### 1/5 — Question

*2019-12-18*

Did you get copyright permission from NFPA?
There is no proper disclosure

**Developer response:** Yes

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2019-12-14*

It is not worth!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy!

*2018-09-17*

I’ve bought this app twice now! They don’t update the app to keep with current version of iOS on iPhone, it was handy while it worked but it always ends up obsolete

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money, run away.

*2018-02-28*

Don’t buy it’s bs.

### 2/5 — Waste of money

*2018-08-07*

I do like the easy navigation of the app but there is so little information that it’s practically useless. It only has six categories to choose from. It will give you full load amps of a motor but not locked rotor amps‘s. Was hoping for something closer to the Sparky app that no longer work with IOS.

### 3/5 — Not complete.

*2017-10-25*

This is a semi- informative app. Conduit fill does not include flex or liquid tight. This is no UGLIES.

### 4/5 — Excellent but please update

*2026-08-13*

I love this app. I use it all the time. I use every feature and dont want any other features. My only complaint is that, although I cant remember any code updates that affect any part of it, I always second guess because its 10 years old. Well now that I think about it, a voltage drop and box fill calculator would be handy. But over all its a lean mean compliance machine.

### 4/5 — Lots of potential

*2018-06-22*

This dude has the right idea. I love the style and quick flip reference approach to this data. With further development I could see this app being a huge hit, even at an increased price.

Definitely needs more development… I.e. Box Fill, volume allowances for conductor sizes, conductor properties, basically a more robust quick reference from information that can be easily gleaned out of the NEC. Keep up the good work

### 5/5 — Accurate and easy to use.

*2019-05-16*

This is an excellent app. I highly recommend this app. Easy to use. Lots of information. Quick to use. Follows the NEC. Accurate!

I wish they had an app easy to use for transformers that showed breaker and fuse sizes, amperage etc.
