App Freezes

The app freezes my entire phone every time I launch the app.

Frozen

I am amazed with the apps concept but I am having some issues with my iphone X,
1) when i try to measure something it doesn’t give me accurate measuremnts what i got by a measuring tap!
2) After using 2/3 minutes it freezes my phone!
3) When i close this apps it freezes my phone for almost 30 seconds!
It’s still happening after your latest update last day!

Works well

This isn't half bad. I don't know if I can use this for critical measurements but I think I can for quick and dirty measurements. Thanks dev.

Response from developer

Thank you! That is exactly what this app is designed for 😊

Bricked

Within a minute it bricked my phone. Not sure how this won an award.

Hello matthewch4, Please tell me what device you are using so I can look into this further. Thank you.

Can’t tell depth so it can’t measure

First, try measuring a ruler to see how useless this app is. Next, it crashes hard totally freezing your phone.

If it can’t tell depth, when you place the first point you’ll notice the point is at some arbitrary distance from you and when the second point is also at some arbitrary distance, then you’re measuring the distance between two arbitrary points in space i.e. close or far from you vs the distance between two points along a wall.

Response from developer

Hello Chic606, the app is using Augmented Reality technology which is not always perfect. If you pan your phone around your environment, have good lighting and do not move your phone too fast, you will find improved performance. I can assure you that the app is not measuring at some arbitrary distance.
