## What is Mobile Measuring Tape?

Measure a length on the go with two easy clicks! Simply place your device at the start of the length, click "Start Measuring" and move to the end of the length. Get measurements in US customary or Metric units.

Note: Measurement accuracy will depend on phone hardware and environmental conditions. For better measurements, connect to a wifi-network or move outside. Measurements can vary up to 9 m (30 ft) under good conditions, but this is not always the case. Larger measurements will be more accurate.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2016-08-18*

Unless u allow "being able to track your location even when the app is off" it won't open... AND I couldn't even post this unless I left at least one star...

### 1/5 — Not Accurate

*2015-11-21*

Tried several times to measure the same thing. Never even got a reasonable approximation.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-09-13*

So i tried the app a few times and it didn't work. I move the phone an inch, and it said 17 meters! DO NOT GET APP!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2015-06-29*

### 1/5 — 0 Stars! Terrible!

*2015-06-09*

### 1/5 — Crap

*2015-05-30*

Won't work unless you allow it to use your location which is not needed

*2015-04-13*

What's worse than -2
