### 3/5 — Pro plan is frustrating

*2026-03-27, version 2.0.1*

The pro plan is wildly expensive at $15/mo.  I get locking away big expensive features (I guess), but not being able to NAME A MEASUREMENT is just wrong.  It’s such a simple and important feature, really shady move.

### 2/5 — Subscription??

*2025-12-14, version 1.15.2*

Why can’t I pay just once to unlock it like Leica?

### 2/5 — Bosch MeasureOn

*2025-11-28, version 1.15.2*

Previous app versions allowed for basic functions like exporting to PDF’s without having to upgrade to a pro account.  Seems like everyone wants to nickel and dime us for basic functions. When purchasing $150 laser measurer (GLM165-27CG), you would think a fully functional app would come with it. The app for my previous laser (GLM50C x3398) had pdf export as a basic function.

The user interface was also better in previous versions. I think the export to dwg might be a decent tool but @ $13 a month, I’ll pass!

### 2/5 — Decent app they do not help with customer service

*2025-10-19*

I bought this app almost a year ago for my flooring business I have been trying to work with the customer service for months and months. It will not allow me to access the information from multiple devices even if I login with the same login information. This is not worked for our business. Then we will be highly considering shifting to a new laser. So that we can utilize a new software.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your review! Please contact us via email at Measuring.AppSupport@us.bosch.com regarding your request so that we can assist you further. Thank you very much! Your MeasureOn Team

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-09-05, version 1.14.2*

Online help does not work: no video. Punctuation problem with text. Can not add door. Have a standard account.

### 1/5 — Scummy Practices

*2025-08-29, version 1.14.1*

You buy an expensive laser measure. Little did you know. Bosch are penny pinching and want 10$ a month just for the device to push its measurements to the app. Actually just really slimy gross business practice. Returning my laser and using literally anything else. What a joke. You have to subscribe to your tools now. Dog water company. Miss me with anything else from Bosch.

### 1/5 — CEO of Santa-bay.com

*2025-08-05, version 1.14.0*

App doesn’t save my measurements and photos despite I paid for the cloud storage. Some projects got disappeared at all and I have nothing to tell my clients now…
Mobile app get stuck in a middle of taking measurements and photos and require reboot of my iPhone 16 Pro Max 

I lost at lest few important projects because for that application and so much precious time

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2025-07-27, version 1.14.0*

The app is pretty good, but it needs to be better. Missing features: 
1. Overall room dimensions for rooms that don’t have a continuous straight wall for length and width. 
2. Ability to add a windows in small walls, especially 3 feet or less.

### 1/5 — This app is absolute junk!

*2025-07-18*

Have been using this app for several months now.  Sporadically the app decides to delete my photos with measurements.  I pay for the cloud service that you would think would help with these issues but no!  I have measured several jobs that are a 4 hour drive from my place of business, just for all the photos and measurements to be deleted when it comes time to use them.  I now have to screenshot everytime I take a photo and measure because I know more often then not that it will get deleted.  DO NOT PAY FOR THE CLOUD SERVICE FOR THIS APP!

### 1/5 — continuing

*2025-07-15, version 1.14.0*

the app is an insult to any person that has spent any money and/or time purchasing or attempting to use said.  it is so bad, they should pay you to use it. no customer support. IF you are a glutton for anguish and circular illogical answers, then this company is for you. i have purchased my LAST bosch product and i am so relieved .. NEVER AGAIN

### 1/5 — Free features reducing progressively over past 3 years; also random data loss

*2025-07-04, version 1.13.3*

Why is this app progressively moving what used to be free features into subscription only?

Used it 3 yrs ago and all the features were free.  Now even Bluetooth tool->app entry I need to wait a few seconds for the “pro ad” timer countdown!

Bosch, this is not like a free game you released and can change paid features - but packaged tool where these features are advertised on the box/video instructions from 3 yrs ago where ppl bought it based on the claims!

