*** 2017 New update is finally here! Thank everyone for the patience *** Dimension Marker makes it easy to mark the dimension of any space or object DIRECTLY on photos or sketches - turning your iPhone/iPod touch into a great assistant whenever, for example: - You need to fit new furniture when you redecorate or renovate your home. - You bump into a nice piece of home accessory and wondered if it fits somewhere in your home. - You need to explain the dimension of a product to your customers, in many cases, it's better to email a picture with marked dimensions than to talk over the phone. Few more examples when you need to remember sizes and dimensions during home improvement or renovation: - You want to pick the biggest possible flat panel TV that best fit the TV cabinet. - You bump into a nice piece of decorative item and wondered if it fits into your bookshelf. - There's a light switch on the wall and you want to find a bookshelf that's either short enough or narrow enough to leave the switch accessible. - Need to measure the sizes of the 6 windows in the 3 bed rooms, living room and dinning room in order to get the right curtain for the right window. - You want to get a new cabinet that's big enough but not blocking the power outlet and the picture hung on the wall. We normally take text notes but sometimes it's confusing. The bed room may have 2 windows and there are 3 walls in the dinning room. Which wall is exactly "wall B" on my note? Which window is "window 1" on my note? I jotted down the "length" of the cabinet, but now I forgot whether I meant the width or height. To avoid mistakes and confusions, nothing's as straight forward as marking the sizes and measurements on the real photo or even a simple sketch. Remember, a picture worth a thousand words. And that's what Dimension Marker's for. KEY FEATURES: - Marks measurements and dimension directly on photos or sketches - Vertical, horizontal and arbitrary arrows - Choice of Black or White arrows - Marker pen in Black or White - Eraser - Clear all sketches at once - Insert photo from Photos Album - Take photo with camera (on iPhones) - Save your note/work to Photo Album - Auto save QUICK TIPS: - Drag arrow heads to adjust arrow lengths (and the angle of arbitrary arrows) - Tab on the arrow text to edit - Drag the arrow body (avoid the text area) to move the arrow - Drag arrows to the buttons panel (or onto the bin) to delete - Press the Black/White square button to toggle new arrow and sketch color

Works kinda sorta

Reviewer Me Too
The 2017 update lets the app work -- but it must crop ALL images to a tall narrow 1136 H x640 W pixel dimension to import it. Got a landscape oriented image? You've got to crop most of it out to import it. One work around is to rotate your landscape photos to vertical with the iOS photos app, then import that rotated image into this app - but you'll still have to crop the edges of it. So if you're taking pictures that you know you'll need to mark up with dimensions with this app, SHOOT THE PICTURE VERTICALLY and leave extra negative space around the sides that will have to be cropped to be imported. This app has potential- but this weird format seems like it's a half hearted workaround.Am looking forward to the next update.

Great Idea needs work

This Application is something that I have been looking for, but it needs work. I think this will be hugely popular for contractors and those that have to make numerous measurements of spaces, and want to be able to document items and spaces. But it is difficult to move the dimension lines to different areas. When assigning dimensions to these lines It should also jump right to the number keyboard vs. the qwerty one. The garbage button also does not work on the drawing screen, you can delete the scrawling but not the dimensions. I think this will be an awesomely popular app but the bugs have to be fixed first

This app offers a lot more than some reviews suggest. We use it daily for measuring job site conditions, and then sharing that information with co-workers. The marked up images create a handy reference that we keep on our server for everyone to access.Moving the dimension lines can be difficult until you know the trick -grab the line between the arrowhead and the text box. Lengthen the dimension line if there is not enough room to grab, reposition the line and then return the arrowhead to the desired position. Easy once you try. It's true, there no way to remove an errant dimension line. My work around is to move it to another location I need to measure or start over. Not that difficult.The developer has been very responsive on technical support, and I hope they continue to revising this worthwhile app.

Useful app, but arrows sometimes are difficult to manipulate. Need to be able to turn off markers. Please make improvements. Also bought IPad version.
