electrical apps

[me1]

Has anybody downloaded the electrical calculation apps for smart phones? They seem to be a lot of them.
If so, do you think that they are reliable?
Or which would you recommend?

I use Realcalc (scientific calculator app) mostly. It's a good simple and reliable app that has the functions you need without being too overdesigned.

For cable calc apps I have the Draka cable calc app. It's quite comprehensive and includes most common derating factors. It's good for on site reckonings, but I would never use it for a final calculation.
