Love you USA 🇺🇸 but the rest of the world has moved on from imperial and my brain hurts converting from freedom units to metric. 😜🦅 ### 2/5 — Settings seem off *2025-05-13* We have a variety of Miller welder machines at my work place and the new ones come with suggested settings and various gas mixtures. The suggested app settings are nowhere near what the Millermatic 355 suggests. I believe the app needs to be updated with proper setting suggestions and have a variety of gas options. Not everyone runs 75/25. ### 3/5 — App is good but severely outdated. *2023-09-22* This app will get you by in a pinch but it would be nice to see an updated version with newer settings or something closer to look like the multimatic setup where you select process, gas, wire, etc and it gives recommended settings based on the parameters. ### 3/5 — Not enough coverage on mild steel *2023-08-08* The most common why are used for mild steel. It’s .030 but yet you hardly cover it Try going to Lowe’s Home Depot, or any place like that and buy 035 wire you won’t find it but you’ll find 030 ### 4/5 — Useful, but… *2023-06-17, version 2.2.5* A useful App, but I’m in the UK using a Dynasty 200DX; it would be nice if there was a metric/imperial units option within the App🏁👍 ### 4/5 — Pulsed Spray Arc and RMD *2023-06-15* Do you know if/when this app will be updated to include some of the newer tech option guidelines. i.e. Pulsed spray arc transfer or your new RMD? ### 3/5 — Incomplete *2021-02-13* There’s a lot of information available but common material thickness are missing. ### 2/5 — Great idea, but the tig calculator seems to be rather hot. *2021-01-04, version 2.2.0* I love this idea. However, 250A is an awful lot of heat for a 1/4in plate fillet weld. I would normally run this at around 120-140. I tried it out and it was just so much heat for this small plate. If this is user error, That’s my bad. But I don’t think I am. ### 3/5 — Missing info *2020-11-24* I just downloaded the new upgrade and under stick welding it gives the rod size and not the thickness of the piece to be welded? Tom ### 4/5 — Add Metric Conversions Please *2018-06-26* Great app, would like to have metric conversions for metal thickness to make life easier. ### 4/5 — Helpful, but... *2018-04-03* This app is helpful in a pinch, or with a new machine or setup. I travel and it’s nice to just be able to refer to the app for most changing situations that I find myself in. My only issue with it is: there’s no dual shield mig welding settings? Honestly I can’t find them anywhere, and I feel like that would be one of the more important references to be had out in the field. I just think adding it would be very beneficial. ### 3/5 — Good app *2018-02-23* I would like to see more on the inverter settings bal., freq. for the weld you pick ### 3/5 — Update *2017-12-03, version 2.1.1* Needs a Major Update ### 4/5 — Love it! *2016-01-07* I love the weld setting calculator it has helped me a lot in school. The only problem I have with it is that I would love to see a gmawp option and that's why I gave it a 4 out of 5. Other than that it's great! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waist your time *2025-01-29* This app is pointless ### 1/5 — VIDEOS *2024-11-07* There should be videos. Don’t be lazy some people are new and a video helps a lot or a pic of what it should look like. ### 1/5 — Yeah, nah *2020-05-07* So why are some measurements provided in imperial and metric and others only in imperial? I know miller is American but you are the only developed country using imperial. And the fact you have it in some options and not others is a little frustrating. Also as I move through the menus it doesn’t actually wait for me to hit the ‘next’ button to progress. As soon as I stop the up or down roll on the selector the app just assumes I’m done and off we go to the next menu. This is more than annoying especially in the mmaw menu where the selection of rods is quite long so you have to stop sliding to move your finger up/down to continue sliding but are suddenly faced with having to go back a menu because it’s decided you are ready to progress. If you were to improve the app I would say have an option to have imperial or metric measurements as an option in a settings menu and fix the ‘app deciding I’m ready to progress faster than a teen boy in his first time’ bug. ### 1/5 — To General *2019-08-26* Starts at 1/16 thick. No help for .035” wall tubing ### 1/5 — Needs lots of improvements *2018-08-01* Where to start from? ### 1/5 — Discriminates against 3/4 of the planet *2018-06-11* Great idea, but alas no consideration for the majority of the world who do NOT use fractions of inches to measure thickness... ### 1/5 — Ryan *2018-02-04* KA RAPP don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Terrible *2017-05-16* This app looks like it is for the hobbyist welder, wanted to know about FCAW SS with pulse, according to this you can't weld SS with FCAW cause there is not an option for that.. ### 1/5 — Needs a Lot *2015-09-04, version 2.1.1* I downloaded this app looking for heat input in joules and maybe some parameters. The smallest stuff being welded is 20mm with 1.2mm dual shield. Not a lot of help here. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2014-03-26, version 2.1* The icon has been stuck on "waiting" since the last update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I need more boulets! *2023-09-21* I need to weld my nuts to the table ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2021-05-16, version 2.2.0* Really awesome app with imperial and metric values. Great as a quick reference and starting point for your settings. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2020-11-03, version 2.1.1* Wether you weld all the time or now and again it’s a great app to have ### 5/5 — Great starting point *2020-04-25* This is a great app (considering it’s free) to get you in the “ballpark”. Everything else is up to you. Covers the most common materials welded. ### 5/5 — Very Useful App *2019-09-18* This is the most useful app I have found in the App Store for welding. I do a lot of stick and TIG welding. With stick welding this app gives you the correct settings to use on a particular electrode. You just select the type of metal welding to, the type of electrode and size used, then you get all kinds of information on how to weld with that rod. With TIG welding you select the type of metal welding, select gauge of metal and what type of weld. Now you get information on type polarity you need to run, tungsten to use and size, cup size, filler metal size, and amperage to use too. This app even tells you how fast you should be laying down your welds. I’d have to say this app is one you can’t live without especially if you are new to welding. This app will help any new welder with setup and will help you with needed information on how to weld. I give this app two thumbs up without any doubts. Try it you will love it. ### 5/5 — Best Reference Please keep updated *2018-12-03* By Far the best reference - I buy Miller welding products in part because of their customer care and follow up and great educational and reference apps. This is more important in this new electronic age. Grow with it or get out. This is why Miller has a change to keep on top. Dear Miller, please keep apps updated so we can keep viewing them even as reference and add little new perks like clicks to direct links to learn more. but it is important to have a app as complete as possible due to there is little mobil signal in metal buildings and “ quick” reference at work is great. I hope the app developer reads this and keeps updating and bug squashing for the new ios and other carries. As long as Miller has apps (reference and edu) like these to use your products apps and such with good quality. I then will be a loyal user and purchaser of Miller Products. I do feel the new generation will expect nothing but this stuff from the best and Miller will put the rest far behind. next suggestion interactive edu apps Happy Customer thanks also for a selling tough lasting products with great support. thanks! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2018-11-01* This app works prefect we use this in classroom all the time at UW stout. Cutting edge ### 5/5 — Wow! *2018-11-01, version 2.1.1* What a great tool!!! ### 5/5 — Handy to have *2014-10-20, version 2.1.1* I find this app easy to use and easy to understand, I use this in my welding course as I can get the right setting but with this app I can get the correct setting to produce perfect welds. I recommend this app to those who find it hard to get the right wire speed and voltage, but this app needs to have an Europium measurements. Hand app to have. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2014-10-20* I'm new to tig great starting point for getting things Rolling.
