### 3/5 — Close but it could be better

*2024-02-07*

Creating a measurement is fairly straightforward. And you can pick the dimensions to measure, but it doesn’t remember my setting if I exit and relaunch.  However I can only measure one thing and I can’t modify it after its been placed.

**Developer response:** 【UPDATE: 2024-04-27】
In the version 1.1 update, I added “multiple measurement”, “world anchoring”, and “log feature”. Check it out!

Thanks for review&feedback! It's so helpful to hear your detailed thoughts. OK, I'll explore improving the issues.
