iSectionLite vs AccessProg2
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
iSectionLite
This engineering app calculates mechanical and structural properties for built-up section members. It supports various international steel shapes and allows input and output in both metric and imperial units.
- Calculates moment of inertia, modulus of section, radius of gyration, area, and weight
- Supports European, American, Canadian, and British steel shapes
- Input and output in mm or inch units
- Calculations in principal axes
- Light version with limitations on hot rolled library and flange dimensions

iSection: For all structural engineers, steel designers, mechanical engineers: This engineering application for the iPhone or the iPod Touch calculates the mechanical and structural properties of three-plate built up section members. That includes moment of inertia, modulus of section, radius of gyration, area and weight. The calculations are done in both principal axes. This program is particularly useful for analysis and design of indeterminate structures and for calculating actual and allowable (permissible) stresses of structural members (beams, columns, etc.). The input is top flange width, top flange thickness, bottom flange width, bottom flange thickness, web depth and web thickness. The top flange and bottom flange dimensions can vary. You can select a section from a large library of hot rolled shapes: European IPE, HEA, HEB, HEM and American W shapes Canadian W metric shapes and British universal beams and columns (UB and UC shapes). More shapes from other countries will be added in the next releases. The input can be in mm or inch units, the output of area, Ixx, Sxx, Sxt, Sxb, Iyy, Iyt, Iyb, Syy rx, ry, rt, rb, Syt, Syb, depth and neutral axis can be displayed in mm or inch units. The weight can be displayed in kg/m or Lb/ft. This is a light version with limitations: The hot rolled library contains selected American shapes only and the built up section can have only equal top and bottom flanges. For the full version see iSection in the App Store. See also iConcrete in the App Store which designs single and double reinforced concrete rectangular and T beams.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: iSectionLite at 50% against AccessProg2's 0%. iSectionLite also leads on price (Free vs $14.99) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). AccessProg2's advantage is rating (3.0 vs 1.8) and update cadence (every 11 months vs every 46 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
iSectionLite is free to download; AccessProg2 costs $14.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AccessProg2 holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iSectionLite has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of iSectionLite's written reviews are positive against 0% of AccessProg2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iSectionLite ships an update every 46 months, AccessProg2 every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
