## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 3/5 — Not bad needs more options for wavelength and attenuation

*2012-08-08, version 1.0.2*

This application isn't bad but it would be good to be able to test or setup other wavelengths for example 1625 which is a wavelength we use at work it would also be nice to be able to adjust formula if testing more complex networks eg PON

### 4/5 — Kft/miles/etc

*2013-02-24*

Great app, but I usually shoot fibers in kilofeet & then use the app to check my loss. Would love to see kft & miles added to the options. Still worth the price, though. ;)

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2011-12-20*

This app is great overall for calculating budgets on the fly. It would be nice to be able to change from Km to feet in the set-up menu though....

### 4/5 — Worth having

*2011-11-26, version 1.0*

This a nice basic app with the appropriate formulas to calculate whether a fibre path is within spec. Now and then I'll splice a path with a fibre mismatch where I can't get a good splice loss. I use this app to check if the path as a whole is in spec despite a single splice having a high loss. Just nice to have to easily calculate when needed

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2014-01-22*

Great quick calculator for loss budgets when designing optical networks. Used daily!

### 5/5 — Works great

*2012-12-14*

Does what I need it to do. Thx. Hope your day is full of 0.0's

### 5/5 — Custom edit function is great!

*2011-12-05*

This is great for those who don't do math.

I like this app because of the "Typ" (Typical) and Custom edit functionality. Also, go advanced, by understanding your connector type limits.
