RulerPhone - Photo Measuring App Reviews

If you use it for fequent measuring things, dont buy this. this doesnt measure items correctly. I tried it on my macbook pro 17 inch, and it marked the length was 11 inches... wat so weird this app would do to me.

Pretty accurate. Love the distance from object feature. However, it will only work if I have something the size of a credit card at that point i would like to measure. Was hoping it could replace a range finder :-) Anyway, great app. A little pricy though...

A great example of how people come up with great app ideas you would never think of!

We tested this product and to help us was a contractor and the item out of 45 items used for measuring and 20 items for distance. NOT ONE "PASSED" and "FAILED" buy a tape measure if you want it right. The ruler did not even get close. Poor product design. If this product was free you would still lose as it takes up hard drive space on your iphone. GRADE F

Just this morning I remembered this neat little app I bought "just to have" when I was measuring a boat for vinyl lettering. Instead of taking a dozen measurements while hanging off the edge of a boat, I can just get a picture and go back to the comfort of my office to fit the letters around all those infernal hatches, cleats, and etc. Very nice! I find its accurate enough, certainly more so than I expected, and more accurate the better you set up your shot. No, its not for tight-tolerance type work, but who would expect it to be? Its a neat, convenient little app thats worth well more than the pocket change it costs.

On a 3GS, all measurements are off by about 20%. My guess is that the application needs to be upgraded to deal with the higher camera and screen resolution on the 3GS.

The free version worked fine, but I just bought the full version and I cant take new pictures. I have to use the regular camera and then use the picture in my library. But other than that the app does work great. It may not be 100% accurate, but its fine for estimates, which is all Id really need it for anyway. Ill give it 5 stars when they fix it.

I used it to take a picture of a credit-card on a box from straight-up, and then could use that space relation to measure the whole box. For USPS ClicknShip. If I knew where the measuring tape was itd be faster. But given that I was temporarily at a loss and didnt feel like looking for it, well there you go! Thanks! Great invention.

There has to be an easier way to measure. Not sure how they came up with the $3.99 price tag, but it has the feel of a free app.

I measured an item BEFORE using this tool. TOTALLY WRONG. No where near the actual measurement I took manually. It also keps crashing on me! This should have been .99

Never did get it to work.

This app is the biggest piece of trash I ever downloaded. Its like throwing 3.99 in the trash. Dont be fooled by this app

worst app ever

This is my first review ever. I never leave them because I dont ever have time usually. I felt the news to leave one for this app though just to let all of you who are thinking about buying this app how terrible it is.

This I my first review as well, do not waste your money. App is incorrect in its description and $4 is embarrassing. I regret this purchase, do NOT make the same choice I did

This app is perfect. Check out the free version and measure a sheet of paper. Read the instructions. No I didnt make this app, but as a app developer I hate when other developers or not so smart people that didnt take a second to understand the app give a false negative rating. Good job on this app. Its worth the money.

Measurements are completely inaccurate. Dont waste your money like I did. It amazes me how there is no consumer protection for fraud on the app store. This developer should have to refund all the people he lied to. At least offer it for free to get feedback while developing then it would be understandable. If I knew I had to pay to be a beta tester I would never have purchased this crap!!!!! Arghhh!!! Beware... Free trial works decently but purchased version which supposedly allows you to measure longer distances is not accurate at all.

This is the first ruler app Ive tried that measures significant distances and does so fairly accurately. You have to follow the instructions carefully -- I think those that had trouble may be skipping these -- but once you do, it works.

Complete waste of money. Does not work!!!!!!!!!

Recommended for folks who are comfortable with a little geometry and optics. The credit card has to be as close to parallel with the camera as possible, and centered as well as possible in the frame. Light conditions also have to be reasonably good. Once all your ducks are in a row, you can get a pretty good measurement using only an iPhone and a credit card. Rots a ruck!!
