### 5/5 — Perfect

*2019-04-10, version 2.6*

I’ve tried a lot of different protractor apps but this specific app is wonderful because it is effective at doing what it’s supposed to do: measure the angle. The controls are simple and straightforward, as easy as taking a picture and just measuring it out. Best free protractor app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-11-14, version 2.6*

Great app that’s smooth to use if you don’t have a protractor

### 5/5 — Simple and Perfect

*2018-09-25, version 2.6*

This app is simple and perfect for what I needed.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2018-08-24, version 2.6*

Works very well.

### 5/5 — If u need a digital protractor, GET THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

*2018-03-27, version 2.6*

This is awesome! It has a steady camera  to take a picture, and has a very good adjustable angle :)! So happy! 😊 😃 😆

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2018-03-03, version 2.6*

This app is exactly what I was looking for when I searched for a protractor app on my phone.

No need to steady your hand while you try to guesstimate what the overlay says. 
Take a picture, measure every angle you want. Brilliant.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted

*2017-07-25, version 2.6*

I link the ability to set the starting angle by entering the figure.
And also able to measure from photos I have taken in camera roll.  I tried many protractor apps but all of them only measure image from camera only.
It will be better to allow selecting the measurement in clockwise direction.
All in all, 5 stars from me.  Good job.

### 5/5 — This is the one that worked very accurately.

*2017-06-14, version 2.6*

Tried another without a camera but couldn't keep it steady enough. This one allows you to adjust very precisely.

### 5/5 — Works great, very efficient

*2016-04-22, version 2.6*

I have used this app multiple times for taking measurements on patients limbs (veterinarian) as well as for projects around the house. It's super simple, lightweight, and easy to use.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-26, version 2.6*

doesn’t work in iOS 26.5: camera doesn’t open. Accessing photos, results in a black blank screen. too bad I thought this app would really be useful to me.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do what it says

*2023-11-19, version 2.6*

Doesn’t come in handy. Does not work - just crashes after taking photo. 
Uninstalled.

### 1/5 — Crashes on camera

*2023-06-28, version 2.6*

Used to be great. No crashes when I attempt to take a picture.

### 1/5 — It is terrible

*2020-05-01, version 2.6*

I have been working on angles and how to use a protractor in school,but since we are in quarantine I have to use one online. IT DOES NOT TELL ME THE CORRECT ANSWER SO IN THAT CASE,I HAVE A BAD GRADE IN MATH THANKS TO YOUR CRAPPY APP.

### 1/5 — Can you let me change the default image?

*2018-04-08, version 2.6*

Why should I always have to see a dead rat when I start this app?

### 2/5 — Feature Request [updated]

*2021-10-06, version 2.6*

Update:
A year has passed, and sadly my Feature Request has been ignored … The App is therefore unusable for many of measurements I wish to take.
Rating downgraded from four stars to two stars.

Original Review:
This is an amazingly useful little App, but it would be even better if the size and location of the Protractor, and position of the text could be adjusted. 1. On my iPad Pro 9.7” the circle is always centred on the screen. 2. For small angles, the on-screen text overlaps. 3. The circle could usefully be 50% bigger diameter. It very good ... but it could be great !! If you can provide contact details, I would be happy to discuss. Thanks

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-12-03, version 2.6*

Good app but should change the front cover of the app

### 4/5 — Almost perfect.

*2021-09-18, version 2.6*

Needs to be able to resize the photo.

### 4/5 — Nice but...

*2020-07-28, version 2.6*

Pretty good overall but where the heck is the zoom in?

### 4/5 — Great app, does exactly what you'd expect.

*2017-05-08, version 2.6*

Would give 5 stars if you were able to view the degrees in live mode, but it's great and it's free.

### 5/5 — Simple and it works

*2023-03-18, version 2.6*

It does what it says and comes in handy.

### 5/5 — Nice and easy to use

Would love to be able to zoom the picture within the app .  Other than that - this is fantastic - the elegance of simplicity

### 5/5 — Brilliant.

*2021-11-15, version 2.6*

Brilliant gadget.

### 5/5 — Great No Nonsense Protractor App

*2021-04-25, version 2.6*

I have been examining some downloaded technical drawings that didn’t indicate angle measurements.  This simple but very useful app made it possible for me to measure the various angles within the drawings.  I highly recommend this app for anyone needing to know angle measurements in drawings or photos.

### 5/5 — Osperez

*2020-12-06, version 2.6*

This app it’s just freaking awesome, that’s all I can say. Thanks guys

*2020-08-10, version 2.6*

Better than I thought it would be. I especially like the ability to move the protractor and reset the starting angles. Works great. Love it!

*2019-12-15, version 2.6*

*2019-11-27, version 2.6*

Cool

### 5/5 — Vera nice

*2019-10-10, version 2.6*

Works perfectly. Make sure your angle is close to the camera when you use a picture though.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-08-29, version 2.6*

Very useful and easy to use.  No ads.  Just wish you could change the app's default background image.
