Comes in handy. I never know when I want to measure something. ### 2/5 — Not really *2019-07-19, version 1.9.10* Not really accurate at all I can give you a general measurements so you can get in the ball park I’ve had it I need you to half off to 3 inches off sometimes even more than that so it’s OK for just a general guesstimate but not actual accuracy ### 1/5 — Your app sucks *2018-12-28* What your advertising and what your selling is not the same. I believe that’s called fraud ### 1/5 — Textbook example of false advertising *2018-12-04* See all the cool things in the video for this app? The magic ruler that overlays on the camera image? The chair whose dimensions hover next to it? This app does NONE of these things. It's just a screen-size image of a yellow ruler. I'm guessing that they figure people won't bother demanding a refund for 99 cents once they realize they've been ripped off. Sadly, in my case, they're right. I'll take the time to warn others of this fraud, and leave it at that. ### 1/5 — Not as described *2018-11-28* Only ruler on my iPhone 6 although it say this app works on your device it is not true. ### 1/5 — Don’t believe the compatibility list... *2018-11-20, version 1.9.10* While the list of compatible devices includes the iPhone 6, and the description advises that “you must have an ARKit-enabled device to have access to all the available tools,” only one tool (“slide to measure”) actually works on the iPhone 6. Not even worth .99¢. ### 1/5 — Air measure *2018-11-15* Paid and downloaded app but opens up only on tape measure and cannot get out of it! Disappointing to say the least. Waste of my hard earned 99p :( don’t bother with it. ### 3/5 — Need Millimeters! Am I missing something here?! *2018-10-16* Sure I could do the math but I work with small things that are measured In millimeters as industry standard. I was figuring this app had the functionality... but no, centimeters is as small as it gets. I won’t whine about the $0.99 cents I just paid. But I will say that leaving out that unit of measure is just a functionality fail. ### 1/5 — I paid for noting *2018-10-16, version 1.9.9* I PAID .99 CENT FOR FOR A Ruler face in the pictures it looks like you could like measured with your phone but I want you to slide up and down to measure your Item that you want to measure but it doesn’t work it’s full of it if I could get a refund I would ask for it if that about the $.99 it’s the principle of it ### 1/5 — Baffling *2018-10-14* A baffling app ### 1/5 — One huge flaw *2018-10-10, version 1.9.9* This would be a spectacular app were it not for the fact that zoomed phones will have wildly inaccurate measurements. The developer should have warned us that this would be the case. One has to either reset the phone to standard when the app is used or forfeit any semblance of accuracy. I don’t recall this problem before the update...and I’ve always used a zoomed screen. ### 2/5 — Don't bother *2018-10-07* It's fun to play with and has interesting tools. The problem is... they don't work. You're better off with Apple's measuring app that comes with iOS 12. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2018-10-06, version 1.9.8* Darn, I was hoping this app worked. Unfortunately, the results are wildly inaccurate. Only 6 of 30 results were accurate to within a half inch (all measurements 10”- 4’ ). 1/2” isn’t acceptable at this distance, and many of the results were several inches off. This just isn’t acceptable. My new phone meets all of the standards the developer mandates, but the app doesn’t work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 10cm off measuring 60cm countertop *2021-08-09, version 1.9.11* This application was a disappointment. I measured the width of my countertop a few times always getting 52cm. When I measured using the native Apple app Measure from the exact same place using the same points and by hand with my tape measure, I got 62cm. This is a serious discrepancy. ### 1/5 — Is this a fraud? *2020-04-19, version 1.9.10* Fraud?? Before I buy, it says it supports my device/os with no mention of limitations. First open it says it only supports a limited functionality due to my device, then opens to a single function of a scrolling ruler with zero ability to do ANYTHING other than scroll a ruler. No effort or notifications by os to use my camera whatsoever. This appears to be fraud. ### 1/5 — Not recommended at all *2020-03-25* This app is extremely unreliable and the user experience is *horrible*! Btw, a weird “tutorial” shows up when you first open this app, asks you to measure a (virtual?) *table*, turns out the table is more than 8000 metres wide, it’s f Himalaya! ### 1/5 — Very Difficult to Use and Inaccurate *2019-12-13* I tried to use this app to measure my living room on my last year’s model