### 1/5 — Not practical

*2026-03-02*

The app is not practical for work. I ended doing the math myself because navigating through the app took so long.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2025-08-23*

The app is overly complicated. I have used free ones that are easier to understand

### 1/5 — Master bender gold

*2022-07-11*

Terrible app for bending conduit!!
Been an electrician for 28 years and have never tried to use an app this confusing!!
Don’t waste your money!!!

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2021-11-01*

This app is not worth $9-10 for the gold version USLESS 
Is a lot easier to use pen and paper to do the calculations for conduit bending

### 1/5 — No recomendado

*2020-02-03*

No tiene nada, muy confuso

### 1/5 — Craig

*2019-06-25*

Why can’t this app just give me a basic off set. With out distance to off set and with.

### 1/5 — Master bend is not user friendly.

*2019-04-05*

I tried to enter a simple 1 1/4 offset and did nothing but frustrate me.  I bought Conduit  Bend app.  Much better than Master Bend.This review is by a pipe bender with 29 years experience.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you had trouble with Master Bender Gold. If you contact me directly (there is a Contact Us link in the app), I'll be happy to help you.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2018-07-05*

This app doesn’t work at all. It doesn’t allow you to change any dimensions...

**Developer response:** You can change dimensions in multiple different ways: use the slider, tap on +/-, and tap on the name of the field you want to edit for a pop-up of possible values.

### 2/5 — Kind of out date

*2023-12-02*

When inputing measurements you have to side up or down for quick access. If not you have to keep on pushing the + button to add by 1/16 inch which is annoying

### 5/5 — Foreman

*2024-05-17*

### 5/5 — Great app!!

Easy to use and great step by step instructions!!

### 5/5 — Suggestion.

*2020-09-06*

This is a very good App, but I would like it to include the method of measuring the distance between two fixed points, so that I can measure, thread and finally bend, which is the way masters bend conduit.Thanks

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-04-08*

Many of my friends have this app!
Not just a calculator but a complete bending guide.
