Prega di correggere il fastidioso problema ### 2/5 — So many adverts! *2024-10-08, version 2.0.5* I wanted to measure the area of an irregular shape. This app has so many adverts that I never got to the point of knowing if it actually works or not. ### 1/5 — Bug *2024-08-28* Avant j’ai recommandé à tous, mais aujourd’hui je peux pas dire le même. La honte devant nous clients, ça bloque à chaque fois et reprend la pag d’accueil et en plus pas d’assistance, envoie des mails sans réponse. **Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour. Vos réclamations ont été transmises à l'équipe de développement, et ils travaillent déjà à résoudre ce problème. Ce serait formidable si vous pouviez nous envoyer des captures d'écran illustrant le souci à l'adresse suivante : support@grymalaltd.com. Nous n'avons pas reçu de message de votre part, et notre équipe de support répond toujours rapidement. Peut-être y a-t-il eu une erreur dans l'adresse ? Pourriez-vous nous indiquer où vous avez envoyé votre mail ? ### 1/5 — Não funciona!!! *2024-04-16, version 2.0.2* Você já tem que pagar os 30 reais antes mesmo de testar e não funciona! Fica falando “continue a mover iPhone” e nada acontece. Tentei com várias iluminações e vários objetos! Quero meu dinheiro de volta! Não caiam nessa armadilha!!!!! ### 1/5 — Too many adverts *2024-04-08, version 2.0.2* The amount of ads actually effects the performance of this app. Every action causes an advert to pop up or sometimes the app freezes because it’s trying to load an advert mid measurement. Really annoying! ### 1/5 — Kann man nicht testen ohne Abo, was soll das??? *2024-01-07* Die Features zum Messen klingen sehr gut, speziell die automatische Raum- und Volumenmessung wären sehr interessant für die Messung mit iPadPro, EIGENTLICH. Ich habe mich sehr geärgert, daß man nicht einmal, ohne ein Abo abschließen zu müsse, die App starten und testen kann. So verkauft sich eine App nicht, das ist völlig dumm. Wenn die App diese Funktionen wirklich bietet, die im Text versprochen werden, dann bin ich bereit auch dafür zu zahlen. Gerne eine Einmalzahlung von vielleicht 30€, aber doch kein Abo für 89,99€ pro Jahr. Das ist viel, viel zu teuer. Mit dieser App könnte der Entwickler viel mehr Geld verdienen, wenn er sie günstiger anbieten würde, dann würde er viel mehr Downloads verkaufen. Aber nur, wenn es eine ECHTE Testversion gibt ohne Abofalle. Minus 5 Sterne **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns about the subscription model. We are currently working on introducing a one-time payment option for our app. We appreciate your patience and hope that this change will make our app more accessible and appealing to users like you. Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for bringing this to our attention. Regards. ### 3/5 — Accurate for smaller objects and shorter distances *2023-08-14* I was hoping to use the app to measure a large interior space. Accuracy was pretty good up to 10 feet in height or length but beyond that range the measurements were no longer accurate. At 50 feet the measurements were off by as much as 10 feet. **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for the comment. We appreciate your words regarding our app. Your feedback is a great help for future development of ARuler. Our developers are striving to make our product useful for everyone. If you share your experience with us, please feel free to report it at: support@grymalaltd.com. Regards. ### 1/5 — Überteuert *2022-12-25* Warum schreiben die denn im vorfeld keine preise dran? Überteuert ist wohl noch milde ausgedrückt ### 1/5 — 돈내라고 하네요 *2022-11-03* 구독 서비스 안한다니까 돈 나가는 어플 ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas *2022-09-27* Non seulement ne fonctionne pas et c’est 108€ si vous ne faites pas attention. ### 1/5 — Subscription *2022-08-24, version 1.2.1* You’re kidding RT 🤪🤪 ### 1/5 — Even if you can accept the exorbitant cost… *2022-07-26* At $90 per year, a casual user won’t be able to justify spending that much money. BUT, even if money I not an issue, documentation is grossly inadequate. I’ve spent at least an hour trying to figure out how to use this app. If the instructions are so poor that I can’t figure out it’s capabilities, I’m not going to invest my time trying to figure it out. BTW, I’m a retired systems engineer with experience in s/w development. My recommendation to a potential user: KEEP LOOKING **Developer response:** Hello Dear user, we are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with ARuler. It's understandable that the cost of the app can frustrate users, but we’ve put energy and time into development of it! Also, it's quite disappointing to hear that you had difficulty with understanding the app's capabilities. ARuler uses advanced technology, and it may require some time and an effort to understand it fully. In this case our in-app instructions and customer support (for additional questions and consultation, please, write us at: support@grymalaltd.com) are aimed to help you in this. Nevertheless, we agree that we need to improve our UX/UI and make a new instruction. We assure you that we work on it every day! That being said, we would like to suggest that you give ARuler another chance. The app has received many positive reviews from users who have found it to be an effective tool for measuring objects in the real world. Regards. ### 1/5 — Junk mail *2022-04-02, version 1.1.8* I don't always