Ratings and reviews

First few times I used this app it seemed to work great. I found it a bit confusing how to save pictures and dimensions into a folder but the quick laser measurements were extremely convenient for my work as an interior designer. However, while at a new clients home I was using the device/app and it was not being responsive. My full battery drained in a matter of 15 minutes while trying to measure a space leaving me with no tool for measuring or photographing. Embarrassing and costly problem!

This app keeps crashing my phone. The moisture meter device doesnt give me proper readings of anything. The feedback doesnt seem to budge. The drop menues are buggy and the manual button closes/ crashes the app. Device shows low battery even after putting in new battery. Sometimes, if im lucky, the app works for a few seconds, then everything freezes again, i have to close out the app and reopen to keep trying. Looks like im returning the product.

Nevermind how hard it was to actually get the hardware to work, the app is terrible on its own! It cannot connect to login from any device and it seems to get screen loops almost every time you move to a new screen. The interface and directions are not intuitive at all so this really adds to making you wonder if you are doing something wrong or if it is the app failing. After a lot of troubleshooting, I was able to get the Infrared Thermometer attachment to be detected. This did not work the first few tries as the device's included AAA battery ended up having plastic in addition to the initial covering over one side. Once peeled off with tweezers, my phone was able to find the device. The new problem is that once you select the laser pointer to measure, the app freezes with 5-10 seconds. If you wait long enough, it goes back to the device info screen where it then fails to detect the device. It requires you to disconnect the device from your phone and kill the app. As I have not been able to move forward from here, I hope that Ryobi takes the time to fix the product they are continuing to sell in stores.
