MyConcrete for Android

A free concrete reference app

MyConcrete is a free-to-use productivity app that is a great help for engineers, materials testers, and contractors in general. This solution from BASF Business Services GmbH combines the functionalities of a customized calculator, weather app, and a shopping catalog. Everything you need to know about cement and concrete and working with it in a variety of environments can be found within this app. It also comes in a user-friendly app interface.

With its capabilities, MyConcrete serves as a pocket cheat sheet, and works with other mobile tools such as Bubble level (Spirit Level).

For everything about concrete

As soon as you open MyConcrete, you are greeted with a straightforward menu that allows you to see the tools available to you. Depending on the device, you might have to wait for a few minutes for its first-time setup. After that, you can start with exploring concrete: air entrainment, setting time, slump, and finishability. Each of these aspects contains features of their own relevant to the particular application.

What makes this app stand out, however, is its wealth of interactive features. This app allows you to check the weather conditions — temperature, humidity, and wind speed — to adjust the shape of the aggregate you’re looking to fabricate. Furthermore, it offers short tutorials about the theory behind a particular feature or application. This makes it even more beginner-friendly, allowing you to grasp the concept behind that particular functionality.

There is also a built-in product catalog for the relevant concrete product you will be needing. Clicking on a product will redirect you to an external webpage. However, there’s no offline mode for it. The app requires an internet connection to run properly. From checking the weather to the Master Builders’ product catalog, you have to be online to use them.

A great professional tool

With its wide range of coverage for concrete testing and applications, MyConcrete is a great tool to always keep with you especially if it’s relevant to your line of work. From the weather conditions to the specifications of the concrete material you’re making, you can expect it here on top of beginner-friendly lectures. The only limitation is that it doesn’t work offline. Highly recommended.
