Hyper sensitive and difficult to designate lengths for boom lengths/jib lengths and angles of jib.
App should have drop down selector for specific crane models which sets parameters for only appropriate lengths/jib combinations.

Would be a cool feature for quick reference, but the app falls short and doesn’t hit the mark.

Useless

This app is literally useless, the crane cannot be moved nor can the boom length be adjusted. I can only get the height and width of the building to move. You’d think a company with the resources and pockets as deep as manitowoc could afford to release a working app. I’ll stick to the 40 year old “pick-a-crane” chart, hasn’t failed me yet.

Close!

Same as the other review, too sensitive next to building. Don’t restart position of crane when I hit the building. We need to be about to tell the app what boom length we have what angle what jib length and angle and parameters of the target. Then allowing us to move the crane to see if we can make the pick.

Useless. Impossible to figure out

No way to move crane or adjust length or jib length. The demo video is impossible to follow on a phone screen without a magnifying glass. Totally useless on an iPhone 8 anyway. It says it’s compatible with my phone. You can’t change values or do anything with it

Owner

Nice try but needs a lot of work, need to be able to get crane closer to building, way too sensitive to use, changes all inputs when you adjust boom angle, need to be able to put paramiters into boxes and let it plot it out
