Tape Measure® Reviews

by Bw2004

Every time I have tried to measure a distance, half way through it loses inches and the length ends up short than the object is. I was measuring a straight object, it got to 3.2 feet and suddenly showed 2.7 feet instead. So instead of the correct length it was too short. I tried several times, even moving very slowly and steadily. The last time the total was heading to what I expected it to be but right at the end it dropped a foot.

I downloaded TapeMeasure and it only shows the slide ruler option. The slide ruler option must be manually moved (with your finger). I’ve tried it on multiple surfaces, nothing happened except my finger got a workout. I’m not sure what the purpose of TapeMeasure is. It says additional features require the ARKIT app. So basically TapeMeasure shows what a ruler looks like but has no other function.

The virtual tape measure works well, but the in screen tape measure wouldn’t work. More concerning is that TapeMeasure caused such a performance issue so bad, I couldn’t remove TapeMeasure or restart my iPhone. Eventually, my iPhone caught up and I was able to remove TapeMeasure . The performance issue was solved by removing TapeMeasure. Cannot recommend.

TapeMeasure isn’t able to measure anything. It keeps telling me to scan the area. So I spend several minutes trying to scan the area being careful not to scan too fast because then TapeMeasure loses tracking. As soon as it is finally ready to measure it loses tracking and I have to scan the area again. I finally just deleted TapeMeasure and used a tape measure instead.

I don’t find this tool accurate or usable. The top of the screen on an iPhone 11 is cut off and the measurement is unreadable. Floor plans do not show the camera view and are only dots with lines between. Great ads though. The tape measure graphic keeps going away to only a line and the line has no data on it. The free measure app in iOS is more usable. Sry, I was hoping this was better.

For things close up, about 12-15” it is accurate. Step 3 feet away, and it was consistently off by 3/4” to 2”. Better to just do things old fashion, and use a tape measure. Even after getting a decent reference measurement, take a few steps back of the same an it is off.

This is an ambitious app (well it appears that way, although it's possible that all the impressive programming is provided by Apple's AR frameworks), but it fails miserably at times. For example, it's really cool that I can visualize (virtual) furniture in a (real) room, but the fact that the furniture refuses to rest on the floor and instead floats in the air means I'm going to go looking for a different app. This showed me what is possible with available AR apps, but it didn't deliver. Keep looking, or test an updated version to see if they've fixed it since I wrote this...

I gave TapeMeasure 5 stars for its accuracy alone. I tested another one but immediately deleted it the measurements ray off. My question is, would you ever consider adding percent of slope? I’m a golfer so I would really love that. Thanks

I haven’t been using TapeMeasure very long but before I saw it I was just about to order a digital tape measure, I found TapeMeasure, I tried it and I was immediately impressed and I love it.
I always have my phone or tablet around and never a tape measure till now with TapeMeasure.

Helpful, user friendly and when it wasn’t there was a tutorial right at your fingertips.

Down loaded several apps, tried them all. This was easy to use, accurate, and great features and capabilities. Jay/Seattle

I used to have an earlier version of AR measure app that didn’t do an accurate job long time ago. I’m surprised that TapeMeasure has an accurate measurement and a looot of functions that you can give a try. I like it without the ADs in most pages, but hope to have a “share TapeMeasure ” button somewhere that I can easily share it with my friends. Good job!

This thing works. If you need total perfection, you probably shouldn’t be using your phone, but for quick and easy estimates, it’s awesome.

What I really appreciate, however, is the fact that it’s free. He could’ve charged, but he didn’t. So I thank you very much for giving this to us!

Watched to quick video and was measuring things within two minutes. Totally cool!!

I never write reviews I must say this is the best app ever! Makes measuring so easy especially if I’m out I want to get measurements of furniture or the like. Definitely worth it enjoy

by Rv Lover

I usually never write reviews may just give 5 stars and go on..., but I had to write something up for this awesome app that help me measure up my kitchen counters to order some drawers insert when I hadn’t have any measuring tape at my new home... this is an incredibly easy to use!! Love it!!

by QuinnTanna0227

TapeMeasure is really awesome and convenient. I have used a regular tape measure to see if the tap measure on TapeMeasure is accurate and it is. I actually like this better than a real one.

It’s fun to play around with and I was in my backyard and went to the metal detector thing and pointed my phone to the ground it said there was something so I started digging and I found a screw so yeah very cool app

by Marcaurellius

All of these reviews that say it doesn’t work are either idiots, liars, or people with iPhone 6 or below. The coolest thing I’ve found in TapeMeasure is the stud finder/metal detector. I’ve been playing with that crap for hours now.

by Entinc

This is the best app I’ve ever used for this type of thing. No ads and completely free!
Worth sending them a donation on the option it gives in TapeMeasure .

TapeMeasure is terrible it give me the instructions to slide the iPhone and slide the screen. Doesn’t let me get past that. I have an iPhone 5s and the instructions had an iPhone X. Maybe that’s the problem...🤯 But that’s the only good reason why it might not work but it had it in the Apple Store... Just don’t waste your time and download TapeMeasure!

by Alan Layne

Looked like a great app to watch the videos of what it can do. Said it would work on this iPhone. However upon opening TapeMeasure after it downloaded it said ARKIT features unavailable. Virtual ruler and other tools require ARKit. 🤔 Too bad it didn’t say that anywhere before getting it. 👎 I’m using an iPhone 6 model MG4R2LL/A with version 12.1.4. Bummer. 🙁

Frustrating and useless would be how I describe TapeMeasure. Can’t see any way this could be more accurate than eyeing it, or even guessing. Maybe with the paid version... although there really seemed to be no documentation on how to use the deee version or what was needed to use the paid features. Buy a mini tape measure for your keychain, it will do more good!

We just a little common sense, most people will find this to be a good application. The electronic instruments in smart phones will only allow good approximations, but these approximations are good enought to be useful in many applications.

Whenever we install something it is super safe and easy!

Out shopping for furniture and it’s so handy to be able to see how long a sofa is or how wide a table is without having to ask for a salesman’s help.

This is 2019 fellas

I don’t normally review apps but... I’ve literally been playing with this thing for the past hour and want the world to know it’s amazing.

There are a lot of useful functionalities in TapeMeasure, including at least 3 ways to measure things. My favorite and most surprising functionality is 3D drawing in the air!

by Nm2b

I rarely write reviews but wanted to share how thrilled I am with TapeMeasure. Easy to use, accurate, and no nonsense. Do not hesitate to get this!!!
