Only useful for simple cases
You can't do combined loading with this app so it is not very helpful. Your choices are point load, partial distributed load, or full distributed load. I would pay a few bucks for a version that let me combine those three.
Lifesaver in Structures class
I'm an architecture major, and this app was a lifesaver to find for my homework! Helps out tremendously when the shear/moment/deflection diagrams are needed.
Nice beginning but very limited
This is a nice concept for a handy utility program. Pretty much limited to beginning undergrad interest. A big step forward would be allowing superposition of load cases on beams with the same end conditions. Also include triangular load cases.
Very convenient
Very convenient for engineering beams without using a pc. Nice companion to iBeams Pro at the Mac App Store.
Great idea
This is a great helper tool for assessing the results of more complicated models. I would typically run these checks by hand, but this will allow more flexible "playing" with inputs.
One request, though. Please make it so units show next to the numbers on the main screen. It's key to being confident that the inputs are correct (k/ft and not k/in for instance). Then it will be a five star app!

For students or pros!
Great start, awesome app!
It needs an Overhanging Beam and maybe more materials to choose from. It would also be nice if it allows the user to design the beam with custom supports, not just the default ones. How about saving to PDF? That'll be neat.
Great jobs guys.

Ok, but needs a few tweaks....
A useful app with a few minor drawbacks:
1) Double tapping to another app (to paste results into Numbers for example) and you lose all your work when returning to iBeams as it defaults back to a blank entry calc.
2) There is no way to export your results, a email out would be great.
3) The ability to enter E values of other materials wood (gettit?) be handy too.
Otherwise a handy, quick to use app. And free too, so one cant grumble too much!

Good app
Would be better if it could support multible loads, pls change
Awesome!
Very easy to use and extremely helpful app!
Good job
Very quick and simple. Thank you!
Nice start.
Good start but needs expansion with more complex beam loadings and materials. For instance aluminum beam fixed one end variable single support with point load and distributed load. Too simple for me to use in read world applications yet, but I await new releases as this could be a good application in the future. Nice graphics.
