Pros and cons of Elec Ref app for iPhone and iPad

Elec Ref app good for

Its very helpfull app for electricians and its easy to use.. Actually its very expensive.. I think the fare cost is 2.99$ .. Thanx anyway..
This app has definitely come in handy at work. Highly recommend it!
I am a maintenance tech. This has been a great app. Please use it with the NEC code book because we can all make mistakes even app developers. I always double check but it is a fantastic guide.
Very helpful app. On the go, a must have, looking forward to updates to make this my only go to app.
I am an EE and this tool is a great addition to my arsenal. Its well rounded for design as well as field work. I looked around for something like this for a while. I have no regrets spending 5 bucks on it.
Im an electrical engineering student. This app is a very helpful quick reference!! Worth every penny!

Some bad moments

This app needs to be updated to support 64 bit for the current iOS devices.
The high voltage colors for N. America are wrong on My app so I can not trust this app!
I do not like this app, its a bit confusing. I will try to play with it a little more and update the review later. So far with this app my Uglys book has to be with in a reach.
Not enough wire types. Would like to see mtw. Also wire type in deg c as an option
Was great until I got an iPhone 6. Does not work correctly now.
Need an update to fix the iPhone. Not able to remove the keyboard when entering in information.
