Think it’s great

I think this app is great for teaching or learning when new to underground power, I think it has a great opportunity to grow and expand on URD devices or systems like thumping wire, service savers and how to set up, cubicles, metering cubicles, or showing more advanced switching with cubicle switches and loops together, or even other URD terminations like t-body’s, potheads, or maybe even splices. I so think it’s a good idea for the secondary pedestal and meter base setup that’s already coming soon. Also adding troubleshooting on secondary may be an idea. Overall awesome app!

Probably one of the most beneficial apps on my phone

I enjoy this app so much, it’s amazing to mess around with this and really challenge yourself. One thing I cannot wait for is the secondary to become available! I’d also like to ask when that’s looking to release?? I’ve been extremely excited to play it.

Really good…Really enjoyable

It’s a decent training tool and great way to spend some time. I’m a PLT and would like to see if there’s a way the dev’s could make some modifications to add another qualified worker as well as have it simulated with an individual. The additional worker would be good cause some utilities mandate that Underground is done in pairs

New Lineman

My foreman recommended this app to learn the trade a little better. It’s helped my understanding of the field a lot. I wish there was an option to turn of the “Fault Indicators” because that is something that I don’t have in my actual field of work. Overall great app, would recommend!

Gameplay

I wish there were harder simulations. Including things like changing out three phase pads, single phase loops inside three phase loops, blown out elbows, bad bushings, and cubicles. I have found that I’ve done every quiz simulation there is. Cut cables in complicated loops that cross over each other would be a great example of a hard problem. Also if you could put the materials on the side of the transformers. It can be very hard to reach those at the bottom of the screen when using a phone with a case. Other than that this app is perfect for learning. I look forward to the update for secondaries and meter bases. I hope you include parallel services in meter bases!
