Ratings and Reviews
It'll pay off many times over
I've often wondered how other engineers have so much trouble delivering pixel-perfect UIs. It seems so easy – the pixels are right there! But I realized the reason the pixels are right there is that I've been using xScope my whole career. Everyone balks at the price. You have no idea how many hours the Dimensions tool alone has saved me. And my work stands out. It shouldn't (the pixels are right there!), but it does. Thanks to this team for making the perfect tool and letting it stay perfect for so many years.
Fantastic
If you are coding or creating UI this little tool is indispensable. It is really amazing what it can do. I use it when i am coding in Xcode and it shines.
Great app, with obnoxios dialog every time you open it
This is a great app. I would give it five stars except for the obnoxious request to enable screen recording every single time it starts up
I'm never going to enable screen recording for xScope. The app works fine for my needs without it, and it is annoying that you ask each and every time the app starts up. A "never ask again" checkbox in this dialog would go a long way towards turning this into a five-star review ...
