★★★★★ "Doesn't measure anything. I don't get it - this app doesn't actually measure anything. It's just a graphic app which lets you add measurements to objects in photos. The iPhone already has that functionality built into screenshots." - Paul Horne

Doesn’t measure anything
I thought this app would take measurements of objects after calibrating by inputting the size of an object with a known size. However it doesn’t measure anything. It’s just an app that lets you draw lines and make notes on your photo. Useless for my purposes.
Misleading name
This app does not take measurements. It is only an app for superimposing measurements that you have taken by hand onto a photo.

Not consistent
For $$… this app is awful. I wish I could get my money back. The measurements are ALL WRONG and the little toggle marker floats all over the place. It’s VERY frustrating. Not worth ANY money. I would have given it NO STARS… but it needed something to move forwarded. ANNOYED.
Disappointed
Spent hours measuring my large and very complex back yard then inputting the data into this app using a drone photo. All seemed to be ok for two days, but now the measurements are not lining up over the photo properly-they show up a good inch lower on the photo and there’s no fixing it. I’ve restarted the app and my phone to see if it’s just a simple glitch, but it’s not solving the issue. I’ve emailed the app, though doubt I’ll hear back. My other complaint is that when you export the measured photo the data is too jumbled to read. Best used on simple, larger scale photos like a room. Sigh. What a disappointment and waste of my time.
After years of working, it has died
The app no longer works to input words, numbers or anything other than drawing arbitrary lines. Really disappointing. My company depended on this.
Lame App-No bluetooth, Old Technology
Can’t send measurements from laser measuring tool (Bosch GLM50C) via Bluetooth. I bought this app assuming it would be better than Bosch’s FREE app, but it’s not. With the Bosch tool, measurements automatically transmit, thereby saving a great deal of time to enter manually. Mistakes are ofter made keying in data to a picture of a window or wall. Use the Bosch Measure and Document free app and prevent keying mistakes in your projects.
Deceptive Marketing
When I purchased this $7 photo measure app I assumed that it would calculate the measurements in the photo. Silly me. It does not. It merely allows you to take a picture, draw lines, and enter your own measurements. This is something that can be done with any basic photo editor for free. Don’t waste your money.
IT DOES NOT MEASURE YOUR PICS
IT DOES NOT MEASURE YOUR PICTURES.
YOU HAVE TO PUT THE MEASUREMENTS MANUALLY.
THE DESCRIPTION IS NOT ACCURATE.

Batch uploads
I need to batch uploads. Uploading one by one is not efficient for me.
DOES NOT MEASURE - note taking app
This app doesn’t measure anything - it allows you to draw measurements onto photos. You will still need to get all measurements by hand or by another App!
No delete button or I couldn’t find it
I took a wrong picture but app didn’t let me delete that picture, I had to delete the app to get rid off that picture, can I get my money back?
Doesn’t measure anything
I thought this app would help me get measurements. It doesn’t. All it does is take a picture, then you can write on it to add the measurements you take on your own. Not worth $7! You can do it for FREE with the regular iPhone camera, then edit and markup the photo.
Don’t waste any money on this!!
Don’t waste any money on this!!
I can't download the app. I payed yesterday and I still haven't yet the app.
I'll change the review as soon I have in my phone.
Do not buy! Doesn't actually measure
This is a total fake app and I fell for it. It doesn't actually measure anything, it simply allows you to input measurements you've already taken.
Great except...
I used to think this was a 4.5/5 star app. Until I accidentally deleted a measurement and came to realize there is no undo function anywhere to be found. Perhaps my fault. Sure. But what a drag it was to have to drive back to the job site just for that simple mistake. PLEASE ADD AN UNDO BUTTON!
