2023-05-17	Ka*****	Garbage. Waste of money. CSA app is very hard to navigate and using it on jobsite is hopeless. If I try to use the code book on my laptop it gives me error, exeeding number of devices. I think the first code should by firing all CSA employees. the above review was about a couple of years ago. new version, new garbage. such nonsensical expensive code books but with such poor service.

2022-11-18	Ry*****	I'm writing this review while again waiting for this terrible app to load. I guess it's typical for a government agency to be hiring mediocre tech and then over paying them to build apps for them. For the money we have to pay, it sure isn't worth it. Scroll to fast, it freezes. Try and click a link, freezes. Do better CSA. No wonder people don't respect government agencies anymore. I see from the reviews that it isn't just me.

Then it won't open and gives an error "unauthorized copy". Ended up have to go to the website. It is so ridiculous now the website is freezing up the browser and crashes it on the android phone.

2022-02-02	Jo*****	CSA C22.1:21 Canadian electrical code part 1. app freezes everytime section 12 is accessed. If you're lucky enough to get into section 12, do not close the app without leaving section 12 or the app will basically be unusable afterwards. Pretty much have to delete the app, and re download everything to get around that issue. Every. Single. Time.

2021-09-23	St*****	We need this to work. As someone who references code books regularly in the field, I don't want, I "need" to access it effectively from my phone. I always have my phone with me; I don't always have my laptop. CSA reader works great on laptop but that is not as useful to effective contractors and techs that can access almost all the info they need from their phones. I always have the best, most powerful phones and this app constantly freezes, is clunky, and frustrating at almost every turn
