Latest reviews of Fractional Caliper, inch ruler app for iPhone and iPad
The caliper works as described and is useful to have fractional, decimal inch and matrix readouts on the same screen, however there is a big flaw in these readouts. The fractional inch readout is ok but the metric readout drops decimal points after the caliper is opened above 10mm so the resolution is only +/- 1mm. The same deal for the decimal inch except this gives 1 decimal point so only accurate to 0.1 inch.
On an iPhone 6+ the measurement says 2 inches but it is actually 2.75 inches. I cant find any calibration settings or a way to contact the developer to let them know this. It looks like a nice app but unusable because it is not accurate.
Latest app update says 6 plus but the scale is completely off on the 6 plus thus rendering this app useless. I want my 99 cents back.
