Don’t be fooled
Asks for payment set up to even use
Stud finder
I wanted to use this to put up a coat rack. The app said there was a stud, there was not! I had to use anchors and will not be able to hang anything heavy or relocate it. Will be cancelling this before the 3 day trial is over and getting a real stud finder!
Hmmmm

Scam pricing

No stud finder
Advertises a stud finder that does not exist in the app.
Measuring your ring finger
So, imagine your going to measure your finger to figure out your ring size. However it only allows you to see a certain part of the measuring tool. Meaning it doesn’t allow you to see how far it actually goes. Plus it’s a waste of money doing that.
DON’T FORGET TO CANCEL
I got this app for ONE TASK and forgot all about it. This app costs $9 a WEEK. Almost $80 gone for an app I used once 😅. Make sure you remember to cancel when you’re done using it because at that price they’re obviously banking on you forgetting.
Ring size
Ring sizing is not accurate at all.
Scam!!
I was wrongfully charged!! The app wasn’t helpful at all and was a scam to take my money. I deleted the app the same day I downloaded it, why am I being charged? I want to report everyone involved. This is ridiculous that no one is helping me. This app needs to be taken down immediately. Giving people false information to steal $10 is crazy.
Require subscription
Not a free app.
Fake
Say it measured photos but doesn’t. Only measures live camera not preexisting images.
سيء

Nothing about this app is free
Don't waste your time downloading of you're looking for something free and quick
Bad review
Your app sucks how come it barely works and when i tried doing the 3 day trial for free it payed the montly one instead for 9.99$ you guys are scammers delete your app and never re put it back on the AppStore ever again
$9/week is theft
This app signed me up for a $9/week subscription without me knowing. I cancelled the free trial in the app immediately after downloading it, but somehow it didn’t cancel.
Separately - $9/week for a measuring tape is an absolute rip off. Easy 1-star earned by this company

Not for room measure
Downloaded to get measurement for kitchen and it was cumbersome getting the room area. Would not help with measuring room without cabinets. Especially the corners.
Blah
Wish I knew we couldn’t test before buying or whatever. Can’t even use it in a crunch. Here I was, holding a 300 pound tabletop looking for our level and all I had was my phone. Poor WiFi here- so a minute and a half later, you say it cost money…. No.
NOPE
Horrible, and in no way worth 8.99 a week.
No decibel meter
Inaccurate and misleading description- there is only a ruler - no measurement for sound.
Scam
Was charged $8.99 for free trial which was cancelled. Ridiculous.
Payed app
I could not use it because it force you to enroll on “free trial “ scam
Awful
It doesn’t work correctly and it charges you every week. I thought it was charging me once to use it all year like most other subscriptions, but it charged me every week nine dollars. Took me two weeks to figure out that it was happening, but this app is completely just a cheap people don’t fall for it.
Don’t do it
I used it once and got the free trial and immediately cancelled it after i couldn’t even measure what I wanted to. I go back and look at my statements and see around $50 has been taken out over the course of about 3-4 weeks. I really hope i get my refund back i cant believe i didn’t notice i need that money back.
Can’t turn level sideways
The level/bubble tool only works in profile orientation, which is very inconvenient for hanging items.
Don’t waste your time.
Waste of money and doesn’t work
Doesn’t work at all
Literally trying to measure one thing that is advertised that this app could do and it doesn’t work.
Warning!!!!! Trash App
This app is intentioned to bleed you dry by charging $10/week for its silly app! ! Do NOT use this app! They said I could cancel anytime, however after I DID cancel, they charged Me yet AGAIN!
Unstable and hard to use
Shaky and difficult to take measurements with one hand. Not user friendly. Don’t recommend.
A rip off
Downloaded this item did not work properly for me so I never used it. I downloaded it for the purpose of the free trial.. 2 to 3 days later I requested to cancel and they refuse to refund my 899.. I was understanding that it was a free trial and that there was no cost involved.. Just note that it is not a free trial. They charge you 899. For just downloading it. Very dissatisfied customer.
