Ruler, Measuring Tape - AR App Reviews

by Scott1155

IPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15.2 - This ruler was the best ruler on RulerMeasuringTape Store and now this latest update has destroyed it. The ruler looked beautiful with it’s dark theme on both my iPad and iPhone. Now with the latest update this ruler has a large white bar constantly displaying ads. There is no way to disable the ad bar that has destroyed this ruler. Why not offer the option to make a one time purchase to remove the ads? I can understand the need to make money on apps, but this large white bar displaying constant ads destroyed all of the great work you put into this ruler. Time for me to find a new ruler app without the ads.

I was going to use this to measure my wrist with a piece of string to order a watch band being that I’m stuck at work without a tape measure so figured why not try an app.. it’s about 2 inches shy on RulerMeasuringTape . I thought the inches looked a little big at first…

Despite the name mentioning no ads, RulerMeasuringTape is only ad-free if you buy the premium version

For some reason the inches were much larger than actual inches. I don’t know how much they were off but I felt they were at least twice too large. A beautiful and simple app, but useless as a substitute for a ruler (unless I missed a calibration feature). I’m using an iPad Pro 3 generation.

Just installed RulerMeasuringTape and paid the $1.99 to get rid of the ads... I guess the developer (s) is/are German, which is fine; don't care, but no English version of a YouTube instructional video...?

I just start using it, but when you click on the protractor tool it redirects you to a webpage that send you to Amazon page to buy a protractor. The page description says no advertising, and I think redirecting you to buy something is a very sneaky advertisement. Very disappointed.

RulerMeasuringTape does not have more measurements to choose from and once the screen is maximized, you can’t minimize it or use another app. Does not respond to touch comment to change vids or close it

On the 2021 iPad Pro 11 inch, all the measurements are about 50% too long, so RulerMeasuringTape is useless to me. It’s a shame because I like the design, and I love that it has no ads.

I love RulerMeasuringTape on my phone. The look is great and the measurements are spot on. Just downloaded it on my new ipad though and the measurements are way off so it’s useless for the ipad unfortunately. Hope they fix it.

Super great app, works smoothly and easily. I just wished there was an options for mm (millimeters) as I find myself needing to measure in mm a lot. So I have to rely on another far more clunkier app to do that.

That one complaint is the reason for 4 stars, it seems to me mm ought to be a given with inches & cm.

As a it would be nice to have a high doesn’t effect the rating is an option to have decimal inches as an option alongside the fractional that is already in RulerMeasuringTape .

If those two things were added, RulerMeasuringTape would be the best all around and my go to for everything is measure under 4.5”.

I have used this numerous times and it is very handy; however, it does need improvements which I have suggested below:

1. When in English scale, there should be an option to read out fractional measurements as currently shown OR in DECIMAL format with the ruler etchings changed accordingly. Example: 0.22 in.

2. The scale size adjustment is overly sensitive making if hard to adjust to 1:1. I would suggest allowing numerical entry or Reset to 1.000 button.

3. Grid line are very difficult to see. Need to brighten/darken so they can be see easier.

4. Allow grid rotation to be frozen when the user is not actually measuring an object at angles. Enable or Disable or Freeze.

I think that these suggestions would go a long way to improve the current version of RulerMeasuringTape and I would bump the rating to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

I had been using a different ruler app for quite a while but it didn’t support the current version of iOS (14.5.1) on my iPhone 8. I tried a few other ruler apps which did not satisfy but this one is excellent. Intuitive interface with sliders for accuracy and clear display of current measurement between sliders. Very nice.

Simple and accurate. Easy to use,cheap to buy. What is not to like?

Unlike many of the other “free” ruler apps, it does not time out unless you upgrade. It is truly a free app. Inches are correctly divided. Easy to switch between cm and inches. I deleted the other ruler apps. This one is the keeper. Thanks for a simple, practical app.

by JennS525

It’s a great ruler app. It comes free. No ads. No gimmicks. Seriously Mr/s Creator you should add an update that has a non-mandatory in app purchase where users can send you a few bucks as a tip. I’d definitely send you one because RulerMeasuringTape is such a handy thing to have and it’s worth it!

I’ve tried several ruler apps and this one has been in my top 2 favorites. It’s intuitive, precise, pretty, and has more features than other ones I’ve used, like the ability to save measurements you’ve made.

Just a couple of suggestions - as awful as the imperial system is, we here in the US are stuck with it. I wish there were a way to set the default unit to inches so the ruler would stay on inches instead of reverting back to centimeters the next time you use it. Also, it would be nice if there were a way to remove the red markers from the screen so you could have a clean look when desired, although they can be very useful.

All in all, well done, devs!

It took me a few tries to figure this out, but I eventually got it. I set it up directly under a tape measure to guide me along. LOL. 👍
