Just bought, don't want, don't know how to get money back. :-( ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-03-26* Missing benders ### 1/5 — Utterly useless *2018-02-20* No common bender everyone uses, confusing to navigate. Worthless and just used to make the app creator money. Lick my dong. ### 1/5 — Needs more benders!!! *2016-03-07* This app would be cool if it had a user manual and more benders especially for emt. I want a refund!!!!! How do I get it back? ### 1/5 — No good *2015-11-24* Won't allow me to type my bender in the correct spot. Can't access ap without having a bender written in but won't let me write it. Frustrating! ### 1/5 — Electrician *2014-01-18* Waste of money don't buy ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2014-01-14* The only benders avalible are greenlee. And you can't do anything else without selecting a bender. But it won't let you select a bender just a blank screen! Not happy about spending 99cents for an app that doesn't work! ### 2/5 — I bought it can’t figuneed to return it for a refund. Probably good for the right user. *2020-08-10* I bought it thinking it would apply to the hand bender I use, can’t figure out how to ask to return it for a refund. Probably good for the right user. ### 3/5 — I don’t understand the marks *2023-04-29* What does a negative mark mean? Is that a measurement back from the obstruction? The app doesn’t give much instruction. ### 3/5 — Good first try *2014-09-12* This app is for RIGID conduit, "Rigidpro" OK? Needs a user manual, not intuitive at all. Clunky numerical entry system, 10" + or - then by 1/16 ths. A five takes 16 x5 presses to get there. Add 3-1/16" to first measurement where you want to start. Doesn't have 45 x 45 ninety or any other combination. Much needed app, just needs more work on it. I use it often ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unique *2017-01-25* I have had this app for two years now. Absolutely awesome! I like the way all marks are to the bench mark. No more indexing the shoe for center of 30, 22.5 etc. I like the visual representation of the conduit on the side. It helps you to see if the bends are to close or to far. You can add any bender and tweak the shoe specs to match. Just choose an equivalent Greenlee bender and add a name. I have Ideal and Ericksen hand benders set up as a 555 with EMT shoes, and an Enerpac mechanical sidewinder set up from a 555 with rigid and EMT shoes. All bends are dead on accurate. If you just want the distance between bends, use the multiplier card. Press the multiplier for the degree and it is added to the calculator. If you use it, and get to know how to use it, you will see why I think it's the best conduit bending app. ### 4/5 — Actually very good *2020-03-04* I have used this app extensively for 5 years. It works very good except for one drawback. When you calculate an offset or 4 point saddle where you need to get the rise up before the obstacle this app gives the wrong starting point for the first mark. If you use the start it gives you will hit the obstacle. I find that if I shift the starting point about 4 inches sooner and move all the marks towards the starting point the same amount I can obtain my rise before the obstacle and if it’s a saddle I come off the obstacle right away instead of going 4 inches past it before starting that bend. The data page is very helpful with gain, setback, take up and travel. All around very useful. ### 4/5 — Recomendable *2017-02-28* Muy buena app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
