Isn’t accurate and said try free but still charged me that day $9.99
Would never recommend!! I think it’s false advertisement to say try free then charge my account $9.99 same day! I used it and it wasn’t accurate. It was at least 2” off each time I measured things. Ended up going home and got my real tape measure and measured and cut the wood needed! Don’t waste your money!

Fail
Tap here prompt didn’t identify “here” location so tapping the prompt text failed to execute
App Does Not Measure Accurately
The app was easy to use but I couldn’t get it to measure anything correctly, so I used a tape measure which never fails.
zero . zero.
Just another money grab
Sucks
Sucks. Use another app.
Scam App
Scam app do not use. Waste of time.
Not user friendly
The app is not even intuitive. Poorly designed
Not accurate
Either I don’t know how to use the app or this thing is way off. It measured our living room at 5 feet
Scam
Had a free trial and canceled after one use and they tried to charge my card twice. They were unsuccessful. I have reported fraud to my bank. Apple will not help you.
Charged for a app I didn’t order
Can’t cancel this app this company is a scam.
Crazy
The fact that you guys are charging somebody a weekly payment to use a tape measure is freaking crazy
It’s a scam app
My kids downloaded the app and tried it out, it’s not working it’s supposed to be for him, tried to cancel the subscription but it was 1 hour late after deadline, got charged for the whole year subscription, now I have to call my bank to dispute the charge.
Useless
I can’t get it to do what I need.
Rip off
They charge me for two accounts and they refused to give me my money back. I see in one review they said you can request a return, but they denied me.
Don’t waste your time
Not worth the time to download. If it was free, still not worth it.
Horrible
I was trying to measure a peak roof line using this app. Every time I tried to measure using the app and I’ve made a triangle, it would shift the triangle so that it was completely not where it was before. This made it impossible to measure anything, rendering this tool useless. The help is non-existent.
Dishonest from the start.
This app claims to be free until you get it installed. Then it’s actually not free. They’ll let you try it on a limited basis for three days but only if you agree to their subscription service. Apple is supposed to protect us from this kind of false advertising that loops you into a monthly contract you don’t want. And the sad part is that I wouldn’t mind paying, I just will not put up with this level of deceit. Sell it honestly in the App Store and maybe.
