However, nothing happens—it’s just a view through the camera. The little dot that is in the sample videos is nowhere to be found when I open the app. ### 1/5 — Accuracy issues *2018-08-08, version 1.1* Not at all accurate and asks for a rating every 30 seconds. So here you go... ### 1/5 — Fiabilitė *2018-08-08* Pas fiable du tout. Un gadget **Developer response:** Dear Gimparis, please describe in detail about the issues you're facing by reaching us at info@e-papadakis.gr. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Great concept...doesn’t measure up! *2018-08-07, version 1.1* It is fairly accurate if the item is close and you are measuring horizontally. Add any angle to the equation and it really misses the mark. ### 1/5 — Too many request each time you use it big hassle *2018-08-07, version 1.1* Just started to use it at this point I could not recommend ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fullllllll Ad *2025-08-21* Just a sec the.

Every time you try to set endpoints on an item, it opens an ad and erases the measurement. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-08-29* This app doesn’t work at all. Would give it a zero if I could. ### 1/5 — Labels too small to read *2023-04-10, version 1.2.7* How do I make the measurements bigger so I can see what the app has calculated? ### 1/5 — Absolutely junk *2021-02-11, version 1.2.4* If you’re looking to waste your time and $, get it ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-03-14, version 1.2.2* One sample photo shows measurement of lamp as captured in still shot. No easy way to do that with this app No settings or options other than units. Worth 99¢ maybe. No zoom option either. It does measure but you need to write them down before you take the next. ### 1/5 — Ads just blast out and measurements are way off *2018-08-12, version 1.2* I supposedly got the ad free app with a special. I was right in the middle of measuring when this video and just starts screaming. I try to take the measurement again and here comes another ad. They're loud as hell. I guarantee you'll get more ads than measurements and any measuring you do manage to eek out isn't even close. You're better off eyeballing something while shouting out some obnoxious commercial jingle. I've downloaded a lot of bad ad apps but this was the worst. This app isn't accurate and if you want to get 3-4 measurements, prepare to plug your ears and sit thru their stupid ads. This app is bag without ads! The screeching ads just make the app go into the "worst apps ever downloaded" file ### 1/5 — Difficult to use *2018-08-09, version 1.1* Conceptually this seems great, however in practice it’s very difficult to draw lines over objects to measure ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2018-08-09, version 1.1* Measured >60” window to be two feet wide ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Four *2019-08-24, version 1.2.2* Four ### 5/5 — Thanks *2018-08-08, version 1.1* Thanks ### 5/5 — Handy! *2018-08-08* It works as advertised and very simple to use. I have not tested it for accuracy. Measures height and width with ease. **Developer response:** Dear DP19480810, thank you very much for the positive review. We're working hard to provide the best AR measurement tool on the App Store. ### 3/5 — الكويت. *2018-08-07, version 1.1* برنامج مفيد لقياس المسافات وانت جالس مكانك. ### 2/5 — Basic *2018-08-09* Able to do some measurements but lacks accuracy and ability to transfer or use data/measurements taken. **Developer response:** Dear pedhed, thank you for the feature request. It will be considered to be added on a future update. ### 2/5 — Short range only *2018-08-07, version 1.1* Doesn’t work work at all for things past 10ft away ### 2/5 — Annoying *2018-08-07, version 1.1* The app isnt bad but constantly asks for review --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
