Hammock Hang Calculator

The application only takes basic weight and hang angle into account with no adjustment of result if any of the other fields are changed (Hammock style, ridge line, hammock length, sit height, anchor distance etc) Cannot save your settings nor will changing any of the fields also won't adjust the necessary others to what they would be in relation to the entered value. Used basic geometric force calculation excluding all other shown force implications.

Great app to help set up your hammock for repeatable great nights of sleep. I do prefer the older app which gave you an inclinometer to calculate your angle of hang.

Simple and easily understood interface providing useful guidance in planning your hang. Love the book and the website and the app is useful to have when off grid and planning to hang. Thanks, Derek!

When this “improvement” first appeared, it seemed a backspace key was missing from the number pad used for changing default values. Maybe it was an Apple system fix, or maybe it was an App fix (though nothing is mentioned in version history); there is now a backspace key so numbers can be changed - Yaaaa! Some may prefer the older graphics that showed all the numbers at once. But there is definitely new functionality. For example, you can lock certain values like ridge line length and distance between “trees” (anchor point) or anchor point above ground. That last number is useful to lock because at home, the an hour height and distance may be fixed. You can also change the hang angle continuously rather than in one or two steps in the older version. We now have all the functionality of the earlier version, plus more. It just takes getting familiar with the new graphics.

I don’t know why you abandoned the old app. You should go back to it and charge if you have too. It was complete and worked great. Now have to have another app. to find angle.

How are app refunds processed?? The app is not what I am looking for.

Used this app when i first started hanging. Still busted it out from time to time to do a sanity check on my suspension angle. The redesign i too busy and the clinometer is gone. Why push through an update that removes one of the most useful features? Just wait until everything is ready.

This app went from being very useful to totally useless with the new update.

I liked how the old version let you see all Calc. With having to tap on them... Also where did the angle measurement go... ? The old app let you use your phone to measure the angle....

I used to absolutely love this app for checking my hang angle. With the latest update there is no longer a clinometer included in the tools (or if there is, there’s nowhere I’ve been able to find it). This makes the app utterly useless. Luckily my compass has a clinometer, but bring back the old tools! I want to be able to lock in my current hang angle and see the forces again!
