  • So inaccurate

    The ruler is so inaccurate, for example apple pencil 2 is 16.6cm but when i put it on the screen it shows it 12cm !
  • Small improvements needed.

    O6 Apr 2022

    I have used this numerous times and it is very handy; however, it does need improvements which I have suggested below:

    1. When in English scale, there should be an option to read out fractional measurements as currently shown OR in DECIMAL format with the ruler etchings changed accordingly. Example: 0.22 in.

    2. The scale size adjustment is overly sensitive making if hard to adjust to 1:1. I would suggest allowing numerical entry or Reset to 1.000 button.

    3. Grid line are very difficult to see. Need to brighten/darken so they can be see easier.

    4. Allow grid rotation to be frozen when the user is not actually measuring an object at angles. Enable or Disable or Freeze.

    I think that these suggestions would go a long way to improve the current version of the app and I would bump the rating to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

  • Inaccurate on 12.9 iPad Pro.

    I was going to use this to measure my wrist with a piece of string to order a watch band being that I’m stuck at work without a tape measure so figured why not try an app.. it’s about 2 inches shy on the app. I thought the inches looked a little big at first…
  • Measures were way too large!

    For some reason the inches were much larger than actual inches. I don’t know how much they were off but I felt they were at least twice too large. A beautiful and simple app, but useless as a substitute for a ruler (unless I missed a calibration feature). I’m using an iPad Pro 3 generation.
  • Cheap Useless App 🤪

    Just installed this app and paid the $1.99 to get rid of the ads... I guess the developer (s) is/are German, which is fine; don't care, but no English version of a YouTube instructional video...?
  • Limitations

    The app does not have more measurements to choose from and once the screen is maximized, you can’t minimize it or use another app. Does not respond to touch comment to change vids or close it
  • Simple and accurate

    Simple and accurate. Easy to use,cheap to buy. What is not to like?
  • Despite name, has ads

    Despite the name mentioning no ads, the app is only ad-free if you buy the premium version
  • Great little app!

    I’ve tried several ruler apps and this one has been in my top 2 favorites. It’s intuitive, precise, pretty, and has more features than other ones I’ve used, like the ability to save measurements you’ve made.

    Just a couple of suggestions - as awful as the imperial system is, we here in the US are stuck with it. I wish there were a way to set the default unit to inches so the ruler would stay on inches instead of reverting back to centimeters the next time you use it. Also, it would be nice if there were a way to remove the red markers from the screen so you could have a clean look when desired, although they can be extremely useful.

    All in all, well done, devs!

  • Latest Update Destroyed Best Ruler On App Store With Ads

    IPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15.2 - This ruler was the best ruler on the App Store and now this latest update has destroyed it. The ruler looked beautiful with it’s dark theme on both my iPad and iPhone. Now with the latest update this ruler has a large white bar constantly displaying ads. There is no way to disable the ad bar that has destroyed this ruler. Why not offer the option to make a one time purchase to remove the ads? I can understand the need to make money on apps, but this large white bar displaying constant ads destroyed all of the great work you put into this ruler. Time for me to find a new ruler app without the ads.
