2021-08-02 ### *---- "Use less" Their isn’t no way to enter the center measurement and when you tap on view tab, it kicks you right out of the app. -- 1An2th3, 2021-05-02 ### *---- "no way to enter on center measurement . pretty much makes it useless" awful -- fjufffgj, 2021-03-26 ### ***** "Years of Consistent Successful Use" Apps don’t get more useful than this one. All those calculations nobody wants to make are made for you. Not only does this app work perfectly for balusters indoors and out, it gives you the layout for any project with spaced components. Then it reads you the numbers so you can mark with both hands. -- PlainSpotter, 2020-12-17 ### ***** "Excellent App!" I just started using this app but so far I think it's terrific. It pretty much matches up with my own recipe to calculate baluster spacing but saves me all those math steps. -- Jack the (Wood) Ripper, 2020-07-23 ### ***** "Worth every penny!" I'm a residential carpenter and I love this app! It has saved me some much time and money while at the same time making for a much nicer final product. I not only use the app to lay-out balusters but also to lay-out wainscoting, coffered ceilings, shelving and even fencing. -- CTH slim, 2016-04-06 ### ***** "Nice!" This is a fantastic tool. As a finish carpenter I use it almost daily for a variety of layout tasks not just baluster spacing. An invaluable app I think is a must have for any carpenter. Also new voice feature is pretty cool. -- Cyclops1, 2015-06-01 ### ***** "Very nice!!! Muito bom!!! Mucho bueno" You can use to do cabinets, wainscoting, coffer ceiling etc... Muito bom app, pode ser usado em varias coisas que leva layout -- Alalvi, 2014-08-12 ### ***** "Stair reno" What an awesome find. Took all the guess work and calculations out of my project. Entered in a few basic numbers and then make the marks at the designated points. Could not be any simpler!! It took me less than 5 minutes to calculate 2 runs and a slope. THANK YOU! -- DanB54, 2014-04-30 ### ***** "It's so easy!" I just completed layout and installation of tapered balusters for my remodel and this app was much more than handy... It was huge time-saver. Every worked out perfectly and to code. Thanks for a great app!! Btw- iPhone 5 has digital angle finder built in to the "Compass" feature which works very well at getting the railing angle. -- HB Homes, 2014-03-11 ### ***** "Really good" Best app I've bought so far. I use it all the time. And all my balusters are always perfect. -- Lascarez, 2013-08-26 ### ***** "Makes Life A Lot Easier!" This app is a must have for contractors. You can even use it to estimate how much material you'll need. A real time saver. -- Kittster808, 2013-05-17 ### ***** "Great App" After spending an hour doing math to layout interior balusters I broke down and purchased this app. A few minutes later and I was installing them. Great resource! -- KRONCO99, 2012-12-08 ### ***** "Great App" This app does everything you need to make installing balusters as easy as possible. I love it. -- Blchar, 2012-07-06 ### ***** "Best app ever!" Most useful app I ever purchased! Though I am an experienced framer. I am not much of a finish carpenter. I have only built one deck with balusters. And used this app for the only interior stair railings I have ever built. After spending over an hour trying to figure out the formula for correct spacing, which by the way never came out right. Ugh! I searched and found this app. It worked flawlessly and my spacing came out perfect! It saved me so much time and stress. Thank you! I will recommend it to everyone I know. -- Flashmaster123, 2012-06-23 ### ***** "Amazing" Great app saves a ton of time and easy to use. -- Metalsdmf, 2012-01-21 ### ***** "FANTASTIC!!!" We were in the final stages of completing our 26' x 16' deck, and we were ready to install the railing and balusters. However, we were a little intimidated in making sure that the balusters were all spaced respectfully. After some frustration, I sat down and thought, "What the heck? I might as well shoot for a chance that there just may be some kind of app for this?!?" Sure enough, there was! I've never written a review on an app before, but this one was very worthy. Excellent tool! -- Okieboy1981, 2011-10-28 ### ***** "Rails made easy!" I am finding this app to be very useful. Intuitive and easy to use. -- knock on wood, 2011-02-06 [View all BalusterPro reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## BalusterPro Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Canada | Utilities | #57 | | Top Paid | Australia | Utilities | #154 | | Top Paid | Ireland | Utilities | #165 | | Top Paid | United States | Utilities | #227 | | Top Paid | Sweden | Utilities | #308 | | Top Paid | New Zealand | Utilities | #310 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Utilities | #345 | | Top Paid | Canada | Overall | #434 | ## BalusterPro Discovered Keywords -
