### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2020-07-02*

This app tells you that every U.N./NA number you type in has a hazard class of 3. 
I guess the app is interesting to some people but not useful to anyone who actually could use it.

### 5/5 — Top notch ADR tool

*2020-06-28*

So easy to use and great for checking out what’s in tank.

### 4/5 — Fantastic!

*2016-02-07*

Very easy and user friendly! Makes a great science project/conversation topic for adults and kids on a road trip. Much more intellectually stimulating than them playing a video game! Thank you!
