Couldn’t there be a way to swap to just say 150k ohms? It is a nice app, otherwise. ### 4/5 — What does it need Bluetooth access for? *2021-10-05* Good little app that does exactly what you need it to - visually decoding/encoding the values and color bands of resistors. In that aspect, it’s flawless. Five+ years later, though, and I still can’t figure out why every so often it asks me to grant Bluetooth access permission 🤔 ### 4/5 — Great - But Needs Precision Option *2020-04-16* Extremely helpful for standard resistors with four color bands. Would be nice to have a 5 band option. I would pay if the app allowed the camera to ID the colors, if fast and reliable. ### 2/5 — Why does it want access to Bluetooth? *2019-10-26* After upgrading my phone I found that this app is wanting to access my Bluetooth connection. Why? No good reason lots of bad ones in terms of privacy but maybe I shouldn’t be surprised with it being a free app. The user is the product being sold. ### 4/5 — Excelente APP *2019-07-03, version 1.2* Só não dei 5 estrelas por causa da propaganda na parte inferior do APP. Poderia ter uma taxa mesmo que simbólica que a retirasse. ### 2/5 — Are you for real? *2017-10-07* Are you kidding me? Fix your colours. There's no excuse for that. ### 3/5 — I love this app *2017-07-22* This app is really handy for Practical Electronics at school this year. ### 3/5 — Colour problem *2017-04-26, version 1.2* Your green colour look so poor can you make it more brighter please ### 4/5 — Nice! *2016-01-19* Very nice free app. Only downside is the ads, but they aren't obtrusive. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It says it supports 5 bands but can only access 4. *2022-12-21* There is no settings button, gear, preferences, etc., that I can find. Only shows 4 bands. Not sure how to change to 5 bands. ### 1/5 — Travou a conexão com a internet *2022-05-24, version 1.2* Instalei no iPhone XR e travou a navegação na internet. O aparelho conectava tanto na rede qto no Wi-Fi, porém não navegava. Até descobrir, resetei, paguei para uma loja destravar e voltou a travar qdo reinstalei. Foi qdo descobri que era esse App o causador da lambança. ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2021-10-13, version 1.2* Not good at all mate fix it scammer Scam Scam Money grabber ### 1/5 — Crashes *2020-11-20, version 1.2* Crashes on latest ios ### 1/5 — Impossible to disable ads *2018-05-31* I’m happy to pay. I’m not happy to have an ever-flickering strip of ads in my face while I work. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2018-04-18* Can’t input value to get colour bands ### 1/5 — Sneaking Ads and now can not delete app. *2016-01-10* Downloaded this app, and they updated with advertising, now I have been unable to delete it. Just sits there saying in loading....... ### 1/5 — "Optimized... For advertising" *2015-12-04* Update touting optimizations for new os/devices sneaks in ads as the only new feature I noticed. Goodbye app, time to find a new resistor calculator. ### 2/5 — Bom *2023-01-27, version 2.0* A única coisa é uma cor que está errada que é a rosa. Não é rosa e sim tem que ser a cor violeta e com isso eu classifico como bom. ### 2/5 — Bluetooth functionality?!? *2020-12-14, version 1.2* Why on earth would this app want me to enable Bluetooth so it knows when I’m nearby, so it claims!?! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-10-04* Would love to see it automatically calculate the 5 band when you switch from the 4 band. This is great for my 9 year old to learn electronics. There is a bug with larger font sizes on my phone, it cuts off some of the text for the 2 rows (2.7K / Band 1 Band 2 etc). ### 5/5 — sr7 *2021-12-17, version 1.2* Siuuu ### 5/5 — Give me an option to send you money! *2021-08-14* This is handy. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Muito bom ! *2020-05-16, version 1.2* Compre o que promete, ajuda quando esquece os valores e já faz as contas na hora, gostei. ### 5/5 — Genial *2019-03-31, version 1.2* Es una cosa que terminas aprendiendo con el tiempo pero va genial tenerlo como apoyo para cualquier duda ### 5/5 — Wow, just perfect *2018-06-26* Simple is as simple does, this app translates the resistor color codes to numeric form on one easy-to-use page; I love it. Caution: you really need a reliable multimeter to verify that the resistor you have actually measures correctly, as it may have been overheated or otherwise incorrect. ### 5/5 — Awesome, I love it! *2016-04-11* Very easy to use and simple. I recommend it to anyone into electronics! ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2016-02-09, version 1.1* Pra medir resistores é o melhor aplicativo. Nada a reclamar. ### 5/5 — Great! *2015-12-02, version 1.0* Excelent! ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2015-03-25, version 1.0* Recomendo! :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
