Sonar Ruler for Negative User Reviews
✓ MeNot much use if noise level is above whisper..Version: 0
✓ AmazingHaving recently seen Siobhan live in concert I am amazed at her talents. She will be a lassie to watch and follow as her talents develope. she has a great future! Well done, lass!!.Version: 0
✓ Guess the distanceA bit tricky to use and the sound setting has to be at the highest level to give any reasonable reading. Shows multiple readings possibly due to reflections from multiple walls. So, accept the one you think is true which brings you back to guessing...something you could do without spending any money..Version: 0
✓ Interesting, but couldn’t get it to workBought it just out of curiosity, and it looks like it’s doing something. There are a lot of adjustments you can do, and I didn’t spend too much time trying to figure it out. It seems to lock in at the same distances regardless of where it’s used. I’m wondering if my older phone (iPhone 6) just doesn’t have what it takes..Version: 1.21
✓ Worst App I've BoughtThis is the worst app i've ever bought, and needs a major update to change this opinion. Does not work at all..Version: 0
✓ Good concept. Not enough polish.I nabbed this app on an impulse buy after seeing it on a particular website. It is sadly, not more than a novelty at this time. A short video plays on first launch, leaving you with only the faintest idea how it works. The user interface was unintuitive but detailed. This app could use a LOT more work into ambient filtering, as it was largely useless due to interference from just about anything. Hopefully, a more concise tutorial and intuitive interface can be worked in. Using an iPhone 3G S.Version: 0
✓ Great idea ... shame about the executionThe application certainly looks nice. You start the application, the phone makes clicking sounds at regular intervals and a distance measurement appears on the screen. Unfortunately, the measurement bears absolutely no relation to the one being measured. For a 'ruler', that's a pretty major flaw..Version: 0
✓ Sonar RulerThis sonar ruler application was very confusing and frustrating . What a waste of $0.99. I deleted this App. To bad the seller did not provide the video explaining how it works prior to having to buy it. If I had viewed the video first I would have declined buying this sonar ruler. I think the person explaining how to use the sonar ruler on the video seemed a bit confused as to how to use it..Version: 0
✓ UselessThis sounds cool on paper but the app is worthless..Version: 0
✓ Cool app but could do with a faceliftReally like this app and after watching the video I do seem to get accurate results, however I think this app could do with the following improvements:- 1. Advise when you should be using the short distance noise or the long distance noise 2. You have to zoom into or scroll to the measurement you think is correct or roughly what the distance is. It would be nice if the app also had the option to zoom in for you or at least show the measurements when the app is zoomed out quite a way like 10 mtrs 3. This doesn't look like your classic cool looking iPhone app. The menu buttons are small and I think the app would benefit from an apple iphone app look and feel Otherthan that the app seems great and fun to show off to friends. Would be willing to up to 5 stars if above looked at..Version: 0
✓ This is a toy.Great for telling people about, as the concept sounds impressive. However, this app doesn't deliver. Don't bother..Version: 0
✓ Doesn't workYes, I did watch the video & yes, I did read the help files, but it still insisted that anything I tried to measure was between 7 inches & 100 inches away from me....probably true but completely useless. Uninstalled..Version: 1.0
✓ Ok thenI not sure It worked I think It did a bit, the interface needs a clean up really badly it's so hard to understand.Version: 0
✓ Not ready for prime time.To the developer's credit, this app is described as "experimental." Not so ceditable, he is charging a buck for us to bankroll his experiment. It is a fascinating concept, and I hope that eventually the practice will catch up with the theory. For now, I found the results to be off by 10 to 15%, so, far from good enough to put my tape measure away. And, the settings seemed needlessly complex. I understand the need to adjust the temperature, but the frequency, filter, and chirp values should be optimized by the developer instead of the user, it seems to me. And, don't be fooled by the "point and shoot" screenshot with the purple waves measuring 45 inches. The instructional video that comes with the app strongly suggests a much more nerdy stance (scroll right to How to Hold the Phone, above). FWIW, I used this on a 3G iPhone with the latest OS..Version: 0
✓ NopeDoesn't work on my 6. Shame. Looks to be a cool idea..Version: 1.0
✓ Pile of pantsDoesn't work. Utter rubbish..Version: 1.0
✓ IPod Touch too please?This app would be very useful if it worked on iPod Touch too, perhaps in the next update you could make that possible? 59 pence seems very reasonable for such a useful app..Version: 0
✓ Could not get it to work at allI read a bunch of reviews, both good and bad and was fully aware of the fact that this app really falls into the experimental category. But the idea is exceedingly cool and this particular app seemed to be the one to get. As per the author's instructions, I viewed the instructional video and read all of the documentation twice. Nonetheless, I was unable to get the app to work at all. It never gave me an accurate measurement even once. In fact, it never really gave me any measurements at all that were not just noise. Undeterred, I read the docs again and attempted to do a manual configuration of the app. Unfortunately, if you're lucky enough to find the information on the "custom" calibration for the app, the docs are obtuse and don't really explain what the settings in question really do. As a last resort, I contacted the author through the contact link on their website (which contains almost no information about the app itself). It's been two weeks now with no response whatsoever. I'm sure this sort of technology for the iPhone will improve over time, but at the moment neither the app or the company are ready for prime time..Version: 0