Also this app randomly has its data deleted/corrupted.  Experienced it a year ago; and again today for a photo/measurement I created a month ago.

### 1/5 — Basic version was fine

*2025-07-01, version 1.13.3*

Not sure why the old version is no longer available. It worked fine and kept track of measurements via Bluetooth. And you could name your measurements which appear to be a paid feature of this app now.

### 1/5 — y a des limites !

*2025-06-17, version 1.13.3*

y a des limites !

### 1/5 — Kids Toy

*2025-05-17, version 1.13.1*

Wish I had known how pathetic the app was before I spent all that money on the measuring tool. Maybe someone can hack the tool and write a decent app for it. Or maybe return the Bosch Tool and see if Playschool has a better app.

### 1/5 — Lost my measurements!!!! Hours of work lost!!!!!

*2025-04-17, version 1.13.0*

The app has serious problems with saving measurements, even though it appears to be saved. You back out when you go back in all of your measurements are gone! 
I can’t even find an option to save. Do not trust!!!! Whole projects disappear! You’re better off using a pen and paper.

### 1/5 — Does not allow actual flooring plan drawings.

*2025-01-29, version 1.12.1*

Downloaded, paid for pro, it will not work a cross my tablets with the same account. Paid for a year in advance. Also we cannot measure out the entire floor plan  would love to add pictures to give an example. But an entire wall, set of stairs and closet cannot be drawn in because they are not connected to the other walls. Poor design and not worth the 6-700 investment I’ve made to switch over.

### 1/5 — Bluetoosh problem

*2025-01-27, version 1.12.1*

My problem is with the Bluetooth connection between the device and the mobile phone, which sometimes disconnects every few seconds even though it is next to the phone. What is this bug and problem?

### 1/5 — Misleading features

*2025-01-25*

When I bought this device it advertised many features but didn’t clearly indicate that they were only accessible with a $15/month subscription. I paid a hefty price for the features I wanted and now I discover I need to steadily pay more money indefinitely just to access them. This is such a bait and switch. I’m just a casual hobbyist and could’ve bought a much cheaper device that does the same things this does but without the subscription paywall. I basically paid Bosch $100 premium for my item so they could try to sell me a monthly plan. What a joke. Never again, Bosch. I’ll remember this next time I’m shopping for tools.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for the review! The key features of MeasureOn (such as sketching a room including calculating room calculations, transferring measurements from your laser or exporting individual elements) are still available for free and always will be. You can export single elements of the workspace via clicking on the element (room plan, photo, note) on the workspace and click "share". Please understand that for premium features (such as CAD export, export of entire projects with your own logo or synchronization across multiple devices and cloud backup) MeasureOn PRO is required. Thank you! Your MeasureOn Team

### 1/5 — Money grab

*2025-01-12, version 1.12.0*

This company lost my business for all their tools, even a simple screen capture has becomes a pain because they want people to sign up for the “pro” services.

### 1/5 — 15$ a month to name measurements!

*2026-05-10*

I just spent up to a couple hundred dollars on this tool and now these jokers want me to spend $15 a month on their stupid app so that I can name my measurements?!? I can’t even assign a name to a stored measurement in an app without paying $180 per year?

Bosch is a joke, this app is useless, my camera or notes app is 10 times more useful for this specific feature set. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put the most basic functions of an app for such an expensive tool behind an additional paywall should be fired!

**Developer response:** Hello,  

Thank you for your review!  

We would like to assure you that the basic functions of MeasureOn, which allow you to sketch rooms, transfer measurements from your laser, and export individual rooms or photo surveys, remain completely free of charge. However, to access the full range of functions and efficiency improvements of our premium features—such as CAD export for professional post-processing, exporting entire projects with your company logo for a consistent brand image, convenient synchronization across all your devices, and secure cloud backups—a subscription is required. Thank you for your understanding!  

