3.8 out of 5
v. 6.4.0 crashes

It crashes on iOS12.1.4, iPhone 8 Plus.

Missing common refrigerants

Why do all of the new versions on iPad and iPhone lack R404A and R22? Two of the most common refrigerants around. Otherwise it would be a five star product.

New release no longer opens

Since the recent release, when I open RefTools , it immediately shuts off. No longer usable. Is it because it now requires most recent iOS? I have 15.6.1 on iPhone 8.

Stuck on R134a

Might need an update for current iOS. I can’t change refrigerant from R134a.

Last update removed slider for ammonia

I used your app a lot for the ammonia R-717 slider, but now I can not find it anymore. Did you remove it?

Disappears

When I tap on RefTools , Ref Tools app flashes up and disappears all within about a second. It works on my iPad but not on my iPhone. It is a nice app but I wish it would work on my iPhone.

Annoying

Will not save on my phone Home Screen have to open RefTools Store ever time I want you use it

Critical power and cooling

Last update removed r22, 410a, and 407c. Is it hiding somewhere? It was a 5 star app until that.

Limitations

Application is useful and easy to use! However, the scale did not go low enough for what I needed. Was trying to see R-123 less than 40F, and the scale did not go into a deep enough vacuum.

Vacuum

Works great, except it doesn't go into a vacuum on the scale which is a problem for me.

HVAC student

Works good for a quick p/t chart. A setting for high altitude (5000+ft) would be nice though.

App won’t work

App won’t open on iPhone. It used to work good and suddenly every time I try to open it, it crashes. Please fix it!!

Best one I’ve found

Although I would like to see R-11 in the next update. Also R-123 only goes down to 40 degrees.

Good app.

It's quick to use and easy to read.
*current update deleted all favorites: delete app from phone and re-download(or get off of cloud). This fixes it.

Incorrect PT Charting for r134a

I’ve been using RefTools for a long time and really like it never had any issues until now. I was looking up the saturation temperature for an r134a wine unit which had a 21° suction pressure and RefTools says it is -0.34°, which is incorrect.
Can you fix this please?

FIXED missing R's after update

Remove & reinstall from phone fixed missing refrigerants (thanks for fast reply from support). Excellent program - has everything needed for field work. Minor issue: scrolling R's a little sluggish on selection list.

Amazing App

I just learned so many things by downloading it and taking a look at RefTools , unfortunately there is not alot of residential AC and it would be so helpful if there was more information about that too, like the troubleshooter but converted for Residential & Commercial. Overall is a great idea for an App like this that’s why 5 Stars

I can no longer open this app

I can no longer open RefTools. I do not know what is wrong but RefTools will not open. Help.

KISS

Love the keep it simple layout. Clean, simple, clear.

Best PT chart app!

Best PT chart app available for iPhone and believe me I’ve tried them all. Easily slide through P&R and change between dew and bubble at the flip of a switch. Lots of refrigerants
