### 1/5 — Whaaaaaat!!!!!!?????

*2015-10-24, version 3.3.1*

### 1/5 — What have you done?!?!?!?

*2013-05-12, version 3.0*

This APP used to be my favorite app ever, now is not friendly, crashes and the pdf printouts are not legible... Please bring back the previous version Please!!!...

### 1/5 — YOU NEED PEST CONTROL!!!

*2013-03-05, version 2.3*

BUGS BUGS BUGS!! And I don't mean Bugs Bunny...

Unable to input loads and units do not match the settings...

You guys have come this far with what appears to have the potential to be a GREAT APP... You've got our money, now how about give us what we paid for!!!

### 1/5 — Crashes all the time

*2012-05-07, version 1.3.1*

Keeps crashing every time I try to apply a load

### 1/5 — Crash

### 1/5 — Crase all the time!

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2011-12-17, version 1.2.1*

Keeps crashing very disappointed feel like I waisted my money found free ap that works great

### 3/5 — Will not eamil from IPad Pro

*2016-11-05, version 3.5*

On the large Ipad Pro the email function is not working, Please fix

### 3/5 — Great tool

*2013-05-31, version 3.1*

This is a great tool, it does crash every now an then but delivers results. It would be great it it used standard steel sections as input and/or suggest a standard steel section based of minimum deformation required.

### 3/5 — Don't update

*2013-05-11, version 3.0*

Sawadi Khub, This used to be a great app, the UI changes are appalling and crashes more often. I wish I could go back to previous version. I don't know if I can use previous UI because it crashes every time I hit settings. It's still the best beam app on the iStore, I just don't understand the unnecessary change. Also, a shape database akin to the truss HD would be awesome.

### 5/5 — A-beam

*2017-08-03, version 4.1*

Elegant and simple.

### 4/5 — Deflection calc is way off

*2018-04-07, version 4.4*

Change to 4 stars (from 1 star). The calcs appear to be correct, but the label for Elastic Modulus on the Span pages can be incorrect.  That label doesn’t change when you change the units on the properties page (unless you stop and restart the app).  The units used are what you set on properties page, NOT necessarily what shows on the Span pages. 

I have a 202 inch long beam subject to moderate forces. The calculated deflection is over 400 inches!  Earlier versions worked and gave a reasonable 0.54 inch deflection.
