Not good.

First pipe fitting app. I pay for. Looked great. Appearances are deceiving though,, the items i do need the info on. It says that they are not on the DATABASE. The ones that are available. They are also on the free apps. This was a total waste of my hard earned money.

Great for quick info to 24”

Most info u need is readily avail. Been using for years. Not everything is there but app was free and takes a bit to learn but I find highly functional even 7 years later.

Great little piping app

After a week of use while checking a job, I love the way the calculator works integrating piping components and being able to continue a dimension string from catalog to calculator back and forth. This is so handy compared to spinning the old piping wheel! The calculator itself needs some attention with the store and recall functions not working like a real calculator. Clear button also needs to clear only the last input mistake, not everything! Frustrating when making a mistake along a string of dimensions and having to start over. I recommend to pipers trusting the app will continue evolving.

June 2017 update improved the app more!

Please update app to remove background grid lines.

Great app and super helpful. After the most recent update, background grid lines are too visible. Make it hard to read dimensions and other text. Please update! This is on an iPhone 7 plus. Will give deserved 5 stars when grid lines go back to how they used to be.

beware: abandoned - not updating anymore

lacks information. Some notes have … displayed, meaning it was not adjusted to fit, so you can’t read all the data. Ex. dim includes ring joint fa…. What was that? Thumbs down.
