Hammock Hang Calculator

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 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!

The app has been oversimplified and is actually hard to use ,please go back to the original! The original app had a nice feature of which you could use your IPhone like a protractor and watch the forces change as you rotated your iPhone

Just got the newest version of the app (had been using the app for over a year) and I think this version is more difficult to use and not user friendly. For one the angle calculator is removed. I know I can use the iPhone built in tool, but that requires flipping apps, not good. The input screen is not as intuitive in my opinion. Also in real life I know the distance, the weight, seat height but want to know how high up to attaché to trees. I do not know the angle, but know I can’t hang over 6 feet, which in longer distance between trees, in need the angle to “float” then I look at the cord tension to see if I’m still OK. This version of app does not allow that. Can I get older version back?
