The app used to be good, then they pulled features we all used. Where did table 310.16 go?????
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 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,
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 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.
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?
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.
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.
Mainly the search function is not working at all. Other than the content of the app is great as it matches the pocketbook.
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
Very gud
