### 2/5 — Для ознакомления с функционалом приложения возможно и норм

*2026-01-21*

Прикольно, настолько активный водяной знак я вижу впервые))
Из минусов:
- экспортируемое изображение с внесенными размерами экспортируется с понижением качества с более низким разрешением в пикселях
- водяной знак слишком активный и с левой стороны добавляется темное поле (эстетически складывается впечатление что и дальше в приложении возможно подобные глюки что и остановило от покупки)

### 1/5 — Couldn’t Import a Photo

*2025-11-14*

I couldn’t even figure out how to import/paste a photo into this app.  After two attempts, the App prompted me to upgrade to the paid version.  Will try a different App.

### 1/5 — Sugestão

*2024-11-21*

Seria melhor se tivesse uma integração com uma trena laser com bluetooth. Se tivesse essa função, seria perfeito!

### 5/5 — Dúvida

*2023-10-11*

Tenho a versão paga no androide, troquei o celular por um iPhone, consigo usar nele, ou vou ter que pagar novamente? Se puder, como faço?
Obrigado!

### 5/5 — 仕事でめちゃ使える！

*2022-07-02*

看板屋です。
現調するのにめちゃ便利。
シンプル　イズ　ベスト！

### 1/5 — Ça ne sert pas à mesurer

*2022-04-19*

Il faut rentrer les mesure soi-même

### 2/5 — Not a measurement tool.

*2022-04-13, version 4.5.2*

This is a note taking app for measurements. It will not measure from a photo.

### 5/5 — Vraiment Génial

*2022-02-08*

Ça fait environ 6 ans que j’utilise cette appli dans sa version complète. Je dirige un studio graphique et je me déplace souvent pour prendre des mesures de murs, vitrines,…que nous décorons. L’export avec mesures inscrites sur les photos et surtout les photos sans mesures enregistrées automatiquement dans l’app photo de mon smartphone nous permette de réaliser des mises en situation de qualité à présenter au client. 
Juste une petite amélioration serait souhaitable lors de l’export des photos avec mesures : rajouter si possible le titre de chaque photo…à voir peut être lors d’une prochaine mise à jour. 
En tout cas bravo !

### 5/5 — Helpful App

*2021-06-26*

So, you start with using your own photo or take one using the app. Measure whatever you need to measure. One touch to initialise the arrows which you stretch using you finger(s) then hit measure and copy the number into the box, select imperial or metric then hit done. Dead easy with lots of ways to export them using different formats. 
I found it really useful. Thanks, a product that does what it says on the tin, you get 2 photos to practice then buy or don’t buy. Can’t be doing with the ‘but it costs money’ crowd. Good teens are worth paying for.

### 5/5 — Funciona

*2021-01-06*

Funciona legal. Só tem a limitação de ser apenas duas fotos. Quanto às marcas d’água q o pessoal reclama, só dar Print ao invés de exportar.
