Breaker Box - Panel Tool 4+

This is a great app, especially for those of us who aren’t the original owners of a home and have found that the breaker box has been labeled, well, less than accurately. I’m in the process of figuring out what the various breakers in my house actually control and labeling them appropriately and this app is a big help. Would love to see an update that allows syncing between devices. For example, I like to use my iPad to enter the information into the app but if I need to run into the garage and check a breaker it would be handy if I could just take my phone and all of the info that I had entered with my iPad would automatically be there. Also, I could use an option for 20 amp double pole breakers, as well. That would make this an absolute 5 star app.

Thanks for the feedback. I will add the 20 amp double pole option and push an update this week. As for the syncing data between devices - this will require more time. The app would require a login process in order to know which devices to sync and a change to how the data is stored locally on each device. I definitely see the benefit for people with multiple devices while also giving added benefit of a remote backup of your data. I can start building this out but I wouldn’t expect to see anything for a month or so.

Update: 1.0.6 adds the 20A double pole option and a number of other improvements.

Update: After receiving the response from the developer, I now gave it 5 stars, and the app checks all the boxes. Thanks so much for the response, and all the features this app offers. The issues below were available already I just didn’t know. Every homeowner, or anyone helping family members should buy this app!

This app is exactly what I was looking for, but I didn’t even know there was an app like this. It works great. One thing I wish could be added was adding multiple fixtures to a breaker, and adding custom room names. Other than that it’s perfect for me. Thanks for this app, and I’m looking forward to the next update!!

Good news! Both of these are possible - if you edit a breaker you can see a way to add as many fixtures as you want at the bottom of the screen. And tap on the rooms tab to see a list of rooms with a add button at the bottom to add new rooms.

Very useful to map fixtures to breakers, and well worth the money for the pro features.
Seems there may be an issue with search function - does not filter any results when searching a fixture, label, or notes.
Would also be great if the labels would also show in the fixture list - for example if you have multiple receptacles and want to be able to label them (R1, R2,..) to be able to quickly map back to the breaker.

Let me know if you are still having issues with the search feature. There was a bug that previously broke this feature but it should be corrected now.

I also think the suggestion about the fixture list has been updated to work as you are expecting - if not then please reach out to me directly through the contact info in the app. I am always looking for ways to improve the usefulness of the app.
