I should have read what other reviewers said about these products, but no! I had to waste my money. These people don t have the slightest idea about what they are doing. Just copying some formulas from a book without regard to units or purpose.

For what it does it seems great, however I am missing lots of things. 1) most of the calculations do not indicate the units I am supposed to enter, is the length feet, inches, yards etc. 2) electrical, I would love to see all the NEC tables, for example in the conduit size calc I Ned to be able to select size and cable type from the normal list (16gage THHN) the current calc only works if I know the pursue size of each cable (they are in the tables, why not use it) now I know NEC get updated every few years so if it cannot be include then wy not a new app? I would pay for it; conduit fill, box fill, all the tables from the standard.
