Deleted immediately. ### 1/5 — App needs a major fix *2021-06-16* Upon opening, it goes to a completely black screen. Closing and restarting the app doesn’t work. I checked when it was last updated to see if something knocked a screw loose. “Minor bug fixes” quite some time ago. My suggestion: delete the app and either wait for updates or find a different one to download. ### 1/5 — No directions. How do you use it? *2021-05-17* I downloaded this app on my iPhone 12 Pro. When I load the app I get a pop up asking to access my camera. I accept. Turn the screen changed to a live camera feed with a target in the center. I finally figured out that the target would turn green if I pointed at nearby objects and white if I pointed at stuff far away. I couldn't get the app to do anything else. No directions. No help. Nothing to indicate how it works. Couldn’t measure anything. Totally useless. ### 1/5 — Junk *2021-05-01* Not user friendly at all! Just not able to open the measurement tool for a measurement and just bait to purchase the pro which I suppose- allows for no hassle use of the measurement tool… ### 1/5 — Does not work *2021-03-25, version 1.0.5* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — This is a ruler *2021-02-21, version 1.0.5* This is a ruler, why does it need my microphone? Hmmmmmm ### 1/5 — It’s not working *2021-01-29* Only I see is a red dot , that all . Maybe needs and an update ### 1/5 — Useless and doesn’t work *2021-01-17* Trash app ### 1/5 — STRESSFUL!!! Smh *2020-04-18* The most complicated and annoying thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. Something so simple was not just extremely complex but impossible to do. I just wanted to measure one of my girlfriends feet. ### 1/5 — Never download it doesnt work *2020-04-08* Dont use this ever ### 1/5 — No *2020-01-13, version 1.0.2* Thanks but no there’s a reason it’s “free” ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-07-06* Shows us whatever your camera looks at with a white and green dot dead center that does nothing at all.. no settings, no menu, no tape measurer to be found. Don’t down load ### 1/5 — No buttons *2026-07-02* No navigation buttons, just a green dot. ### 1/5 — Accuracy problem *2026-05-31* The application has difficulty identifying object and sometimes freezes or fails to complete measurement process. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-04-24* 10 attempts with an iPhone 15. Nothing. Ridiculous ### 1/5 — No buttons or controls for this. *2026-04-18* Totally useless for me. No butting or any control on my iPhone 16 pro max. I don’t recommend. Deleted this after a few attempts ### 1/5 — it just does not work as intended to be *2022-04-29* after my 30x attempt, I was able to use it one time. Maybe I was doing it right but no matter what I do, where I point, how long I do it, does not make it work any easier. I am not gonna be spending all day trying to make it work when I need it. It will probably be quicker to go to the store and buy tape measure and come back. ### 1/5 — Instructions would be nice *2021-09-19* One star because it doesn’t actually do anything nor is there any help in the app to get it to work. ### 1/5 — Does nothing *2021-08-20* Just shows a green dot. No actual function ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-08-17* Literally completely non-functional. ### 1/5 — “move iPad” *2021-07-19* all it does is display a message saying to continue to move the iPad. But I could move it till I’m blue in the face and nothing happens except I see a message saying to move the iPad. There are no settings or other things that I can find to adjust and no information that allows me to troubleshoot this as a problem. And I must conclude that it does not work. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good app much likey *2021-06-12* I like this app a lot it is cool ### 5/5 — Surprisingly the most accurate *2021-01-14* I have an iPhone 7 and I’ve messed around with the measurement app quite a bit wouldn’t say everyday use but decided to pull out the tape measure and I’d say that the software that comes with the older iPhones is ok but this APP is on point and the best I’ve tried even with the apple software update this app is by far the beat I’ve found although I haven’t tried others! Ty I’d probably rate it a 4.2 or 4.3 but who doesn’t need something telling you that your too close or not level with the item your measuring but live how you can convert it from CM to INCHES or vice versa! Ty again definitely will be using this app before the manufacturer app. ### 5/5 — FINALLY! *2020-01-12* I just had to see for myself just how small it is 😔 ### 4/5 — It’s ok *2022-11-04* Not bad ### 3/5 — Not smooth ☹️ *2022-03-06* Selection of points are not smooth. Some time you will not be able to focus or put point where you want to measure from. ### 3/5 — Not working on my iPhone 12 pro max *2020-11-30* I can see the item but can measure it ### 2/5 — Mo *2020-05-26* Free but waste of space, didn’t work --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
