Inches only with paid version??

My view has centimeters on both sides of the ruler, and a pop says pay $1.99 for both. I don’t see that mentioned in the app description here, and the screenshots misleadingly show both. One ⭐️.

was in cm asked for money for it to be changed into inches

Like my title said they had it in cm and I couldn't change it to inches without paying. I even tried to see how many cm are in inches but it was really hard to tell. It's free and no ads but still🙄
