NOTICE: For best results, calibrate on a side without buttons. Once you calibrate one side, both sides will give accurate readings.
Calibrate
The square calculator can be used to determine the number of “squares” of a roof. This tells users the amount of material needed to roof, or reroof a house.
After filling in each of the values (length, width, pitch, and cut level), press “calculate” to find total squares with or without waste.

Pressing reset will remove all VISIBLE values from calculator. WARNING: Reset does not remove stored values from memory! To

Remove Ads
The “Remove Ads” button directs you to an in-app purchase. For $1.99, you will have the ability to remove all advertisement banners from your Pitch Gauge permanently.
Camera
“Camera Mode” allows users to find roof pitch from the safety of the ground. For this feature to function properly, your device must have a
rear-facing camera. To use, you must make sure the white line across the screen matches the slope (pitch) of the roof. From here, you can simply look at the reading, or press SNAP to take a picture of the pitch with the reading stamped on the actual picture (if you chose to purchase this in-
app feature).
SNAP
SNAP (Snap Pitch) is a feature that can be purchased (in-app) for $0.99. This feature can only be utilized in Camera Mode. While measuring roof pitch in Camera Mode, Snap Pitch gives users the ability to press SNAP which will take a picture of the actual pitch with the
reading stamped on it.
