If you bend offsets in electrical conduit or "pipe" as we call it, then this is the app for you. **METRIC IS NOT SUPPORTED** Calculate regular, parallel and rolled offsets in electrical conduit. Use the common 5° ,10°, 22.5°, 30°, 45 °or your custom angle.. Input offset distance in fractions - no need to convert to decimals. Calculations are displayed in fraction in "real time" as you adjust the offset distance or bend angle - no need to press a calculate button to see your results. Apple Watch companion app has been added to quickly solve offset calculations. Inclinometer / Level feature has been added to measure the bend angle as you bend. If you bend more than just offsets we encourage you to consider our other iPhone app : iBend Pipe.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pipe Fitting holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pipe Fitting has 116 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of iBend Offsets's written reviews are positive against 33% of Pipe Fitting's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iBend Offsets ships an update every 7 months, Pipe Fitting every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
