For a timber cruise, other equipment besides the angle gauge will be needed. Some like to do a systematic cruise where plots are taken at regular intervals throughout the stand. In addition to an angle gauge, a compass, and a property map, something to accurately determine diameter should. Learn what other business software users think about Forest Metrix. Some of the excel reports might scare you at first, but they can be customized to fit your needs. In a forestry software and the fact that you can use it on a device like and iPad of iPhone that. Comments: Able to keep all timber cruising services in house.
Numbers
Numbers is part of Apple's iWork suite and handles nothing but spreadsheets. It comes free with every new Mac and iOS device.

Google Drive
Google Drive encompasses the entire Google Docs service and lets you both view and edit spreadsheets right inside the app itself. If you have shared spreadsheets with others inside of Google Drive, you can view and edit those too. It's set up much like Google Drive on the web so if you use that, you'll be right at home.
If you use Google products or want access to your spreadsheets no matter what platform you're on, Google Drive is the safest bet.

GoDocs
GoDocs was made specifically for Google Docs and provides much of the same functionality as the Google Drive app. One thing I prefer about GoDocs over Google Drive app is the layout. It's also got some powerful search and filter features that Google Drive just doesn't offer.
If you're tired in Google Docs but don't particularly care for the official Google Drive app, give GoDocs a test drive.

Documents To Go
Documents To Go lets you store and edit many types of documents, including spreadsheets. The standard version lets you edit and manage spreadsheets and word documents. The premium version gives you the ability to edit powerpoint documents as well as sync and access files in iCloud, Google Drive, iCloud, Box.net, and SugarSync. The design isn't as great as several other spreadsheet apps but the functionality surpasses most.
If you want lots of functionality along with the ability to sync your files with any file storage service, Documents To Go is worth a look.

POLARIS Office 5
POLARIS Office 5 features Microsoft Office compatibility for both viewing and editing. You can also view files in both PDF and HWP format. You can link up many different kinds of cloud storage services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, and more. POLARIS also features quite a few templates and shapes to choose from when creating spreadsheets from scratch, which sets it apart from some apps such as Google Drive which may not offer as many. I also have found that cells are much easier to manipulate and work with than some of the other options.
If you create a lot of spreadsheets from your iPad and want a wide variety of templates to choose from, POLARIS Office 5 is a safe bet.

Microsoft Excel for iPad
Microsoft Excel for iPad was just recently released and is Microsoft's official version. You can open and view Excel spreadsheets for free but to create, edit, and manage them — you need an Office 365 subscription which costs $120 a year. After that, you'll get all the functionality you get from the Office 365 version of Excel.
