### 2/5 — Sr engineer

*2014-08-26, version 1.01*

Just formulas and information. No calculations. Not very useful.

**Developer response:** Hi, We have other calculator apps. The description clearly says that this app is reference and tables. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2011-01-24, version 1.01*

Very watered down. Not at all useful. That's 99 cents I'll never get back!

**Developer response:** Hi, We have added a lot of content over the last 6 years. Please update the app and let us know what you think through the feedback option in the app. Thanks.

### 3/5 — Was expecting a bit more...

*2010-08-05, version 0*

I assume that additional information will be added later... I hope. Items that pertain to pipeline beyond piping components would be nice. When more true pipeline info is added I'll rerate to 4  or 5 stars.

Need to fix the app crash when "NPS" is selected.
