But, I’m nit picking. It’s really good, really useful, and never crashes. I hope the dev does some updates soon! ### 3/5 — Great Idea but Frustrating to use *2020-01-21, version 5.1.0* User interface is frustrating to use. Imported image is automatically cropped. When setting scale, reference part of the image cant be close to the edge of the screen. No option to delete drawn line. No option to re set scale. Have to delete and redraw everything. Just use the app. Appreciate the result it give you. Forget about it. Save yourself from growing white hairs. ### 2/5 — Can’t register *2019-10-28, version 5.1.0* Won’t let me register so it’s useless. Was nice when I could use it. ### 3/5 — Option to buy *2019-05-25, version 5.1.0* Try logging in after downloading last night and no option to purchase? ### 2/5 — البرنام كان كويس *2017-11-28, version 4.7* البرنامج فكرته ممتازه ولن صاحب البرنامج توقف عن دعمه ### 1/5 — Awful *2017-03-13, version 4.7* Don't buy, waste of money. Can't really control anything such as angle between lines to get a true area ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2016-09-21, version 4.7* Dont waste your money, too hard to use. ### 3/5 — Need more work *2016-09-07, version 4.7* Initially Very frustrating to use - however I did keep with it after posting a 2 star review and eventually got the hand its quirks. Does what I need it to do (quickly measure lots of plans) , but could use a bit of work on the UI / UX still. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2016-09-01, version 4.7* It should allow you to draw any shape and then input your own dimensions for each line using a keypad (not draggers). ### 1/5 — Should have read the reviews *2016-05-24, version 4.7* PDF's do not load in full resolution PDF's do not load the correct way up Drop Box does not link correctly And when all else fails you can't copy photos from the pasteboard. ### 1/5 — Garbage Like The Website *2015-07-14, version 4.7* This app works just as badly as the freaking website. Total lack of control, confusing interface and it screws up all the time. Downloaded cause I couldn't get the website to work AGAIN!!! Don't waste your money. Grab a $1 ruler and do it yourself. ### 1/5 — Worst app *2015-05-23, version 4.7* Waste of money dont download ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2015-02-18, version 4.7* Great idea. Difficult to use. ### 1/5 — How did this app Get approved *2014-10-28, version 4.7* I don't write many app reviews, but this app was so terrible I had to... Such a waste of money, it doesn't even work. ### 1/5 — ???? *2014-05-18, version 4.7* You can't actually draw anything but a single line then it just drags. Waste of $4.99 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2025-01-21, version 5.1.2* Keeps asking me to log in, then when I enter my details and hit log in it takes me to a website saying “oops that page can’t be found”. Very frustrating! ### 1/5 — No *2024-09-25, version 5.1.2* You can’t edit your line length until you draw an enclosed shape. Useless. ### 1/5 — Crap *2023-09-19* No reviews in 3 years so figured I’d try and see if the developer has made an improvements. Nope. The Google map doesn’t interface with the app and it crashes everytime. Couldn’t even get beyond that part so don’t know about the other features. ### 1/5 — Developer has abandoned app, no longer functional *2023-08-09, version 5.1.2* All google api’s in app are broken and make the app useless ### 1/5 — Not worth the download *2022-11-06, version 5.1.2* This app has a great idea but does not function properly at all. You can not export / save maps or images. You can not zoom in or out on the map. Just a waste of data & time. ### 1/5 — Need a lot of improvement *2022-08-18, version 5.1.2* Not intuitive at all, need to have a better pick/slide finger tool. Can't edit dot origine until you complete the area. Never figured out how to change the scale ... Deleted after 15 mins Hoooo and by the Apple, this app never ask permission to get access to my photo library 😮 ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-07-17, version 5.1.2* Useless ### 1/5 — Upgrade paid app *2018-05-22, version 5.0.0* I paid for the “legacy” app but the iOS 11 update made the app unusable. After almost a year the developer finally updates and low and behold it’s now $99 a year and I cannot use the one I had originally paid for! ### 1/5 — UPDATE *2018-03-15, version 4.7* UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE ### 1/5 — someone should really take this down *2017-08-05, version 4.7* Don't get! This is no longer supported and won't run on your phone! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really useful *2020-11-26, version 5.1.2* I’m an architecture student who needed to measure a site but due to lockdown (COVID 19) I haven’t been able to access it, I’ve been trying to scale up google earth and maps but was really struggling on an iPad as its so touch sensitive. I’m not even sure why this app is free but thank god it is. You have saved me. 🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Works great *2019-06-16, version 5.1.0* It did what I needed and was surprised it was free. Seems to have some good options. Pretty easy to use. Thanks for the app :) ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2019-06-13, version 5.1.0* really helped me calculate my property size... ### 5/5 — How to register *2019-01-05, version 5.1.0* How to work sketchcalac. How to register to work it? Thanks ### 5/5 — Powerful *2018-09-29, version 5.1.0* I’m a layperson and needed to figure the area of an irregular shaped deck. It easily and accurately did what I needed. I had to poke around a bit to get to what I needed but the pop up instructions led me to where I needed to be each time. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — T *2013-07-13, version 4.6* Very useful with ease if use when combined with camera on old diagrams I find it very convenient on odd shapes ### 5/5 — Excellent & easy to use *2013-05-03, version 4.6* What more can I say. Very easy to use and the area calculation is a joy to use. ### 5/5 — Calc *2013-03-02, version 4.4* Awesome tool Great for on job site calculations ### 5/5 — Hermann *2013-01-23, version 4.4* I have a similar piece of software that does everything featured in the app. Mine just does not run on my iPad. A few features specific to my needs would be good. Otherwise a neat app ### 5/5 — Excellant. A new tool in my surveyors bag! *2013-01-04, version 4.4* I'm a professional engineer and a land surveyor. I'm now using this app in the field and office for making "house footprint" field notes. I am loving it. My only suggestion: the ability to turn on an "orthometric" mode, where we can hold right angles either to the "left" or to the "right." We can set the grid, and "snap to the grid," but that can get tricky with scale changes. Overall I am pleased, and will continue to use this app and support the development. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
