Is there an additional subscription for the greyed out benders? ### 4/5 — Great app, but needs more for industrial *2021-07-19* I love the app, I use it a lot for offsets in more uncommon degree’s but I’d like to be able to have calculations for RIGID conduit as well. For EMT users in residential and commercial this app is perfect, but for us industrial guys it’s a bit lacking ### 5/5 — Ppjr *2019-09-29* Got me out of a jam ! This app worked great for me once I figured out how to use. Thank goodness I found this app. ### 5/5 — BEST APP FOR PIPE BENDING *2019-06-24* Very useful, I have had many others in the trade download this app. If you want to make perfect bends every time, this is the app that teaches you how! GET IT!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-05-22* If you know the principals of bending pipe and just need an app to do your calculations this is the app for you when it comes to offsets and 90s we all know how to bend I really use this app for the saddles and it’s on point every time and shows you which way your Bender should be facing. This will help apprentices out a lot and I definitely feel like it was worth the 5$ you will get compliments from the boss no doubt. My only negative feedback would Would be nice to get more of a detailed description and you should be able to choose your Bender every time. I’m not sure how it tells weather your using 1/2 or 3/4. ### 5/5 — Excellent Tool *2019-05-19* Awesome tool for setting up consecutive bends and rolls. Simply input measurements and the app will tell you exactly where to mark and how to bend. ### 5/5 — Best so far *2019-01-02* This is probably one of the easiest most versatile bending apps I’ve purchased. Sometimes no matter how long you’ve been bending it’s fun to try something different! ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-01-03* This is by far the best bending app I have ever used. Great product! ### 5/5 — Most helpful *2018-01-01* Great app. It makes those difficult bends much easier. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-09-20* Being a new installer conduit seemed pretty intimidating specially for the complexity of our projects but this app makes it easy to achieve the desired results my beds looks better than those of seasoned professionals ( even my boss and customer have praised my work) ### 5/5 — The best!!! *2017-05-17, version 5.0* This is the best bender app out there. Period. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-02-17* Been bending pipes for over 20 years , I learned the hard way , wish I had this , it's great for beginners to experts , I use it usually for the segment bends ( great tool ) and the digital level PRICELESS , a must have app on your smart phone ### 5/5 — Greatness *2017-01-23* This app is very useful. It make bending conduit very easy. I would like it if the shrink of the conduit was also given ### 5/5 — Great pipe bending app !!! *2016-12-12, version 5.0* Very user friendly!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Isn’t for rigid *2025-01-17, version 5.3* Do not get this app it’s only for emt ### 1/5 — Had this forever *2022-04-17, version 5.3* Now junk where did the step by step go to. Don’t buy ### 1/5 — Purchased app but do not have an icon *2021-03-30, version 5.3* I purchased this app and it seemed great- but I do not have an icon in my apps. I have to go to the App Store and search it... and i can’t contact anyone for help. ### 1/5 — No good *2020-02-09* Waste of money. I’m very disappointed in this product. ### 1/5 — Not working on Apple Watch *2016-02-13, version 5.0* Just crashes needs work ### 1/5 — New update bad want last version back😕 *2015-06-18, version 4.0* Too complicated I can figure centers out my self. I just like the simplicity of last version. I can figure everything thing out myself just easy to plug in numbers . Use to save time, now to time consuming. Don't need to have all the benders or conduit sizes. Cause every bender is different. I want last version back, if I can? I'll probably won't use app anymore, except for level. Go back to old calculator ways. Or provide fix to do both ways. Make an option to choose your preferred style to bend. Thanks, for great app. Just dislike new version. ### 1/5 — Update ruined this formerly very useful app *2015-06-11, version 4.0* I'm a union electrician working in New York. For years I've installed complex conduit systems in commercial buildings and used this app often for quick calculations . With the new update its just more time consuming and tedious. When installing table bent offsets of different depths I would use it to find the angle adjustment needed to match bend spacing . On the old version it was easy to instantly see the bend spacing and angle change without changing pages . Overall I'm very disappointed with the update ### 1/5 — Pipe fitter *2012-09-18* Could be useful as a tool for bending tubing if I know the bend radius and it can be changed ### 2/5 — Help *2019-06-26, version 5.3* I downloaded app to figure kicks it’s available on android version why not on my I phone??? Help ### 2/5 — Bugs *2019-06-13, version 5.3* Doesn't work with the watch well. We need to be able to add the side of conduit and bender option. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — i bend rules ! *2026-01-14* I’ve been using this app for about 10 years!

Great app, many features. Use it often and it’s well worth downloading. ⚡️⚡️ ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2024-05-22* If you know how to use it , it is great! Saves a lot of time from getting the pipefitters hand book is you just need a quick measurement! Been using for years. From power plants to space center! ### 5/5 — App *2023-03-02* Very good I always use it when I’m using 45* comes in very handy ### 5/5 — Great app use it all the time *2022-10-03* Love this app, I can bend pipe without it but iv resorted to using this for a lot of more precise and complicated bends. Show all my apprentices it as well. ### 5/5 — Conduit bender *2020-11-16* Very useful for me. Everything clear and easy to navigate. I do not bend conduits often, but when I do the app. comes handy. Use it for about five years and there is nothing better in the app. store yet. Love it. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2020-07-30* Downloaded this app because I needed to do a four point saddle. I’m a journeyman but was never taught how to bend pipe properly. First try with the app I big dicked a 4 point saddle with an offset ending with a box offset. Turned out great. ### 5/5 — Easy and fast to use. *2020-07-09* Great app I use it all the time and it is very quick and accurate and well worth the money. ### 5/5 — 2 Thumbs Up! *2019-11-11* I’ve used this app for many years and more times than I can count. Maker is constantly making improvements & updates. Many of my working buddies have shown me other bending apps but none of them have done anything this one doesn’t already do. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
