![]() The program is ideal for graphic designers, web site designers and digital product designers (such as software programmers or modeling tool developers). The program can also be used as a reading guide, especially useful for helping you read through wide documents / spreadsheets with small fonts. The ruler can be flipped horizontally or vertically, re-sized to an exact length or re-sized by dragging it to a desired length. Special 2x, 3x, and 4x modes allow you to take a snapshot of your whole screen and magnify it so you can measure between very fine points more easily. As you can see through the clear plastic ruler you can even continue your typing under it. With A Ruler for Windows you can use your screen normally while layering one or more rulers over of your work. It provides you your choice of a woodgrain, stainless steel, clear see-through plastic, or yellow construction ruler or reading guide - plus you can design and share your own custom skins too. Author's reviewĪ Ruler for Windows is a free on-screen pixel ruler and reading guide for your PC. You can switch between the ruler and the reading guide mode via mouse click or keypress. By default, both the ruler and the reading guide has four skins to choose from. You can also resize their lengths to fit your window screen. Both the ruler and the reading guide can be flipped horizontally and vertically. Unlike the ruler mode, the reading guide is a plain and narrow bar that you can drag around your screen when reading. The reading guide, on the other hand, is a very handy tool for reading long texts, such as e-mails, spreadsheets, and other fine prints. Clicking these ticks also automatically draws a measuring line at the specific locations. To make it more convenient for you, you can place ticks on whichever long edge of the ruler you prefer. More so, the app allows you to reverse the numbers on the ruler or the display the ruler’s length. It comes with large numbering for clearer measurement. ![]() When you are working with graphics and need precise measurement, the app’s ruler function can be of big help. Allowing this at the top of your search results is very anti-consumer.A Ruler for Windows is a free software utility that serves as both an on-screen ruler and a reading guide. It’s one of the top points in deciding to download an app. This is quite literally the fine line between an “app” and a SCAM.Īpple must remove this app or bump it down on the search results and allow other, more consumer-friendly applications with more functionality, appear closer to the top.Īpple, IOS users often look at the star-rating when searching for an app. The fact that this app has so many positive reviews, brings it to the top of the search screen in the App Store. To devs: I recommend a better way to implement your “pro” version, one that does not disrupt the entire function of this app. But for other users in US who don’t actively use CM, this can be highly impractical and you must pay to be able to measure in inches. This ruler only measures in CM, which is not bad. 10-15 secs of measuring and 10 secs of a pixelated screen prompting you to upgrade. There is a set amount of SECONDS that you can measure for before the ruler becomes pixelated and you are prompted to upgrade or wait 10 seconds before you can continue measuring. And developer, if you are reading this, go stick your head in a trash can, delete this app, and never make anything again, because you WILL mess it up. How did this app even get 2-star ratings? After 30 seconds, I just deleted this stupid waste of my time. EXCUSE ME? I used it for 3 seconds! How did I exceed any limit? Just thinking about this freaking app makes me want to hurl. Buy the upgrade to cancel this limit or wait 20 seconds. Then, after 3 seconds of using the so-called “ruler”, a message popped up: measure time “exceeded”. ![]() I first downloaded it just to use for homework, but after opening it for 2 seconds, a purchase ad came on, and I pressed “cancel”. What the hell? Also, just seeing that this trash “app” actually is only free when you use it for 3 seconds is completely outrageous! It’s not even worth your time and money, and I have no idea why there are so many good reviews on this thing. Ok, starting with the fact that this thing is not even that accurate, and even to use it for more than 5 seconds will cost me 5 dollars?! ![]()
