Beware of $9.99 weekly charge
Downloaded for free and then started getting charged $9.99 every week
★★★★ Reveiwrrasddaa 4/6/2026 v4.08
No features are free
The only free feature is the one that’s already built in to iPhone. You can’t use the ruler without paying.
★★★★ Mngolfer1948 3/25/2026 v4.05
Not worth a damn
Do not download
★★★★ Bob the builder99011 3/19/2026 v4.05

★★★★ Islwiskbd 3/13/2026 v4.05

It’s in the title.
★★★★ Nike Jorda 3/9/2026 v4.05
bad experience
Even the function of turning on the flash has to be charged. It's really crazy about money.
★★★★ skateboardmom 2/21/2026 v4.05
Don’t
This app does nothing but lead you to apps ( fee) that promise to measure is this for real? How frustrating , don’t piss people off by lying to them and then expect them to buy more .
★★★★ Sophia_10001 2/17/2026 v4.05
Scam

★★★★ Bohhkigvjkb 2/16/2026 v4.05
Scam
I downloaded and then deleted this app at once and then it continued to charge me multiple times a month at time being 60$ a month. Don’t recommend.
★★★★ I8NYfish 2/15/2026 v4.05
Scam alert
$10/week. That’s the definition of a scam. The author claims free measuring… I could not find a way to load and use for free. I’m sure there is some way to do it if you know the secret. It demands agreeing to $10/week. Want to bet it’s nearly impossible to find how to cancel before ’trial’ week is over. Avoid this scammer.
To the author: Don’t bother replying, God blessed you with skills to make a great app, use those skills and make an honest dollar by asking for reasonable reconciliation for your product. In no world is $10/week justified. Your mother would be embarrassed if one of her friends downloaded your app.
★★★★ SfSasha 2/8/2026 v4.05
Money drain
Used once. Wasnt that useful. Just realized this app was charging me $8/week for i dont know how long. Absurd pricing. Be careful.
★★★★ Nope ropes 2/4/2026 v4.05
Genuine Ripoff
Save your money.
★★★★ SIM PLAYER 777BJ 2/3/2026 v4.05
WHY?!
Why the hell am I required to purchase the subscription. Make it a paid app at that point! Screw off with that!
★★★★ TiffTiffWal1997 1/29/2026 v4.05
Doesn’t work
I watched the tutorial and tried 20x and still unable to measure anything.
★★★★ li4m sharp 1/8/2026 v4.03
Bad
Why do you need to pay for this when there's already a free measuring spp
★★★★ vapaamies 12/28/2025 v4.02
Careful!
I didn’t notice nor would I ever imagine that this was $9.99 per week after the three day trial. I forgot to cancel after the trial ended and three weeks later I’m out 30 bucks for measuring my child one time.
★★★★ Strutgirl 12/26/2025 v4.02
Not good
It’s sooo stressful and not good
★★★★ Pops1234764 12/13/2025 v4.02
Glitchy
Cannot get any sort of stable or consistent reading with this app. Don’t waste your time or $
★★★★ PuzzleNerd10 11/16/2025 v4.02
Not for small measurements
Too difficult to measure specifically. Trying to get down to the nearest mm is impossible.
★★★★ WEADLSHDINS SHEI 11/13/2025 v4.02
Terrible
This app has been charging my credit card since April 2024. Absolute Fraud.
★★★★ napertyhjjygfddssaaertyhhhj 11/9/2025 v4.02

Not intuitive. Couldn’t get it to work for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️
★★★★ Dan West AB 10/21/2025 v4.02
$$ GREEDY!!
These FRAUDSTERS want you to pay $9.99/week otherwise you can’t use the app!!
★★★★ fjgdbu 10/10/2025 v4.02
Trash
I never purchased a subscription for this. Just downloaded never used it and it’s been drawing 9.99$ a week from my account for the last 3 months. Such a scam. Please do not DL this app
★★★★ Kumarva01 10/5/2025 v4.02
Level tool not great
iPhone won’t land due to camera so level tool is never level
★★★★ nomadsqd 10/2/2025 v4.02
Deceptive fee structure
After the “free” trail, I was charged then $9.99 in the rears, not once but twice. I was then subsequently charged $9.99 per week, not monthly.
★★★★ Benhdbc 9/21/2025 v4.01
Horrible
It could have been better if you didn’t have to pay for it
★★★★ Ali7971 9/20/2025 v4.01
remive this app

★★★★ Jackbv123 9/19/2025 v4.01
Bait and switch
Must register for $24 a year plan. If you want it free you have to cancel the plan almost immediately. Major rip off.
★★★★ 6inches? 9/6/2025 v4.0
9.99 a week
Forces you to sign up for a subscription that’s $9.99 per week. That’s ridiculous and predatory!
★★★★ Body slice 8/29/2025 v4.0
The measurement is not correct at all, please refund 9.99 dollars
I used this app when the ruler is not available handle, however when I borrow a ruler, the result was 10-20% difference in measurements. I want my money back!
★★★★ Tomcat3865 8/25/2025 v4.0
Useless
Lagging lagging lagging to many problems useless in even the simplest of operations
★★★★ Walker William Scobell 8/5/2025 v4.0
Horible

★★★★ Rukia80 8/2/2025 v4.0
Not free
Difficult to pin point item doesn't allow you to even try the other options because subscription
★★★★★ MsTiq33 4/30/2026 v4.10
Nothing works
I watched the video several times and no anchor appeared for me to start my measurements. I got all the yellow dots that is it. The leveler tool I am not sure where it is measuring to know if my items were level or not. The concept was cool but for me it was not user friendly.
★★★★★ your friend in real estate 1/13/2026 v4.03
Not real easy to use
The app was very confusing and not user-friendly. It wasn’t easy to figure out how to use it.
★★★★★ Angelnina74 11/11/2025 v4.02
🧐
Stated free but to use got to pay, I deleted it
★★★★★ mnonamishn 11/7/2025 v4.02
That’s weird
Tried to use this program to measure the band-width (like 44mm) to verify it with the right size. The Freeform point point measurement tool was really cludgy, unintuitive and was all over the place. I switched over to Manuel tape measure on screen and it was off by at least 7 mm… meaning it made the band look like it was a 32mm when it was closer to being a 40mm. Not good.
★★★★★ WellerRigg 11/6/2025 v4.02
Measure App
This app is not working for what I need. Cancel app I am deleting the app
★★★★★ Heaven14 11/1/2025 v4.02
Measuring app
Way too hard to get a good measure between two points.