We are continuously working to add new features and improvements to MeasureOn and would appreciate receiving more details about your feedback. Please contact us via in-app support so we can consider your feedback.  

Thank you!

### 1/5 — Mandatory Subscription

*2026-03-28, version 2.0.1*

Great app until they enforced the screenshot sharing to sell their subscription. Honestly wish I could return this measuring thing and find an alternative.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-03-09, version 2.0.1*

The app sucks

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-03-05, version 2.0.1*

Frequent data loss, with entire annotated images missing from workspace. We have to embarrass ourselves by revisiting client to recapture measurements.  Bosch has run this app and it’s reputation into the ground with Measureon.

### 1/5 — Subscription required for Labels

*2026-01-21*

Paid $250 for a laser but can’t even label my measurements without paying more money  
Update: Dev claims they only charge for the software to export data (because it’s so much better to charge a subscription just to use the hardware that I own with software that I license) but I still get popups begging for money every time I try basic features. 

Just double checked and now have a screenshot showing the rename button locked behind a pro logo. Would upload but App Store doesn’t do photos. So their devs are misinformed or lying about it.

**Developer response:** Hello, 
thank you for the feedback! 

We want to assure you that creating notes on a measurement sheet, as well as other key functions such as sketching a room, transferring measurements from your laser, and exporting individual elements like a room or a photo measurement, are all available for free.

However, we ask for your understanding that a subscription is required for more advanced features (such as CAD export, exporting entire projects with your own logo, or synchronization across devices and cloud backup).

If you have any specific questions or need assistance with these features, please feel free to reach out to us at support.measureon@bosch.com.

Thank you in advance!

### 1/5 — Poor performance

*2025-12-16, version 1.15.2*

App fails constantly. The original Measure On app, Gen 1,worked extremely well. Bosch discontinued Gen1 so they could  could soak you for $15/ mo for doing the same thing as Gen 1. Save you money

### 1/5 — They block screenshots

*2025-11-20, version 1.15.2*

To be the ultimate professional product blocks a screenshot. I just needed to add a note on a measurement I took. Not allowed. You’ve to pay us 🤦‍♂️ or upgrade to Pro monthly to be allowed to take screenshots. How pathetic.

### 1/5 — Like being held hostage? This app is for you.

*2025-10-19, version 1.15.0*

Want to take measurements? Go right ahead! Want to print them? That’ll be $15/month, please. No prints, just PDF? $15/month. Want to take a screenshot of your own mother ducking iPhone screen? Yep, you guessed it. $15/month. Kiss my hairy bass.

### 1/5 — Corporate Idea Bombs

*2025-10-09, version 1.15.0*

Took one of the best and most productive apps in my arsenal in cannibalized it for a monthly fee.  If you needed money, you could’ve left the app alone and just added the subscription fee.

### 1/5 — Subscription required for Labels

*2025-09-08, version 1.14.2*

Paid $250 for a laser but can’t even label my measurements without paying more money

### 5/5 — Game changer!

*2026-04-17*

This app and laser (GLM400C) are a game changer! I draw floor plans for foundation repair every day. Between the AR function and the Bluetooth connectivity to the laser, this combo increases my productivity by about 1000%! I love that I can export a pdf file with dimensions! I can’t wait to see how they continue to improve this app.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2024-05-13, version 1.11.0*

Thank you

### 5/5 — I love it!! With one reservation though

*2023-05-26, version 1.7.3*

If you take the time to learn the app this is an awesome tool. The measurements transfer over Bluetooth from the laser to the drawing saves a lot of time. I also like the feature to take a picture and then mark it up with measurements. I find the tool (laser) and app to be a great combo. Again give yourself some time to learn and play with the app and I think you will love it. 

I like the direction Bosch is going with improving and supporting the app. I am a little shocked by the price tag, 9.99 or 14.99 per month. I would prefer an annual option at a better price. It seems high to me. 

