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.
Not enough

Done
Can you please update the app to work with iOS 12
Response from developer
it works with iOS26 now.
Great app

Thank you for the 5 stars!!!
Nothing is preloaded...
Only a Ideal half inch bender comes preloaded.
Most manufactures of hand benders provide the centerline radius. Most clock benders have the radius printed on the shoe. I know every bender is slightly different but at least preload some basic values. Given the centerline radius and size of pipe I can calculate the gain myself. The take up is usually printed right on the bender.
Great app!
Very accurate once all bender info is submitted. Better than many other apps which use just one generic formula for all conduit sizes...

If you know you know!!! Thank you for the 5 stars!!!

It wasn't great ... yet. I dusted the cobwebs off the old laptop and I'm working hard to change your opinion.

I learned to not put future updates in any of the descriptions, because life happens and you never know when or if you'll get to those future updates. Life happened. And now I'm carving out some time to redo the app, to get it closer to the vision I have for it. Than you for your purchase and for providing feedback!!!
Most precise I have tryed.

Gracias!!!
Great tool
Response from developer
I am also an electrician, and I also find it very useful, it's not perfect yet but I'm still working on it. Thank you so much for the 5 stars!
Great App
Response from developer
Great, you are my target user!!! Thank you for the 5 stars!!!
Works!
Response from developer
Thank you !!! If its been 14 years since you bent pipe, you should give it a try again.
Not bad for what it is
I love the fact that this app let's you choose the orientation of the bender and the reference marks change for you. I love that you can configure several benders. I wish you could actually take a photo of the bender to use instead of just selecting the stock photos.
Response from developer
I've wrestled with adding stubs, and even the most current version does not include stubs. It is partially a time issue on my end. But I figured I'd add the more complicated bends, and leave the easy ones out to start off with the new update, but I'll strongly consider adding them. Never say never.