✓ MehI know it's measuring something because I can see things change on the screen, but for me it is nothing more than a novelty app. Maybe with some refinement it might get Better..Version: 0
✓ Very very badThis is not real.Version: 0
✓ Sonar RulerDon't waste your money on this - totally useless. Should have minus stars to rate junk like this..Version: 0
✓ It can workUsed with care in an environment that doesn't confuse it too much with extra echos it can and does work, with tolerable accuracy. You have to use common sense and pick the peak that is likely to be correct. Be careful, though, I'm pretty sure it crashed my phone once, to a very solid lockup but no data loss after forced restart..Version: 0
✓ Far from 'accurate' & I have 3gsAnyone saying this is accurate is either lying or a fool. Bounces all over the place even after taking the time to follow directions to a T. Needs development & I'm not sure it will ever get to a stage where it can accurately b described as accurate.Version: 0
✓ Works wellWorked fine for me right out of the box. I used the default setting and it was fairly accurate. I would not use it to cut carpet but certainly good for estimating..Version: 0
✓ Not working with iPhone 4This app worked great on my iPhone 3G, but doesn't seem to work with my iPhone 4. Sounds like signal is bleading from the microphone to the speaker, causing feedback and preventing it from working properly. Please update for iPhone 4+.Version: 1.0
✓ DOES NOT WORKPity you can't vote 0 stars, absolutely USELESS. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY Yes I watched the instructional video..Version: 0
✓ Does not work.This is a scam. Doesn't work at all.Version: 0
✓ Doesn't work in iOS 9App won't open on a 5s running iOS 9, you get a flash of the loading screen and then closes.Version: 1.0
✓ Not working for meI've tried adjusting the settings but it's just not working at all for me. I hear the chirping but it just doesn't give me a reliable reading. I can hold it very level and stable at a wall 6 feet away and it just keeps flashing a bunch of seemingly random values anywhere from 1 foot to 10 feet. I'm on a first gen iPhone..Version: 0
✓ NahToo much tweaking required (find the "spike, make sure the 2 blue balls are on either side with the yellow ball in the miiddle Etc.). I lost one of the blue balls within seconds and couldn't find it -I don't care enough to go through a learning curve- interesting concept, but decidedly NOT user friendly.Version: 0
✓ Doesn't Work At All.Don't waste your money, I went to sync this to my iPod, and it said it wasn't compatible! And I have version 2.2.2 or something on my iPod Touch! I want my money back!.Version: 0
✓ Do not waste $0.99 if it is for iPhone 4sAbsolute waste of money. I have tried it in totally quite locations, keeping it level, and other things that should have improved results, but no luck. The closest to the correct measurement was within 2ft and that was in a noisy environment. Others say it worked on older versions of the iPhone. I could be doing something incorrect, but I have not found the correct procedure to make it work on iPhone 4S..Version: 1.0
✓ Zero starsWish I could give it zero stars. Crashes immediately after opening. Useless..Version: 1.0
✓ BrokenUsed to work great, but it no longer works on the newer iPhones running iOS 8.4. It runs and seems to be listening, but it no longer makes the chirps it needs to listen for. None of the adjustments seem to make a difference. I tried setting back to default values. Tried removing and reinstalling. Tried rebooting the iPhone..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workNot much to say: it simply doesn't work. You can get an echo from time to time to register on the display, but anyway the reading isn't stable etc.. useless..Version: 0
✓ App doesn't even open!!!Absolute waste of money, app has not been updated to years and will not open at all.Version: 1.0
✓ Might as well throw a buck in the toilet.Cool idea, but i can guess a distance and get a more accurate measurement. Ever after spending way too much time screwing around with the settings,and holding the the phone just like they say, the readings were all over the place. In the time it takes to get a somewhat close reading, you could run to the store and buy a tape. A novelty at best. I have a 3Gs..Version: 0
✓ Sonar RulerThis app won't even open let alone work! Useless app and a complete waste of money!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Huh??All settings are proper as to the HELP button and a box about 8 inches away is reading 27 to 29 inches. FAIL. On a longer distance it is reading 46 to 60 inches without me moving. What gives??? And now I see on the first screen that this for "Entertainment ONly" Nice way to rip people...I mean make money..Version: 0
✓ Meh.Hardly worth the 99 cents. More of a curio than an actual tool..Version: 0
✓ Doesn't work on newer hardware?Installed on my iPhone 4 and all I got was screaming feedback & error messages on the screen. Watched the video for help & it doesn't help - if anything, makes it worse. Always keen to try everything before leaving a bad review, I sent an email to the 'developer' asking for help. No reply yet & so, here's a bad review. Awful software, awful developer & not worth giving them your money..Version: 1.0
✓ Works but hates metricGave me a decent reading in inches but when I switched to metric it all went wrong..Version: 1.0
✓ Rubbish!!!Not trustworthy! waste of time and money! clicking gets annoying too!! 0 stars!.Version: 0
✓ JunkHow do I get my money back on this piece of junk?.Version: 1.0
✓ Crash within 3 secondsTried uninstalling and reinstalling on my iPhone 6 several times but the program exits after 3 seconds every time. Would have been interested to "experiment"..Version: 1.0
✓ Rubbish pit it the binNot very accurate out by over ten percent. Sorry I bought it:-(.Version: 0
✓ Get the other sonar apps called pocketmeterI bought both apps and found pocketmeter to work much better and user friendly. The ui for pocketmeter was much easier to use. Currently I deleted this app from my iPhone..Version: 0
✓ MrPoor accuracy, low range can't be trusted, 1 star for entertainment value.Version: 0