look at ads.. but when I do, it's 2 seconds into using the most useless app ever made I haven't even used it yet and it's just bloated with ads. It's junk. How about creating an app to go with these ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Deceptive pricing. *2026-07-30, version 2.2.16* They will charge you 50 dollars per month. ### 1/5 — Predatory subscription *2026-03-20, version 2.2.10* Signed up for a 3 day trial and was charged $14.99. Beware, this app attempts to scam you out of your money. Update: misleading response from the developer. I was charged immediately upon signing up for the trial, before the three day trial had expired. Don’t waste your money with these scam artists. ### 1/5 — Scammy practices *2026-02-20, version 2.2.9* £13 a week for a ruler app? That’s just shocking ### 1/5 — Predatory subscription *2025-12-06, version 2.2.7* Signed up for a 3 day trial and was charged $14.99. Beware, this app attempts to scam you out of your money. ### 1/5 — Abonnement *2025-10-13* Abo für DeutschlandCard, Amazon Prime, Office365, Adobe Phothoshop, Chat GPT, Smarthome (zb Tado), Spotify, Ziffernblätter Smartwatch - wer möchte ernsthaft etliche Abonnements abschliessen für insgesamt hunderte von Euros? Wenn ihr meint im Markt der ganzen unsäglichen Softwareabonnements, weil die Monetarisierung von Diensten wiederkehrende Einahmen verspricht, mit einem weiteren Abonnement zu bestehen … **Developer response:** Hallo! Wir verstehen absolut, dass die Vielzahl an Abonnements heutzutage frustrierend sein kann. Allerdings bietet AR Ruler eine ziemlich einzigartige Funktionalität: Mit Hilfe innovativer AR-Technologie können Sie Maße direkt über Ihr Smartphone erfassen. In vielen Situationen hat die App klare Vorteile gegenüber einem klassischen Maßband - zum Beispiel bei schwer erreichbaren oder unzugänglichen Objekten. Wir arbeiten kontinuierlich daran, die App weiter zu verbessern und ihren Nutzen zu erhöhen. Vor diesem Hintergrund halten wir den Preis für die Premium-Version für fair - insbesondere für Nutzer, die diese speziellen Funktionen regelmäßig benötigen. ### 1/5 — 正直な気持ち *2025-07-26, version 2.2.3* 使えないとかのレベルじゃないです。 まともに測れないのにスマホは熱を持って熱くなるだけで、定規を測ってもズレているのでこのアプリは使わない方がスマホにとってもいいと思います。 ### 1/5 — Such a simple app require you subscription *2025-07-26, version 2.2.3* Took more than a minute with dozens popups on initial launch. Then the ruler does not even work. They require me to download an additional tools like ???? Im warning yalll this app is not worth it for such a simple task. I wouldnt even be writing this if ONLY I have my measuring tape! ### 1/5 — Completely not worth it- all features offered are free on an all that comes pre-downloaded on iPhone *2025-05-14* Nothing pisses me off more than the fact I never signed up for an annual plan for this app and yet still got charged $90. There’s nothing this app offers to even pay a single dollar for. Literally everything they offer comes with a free app for iPhone. I think about this constantly I basically just donated $90 to a scam. Don’t even download this app there’s no purpose to it when you can get their services for free. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience. We always aim to provide a helpful and transparent service, especially when it comes to subscriptions. We also recommend checking your Apple ID subscription settings, as sometimes subscriptions can activate through free trial periods. We’d also appreciate hearing more about what you felt was missing in the app so we can continue to improve. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts - we value every piece of feedback and always try to respond. ### 1/5 — Scammed out of $20 *2025-03-31* Be careful when you install this app. As I unfortunately found out if you accidentally touch the screen at the wrong time you get signed up for a subscription whether you want it or not. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience. We're truly sorry to hear that the subscription process was not as clear or convenient as expected. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and transparent experience for all users, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve. If you could provide more details about when and how the issue occurred, we would greatly appreciate it. Please feel free to reach out to our support team, and we will do our best to assist you!

I just got a black screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App to obtain home (windows and such) measurements! *2024-12-16* Takes a bit to learn how to navigate. A little patience and I figured it out! Definitely recommend for windows and other areas of a home that are not easily accessible. Not sure that the cost of an annual membership is necessary for personal use though. **Developer response:** Hello!

Have a wonderful day! ### 5/5 — Good *2024-03-15, version 2.0.2* So good ### 5/5 — Easy & usefull *2022-12-23, version 1.6* Easy & usefull ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-06-18, version 1.2* Very ### 5/5 — Great *2022-04-17, version 1.1.8* Great app thanks sincerely Muhammad Elman’suh Milhouse ### 5/5 — В *2022-02-22* Cool virtual roulette, you directly opened the world of modern repair technologies for me.

You can forget about the tape measure and manual measurements of the room. ### 5/5 — Cool *2022-02-19* As an architect, I checked out the app. I will use it in new projects. **Developer response:** Hello!
