### 4/5 — Doesn’t fit iPhone 8 screen

*2023-12-21*

Exactly what I needed but it doesn’t fit iPhone 8 screen. Just barely able to use it.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry for your difficulty. The ruler graphic has been used since iPhone 3, a much smaller screen, and has been tested on the smallest screen currently available, the iPhone SE (3rd generation), and there have been no other complaints. The essence of this app is 1000th of an inch measurements, which are naturally very small and hard to see.

### 4/5 — Handy App

*2022-12-18*

Very helpful if you aren’t familiar with 32, 64, and 128 units and need to have a visual reference on a ruler.

### 1/5 — Never buy

*2022-10-25*

This is the worst one. It never works.

**Developer response:** The App does what it says it will do. Convert decimal measurements to imperial mixed fractions of an inch, as found on rulers and measuring tapes.
I'm sorry this is not what you were looking for.

### 5/5 — Easy rounding!

*2022-08-22*

Simple. Easy to use. Nice over/under rounding conversion to nearest fraction. Does the job. Worth the little $ if you use fractions.

### 4/5 — Rounds up and down, but…

*2021-05-28*

… no option to round to the nearest fraction. Otherwise, very simple and useful.

**Developer response:** The ruler graphic, along with decimal and fraction indicators, show you the rounding amount. Selecting round up or down lets you view the difference and decide which rounding suits your needs.

### 5/5 — Well Designed

*2021-04-20*

Intuitive and useful. Nice job!

### 5/5 — Does exactly what I was looking for

*2020-04-20*

Converts decimals to closest fraction (on tape measure). And you can start with inches or metric. Super simple app but does what it says.

### 1/5 — App seems broken

*2019-08-21*

Doesn’t give any information on how to use app. Think there’s a glitch not allowing a pop window to input numbers...but I don’t know cuz there’s not any information on how it works! Arrrg. Annoyed.

**Developer response:** App website (from AppStore page) has detailed information about using the app. In short, to enter numbers tap the text input box at the top of the screen,  enter your decimal number, then select the unit of measure you are using.

### 1/5 — This is a scam!

*2019-06-21*

There is no mention of a cost in the app description. There are no “in app purchases” listed. 

Yet....my account was charged. 

I want my money back! Immediately!

**Developer response:** This is a paid app. The price is on the button you tap to download it.
There are NO in app purchases (and no advertising).
This review has been reported to Apple.

### 5/5 — Works great!

Does the trick
