### 1/5 — Can’t Recommend

*2025-09-04*

Could not get a single useful measurement using this app. Despite numerous reviews complaining about the lack of instructions, there are STILL no instructions to be found. Changing settings to imperial (feet) reverts back to metric with each use.

### 1/5 — Purchased lifetime but unable to use without another purchase

*2025-01-12, version 1.2*

I purchased the lifetime option a few days ago and now that I’d like to use this app, it’s asking for a purchase to continue.

### 1/5 — useless

*2025-01-11*

a) ABSOLUTELY NO INSTRUCTIONS. No idea how this “works”, or if it does.

b) occasionally places numbers on the object - in a font SMALLER, FAINTER, than I thought possible. No zoom. 

In no way is this app useful

### 1/5 — Absolute Junk

*2025-01-11*

No instructions and can’t read the measurements. Delete!

### 2/5 — Great idea, but doesn’t work

*2025-01-09*

Looks like a wonderful app, but I either couldn’t figure out how to work it, or it just plain doesn’t work. I looked for instructions, but there were none. I would be happy to revise this rating later, but the most I can do is give two stars for a good idea.

### 2/5 — No instructions

*2025-01-09*

Can’t figure out how to use this app.  When I do connect two points on the camera view the font is so small I can’t read what it says.  Can’t figure out how to zoom in or take a snapshot of the measurements.  It may be a great app but there are zero instructions on how to
Use this app.  Definitely not worth paying for at this time.  Should have a demonstration or something in the app to help you get started but there is nothing.  Deleting.

### 4/5 — Handy app

*2025-01-09*

but the prices are abysmal

### 3/5 — Needs instructions

*2025-01-09*

Looks like if I can figure out how to use the app it would be great.

### 1/5 — NO

*2025-01-09*

Didn’t work for me!

### 1/5 — Instructions needed!!

*2025-01-09*

I consider myself to be a fairly intelligent person. But I cannot figure out, for the life of me, how to use this app! Why are there no instructions?  I don’t understand what those yellow floating dots are for or why touching the screen produces red dots.  Please advise!
