| 2024-05-10 |  | | en | To: Roszel István - who posted way back on Sep 17, 2016... In order to keep the vertical ruler from vanishing when you click outside of it, try selecting a measurement option (px/cm/in) as soon as it opens. That seems to do the trick for me when I want it to remain "always on top". I hope that's helpful. |
| 2023-09-28 |  | | en | Was hoping to try it, but apparently it won't run on MacOS since it hasn't been updated to comply with the 2022 December deadline. :/ |

| 2021-01-17 |  | | en | It works. But it does not allow for rotation which I really needed. This only deserves a one star, however I'm giving it two stars because it is the only thing like this on the app store which is really disappointing. |
| 2020-07-05 |  | | en | Nice app but when I open a vertical ruler on my PC if I hover the mouse over the left edge and click and drag ... the vertical ruler hides and I can't reset or view it again until I close it from the taskbar and reopen it with the horizontal ruler. A too wide white bar also appears on the vertical bar. Correct that and it will be very useful. Thank you very much |

| 2017-11-10 |  | | en | This is not an extensions. It is an app. YOU install it and you cannot use it in your browser as an extension. IT exists on your apps page. When you launch the app it may open on some other computer but it did nothing on mine. I'll keep looking for an on screen ruler that will let me ee the pixel dimensions of something on screen, This one didn't let me do that. |
