Turn your iPhone or iPad into a calibratable digital ruler for measuring small objects directly on the screen. Screen Ruler supports centimeters and inches, magnifier-assisted alignment, and haptic feedback. Measure Small Objects on Your Screen Use Screen Ruler for stationery, frames, craft materials, and other small objects that fit along your device screen. Place the object directly on the screen, move the measurement marks to its edges, and read the length. Core Features • Calibratable ruler: Match the scale to an object of known length and save calibration for your device. • CM and inch scales: Switch between centimeters and inches for everyday measurements. • Magnifier assist: Align measurement marks with object edges more confidently. • Haptic feedback: Feel subtle feedback while adjusting the marks. How to Get More Reliable Results For best results, place the object directly on the screen and check the scale against a known length. Calibrate the ruler if you notice an offset. Accuracy and Limitations Screen Ruler is designed for short, everyday measurements. Accuracy depends on device calibration, screen placement, and how precisely the marks are aligned. It does not use the camera or AR and is not intended for measuring rooms or large objects. Feedback: ankek1er@gmail.com

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Measuring Tape +ㅤ at 4.8 against Screen Ruler's 3.7. Measuring Tape +ㅤ also leads on ratings volume (5.3K vs 26) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Screen Ruler's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Measuring Tape +ㅤ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Measuring Tape +ㅤ has 5.3K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Screen Ruler's written reviews are positive against 50% of Measuring Tape +ㅤ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Screen Ruler ships an update every 3 months, Measuring Tape +ㅤ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
