### 5/5 — Please read 🙏

*2019-05-25, version 1.3*

I would like to be able to have horizontal reference lines that I can move to measure small objects more accurately on the screen.  Example: screws, nuts, coins.

**Developer response:** Hi, as I say in email message, now I workaround this bug on XR models, I plain upload it today or tomorrow. 
 Sorry for bad experience, update will be uploaded within 2 days as promise.

### 4/5 — Application is excellent

*2018-06-21, version 1.0*

I gave it four stars so that I could leave room for improvements.

I love the application and it worked better after I used “placers” to track the distance.

I had used a piece of paper I had ripped, also a straight edge box to place where it was before and after.

The simplicity makes the “app” feel advanced and I liked the fun of it.
