Complete garbage don’t waste your money.

Thank you for purchase. There is a Help section that shows step by step how to add a bender. It is very easy and does not require you to waste any pipe. Before you bend a 90, measure the length of the pipe. Write it down. Bend a dead-nuts 90. Measure both legs of the 90, write those down. Now add a new bender, using the "+" button on the bender's list screen. Follow the screens, and input your measurements. As you enter the information, the app verifies that your measurements are correct, through a series of dimensional checks. If everything is good, you are allowed to save the bender and use it for your calculations.
My Goto app on EMT pipe bending
For the benefit to new users, I wish in the next release will contain a pop up message to alert all new users that a default bender library listing most popular brand and model benders will be unavailable in this app. Users must physically bend an EMT pipe in personal necessary to develop a user specific bender model/parameter for future use. Hope this helps.
Second star removed :
GUI data entry: please leave the fractional value omitted in the slider entry. In present state if we over slide we need to do up to 15 clicks to home in our target value. This may be a big deal to the developer and no fun to users.
Will be five stars when new release have fixed above issues.

Thank you for your time to write this review! Not including a library of benders was a conscious choice when I made the app. Most users will only use a handful of those benders. My Bender is centered around the idea that the most important bender is the one that you are using. Bending a 90 and taking measurements should not be an impediment to using the app. Once you bend your 90, take some measurements and save the data, you're set. Over time your library will grow as you use different benders. Secondly thank you for the suggestion of changing the behavior of the slider input, I think it was an oversight on my part when I initially wrote the app, but one that I also noticed when I used the app. The behavior is being changed to have 1/4" jumps with the slider to get you closer to the value and just a couple of taps should dial in the exact measurement you need.

iOS 26 is now the minimum version needed.
