Ratings and reviews

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.

I like this app it's probably just as easy as it is to look at the side or inside the machine label for weld setting but sometimes my machine isn't close and my helper isn't that smart to read the panel so me yelling it to them really helps
