A nice alternative to AR-based rulers; this makes my iPhone feel like a window onto a real tape I’m pulling across a surface, which is just how I want it. Easy recommendation! **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! ### 5/5 — Good in a pinch *2023-03-05* Initially I was a little confused on how to use this but it works great after you figure out how to use this. The calipers are cool too **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! ### 5/5 — Simple but intuitive! *2023-03-05* Especially good to measure things that are smaller than an iPhone. But also works well for larger things as well. Will definitely use this in my day-to-day. ### 5/5 — Great in a pinch *2023-03-01* I left my rulers at home and needed to measure my pet snail, Kevin, to win an argument on the local snail forums. I was even able to measure the width of his shell with the calipers feature! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage! *2024-06-10* Nonfunctional piece of garbage. If I had paid more, I would be very mad. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear it hasn’t lived up to your expectations. What issues are you having exactly? There’s a contact developer button in the app - I’m great at getting back to people 😄 ### 1/5 — Ok app, but not for anyone who has a modern iPhone. *2023-03-05* The app requires a lot of human action, which can easily mean you can get it wrong. The measure app is very accurate already. And unless you have an older phone, or iPad, you do not need this. **Developer response:** This is a very disingenuous review. There are trade offs made in every measurement app. For AR-based apps, it is not possible to measure anything smaller than a centimetre, and there are many conditions where it perform worse or not at all - e.g low light, curved surfaces, glass etc. This app deliberately uses different methods so you have more options available. ### 2/5 — App Support is absent on website *2023-10-10* Using the top right icon freezes when adjusting sizes on iPhone 15 PM (latest iOS 17.03) ### 3/5 — So close *2023-12-31* Using the micrometer (right icon in segment control), the app locks up when touching the zoom control. Everything else looks great, wish it didn’t have this bug iPhone 15 pro max **Developer response:** Sorry for this! I put out an update to fix this yesterday. Check the App Store for updates 🤩 ### 5/5 — So good in a pinch. *2025-05-29* Being able to measure small things quickly with this app is incredibly nice. Can’t say how accurate it is but when you just need a quick or visual reading, it’s great. ### 5/5 — Accurate *2024-12-28* More accurate than the AR measure app, this app deserves more love **Developer response:** ❤️ ### 5/5 — Works! *2024-06-10* It works as advertised. **Developer response:** Thank you 🤩 ### 5/5 — Simple but useful *2024-03-11* Very simple but useful app. The native measure app is good for approximations of large areas but I have much more confidence in the accuracy of this app for the finer details **Developer response:** ❤️ ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2023-07-16* Really handy ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-03-16* Can’t fault this app. Exactly what I needed! 10/10!! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic little app *2023-03-16* Very accurately measured the nib of my pen. It was 0.7mm. ### 5/5 — Simple but well designed tool *2023-03-14* This app is simple but well designed and a unique idea. Kudos to the dev! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review 😊 ### 5/5 — Simple. Good. Accurate. *2023-03-08* Simple. Good. Accurate (on my iPhone 13 mini). **Developer response:** Thanks - and I love your music! ### 5/5 — Free app that doesn’t take data *2023-03-07* For a free app that does not collect any info, it is quite nice & useful. Can’t really complain about anything. (From Reddit) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
