For a device with a 3″ screen, the iPhone has a gorgeous impressive resume: Phone, map, camera, sketchbook, dedicated Doodle Jump playing machine. And for $1, the newly revamped Ruler 2 app makes it an attractive decent measuring thinger, too.
Ruler 2, an overhauled version of an apparently less-good Ruler 1, offers an easy, functional ruler you can drag to measure things smaller than the scale of your screen. Measuring things which are longer than your iPhone, as you’d imagine, isn’t quite as precise: you swipe the ruler to extend it a length and then physically move your iPhone, keeping an eye on where the left side of the screen have to be together with your finger. It sounds style of confusing, but a pleasing easy methods to video that plays once you first launch the app brings you on top of things quickly.
Measurements will be labeled and saved to a folder, so you don’t must mark them down elsewhere, and overall the app has a pleasing, straightforward design. In the event you think you’ll ever must measure something small with accuracy, or measure something slightly less small with slightly less accuracy, Ruler 2′s worth your dolla. [ iTunes ]
