Tape Measure™

Inaccurate measurements and deceptive setup that makes it seem like there is no free option. Combined with the 3-day free trial and high yearly fee this seems designed to trick people out of their money. Edited to add - My apologies for confusing the subscription period to be monthly instead of annually. I have corrected this above. I stand by the rest of my review and find it off putting that the developer responds to users reporting challenges by insisting the app is easy to use. I did use the tutorial before trying the measuring feature; I still could not get an accurate result. Moreover, while a $30/year fee is much less crazy than $30/month I still find it excessive for the functionality offered, and it is sketchy the way setting up a pro subscription appears to be required to proceed to use the app. Other apps make it much easier to use free features and clearer when you are opting in to paid services. Although I realized what had happened and was easily able to end my subscription, it’s clear from the reviews that others have been billed because they either didn’t know they’d subscribed or were unfamiliar with how to unsubscribe and I think that’s deceptive. If the developers are so sure their tutorial will address everyone’s complaints I’d encourage them to promote it instead of pushing the pro subscription and let users seek out the latter on their own or as they try to access the paid features. I will not be using this app again.

This app totally blew me away from the moment I opened it and saw that it wasn't like all the other so-called ruler apps. I've downloaded countless of them, all claiming to be AR enabled measurement apps, yet every single one of them was either too difficult to learn and/or use or they simply didn't work at all. Either way, none of them lasted more than 30 minutes on my phone. Honestly, I was expecting one of those outcomes when I decided to try this app as a last ditch effort at having a working, reliable ruler on my iPhone. You know what it took for me to learn to use this app? A 17-SECOND HOW-TO VIDEO THAT'S AVAILABLE FROM THE SETTINGS PAGE. Hallelujah, Devs! You've earned my business for as long as you keep updating this app - oh! And that's the other thing! I'm usually such a tightwad, especially when it comes to paying subscription fees for the "Pro version" of any app - I can't believe I'm typing this, but I truly think this app is worth EVERY PENNY! Save yourself the headaches and just download it. (You can even take it for a free 3-day test-drive before you get billed for the annual fee.)

Wish I knew how much this app was. I bought some property and needed to stake off where my house was going and where the property perked and low and behold, I left my tape measure 40 miles away. 40 winding country miles at my house I currently own. So I thought surely someone has made an app for that! Found this and omg, I was saved! I was measuring hundreds of feet on my vacant land and it did beautifully! The septic inspector went out and when he called, said he’d be sending me the permit through email. Whew! I got it right! If the price is right, I’d buy the whole app because my house that’s being built, I will surely need it. But I’m not taking no 3 day trial if I don’t know what I will be charged after that! Give us a price
