Why did I install this?? I have no friggin idea what this is used for besides maybe the circuit breaker in your house? Why would you need an app? I just leave mine alone until the power goes out and then just flick them all on. They must have high tech digital ones now I have no idea. I know zilch about electricity. I am lost to why I downloaded this? Maybe I fell asleep on my phone?🤷 Is it just for electricians or is there any other possible reason for shlub like me to DL this?
Reviews for Breaker Box - Panel Tool
← Back to Breaker Box - Panel ToolEverything I was looking for to organize my panel and Sub-Panel at the house. Rooms, fixtures, devices, notes, adjust panel size, amperage, gauges, and print out a legible legend via generating a PDF. with the purchase.
The other app I was using has been abandoned and no longer functions properly. I found this one and am pretty impressed so far. Very easy to use and intuitive
Wow, this app is great. Very easy to use and printout is nicely designed. I've been looking for a better way to diagram my breakers.
Excellent app, much easier than making lists and spreadsheets. Easy to use and well implemented. Well worth the small cost for the pro version.
eh, the free version is fine? if you remove the included panel and try to add it again it locks you out until you pay. and some of the confirmation dialogs for changing the panel layout seemed to do nothing.
only one panel, with no way to make the one I need? No thanks. Uninstalling.
I was surprised to find an app specifically for labeling a breaker box. This works great, very versatile. I diagram every house I wire but that's more helpful to me than the homeowner. This app lets me show breakers by room or devices connected to each breaker, so much detail and print it out. I noticed an issue and emailed Brett, he responded quickly and verified the issue. As soon as he had the update with the fix he emailed to let me know. Great communication and service! Worth the money!
Great app! I contacted them about adding more icons, and I received an email within 24 hours, asking me about my ideas. I am very satisfied with the purchase, and Brett really seems to care about improving the app.
This was a great app util I went to restore a back up when I had to reset my phone and it told me invalid file. Now I've lost a full documented panel and have to start all over again. If the developer think they can help I'd greatly appreciate it.
Have used a couple different breaker box apps and this one is by far the best most detailed and easiest. I have the pro version and have it installed on my phone and tablet, love how it stays synced between the devices. I have used it to assist in remodeling a house and now remodeling a tiny house, it's super convenient to just look up on the phone which breaker a particular fixture is on really quickly. No more having to attempt reading poorly written labels on The lid.
Great app, but a few missing features (unless I am missing something) would the ability to manually flip a breaker from Left to Right side. I have a odd-even panel, except the #1 breaker is above the odds to make room for the main breaker. Also I would like to be able to import floor plans (drawings, png even) and be able to place the fixtures where they are specifically located in that room. If these features happen, I would make this review 5 stars!!
I purchased the full version specifically to print breaker layouts. The preview looks great in the app but when it prints, the text is unreadable due to text stacked together. I reached out to the creator for assistance weeks ago and have yet to receive a reply. I ended up creating my own layout using excel. A refund would be appreciated.
Just what I was looking for! I love the way that the app allows you to add more information about exactly what items are on the breaker instead of just the room or area of the house. The free edition suits my purpose well but for the DIY enthusiast, the PRO edition is very reasonably priced as a one time purchase of $7.99. Very useful app for anyone in need of creating a legible breaker box legend and cannot read their husband's chicken scratch!
This app has brought simplicity to my breaker box life. No longer will I have to flip and search. Now that I have the lifetime premium version of this app I have finally labeled everything properly!
Needs to have a few more things added to make it complete. Needs more breaker sizes and wire sizes. Needs to have options for breaker add-ons like breaker lock, screw-on clamp, and isolated ground. Needs to have the option to add spare breakers in the panel. Would like to show the wire size (AWG), but if I want to add a breaker as a spare with the size then you have to put the wire size, spare breaker with no wire size.
It is a good app that has a lot of features. It would be nice to make it more effecient but I don't have suggestions on how to do that. One thing on fixtures and rooms though, is it possible to add an option for custom entries in both sections? Or at least give an option for more than one bedroom? Upstairs/downstairs annotations would be helpful as well. Again, super useful app for electricians and homeowners. Thank you developers.
Loved the app. My issue with it is that it does not sync across platforms ios to android or vice versa. It would be great to be able to purchase app and use across platforms with a user name and password. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Husband and wife will have separate accounts with their devices and would not be able to sync the data between.
Basically a hot mess! There is no way to duplicate a panel as needed for multiple panels with similar layouts or to plan an existing panel revision. Exporting a .csv file, renaming & importing it fails. On start up, one is asked to create a panel folder but no capability exists for creating additional folders to segregate panels. App has no ability to drag & drop or cut & paste breakers just delete & reenter; also breaker type selections are limited. Author is no help; save $9, stick with Excel!
The application's UI/UX is great. I would give it a perfect score and consider purchasing the pro version if it included a cloud storage and automatic backup feature. I previously used an app that is no longer available that allowed for manual backups, but I frequently lost all of my data when switching phones because I would forget to manually back up and transfer the saved data. An automatic backup would ensure that the file is transferred to the new device, and I can then manually restore it.
