Which throws the saddle way off. I also tried it with a 3/8 wall in same pipe and took measurements first and saw that its off too. ### 1/5 — Pipe calculator *2012-09-17* What a rip off, I don't recommend this useless app that gets your money for nothing in return. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can't set paper size to A4. Error emailing calculations. *2024-07-29* Can't set page size to A4. To be fair this is noted in help but is a basic requirement if the purpose of the program is print templates. Error when attempting to email calculations. No response or support from developer. As far as I can tell emailing calculations is the only way to print templates. Not being able to print templates makes the program useless ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-05-14* Garbage ### 1/5 — $5 for what? *2022-01-27* I down loaded the app, opened it up and it’s stuck in the 45 degree branch saddle. That’s it. That’s all it will do. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Confirmation des avis négatifs *2019-06-22* Ne donne pas de développé de traçage ou ne fonctionne pas ### 1/5 — je confirme arnaque *2019-01-14* ne pas acheter les développés ne sont pas à l’échelle pour impression ### 1/5 — Poor *2017-07-27* Very weak calculator. Does not give total template length or distance between each degree lines (delta) very poor instructions. Im a pipefitter and this was a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Arnaque !!! *2017-02-18* Ne pas acheter Je suis Tuyauteur et je viens de me faire avoir avec cette appli bidon !!! ### 1/5 — Pipe Saddle *2015-11-22* How does this work when you want to make a 90* saddle template ### 1/5 — Waste if money *2013-10-25* I wasted money on an app I thought could do more than just branches. If you can't work out branches in a couple of minutes, you shouldn't do the job. ### 1/5 — H *2013-07-03* Absolutely rubbish app,advert doesn't explain what they offer properly...waste of money!gave it 1 star because not allowed to give less ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — WBR *2022-03-24* This is a great app by a very good developer. I have found it indispensable in my work. Excellent! I have no affiliation to the developer neither socially nor financially. ### 5/5 — Great job. *2019-03-12* Easy to use. Bare bones and super functional. Use it daily ### 5/5 — Great product *2018-07-16* I took some time to figure out how to print the templates. The saddles are dead on if the correct measurements are made. ### 5/5 — Worth The Money *2017-01-20* Beats paying $75 for saddle templates (8") at the local welding shop. Print out cut, tape & laminate and you're set. ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2014-02-27* I looked all over the place for a saddle template for 1-1/4" tubing. When I saw this app I was skeptical about spending the $ but I'm glad I did! I put in my dimensions and printed it right from my iphone. This is a real time saver! ### 5/5 — It works!! *2012-05-15* I happened to come across a guy working in our shop fitting up a 2" on 4" at a 30 degree angle. He had laid it out the long time consuming way. Then I saw this app and tried it out. The points were right on. We have more testing to do to prove this app really works, but if it does, this will be a real time saver. ### 4/5 — Works fine *2013-01-26* Whilst a bit odd to email a template to oneself it allows me to print direct from my phone using HP printer software which is a bonus. I have been using this to create mitres on small tubes of 1 to 1 1/8th inches for bicycle framebuilding. Whilst not an exact match it is close enough for hand finishing. A good replacement for the old freeware tube mitre program which only runs on early windows software. When using for such small tubes I was unable to detect any difference in the mitre templates when created with different levels of decimal accuracy. ### 2/5 — Saddle *2020-01-12* Can’t get it to email anymore, use to work fine. Can’t get any support.. ### 2/5 — Au vs USA Paper *2018-12-07* I can’t make this work on Australian size paper. Tried to adjust but no luck. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
