ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Electrical Calculator lite holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Electrical Calculator lite has 574 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Electrical Calculator lite's written reviews are positive against 61% of CableApp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Electrical Calculator lite ships an update every 5 weeks, CableApp every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
