**** What some users are saying about BeamBuddy ****

"This is a great app for wood not steel; 32 species are included plus GLBs.PSLs,LVLs. Try sliding the green vertical line on the moment diagram!! All values can be seen. Also tap the screen twice to see the full report."

"I have been using it quite a bit and like it a lot."

"So far I love it!"

"Quite impressed." SE

"Great app and very intuitive to use."

"Nice intuitive program and the price is right!"

"This app is a neat way to help you get a idea of what the beam is going to do and what size is necessary for the job."

"Very good App. Ive found it to be useful and accurate. Well worth the price." PE

"Im a PE and this should help in the field"

"As architect in residential work and engineering my own beams, I am very pleased with this app. The free version is a steal, and I was happy to buy the paid version. An elegant and intuitive interface, instantly learnable. Would love to see steel added -- a limited selection of shapes, say under 16", would be fine for residential work. Id also like to see the allowable stresses for the selected species."

"Its a great app, use it all the time!"

"Congratulations on a beautifully done application!"

"I am very impressed with the combination of the intuitive design and what a powerful tool this is for a mobile device."

"This application would be perfect if also you could calculate concrete beams, hopefully there is an update with this function, is a very useful app" Architect
