In App Store for 7 years with only 1 review? Come on now fella

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. It appears you're using older version. Kindly update to Version 7.4, which includes the new Engineering Reference Library and Smart Auto-Fill features that significantly reduce manual data entry and save time.

### 2/5 — Greedy/ poor design

*2016-04-13*

Could not do any calculations as it offers in app purchase before I was able to see if it worked. Not well laid out either.

### 1/5 — App qui crash

*2015-12-19*

App qui crash juste apres achat de calculs a 2.99 euros...
