How to use Ruler app:
Photo Ruler app:
Firstly, please ensure that the object you wish to tape measure and the object of known length (Base Item) are in the same picture. There is a predefined list of Base Items in the ruler app settings, including Debit/credit card and Quarter. Select the one you have. Use the Base Item which is closest in size to the object you wish to tape measure using Ruler app.
Secondly, ensure that the Base Item and the object you wish to tape measure using Ruler app are in the same plane and the ruler app camera is (or was) parallel to them. This is necessary to avoid image distortions caused by the ruler app camera perspective.
Align the Blue arrows against the Base item and Green arrows against the object you want to tape measure. The length of the measured object is shown on the Ruler app screen.
Ordinary mm ruler app:
Use screen as a traditional mm ruler app. You can tape measure size of a small object by placing it on the device's screen and adjusting line limiters against the object. If you see that mm ruler app scale is visually stretched/ shrunken, you can reset mm ruler app calibration manually. On-screen mm ruler app can be calibrated using different Base Items, including Debit/credit card or coin. Choose between Imperial (inches) and Metric mm ruler (centimeters).
Accuracy of mm ruler app: Given that you have accurately aligned markers, you will receive a measure that is as precise as when using a traditional mm ruler app or tape measure tool.

★☆☆☆☆Lorne Gurney· Jul 21, 2026
Essentially a scam app. Huge weekly or annual cost to use it following a free trial period. Avoid.
★☆☆☆☆Matthew Kitt· Jul 14, 2026
Bad faith weekly subscription for an easily copied app. Wasn't even that good. Ads and charging its worse than YouTube TV. don't just don't
★☆☆☆☆Usis Istkr· Aug 3, 2026
Awful, wants you to buy a subscription, to measure you have to watch an ad. pure trash app
★☆☆☆☆K.C.· Jul 30, 2026
App is useless. The ads are the base and its only usable if you pay. Spend the money on a measuring tape, the real tool is added free and doesn't need a monthly subscription.
