### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-04-28, version 4.0.1*

Paid for this and now it wants me to pay for a yearly subscription. I’d give it zero stars but it’s not an option

### 1/5 — App support

*2023-02-18, version 4.0.1*

This has been my go to app for many different rigging resources. Especially its catalog of crane charts. The app now won’t restore my previously paid advanced subscription and the email for support kicks back my emails as undeliverable

The owners of this app no longer respond. I’ve wasted $40 dollars to these crooks. 

DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!!!

### 1/5 — Not sure if it works

*2021-10-12, version 4.0.1*

I’m not going to pay for something before I know it will work for me

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-08-01, version 4.0.1*

Pay for an app that does nothing but crash.  Terrible!!!!

### 1/5 — Absolutely disgrace

*2018-04-25, version 4.0.1*

This app should be taken off the market seller is Just taking  your money absolute thief beware

### 1/5 — Can’t load app

*2018-04-05, version 4.0.1*

Try to load app and am always being told I don’t have internet connection. Now if it’s a mobile app why would I need internet? Should work with cellular service as it has in the past. Will this be fixed?

### 1/5 — Joke

*2018-01-25, version 4.0.1*

Paid once and all of a sudden they decided to change the way they charge. Needless to say wasn’t that great of app definitely not reinventing the wheel here. Just google the chart you need.

### 3/5 — Not up to date/Accurate

*2017-12-21, version 4.0.1*

I am currently in a 2016 model LR1300. The load chart on the app isn’t the same as this Crane. I have 203’ main & 164’ luffer. The main boom charts on the app are 194’ and 223’. I was also hoping you could access a little more info, cable weight, wind speeds, and such.

### 1/5 — When will app be fixed?

*2017-09-04, version 4.0.1*

App is now useless...

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2017-08-29, version 4.0.1*

Domain is suspended and app is not operating.
