Ratings and reviews

Another great app ruined with bloat, ads, and a ridiculous subscription model. I do not want articles. I do not want a store. I do NOT want an "AI Weld Assistant". I just want a quick reference for weld settings. edit: App just stays on the splash screen unless you have a good connection on launch. It does not function as an offline reference anymore.

Poorly formatted for Android otherwise I'd give it 5 stars. Charts, for instance, in vertical mode there is info off the right side and you cant scroll left & right. When I rotate the phone it goes back to the main page. If I start in horizontal mode I can't scroll down to see the rest of the menus.

I use Pocket Welder Helper exclusively in my classes. I had loaded several of the major welder manufacturers' apps. One has fonts so small that I had to enlarge them on my phone and immediately found out that the app wouldn't allow enlarging. Would love to see settings for 0.030 wire on Mig. And how about Metal Core? I can't seem to find anything online about Metal Core settings.
