Better than other apps

This is one of those little apps that's really useful. Excellent accuracy and very easy to use. This version is limited to measuring just small things, up to the size of your phone's screen (there is a "slide" method for longer measures, but it is too difficult to use). My only suggestion: add a white or very light colored background option, because the "steel" and "copper" are hard to read when screen brightness is set low.

Loaded without any problems on my Samsung S4. Easier to read the rule with a copper background. Measured the rule with a physical steel rule and it was a perfect match. As a short measuring instrument cannot complain

I don't write many reviews but, this little app is great to have if you need a small ruler any time. It takes a small amount of effort to get it setup but once you do it works great on my cheap ZTE from straight talk. I must admit I am now a fan boy of this little app and i can say i will use it often.Cant go wrong on the free version IMHO, I really don't need the paid version but I am going but it because I am sure they did a mile of work to get this app out to us. Thanks for reading, j1969n

Take 3 seconds to calibrate this app to an inch on your ruler then it's perfect for whenever you need it.

You need a ruler to collaborate this ruler.... Uhhh if I had one than I probably wouldn't need this app, right? Stupid waste of my time.

You need a ruler to calibrate it to even use it. If I had a ruler I wouldnt be looking for a ruler on the market. Stupid!

For some reason since the ics upgrade the scale on the right no longer displays at all. Otherwise this is an amazing app.

Well what can I say... i downloaded 6-7 different ruler /measurement apps. I was quite suprised to discover that the first few apps didn't even measure 1cm acurately measurements were all off by a much as a few mm.? !!! I would expect at the very least if I was downloading a ruler app that it would measure acuratley which is really important dont you think..☆☆☆THIS APP IS BOTH ACURATE & PRECISE☆☆☆☆☆

This app is simple, doesn't want any weird permissions, and is easy to use. All it needs is a set of split ,floating flags to mark and measure the radius and it'll be perfect. I like yellow, since blue green and red have already been taken. There should be displayed, by each flag the value of the radius, with the units coresponding to the units on the side each flag is on.

Q70%

This used to be a useful tool, but it doesn't work anymore, not sure what happened, have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Every time the program loads it auto calibrates to the wrong size. When i go to calibrate and i enter my screen size it tells me it's not right, same when i enter my resolution...so every time i open the program i have to recalibrate by measuring a square on the screen. If i have a ruler on hand to measure my screen, would i need the app?? Motorola Droid Razr Maxx Android 4.1.2

This app does what it is supposed to but on the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX it auto-calibrates to a wrong calibration (which is too far off from the correct one) every time the app starts. It just became too annoying to have to reset it to 256PPI after it auto-calibrated every app launch. It should either save the manual calibration setting and not auto-calibrate every launch or just fix the auto-calibration!

I tried several way to calibrate but it never stays. Easier just to use the phone length 5 inched top to bottom

TSIA. No measurements, no sliders, just a blank metal bar.
