### 5/5 — Used for years

*2026-05-22, version 4.7*

Great app, have used for annotating trees for work for years. Especially useful having folders to organise. Would really like to see a loupe function, otherwise excellent.

### 5/5 — Jendosa

*2026-03-30, version 4.7*

Been using this app for years  haves help the business and customers providing measurements for our fender flares. Thank you

### 5/5 — Sehr hilfreich

*2026-03-23*

Ich nutze die App jetzt schon seit einiger Zeit und bin wirklich begeistert. Die Möglichkeit, direkt auf einem Foto Maße einzutragen, spart enorm viel Zeit und macht alles deutlich übersichtlicher

Für Handwerker, Techniker oder einfach alle, die regelmäßig Dinge dokumentieren oder planen, ist diese App eine echte Erleichterung im Alltag. Klare Empfehlung!

### 3/5 — iOS26.2だと写真が取り込めない？

*2026-01-25*

iOSを26.2にアップデートしたら写真が真っ黒になってインポートできなくなってしまいました。とてもお気に入りのアプリだったの残念。

### 5/5 — Richtig praktisch

*2025-12-21*

Benutze die App seit Jahren und freue mich immer wieder über die nützlichen Funktionen.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t measure anything

*2025-12-07, version 4.7*

I thought this app would take measurements of objects after calibrating by inputting the size of an object with a known size. However it doesn’t measure anything. It’s just an app that lets you draw lines and make notes on your photo. Useless for my purposes.

### 5/5 — Einfach und unkompliziert

*2025-11-14*

Besser als die wo automatisch „gemessen“ wird

### 4/5 — Need more shape and more customize

*2025-08-23, version 4.7*

Need more shape and more customize

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2025-08-17, version 4.7*

At first, it does not sound like much, but it is very helpful, and I have convinced many people to get it.

While helpful for routine things, it is TRULY INDISPENSABLE when working with odd shapes spaces.

For example, I had to fit a pool chlorinator into a small, oddly shaped space on a concrete pad that already had a pool pump and filter system on it. I only had an oddly shaped corner to work with. I needed 5 measurements to define the available space.

Easy with this app.

### 5/5 — Intuitive and Effective

*2025-07-31, version 4.7*

I’ve been using Photo Measures for years and it has been very impactful.  Simple to use.  Presents well to customers.  Very important to my business.
