### 5/5 — Great app, responsive developer.

*2024-02-10, version 2.1.1*

Thank you for adding iOS 15 support!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2013-07-04, version 1.2*

This app is very useful. Please update to support larger screen and maybe the ability to remove ads.

### 3/5 — Good as far as it goes

*2012-02-21, version 1.2*

Be aware that the displayed wire diameter is that of a single solid wire of the selected gauge so it is of no use for estimating the bundle diameter of a stranded wire of the same CSA which is what I needed for being able to drill a hole to be a close fit over ordinary stranded wires.  The bundle diameter of stranded wires is always larger than the solid diameter.

### 5/5 — Great app for wirework jewelry.

*2010-12-29, version 1.2*

Great app for wirework jewelry. I can use my calipers to measure and then convert to gauges. I am always losing the labels on my  wire, and have to guess at gauges for projects. This is seriously a must have since my little tool for checking gauge is frequently missing. (But I ALWAYS know where my ipad and phone are!)

### 5/5 — There is absolutely no updates.... NONE.!!!

*2010-08-05, version 0*

No effort to improve from the developer.

### 5/5 — Awg to mm qu

*2010-03-18*

It would be good if it could go mm square to AWG too
And work out what size wire you have by the number of strands times the o/d

### 5/5 — muy util

*2010-01-11, version 0*

esta aplicacion es muy pequeña pero tiene un potencial practicamente ilimitado, si eres electricista o estas relacionado de algun modo con los cables y la escala awg, esta aplicacion te sera indispensable

### 3/5 — No max amperes

*2009-09-29, version 0*

Would be fantastic if it gave you the max current load for the wire.  If one could type in the voltage and length and it gave u the max current for that chosen wire

### 4/5 — Muy buena para electricistas

*2009-01-30, version 0*

Te sirve para conocer la medida exacta de todos los tipos de cables por su calibre y su medida en mm.

### 5/5 — MCM sizes?

*2008-11-08, version 0*

Great application!  But would be better if MCM sizes were included (including DLO MCM sizes)
