Extremely inaccurate, said my pen was .0054 feet long. That would be .0648 inches. If it worked it could also benefit from an option to see the measurement in inches, not just cm or ft. ### 1/5 — Lacks features *2025-01-08, version 1.2* Cannot increase the size of dimensions or pic (too small to see). Need some instructions also. ### 1/5 — no instructions *2025-01-08* could not figure it out. deleted ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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! ### 1/5 — Absolute trash *2025-01-08* 1) cannot read the results overlaid in the image. Font is white, very fine, very thin 2) window at the top will display when set for cm; however stays 0 when set for ft 3) cannot zoom to refine image 4) noisy image Don’t waste your time. This is clearly a work in progress. Maybe it will be decent further down the road, but, what with so many competing, FUNCTIONING AR tape measures out there, right now it’s a bottom feeder. ### 1/5 — How do you cancel this *2025-01-08* There doesn’t seem to be be anyway to cancel this app that was purchased in error ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-01-08* No instructions on how to use ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2025-01-08* Just for it for an iPhone 16 Pro with IOS 18.2.1 and it doesn’t work at all. No instructions. I tape locations but that doesn’t seem to work. Don’t know if the app just doesn’t work or I don’t know how to use it. But, it doesn’t work at all. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 2/5 — No instructions *2025-01-08, version 1.2* I can’t rate it properly because I can’t figure out how to use it. Instructions need to be included or a contact us option. So right now it’s not useful to me. ### 2/5 — Inverted? *2025-01-08* This doesn’t work at all like I thought it would. And all numbers and measurements are inverted, like I’m looking in a mirror and it is all backwards. What is going on? There are no options to change this, and why would this even be a thing. No one wants everything backwards and unreadable. ### 2/5 — Could Be Useful…If… *2025-01-08* Measuring by feet is available but not by inches. So, for us Yanks, it’s lacking and pretty much worthless. Adding inches should not be an afterthought. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
