### 3/5 — Needs Update

*2022-03-23, version 3.1*

Export to cad option would be useful A bit outdated Ui When adding walls, 45 degree angle walls would be great
Option to add walls and windows would be great

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2020-09-22, version 3.1*

Seems good but can’t change units. Just Crashes.

### 2/5 — Very limited

*2020-02-14, version 3.0*

This rev is Very limited could be great, need to be able to add lines to mid points ie a wall coming off the perimeter wall, colour choice to high light doors windows at sort of item
To be able to add additional lines which is not connected to the perimeter.

### 5/5 — Tut was sie soll

*2019-07-22, version 2.9*

- alles gut. Okay die Verbindung zum Messgerät herstellen ist manchmal etwas knifflig, aber wenn es erstmal verbunden ist funktioniert alles tadellos.

### 1/5 — Keine Empfehlung

*2018-03-21, version 2.7*

App hängt sich ständig auf, verliert dauernd das Bluetooth vom lm 400, man kann keine Massen korrigieren bzw. Linien verändern. Totaler Schrott und nicht zu empfehlen.

### 2/5 — Hard to keep lines straight, or add new ones.

*2017-12-08, version 2.5.3*

I will keep looking elsewhere.

### 2/5 — Still needs work

*2017-02-06, version 2.5.1*

Really needs ability to delete line segments. If you mess up you might as well start again from scratch. Also needs the ability to enter in angles manually. Maybe even have a 45 degree snap feature when dealing with angled line segments.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2016-03-23, version 2.3*

I was looking for a way to easily capture room dimensions without a pencil and paper, and this is perfect! It took a little trial and error to learn how to draw shapes, but now that I've figured it out, it's super quick. My only request is a way to add text to exported pictures. Great app!

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2016-02-11, version 2.3*

Needs a operating manual. I have twice managed to get photos with the app but cant figure out how.

### 3/5 — A good start

*2015-10-17, version 2.3*

This app does what I want it to do, more or less.  I like how you can overlay dimensions on a photo.  It needs a little more functionality, like the ability to delete segments in your sketch, and an option to provide measurements in inches only, rather then feet and inches.
