[2010-01-25] BRitch2: Must have screen protector to use trackball support, especially on g1. Dont use without... |
|
[2010-01-03] Don: Cool!! Featured in HTC youtube video 8 great tools for G1! |
|
[2009-08-12] Hugh: Accurate? Probably not. But it can be handy sometimes. |
|
[2009-08-09] Ed: Not at all accurate. Needs more work |
|
[2009-07-31] Tresa is a whore: Does what it says it does accurately. But I'm not gonna gunk up my trackball for the sake of a ruler on my phone. |
|
[2009-07-30] Prissi: its accurate that i know of lol |
|
[2009-07-25] omer: Good |
|
[2009-07-21] TitanSky: The roller thing doesnt work. Its a handy app otherwise. Thx :) |
|
[2009-07-15] sara: No thank you! My screen is damaged because of it! |
|
[2009-07-13] Mariah: Love the idea but hard to use |
|
[2009-07-11] andres: Not very good. The accuracy is below average, and it took me a minute to figure out. Three stars for the concept. |
|
[2009-07-08] Flavia: Really cool but kinda hard to use. Not very acurate |
|
[2009-07-08] Pat: The trackball measuring is grossly inaccurate. |
|
[2009-07-06] Katherine: Measured my b/f's ...... with it =) |
|
[2009-07-02] Sarah: no where near accuracy. lamest thing ever |
|
[2009-06-30] Nick: this is the best ruler on the market |
|
[2009-06-29] duong: Man this is so helpful! |
|
[2009-06-25] jamestown: @drew: lol, but come on dude give 5 stars this app is pure genious! Great job dev!!! |
|
[2009-06-23] ERNESTO: I don't get it. Sorry |
|
[2009-06-21] Everett: Absolutely brilliant. If it doesn't work for you, read the instructions. Twice, if necessary. |
|
[2009-06-13] charles: Long |
|
[2009-06-05] Kimberly: I love the idea, but the trackball is inacurate. |
|
[2009-06-03] John: I love the concept, but the trackball doesn't roll well enough to be accurate. |
|
[2009-06-02] Adam: Entirely useless, what about the camera like a really high res optical mouse + motion sensor? |
|
[2009-05-29] C: Trackball Not accurate. Get the other ruler app. |
|
[2009-05-28] Paul: Good idea, just doesn't (can't) work well in practice. |
|
[2009-05-28] Kareen: Good idea, but doesn't measure accurately at all. |
|
[2009-05-21] valerie: Doesn't really work well due to trackball being at an angle. Not good if you have a cell cover either... |
|
[2009-05-20] jamel: Cool app just feel sry if u use ya boys fone...lol he mighta measured his joint |
|
[2009-05-05] Mozzy: It's okay, Just needs more up dates. |
|
[2009-04-15] Luka: Works good, but you can measure your own finger while trackballing. |
|
[2009-04-12] Andrei: it has the right idea but the measurment is off |
|
[2009-04-12] haibat: Measuring with roller is good idea but doesnt work, very inaccurate. |
|
[2009-04-06] Reaper: Works great. Not that accurate but that is probably due to the trackball. |
|
[2009-03-30] apeironer: good app considering its size but needs a bit of work to hopefully an update will include some calibration settings |
|
[2009-03-21] Jon: Great idea good implementation could use tweaks but thanks alot for the very original app |
|
[2009-03-20] Joseph: Awsome so many uses |
|
[2009-03-08] Yousef: Idea is good, but not accurate at all. You have to ± mm's. And for long mesurments not reliable |
|
[2009-03-08] jamie : Nice idea just terribly done |
|
[2009-03-07] Nick: Doesnt work said that a pencil was a centimeter |
|
[2009-03-07] Amy: Could not register lengths in the manner described. Removed. |
|
[2009-03-05] CityChick: Trackball measuring is not accurate |
|
[2009-03-05] Lucas: Great idea but will ruin yer phone...could it be made to utilize the accelerometer for measuring instead of the track ball? |
|
[2009-03-03] jose: Its gona skrew up ur phone it dirtied my phone |
|
[2009-02-28] madinky: Didnt work for unfortunately |
|
[2009-02-28] brad: Works! But good way to mess up your phone |
|
[2009-02-27] Abdullah: Make it more accurate. Maybe also allow vertical scrolling? It would be cool if we could find out if we could incorporate the camera too. Great job |
|
[2009-02-27] Ali: Fantastic idea! But trackball is not always accurate. |
|
[2009-02-26] Charon: •Remarkabke concept 5* •Fairly smooth UI 3.5* »sometimes choppy when measuring •right now its 1st & only of its kind 5* ¡Great work keep developing! |
|
[2009-02-26] Anonymous: Cool idea but I don't like dragging my phone across a surface. |
|
