We are excited to introduce a major maintenance and refinement update for Ruler Basic. This version focuses on performance improvements, stability, and overall usability. Every line of code has been reviewed to ensure that your measuring experience feels faster, more accurate, and more reliable across all supported devices.
Performance Enhancements
This update significantly improves the speed and precision of measurements. The core measurement engine has been rebuilt for smoother calibration and better frame synchronization, minimizing latency when adjusting or moving the ruler. The app now runs more efficiently, reducing battery consumption and memory usage. These changes result in faster startup times and improved responsiveness even on older devices.
User Interface Improvements
We carefully refined the entire visual design to make Ruler Basic cleaner and more consistent. Line thickness, ruler markings, and typography have been adjusted for better clarity and readability in both Light and Dark Mode. The layout now adapts seamlessly to all screen sizes, ensuring a consistent and professional appearance whether you are using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Bug Fixes
Several bugs reported by our users have been resolved in this release.
• Fixed an issue that caused measurement values to display incorrectly when rapidly switching between metric and imperial units.
• Corrected visual alignment problems on certain iPad screen resolutions.
• Fixed minor touch sensitivity inconsistencies in landscape orientation.
• Resolved rare cases where the ruler calibration did not save correctly after app restart.
• Eliminated flickering issues when switching between color themes.
• Improved stability to prevent unexpected crashes on older iOS versions.
Accuracy Improvements
Measurement calibration has been refined to deliver results with higher precision. The internal scaling logic now automatically adjusts to your device’s pixel density, allowing more accurate results when measuring objects on screen. The update also includes better rounding logic and a more precise handling of fractional units.
Settings and Preferences
The Settings menu has been reorganized for easier access to frequently used options. Unit preferences and calibration data are now stored more reliably, ensuring that your configurations remain intact even after updates. The new settings structure also improves compatibility with the latest iOS system design guidelines.
General Optimizations
Every component of Ruler Basic has been optimized for modern devices and the latest iOS updates. The app uses less storage space while maintaining full functionality. Touch response and gesture recognition have been refined to feel smoother and more natural.
Future Updates
This release prepares the foundation for upcoming features and improvements. We are working on expanded unit options, smart measurement overlays, and visual guides that will enhance productivity and precision for professionals and everyday users alike.
