### 5/5 — Buena app

*2026-05-20, version 2.0*

Muy completa para sacarte de un apuro. Faltaría poder desplazar la carga puntual a un X del eje

### 2/5 — Muy simple

*2023-12-21, version 2.0*

no sirve para nada excepto que quieras calcular una viga con dos cargas, super simple se tarda menos resolviéndola a mano

### 3/5 — Beam sizing

*2022-05-13*

I bought this app to size steel beams. I see all the engineering data but it doesn’t show me what size beam to use with my loads and spans. Would appreciate instruction on how to find that in the app.

### 5/5 — Sugerencia en mexico estamos acostumbrados al sistema de unidades metro kilogramo segundo

*2022-03-06, version 2.0*

en mexico estamos acostumbrados al sistema de unidades metro kilogramo segundo

### 4/5 — Muy buena App

*2021-07-30, version 2.0*

*2020-04-10, version 1.0*

Muy muy simple no sirve para nada

### 1/5 — No vale la pena

*2020-04-05, version 1.0*

Es demasiado básica y demasiado simple. Parece útil para el colegio de primaria.

### 1/5 — No sirve

*2019-05-14, version 1.0*

No sirve no se puede colocar distancias de las cargas y no se puede colocar las distancias de los apoyos, tampoco se le pueden cambiar las unidades. No sirve para nada

### 1/5 — No sirve, no compren

*2016-05-09, version 1.0*

No sirve, no compren
