VERY Hard to navigate

Among a few other minor problems is its very hard to navigate. If your searching for something specific you need to type in the exact wording. If you type in “ampacity” or “wire ampacity” it does not give you the 310.15 charts. To find that you need to type in “ampacities of insulated conductors”. Not efficient and a little frustrating.

Like I said earlier, it’s small problems, but it’s a lot of small problems.

Needs to be reformatted or something

I tried to look up “different wire sizes or types insulation” and all the letters and words on the pages are jumbled together making it unreadable. So therefore making this app pretty useless for me

Bring back the tables

I am not a fan of this enter the temperature and then the gauge to find the amps. Where do you find the resistance per foot of a copper 12 gauge wire now. Plus you only have the Aa way to magnify. Allow me to pinch my fingers and open them up. Not a fan of the app anymore.

3 stars

NO BOX FILL CALCULATOR!!!!!!

Gone down hill

App used to be great, recently I noticed all of my bookmarks are gone and the search feature doesn’t bring up anything it used to. I can not find ampacity tables or conduit fill calculator along with most other things I used this app for. Hopefully it gets fixed soon it was a great tool to have on the go.

Hard to navigate

I’m sure this app has a ton of information just like the book - but the navigation is absurdly difficult to get to anything and it takes longer than going and finding a paper copy or code book to reference! Worst app for usability I have ever used

Great product

Really makes electric work so much easier

App is fine

Wouldn’t stop asking for reviews when I was trying to quickly look stuff up. Never left a review
For an app before but they pestered me to this point.

Update pulled features 🤯

The app used to be good, then they pulled features we all used. Where did table 310.16 go?????

Newest update

This app was great till their last update now 90% of what I used it for is missing and no way to access it anymore

They deleted a lot of what you need. Not worth having anymore

They updated the app and deleted several things I used, like the wire capacity charts and several others. What is the point of having an electrical reference app that does not address amperage ratings of conductors. Don’t buy it,

Great, one suggestion.

I like this a lot. Use it often. I have a hard time sometimes seeing the smaller pages that come up (yes I wear glasses) but still think it would be beneficial to make the pages zoomable? Thank you!

this app is basically unusable

this app has so much potential but the search function is garbage and it takes to long to find the basic tables and information that i will just walk to my truck to get my ugly book. when i eventually do find what i am looking for and bookmark it for later it gets deleted when the app updates. it would be nice to just have a pdf copy of the ugly book to accompany this app so it would actually be usable.

Awesome app

Great app I use it every day at work as an estimator but what happened to the ampacity tables under conductor properties. Why isn’t this in the app anymore?

Better than a manual, safer than guessing.

This app is a must-have for anyone working with electricity. The NEC tables are clear, and the how-to videos for things like offset bending are a nice touch that the book obviously can’t provide. It’s organized, intuitive, and much harder to lose than a physical booklet.

Was good until they “updated” it

This app was just fine until they did an update. Could fine whatever I needed quick. Now it takes me for ever to navigate through the app trying to find what information I need. It has a search bar but it’s useless. Unless you type exactly how they have it worded in the program you’ll never find it. You’re better off searching the web. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Very useful and convenient companion, but still needs a few improvements.

Mainly the search function is not working at all. Other than the content of the app is great as it matches the pocketbook.

Don’t update

Update made it totally unuseable if you click on item it shows for a second and throws you out and no info is available for anything else made my purchase useless

It’s gud

Very gud

Update killed the app

I have had this app for a couple of years now, possibly longer, and used it at least 2-3 times per week. I opened it up today and now the wire ampacity chart interfaces is just GONE. They evidently updated the app sometime last week and now the whole reason I bought it no longer exists. Please Fix this issue immediately or refund me my money since you broke the tool that I use. Also get a support line or respond to the emails.
