#63 top-grossing, Utilities
Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

Not free, overpriced forced subscription
★ · v4.21 · Oct 11, 2026Not free, overpriced forced subscription
It not good
★ · v4.21 · Oct 10, 2026Just measure ,no need for a app
What?!
★ · v4.21 · Oct 8, 2026It’s 40$ a month for this app!? Is that a joke?
Scame
★ · v4.21 · Oct 3, 2026You download the app works perfect. You go to use the app again and they wanna charge it monthly fee scam.
ripoff
★ · v4.21 · Oct 2, 2026scammy behavior. No real value.
Same table different angle of photo = wrong.
★★ · v4.21 · Oct 1, 2026Different angles measure the same table with a 4 cm discrepancy.
Too hard to use
★ · v4.21 · Sep 24, 2026No instructions are provided for using the app. Difficult to use. It would be easier to hand measure something.
DO NOT USE
★ · v4.18 · Sep 12, 2026It’s a SCAM. Charges $10 per week. Didn’t realize I was subscribing when I downloaded the app. I thought it was a free app and got no notification whatsoever that I was subscribing to a weekly $10 charge. This went on for 3 months before I realized.
Waste of time
★ · v4.18 · Sep 10, 2026Different measurements each time. My wall is either 2’6” or 17’3” Same wall, same phone, same app Can I leave zero stars
No
★ · v4.17 · Aug 29, 2026If I have to purchase a trial to keep using a stupid tape measure app, then you’re just money hungry frauds.
Fraud
★ · v4.15 · Aug 13, 2026This app is committing fraud through the apple store do not recommend they will force a subscription even after deleting the app and canceling
Do Not Download They will Steal Your Money Without Your Permission
★ · v4.15 · Aug 2, 2026I downloaded the app and didn't even sign up for anything and have already been charged twice for an app that I used for one thing and it's not even accurate at measuring anything. They stole $20!
Wall
★ · v4.14 · Jul 8, 2026Won’t measure a wall :(
Subscription for a measuring app
★ · v4.14 · Jul 7, 2026Just no.
It doesn’t work
★ · v4.13 · Jun 24, 2026Pointless since it literally told me 5 inch box was 10.5 inches repeatedly
Don’t download, don’t pay for. Stay away from this horrid app
★ · v4.13 · Jun 22, 2026Forgot my tape measure in my work box. Downloaded this hoping it would give me a rough estimate of the length of a shower. I was incorrect. One measurement said 5 inches another said 3ft and the last says 5ft 7. Terrible terrible app, zero instructions and horribly actuate and inconsistent
To much money for this app
★ · v4.13 · Jun 19, 2026I need to cancel this. To expensive
Great tool to have with you.
★ · v4.12 · Jun 19, 2026Love this tool works great and is very accurate. I use it for work to hang items, building projects and landscaping. Works great. 10/10 Chris B.
Does not work
★ · v4.12 · Jun 16, 2026Does not work
$9.99 a week for a ruler?
★★ · v4.11 · Jun 13, 2026This is a local only app and the developers have no overhead. Stop these subscriptions.
Inaccurate
★ · v4.11 · Jun 11, 2026This app is inaccurate so my height is 5 4 and it’s says 4 11 like what not good for people height
$30 a year for a TAPE MEASURE?
★ · v4.11 · Jun 10, 2026At that point, just go to the store and buy a real one
Subscription ? REALLY!!!?
★ · v4.10 · Jun 9, 2026I would have paid for this app one time fee, but not a subscription. This is ridiculous.
Hard to use
★ · v4.10 · Jun 6, 2026App is not very intuitive. Icons don’t match their intended use. I want to cancel the subscription. Can’t figure out how to.
The opportunity
What would it take to build a viable competitor, what would it cost to run every month, and a prompt to get started. Generated from the reviews on file; one LLM call per brief. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real brief; the stub only fills in a template.
