### 1/5 — Android version is gone

*2025-09-10*

As of 9/10/2025, the android app is gone and had to restore to getting a iPhone to regain access to this app.

### 1/5 — App has been a disappointment

*2024-04-08*

It stops the colors at buffer tube #72

**Developer response:** Hi BPF. Are you working with loose tube cables that have more than 72 tubes? For instance a 144th tube would theoretically be aqua in color with 11 tracer rings. Or is there a cable configuration you're trying to make work?

I'll need some information to help guide you or for me to come up with an update. I may even be able to help with a work around if we can't get it to do exactly what you need at the moment.

Thanks!
GT

edit: 
Here's a little something I'd experimented with. 

click round cable type button and select "☆12" as cable type.

select the "more" tab at the bottom. 

select "set color code"

select "tia:eia black tracer"

go back to more menu

select "app settings"

enable "pin color code to cable"

and enable "Allow 12ct Series & Block"

close app settings.

from more menu enable "12ct Series & Block"

select the "FOCC" navigation button at the bottom to get back to the color code.

you'll now have a series and index show overlaying the buffer colors from 1:1 through 12:12. This would be my most generic work around. Let me know either way if this helps.

### 4/5 — Bring back for android

*2025-07-28*

Hate using my iPad would love to have the app back for android

### 5/5 — Super Useful!

*2025-12-28*

Very handy, saves you so much time and headaches. various fiber counts Ribbon or Loose tube

### 5/5 — Good app however am I missing something?

*2021-08-12*

Great app, this is perfect. However, with the 1728 cables I’m using and sure a lot of us are, they are in buffers. 288 in each buffer, Blue-White, ribiijs are labeled 1-24. This app would be so much better if it would tell you what color buffer and what ribbon to break. Is this already in the app? If not, it would be a great addition. Thanks

**Developer response:** Yes sir, the app does that. 

Steps:
1) From the main color code screen click the round circle button at the bottom right of the screen just above the navigation tab bar. On initial app download the button will have a star inside it.

2) Scroll to the very bottom of the list that pops up and there you'll find selections labeled #1-#5. Select any one of these 5 positions.

3) Now the app will be in RILT (Ribbon in loose tube) mode. 

4) Select the "More" tab on the left side of the lower navigation bar.

5) Select "Set RILT" from inside the More menu list.

6) A "RILT Cable Builder" box will open. Enter "6" into the Super input, "24" into the Ribbon input and "12" into the Fiber input.

7) Verify the cable builder box shows 1728F and click the green ok button.

Now the position you selected in step #2 above will be set as S=6 R=24 F=12 for future use. Any of those lower 5 positions are user settable following the steps above.

Thank for your great question and support!

### 5/5 — Very well written, very helpful!!!

*2021-03-18*

If at all possible, can a future button calculate the relation between counts amongst the 3 cables counts inserted??? When splicing multiple cables and counts, it would be awesome to have a screen that shows which ribbons roll to which ribbons from cable to cable.

So far, this is a very helpful app, and very well written!!!!

**Developer response:** Thanks PhoneMan, I'm currently working on a hybrid app that does what your talking about and more. It'll work with this app and my 25 Pair CC app on both the iOS and Android platforms and is open enough (url scheme update) to work with other sources of cable counts. If you're interested in being a tester for the new app let me know. I can always use a fresh set of eyes and the feedback. Click the email address located in the FOCC app by going to the "More" tab > "About" page. Thanks again!! GT

### 5/5 — Very useful app!

*2020-08-23*

Thank you for creating this.  Gives instant answers to sometimes complicated color schemes!  I find the app very useful!

**Developer response:** Great to hear from you and thanks for your support! 👍🏼 I am very satisfied on how fluid/smooth the app turned out myself. Thanks again.