[2009-02-26] Jonathan: No it's not super accurate, buuut I think its better then the other onscreen ruler.did someone really say "use the accelerometer"? Think about that.. |
|
[2009-02-25] Dragos: Jelous basters ! Don't rate low because you didn't had the idea ! |
|
[2009-02-25] Dustin: Awesome awesome idea. The track ball messurment work pretty good! Better than any other ruler |
|
[2009-02-25] Jared: Good idea, but very inacurate especially on hard surfaces. |
|
[2009-02-23] erktheerk: Not very accurate is a failure for a app intended to measure things. Im in contruction and double check several time with my tape. Uninstalling |
|
[2009-02-23] Brandon: Superb idea but i keep measuring a surface 19" in length but it keeps giving me around 16" for it. Fix bug for 2 more *'s |
|
[2009-02-23] Dan: Could be more accurate but awsome and very creative idea |
|
[2009-02-23] mark: Nice idea, but the ball isnt good enough for it to work. |
|
[2009-02-23] Aaron: Pretty good for approximating distances. If you need an actual measurement then you should be using a real ruler |
|
[2009-02-23] Logical1: F'ing Fantastic! What a clever idea, love the ability to approximate lengths even around curves and corners! Work on the accuracy though :) |
|
[2009-02-22] ACCOUNTING BOOK: Nice idea. |
|
[2009-02-22] Jo: First and it's really cool thanks i love the idea using the trackball for messurements |
|
[2009-02-22] Brandon: good app just watch what you roll your phone....use common sense |
|
[2009-02-22] Tiffany: Cool |
|
[2009-02-22] adam: Functional..nice |
|
[2009-02-22] Kevin: good idea and the app works and all but the phones tilted and its hard to roll that ball onn anything.... |
|
[2009-02-22] tim: Good idea, but this doesnt work very well |
|
[2009-02-22] Anita: It works. I just dont think i want to be rolling my phone on something |
|
[2009-02-22] Steve: Hmmmm..length |
|
[2009-02-22] Danny: Crap |
|
[2009-02-22] Mic Solis: Useless, utterly useless. Because of contour of G1, good luck measuring anything with the trackball. Uninstalling. |
|
[2009-02-22] micah: Does what it says |
|
[2009-02-22] Ixachel: Nice idea, but not very useable. |
|
[2009-02-22] Daniel: Nice app |
|
[2009-02-22] Bodhidharma: Works as it says. Drag across buttons to avoid curvature. |
|
[2009-02-22] Arley: Great idea, but not accurate! |
|
[2009-02-22] Kala'i: Good idea but i dont feel like taking off my case just to measure |
|
[2009-02-22] Punk|: I agree, nice idea. |
|
[2009-02-22] Gabriel: Scratches your phone. Beware! |
|
[2009-02-22] mckenzie: Unresponsive and would scratch screen! |
|
[2009-02-22] Erik: This is awesome. Great idea. |
|
[2009-02-22] Chase: Good idea, not very accurate. But may be useful in desperate measures |
|
[2009-02-22] Don: Tried it, seems to work ok, |
|
[2009-02-22] Bratag: Simple idea, works very well if rolled slowish. I wish i had thought of it :) |
|
[2009-02-22] Zacqary Adam Green: It's a nice idea, but it's far too difficult to get a reading, let alone an accurate one. |
|
[2009-02-22] Ricky: Awesome idea trackball isn't loose enough though. |
|
[2009-02-22] süli: 5* for the idea!! It works pretty good for me!! |
|
[2009-02-22] jim: What is the point. If it could ue the aceleromiter to show measurement, then that would be good. |
|
[2009-02-22] satheesanan: What`s the point in this!!!! Ur not gonna be in a maths lesson taking out your fone and usin this app |
|
[2009-02-22] xtreme: Nice concept but in my case the measurement often fell 10-20% short when used on rulers for testing. |
|
[2009-02-22] Jacob: The trackball doesnt slide well on some surfaces |
|
[2009-02-22] f: Good idea but doesnt work well |
|
[2009-02-22] John: Tested on 8.5"x11" and it works perfectly. You must slide the phone horizontally, don't slide lengthways, or it wont register |
|
[2009-02-22] brandon: Awesome idea but as said before trackball doesnt slide well on some surfaces and in my case doesnt touch the surface cuz i have a case but great idea |
|
[2009-02-22] guitarfreak846: This app sucks. Period. Redo it completely please and dont use trackball. Use the accelerometer to slide around the ruler. The trackball is too hard. |
|
[2009-02-22] jadey: Good idea but the track ball dosent work well |
|
[2009-02-22] Eddie: I dont get it? |
|
[2009-02-22] Bryce: Good idea. Works great on certain surfaces, but has problems on some surfaces. |