iPad. I gave up and did it old school with a tape measure. I couldn’t hold my iPad steady enough to get the measuring dots where I wanted them, it wouldn’t let me put a starting point in one corner of my room despite having all my blinds open and all my lights on, AND the measurements were very inaccurate as compared to my physical tape measure. All in all, a waste of my time and probably yours. ### 1/5 — Air measure *2019-03-24* Rubbish app. What is shown in the promo doesn’t work with the app. Seems I need another app to make that part work. Very misleading and disappointing as I wanted it to do measurements on a ceiling not directly onto a surface. ### 1/5 — Rubish *2019-03-01* Same experience as the review above. The app opens into measuring tape and there is no option to do anything! It’s just yellow screen - the tape. Can’t even go back or anything else ### 1/5 — False Advertising *2019-02-13, version 1.9.10* This is not at all what i paid for. All i have on my phone is a ruler thats my whole screen. All i can do is put my prone up to something AND if its not as long as my phone, i can measure it. Thank you for giving me a 4” ruler smh. Definitely would like my money back. Good job developers, you have played me ### 1/5 — Total False Advertising. Fraud *2019-02-08* Shows the ability to measure from point to point when actual fact, it makes your phone into an actual ruler. ### 1/5 — Ridiculously buggy *2019-01-30* Great idea, but app is broken ### 1/5 — Manual mode doesn’t work on a 6 plus *2019-01-07, version 1.9.10* Looks good - not accurate at all for manual mode for older plus phones that can’t take measurements with built-in components. I assume the app sizes the ruler to the full screen no matter what screen size, so you wind up with a significantly higher measurement on a plus. At 44” it gives me 52” - totally useless - deleting it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app!!! *2022-07-17* Best app ever. I am totally clueless when it comes to any kind of measuring, I don’t own a measuring tape..not even a ruler. So as one can imagine when I needed to measure stuff, I was in trouble!! I went looking online and found recommendations for this app, thank god because it’s amazing. There’s nothing I’ve come across that it can’t do and ITS SO EASY!!! It makes it all so so easy! It keeps the history for things too which has helped me tremendously at times where I needed the measurements or the photo of the item measured as I have an online store and was so bummed that I didn’t take a photo of the measurements! Well, came back onto the app just to check and hope, what do you know!? History! Of all I’ve measured so I could get the photos I needed as my items are stored else where this has saved me a few times!! Awesome app! I recommend it 110%! ### 5/5 — Works after seeking support *2022-07-08* I paid for the app to simply use the measurements for shipping cartons. Had to email support to know which tool to use. They replied immediately with the right advice to get me started. Tool works as prescribed. Happy customer ### 5/5 — So EASY! *2021-09-22, version 1.9.11* This is simple and easy to use for quick measuring and then it has more sophisticated measuring abilities. Favorite utility app!! ### 5/5 — Artist *2019-12-21, version 1.9.10* The best part of this app is that it stores the measurements i’m in artist went back 2 months ago and The information was still there ### 5/5 — Interesting *2019-02-03* A very interesting app. Bought it to measure the height of some trees for a project and it was a bit unreliable. Still it has promise and the unreliability might have been from -10 weather and howling wind when I was busy measuring. I like it. ### 5/5 — Great tool in your purse. *2018-11-20* Very easy to use. I didn’t net to read the tectorial‘s or watch the videos. Now that I have it I use it all the time whenever I’m out shopping. I never realized how much I needed this app. And plus it is like I said so easy do you I’ve tried others and they were way too complicated. If you’re hesitating yo ahead and download it. I even donate it because it was so good. ### 5/5 — Awesome app. *2018-10-20* Love this app has so many useful tools. It’s worth getting. ### 5/5 — This is great! Excited to try the picture frames *2018-09-27, version 1.9.6* This is great! Excited to try the picture frames ### 5/5 — Pretty accurate for estimation *2018-08-07, version 1.9.5* I was impressed with how close the measurements were. I certainly wouldn’t use it for carpentry or precision work, but great for eyeballing furniture and such. Handy little app! ### 5/5 — Good device *2018-06-22* One of the nicest measuring app that I tried with built in device like bubble level and stud finder are my favourites. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
