Review summary

Users consistently praise the app as a solid educational tool for URD concepts, with tutorials and labs highly valued. The experience is engaging and many look forward to upcoming features such as secondary devices and meter bases. A recurring drawback is glitches with the shotgun stick that hinder interactions, though there is quick developer support cited. Overall, the app is well-regarded for learning, with opportunities for bug fixes and content expansion.

Pros

Strong educational value for apprentices/linemen and improving understanding of URD concepts.
Helpful tutorials and hands‑on labs (e.g., X-Former lab) that reinforce learning.
Engaging and enjoyable practice experience with positive overall sentiment.
Ongoing development with anticipated features like secondary devices and meter bases.

Cons

Shotgun stick control glitches causing unreliable grabbing/moving of items, disrupting simulations.

2026-02-09	Wi*****	I think this app is great for teaching or learning when new to underground power, I think it has a great opportunity to grow and expand on URD devices or systems like thumping wire, service savers and how to set up, cubicles, metering cubicles, or showing more advanced switching with cubicle switches and loops together, or even other URD terminations like t-body’s, potheads, or maybe even splices. I so think it’s a good idea for the secondary pedestal and meter base setup that’s already coming soon. Also adding troubleshooting on secondary may be an idea. Overall awesome app!

2025-10-08	I'*****	My foreman recommended this app to learn the trade a little better. It’s helped my understanding of the field a lot. I wish there was an option to turn of the “Fault Indicators” because that is something that I don’t have in my actual field of work. Overall great app, would recommend!

2025-08-22	do*****	I wish there were harder simulations. Including things like changing out three phase pads, single phase loops inside three phase loops, blown out elbows, bad bushings, and cubicles. I have found that I’ve done every quiz simulation there is. Cut cables in complicated loops that cross over each other would be a great example of a hard problem. Also if you could put the materials on the side of the transformers. It can be very hard to reach those at the bottom of the screen when using a phone with a case. Other than that this app is perfect for learning. I look forward to the update for secondaries and meter bases. I hope you include parallel services in meter bases!

2025-06-20	fa*****	Bought the app, went straight into cable isolation where “the shotgun stick wasn’t working”. Not knowing that if I were to have just went through the tutorial I would have saved a lot of time! I emailed the owner and he helped me out in seconds!!! 1 - PICK UP SHOTGUN STICK WITH ONE FINGER 2 - DRAG THE SHOTGUN STICK TO WHAT EVER YOU HAVE TO PICK UP AND KEEP YOUR FINGER ON THE SCREEN 3 - USE ANOTHER FINGER TO PICK UP THE ITEM

2025-04-03	K1*****	Even with the bug in this game, the info/tutorial is a must for apprentices/lineman. Just as the X-Former lab, these apps are very well put for their lessons.

2025-02-08	Po*****	I love how the game was built as I saw the first game came out and waited as long as I did. There are something’s that can be fixed. Not saying there are issues with little things. I really love this game and recommend it to people.

2025-02-03	Wi*****	Same as the other reviews. I watched the tutorial on how to use the app, when I moved the shotgun stick to the feed thru and clicked it. The shotgun won’t attach or move the feed thru .
