The duct database program is a nice start to what could be an incredibly powerful tool Compared to the full cost of getting the fitting database on a CD from ASHRAE this is a steal There are some occasional crash issues I m guessing there needs to be some additional error catching for when you are modifying parameters that may be out of bounds There are three problems I have with this program at this point that need to be addressed before I can give the program a full 5 stars I can see this app being useful in a field setting when analyzing existing conditions Coming from an engineering and design standpoint however there are several improvements that need to be made First it is a little difficult to navigate through the different fittings The search feature is nice What would be great is if you could browse through the different fittings and when tapping on a fitting you can see the diagram of the fitting As it is it is difficult to tell what the fitting is exactly Second as it is all fittings are present in each project This should be changed so that you pick a fitting and insert it into your project This way it is easy to navigate through the fittings you have modified for the particular project you are working on The app should also allow multiple instances of each fitting in each project That way you can check multiple instances of fittings when doing design work Third adjusting values utilizing the sliders on the iPad at least is incredibly sensitive I have to touch the sliders perfectly to make them work Otherwise the screen wants to slide over to the diagram panel Some other thoughts and suggestions Provide for setting project level airflow and duct dimensions Each fitting added to the project would then default to these settings and then can be altered as needed Show a project summary table listing fittings with velocities Pv Co and pressure loss values Add straight ductwork calculation easy enough equations are all in the handbook Add a button to swap the height and width values             Good but not great @louisvb

This expensive app is a great idea that was executed horribly The program crashes often on certain fittings so much so that I don t use it anymore     Engineer Ardikhla

This is a very useful app with lots of coefficient data for almost all of the ASHRAE fittings 230 I noticed that a couple are missing but I did talk w Carmel and they are releasing an update in January 2012 that will include all the remaining fittings including the ED5 s and more I love that I can email the fitting data with picture Very handy Look forward to the newest update soon                     Useful app with lots of data AirConReseller1001

This app would be worth the money if they would follow through and add more fittings     Need to add fittings Mech_engr1969

Still waiting to see these monthly updates with the rest of the missing fittings         No updates gmustang

The developers of this app indicated they would be issuing updates monthly adding additional fittings There hasn t been an update since March I bought this app in part because of that stated commitment The app itself works well enough It is just missing a lot of fittings which makes its limited in a manner that basically makes it useless to me When they actually deliver on what they committed to do I will upgrade my review         Need to deliver on promise JETTX

I ve been using the DFDB desktop app for years and it s been a great tool Now this DFDB mobile app allows me to do quick fitting pressure loss calcs out in the field and then email the results back to the office for further analysis It s amazing that the entire database of 200 or so fittings is in this little app Great job                     Great app Mechengineer1000

This is a super powerful app to use out in the field to quickly calculate fitting pressure losses I like the fact that I can email the outputs back to my office too The search function is also really useful so I don t have to drill down to find the fitting I want                     Very useful out in the field LZ2124
