User Reviews

Users praise Ugly's Electrical References for clear NEC tables, practical how-to videos, and being a handy, field-ready substitute for the physical book. However, multiple reviews highlight stability and usability issues: unreliable search, frequent crashes after updates, and video playback problems (audio-only or blank screens). Content like ampacity tables sometimes disappears or becomes hard to locate, and readability suffers due to small charts and lack of zoom. Overall the app is valuable but its reliability and usability must be improved.
Pros
  • Clear NEC tables and helpful how-to videos, with organized and intuitive navigation.
  • Very useful on the job site; a must-have reference that’s easier to carry and less likely to be misplaced than the physical book.
  • Helpful calculations and calculators (e.g., ohm’s law) that aid field work.
  • Portable digital reference that’s convenient when the book isn’t available.
  • Video content provides practical guidance beyond the tables.
Cons
  • Search function is often broken or useless, making it hard to find tables or terms.
  • App instability after updates: frequent crashes/force closes.
  • Video playback problems: videos fail to load or play only audio, or screen goes black.
  • Key content like ampacity tables disappears or becomes hard to locate after updates.
  • Readability and navigation issues: charts are small, no zoom, and the app is hard to read/poorly organized.

NO BOX FILL CALCULATOR!!!!!!

App used to be great, recently I noticed all of my bookmarks are gone and the search feature doesn’t bring up anything it used to. I can not find ampacity tables or conduit fill calculator along with most other things I used this app for. Hopefully it gets fixed soon it was a great tool to have on the go.
