  • The app for the pc building beginner to enthusiast

    Love the all around, friendly features. Very easy to navigate and use. Very useful if you're ever thinking of building a new pc because it shows you compatible parts and what not

    Inly downside is the lack of parts of available. BUT, this app is new and the developer that more components are coming very very soon

    All in all, love this app!

  • Needs updating

    This app is very well organized and appears to have very good intentions. However, there is one major flaw in that it lacks its advertised large library of different components.

    They only have the most common or most expensive processors, and one thing that bothers me is the lack of different versions of similar components or just a general variety. There are so many more components than there are listed, and the developers should really add more or create a system in which people can add components themselves.

    I plan on adding a custom component feature for users if it’s not listed in the database. It should be coming within two weeks with other updates. Thanks for the feedback.
  • Fantastic Apps (if it will keep being supported)

    This is a great app, and I would especially recommend it to people just putting their foot in the water when it come to PC builds. However, I can’t give it a full rating as there just aren’t that many parts in the app, but I am sure that they will be added in the future as it is being supported. Good app overall.

  • Great, needs a few touches

    Overall the app is like an iOS version of PC Partpicker and shows a variety of parts to suit different price points. The system configurator is a great way to show a first time builder around about what they would spend on parts at different price points. The only thing is that while the part variety gives a great starting point, it might not be adequate for anyone other than a first time builder. More experienced builders or people looking for a wider selection of parts may find this off-putting. A suggestion would be to have a ‘custom part’ option or the ability to suggest parts to add to the list. Then if the list becomes too large for a first time builder to handle, have a ‘beginner’ tab that has the original list and an ‘all parts’ tab so then more experienced people can find what they want to find.

    Great suggestion! A custom part option will definitely be coming for rare or older parts. A community driven database is something I want to add in the future as well.
  • Finally!

    I’ve been wanting an app like this for a long while now. I’m so happy that someone made it. I love everything about it and will be using it a lot in the near future. I hope this gets more attention for lots more people to see and enjoy as well.

    (I came from Reddit! :D)
  • Lots of potential

    Very cool concept, easy to use layout, and it’ll store your parts lists. Parts database definitely needs to be expanded, and a manual search function would be great, but otherwise works very well. Looking forward to future updates, would love to see this app continue to grow and improve.
  • A good pc building app

    Honestly this is a great app. It has so much potential. It’s easy to use and very straight forward. The only thing is it’s database needs to be expanded to hold more parts, but that’ll probably come later.
  • Solid app, here’s some suggestions

    Works great, but I believe it can be better.
    1. I have a feeling you are already working on this, but simply a bigger database of parts.
    2. More ways to sort through the database (e.g. only m-atx cases or only NVIDIA cards)
    3. Pictures by each item
  • A work in progress

    I love the idea here, and the interface is simple. But, the parts database is really limited, and it’s crashed twice on me in the first five minutes of use. I’m sure the developer is working on adding more parts to the database, so I don’t fault him/her for that. I do have some suggestions, though.
    Adding the ability to search a list of parts instead of just sorting
    Adding the ability to sort by form-factor
    Adding the ability to add custom parts/prices

    Just a couple thoughts. I hope to see the app progress, it’s fun browsing parts and putting together dream builds

  • Here from Reddit

    I was happy when I saw this but kinda disappointed when I saw how little parts there was. Needs a lot more until I give a full rating. Needs a search option as well, but overall good just needs more parts