The feature I would recommend for the paid version is to make my company logo larger and let me put in my contact info with it, phone & website and so on. It is a professional look, but at the monthly price it’s a lot for a small contractor who may not use it on a super regular basis. 

I give it 5 stars because it really is a good product and from what I see, Bosch is trying grow this and is willing to continue improvements. I just hope they don’t price themselves out of the market.

### 5/5 — Bosh GlM 50C professional

*2022-07-23, version 1.4.0*

I don’t normally write reviews, but in this case I will.
There is in my opinion a lot of “junk” out there but once in awhile a product comes along that I think deserves a high five.
I am not a professional,but this Bosh Professional GLM 50c, (which has been updated) is one of the best measuring tools I have used.It is handy that can be attached with it’s included case to your belt and is only the size of a small tv remote.
At first I was very sceptical as I had a cheaper,none Bosh unit a few years back, which I used to hold down my paperwork,useless!!
My best advise is to look it up and see the features, it is fantastic!
It holds up to 29 measurements so no need for paper, and is accurate to a 32 of an inch.
For the first 8 or 10 measurements I did, I double checked it with a conventional measuring tape, and now that I trust it completely no more tape.
You can set it to measure from the front, back or even the middle of the unit. Which is handy if measuring inside a window frame or wall to wall
This particular model measures up to 165’ but you will still need a tape(unless the newer models are different) for anything under 5”.
There are MANY extremely handy features on this you should check out, and for, at the time under $100,I highly recommend this for professional or a none professional like myself.
It also takes only 2 AAA batteries which I have replaced once in 6 months of average use.
I know, I sound like I either work for the company or am getting paid, I assure you I am just a hard working labourer, which is extremely tired of the JUNK out there and believe that the very rare items that come along  are worth the money and should get a high 5 if they deserve it
Regards… Murray

### 5/5 — Complete tool

*2022-07-05, version 1.3.2*

This an amazing tape measure tool. You can combine your layouts with dimensions on the photos.  Text or email the information to various individuals all at once. It great reference when I create AutoCad drawings. This a must tool for construction and design. Jimmy

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you so much for your positive review, we are glad that you like MeasureOn! We are continuously working on improvements and new features for our users, so feel free to always contact us again directly for further feedback or any questions: measuring.appsupport@us.bosch.com. Thank you! Your MeasureOn Team

### 5/5 — Awesomeness!

*2022-02-18, version 1.2.1*

I’m glad there’s a company that makes great tools and free software that complements it. I’ve been looking for something like this.
Thank you!

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2022-01-18, version 1.2.1*

Really like the device and the app so far.
The app allows adding pictures and then lengths on top of it, multiple rooms, captures the length immediately from the device via bluetooth and much more - as a software engineer to the developers: so far so good, great work.

### 5/5 — iPad version is a huge productivity boost

*2021-07-02, version 1.1.0*

This would be a killer app if it offered simple .dwg export. Nevertheless it’s a solid 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Most recent up crashes immediately

*2021-04-15, version 1.0.3*

I just updated the app yesterday and now it won’t open at all. crashes immediately

### 4/5 — Need improvement

*2024-05-22*

I like to be able to draw whole floor plan of a building in one sheet not room by room. And like to be able to draw interior walls.
Also wall view only support rectangular shape walls.
For example for pitched roof buildings the wall at gable ends are not rectangular shape.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your review! The general idea of MeasureOn is that you can create an unlimited number of rooms, photos and notes on one workspace. However, currently you can only sketch one room at a time, sketching entire floor plans with different adjoined rooms is not possible (yet). The current single room layout should avoid errors when transferring measurements with the laser rangefinder, so for now we recommend to create a workspace on which you can put room sketches and align them separately on the same workspace (via drag & drop) to indicate an entire floor. Nevertheless, we will gladly forward your feedback to have it reviewed for possible future app development. Thank you! Your MeasureOn Team
