Please help, it’s the most used tool I have in the app!! ### 2/5 — App issue *2018-06-05, version 1.9.2* This app is great but have issue on how many wires can we fill in the conduit. It crashes everytime I press continue after selecting the conduit. It would be appreciate if this issue can be fixed. ### 4/5 — Take it easy *2015-09-24* This is a great app. Unfortunately it doesn't get along with iOS 9 yet but everyone should take it easy with the bad reviews. According to his website an updated is done and awaiting Apple to approve. A little patience my friends. ### 4/5 — Great app *2014-04-13, version 1.6.0* This app is very helpful. I would recommend it to every electrician ### 4/5 — Indispensable. *2013-06-20* Simple and intuitive for most field calcs. Have not used an Uglies Guide since I got this a year and a half ago. ### 4/5 — Would like to see single phase motor applications *2012-08-22* It's good reference but I needed to get a breaker size for a single phase motor but I couldn't use the app to figure it out. Would like to see single phase motors... ### 3/5 — Its OK, but could be so much better. *2012-06-03* It really needs 208 volt and single phase motor data to be a viable tool. ### 3/5 — IBEW *2012-03-04* Pretty useful app, so far. Havent had any problems... yet. Current IBEW member. It's similar to the Uglys book, but for your phone. ### 1/5 — Canada *2012-03-02, version 1.4.0* Don't buy if you are using this in Canada ### 4/5 — Very good so far *2012-02-25, version 1.4.0* Need to add Ground Fault ### 3/5 — Please add a switch task to conduit fill *2011-10-27, version 1.3.0* Only complaint is can't switch out of conduit fill have to close the app and reopen to switch to other tasks. ### 4/5 — Tommy59 *2011-09-04, version 1.2.10* Did not remember I payed 5bucks for this. But it's my best app for reference!!! ### 2/5 — App *2011-09-03, version 1.2.10* It's a useful app but not suitable for Canada, you would sell more if it was up to date with CEC. it's good to make money on apps just as much as it is to serve those who buy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Want refund *2023-09-12, version 2.2.3* It advertises being a conduit fill calculator for CEC but the wire types don’t match with types in the code making this useless for conduit fill as far as I can tell.. ### 1/5 — Need to update app to iOS 9 *2015-09-23, version 1.7.2* Please update this app to work with iOS9! We paid for this app - make it work!! ### 1/5 — OS9 *2015-09-20* App does not work with new operating system upgrade. Locks or freezes screen. Have deleted and reloaded several times to no avail. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-09-19, version 1.7.2* App will not open! Please fix, doesn't work with iOS 9/on iphone6 ### 1/5 — Please fix *2015-09-19* App will not open. Keeps crashing. I have gone to support page but there is no link for support. Have deleted and reinstalled but still crashes. ### 1/5 — Not worth the money! *2013-04-08* Wish I could have my money back! ### 1/5 — Not handy *2013-03-09, version 1.5.0* Do I really need a calculator for simple motor and transformer calculation? Maybe if I wasn't an electrician. Remove all the useless functions and make it simple fast and while you are at it accurate. Where is the 600V? ### 1/5 — Not metric *2013-02-28* Useless not metric ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money! *2013-01-20, version 1.5.0* Very little useful info. Waste of money! ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2012-08-21, version 1.4.0* I got this app because I thought I would be able to reduce code book referencing. Turns out this jut confuses me and I need the code book anyway. This app is worth $0.99 tops. Definitely not $7.99 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Electrician *2018-08-29* I have this app it’s totally helpful, I use it all the time. ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-09-26, version 1.8.0* Great app worth the $$ ### 5/5 — Awesome app!! *2012-03-07, version 1.4.0* I am a second year apprentice and have found this to be an awesome resource! Best electrician app by far... Paired with iBend app and your good!! ### 5/5 — Helpfull *2011-12-17* This is a great app would like to see a way to calculate Ark Flash distance for Safety. Thanks ### 5/5 — Very effective and the Author is very approachable *2011-10-27* I had problems with the back button in vs 1.3 and prior. Mentioned this in an email to the author and he very quickly responded to my message and problem. It now functions very nicely. It can only become better as he continues to increase the usefulness of this app which is already down right spiffy. ### 5/5 — Electrical Contractor *2011-09-03* Best app I have. I use it all the time. Quick, easy and correct. I would like to see wire sizing for PV installations and custom voltages instead of the preset selections. ### 5/5 — I like it *2011-05-31* If you know what your doing this app is great. It can use a few minor improvements that I'm sure will come. It helps me do some quick calculations easy, and that's what technology's all about. I have about 10 electricians that work for me, and I will recommend it to all of them with I phone's. Quicker calculating and less mistakes. means more $ in my pocket, in return More $ in the journeymans pocket. ;) worth every penny. Ps. This is the 2nd app I ever wrote a review on. I phone user since the beginning. Thanks for your hard work on the app!! Florida electrical contractor ### 5/5 — About Canada... *2010-05-06, version 0* Well. It's the first release for the Canada (V1.1.1). Not bad at all. For an application useful and for $6.00, it should be included all the Table 16, 17 (The 2008 edition), 53 AND possibly the shema 1. Big hope for the future. I will send a feedback after the future release. Dont forget to upgrade to 3.1.3 in your Iphone. It's done... version 1.2 are there. Table 16 and 17 are added. I give 5 STARS ### 5/5 — Excellent *2010-05-03, version 0* I'm an electrician and this app is very usefull. ### 5/5 — Great app *2010-04-11* Love the app, it's great in the field would love to see a cheater for low voltage/ethernet connections --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
