## Description

Ruler / Measuring Tape provides three practical ways to measure when you don’t have a traditional ruler. Measure against your screen for small, quick checks; use ARKit-powered augmented reality to place a virtual ruler on vertical or horizontal surfaces such as walls, tables, or floors; and print a ruler with AirPrint (accuracy depends on the printer).

No ads, no in-app purchases, and no tracking.
