Comments on Ugly's Electrical References for Android
★★★★★Henry H· Aug 7, 2022
Perfect for quick reference, and it's always with you. The calculations tap is above and beyond what I thought I would get with this app. It's awesome for new electricians who want to figure out how electricity works mathematically.
★★★★★Leland Dalzell· Dec 20, 2022
Great app everything you will need to quick reference and the calculator is a lifesaver when you need the answer fast.
★★★★☆JOHNNY AYALA· Aug 19, 2022
App is great for quick references. I would give it a 5 start but in all honesty the actual book is much better. The physical book is very small fits anywhere, has much more detailed examples and much easier to locate info. I highly recommend Ugly, but you definitely need the spiral book version even if you have the phone app version.
★☆☆☆☆wayne brill (iamtheshowdown)· Nov 8, 2022
No actual code references other that updates to the current code. Waste of money if your looking for a quick reference to nec codes.
★☆☆☆☆MrFlashgordon03· Dec 15, 2022
The only bad thing is they will ask you to rate the app every time you open it. It makes the experience unbearable. I couldn't care less. I'm giving a terrible review because of this annoying feature.
★☆☆☆☆King Xerxes· Nov 8, 2023
I was under the assumption that the app would be similar to the spiral notebook with a quick reference diagram, like the notebook. The app takes more time to find a wire fill than the old-school spiral. App needs work.
