Review summary

Overall, reviews indicate Master Bend Gold is seen as a useful concept for conduit bending but is hampered by usability and feature gaps. Many users describe the UI as overly complex and time-consuming, with inputting measurements and offsets being tedious. Several reviewers note missing essential measurement methods (distance/offset calculations) and some report instability or inability to change dimensions. A minority praise its teaching value and describe it as more than a calculator, suitable for apprentices, but the general sentiment calls for usability and feature improvements.

Pros

Provides guidance beyond a calculator, acting as a complete bending guide.
Helps explain bending concepts to apprentices.
Some users find it easy to use with step-by-step instructions.

Cons

Too complicated and confusing UI; navigation is slow and difficult.
Measurement input is tedious; adjusting with increments is annoying.
Lacks essential measurement methods like offset/distance measurement; users request these features.
Some reports of instability or the app not working or unable to change dimensions.

2020-09-06	Fx*****	This is a very good App, but I would like it to include the method of measuring the distance between two fixed points, so that I can measure, thread and finally bend, which is the way masters bend conduit.Thanks
