Scala Architectural Scale

This app is amazing for up-and-coming drafting students learning how to use different types of scales. I do have a request, though I wish you could move the ruler up and down from the fixed point. This would help get the information you need even know your device isn’t long enough. I know this would eliminate a true measurement, but maybe you could lock the ruler in place. Other than that if your measurements are in range of your device that’s app is amazing! I highly suggest you buy the premium version as well!!

2022 I still use this app daily. I'd still like to see a decimal inch/mechanical scale and a way to enter the variable scale numerically.........2016 As a civil engineer this is a very handy app. Working with arch and civil and mech scales is needed and when you forget one or need one surprised you're covered! The variable scale feature in this app is invaluable!! My wish list would include a full scale decimal inch readout. It's there but you need to read the numbers out of the display. Also a flip direction would help. Then two sliders to measure the delta and shift the 0 point would be helpful.

The only thing I would like to see in this app is the ability to measure longer dimensions that the 5-1/2” lengths of the iPhone. I was trying to add some measurements and was hoping to be able to pull down the scale on the right side and get 6” or 7” but it seemed that the measurement stopped at 5.5”.

I use this with my iPad Pro and it is dead on accurate compared to my engineer’s scale. It’s great for making impromptu measurements in the field.

This app has become an essential part of my toolkit that I use daily in my practice.

Every person on construction should have this app!!! It’s even more accurate than an actual architectural scale!!! Best app for measuring any construction drawing!!

Clever, simple designed app that comes in very handy if you forget or don't want to carry a scale. Great support, very helpful and responsive.

I am a developer and needs something simple to measure some dimensions on 11"x17" scaled-down site plans. This app allows me to set non-standard scales and it works great. The developer sent me a video on how to set a flexible scale, which was very helpful.

While others at the construction site are just guessing dimensions, I use Scala on my iPhone or iPad to determine correct measurements. Everyone to whom I have shown this handy app is impressed, especially with the "variable scale" since drawings at the job site - or even in the office - are so often printed to fit a sheet of paper, leaving the scale unknown. I enthusiastically recommend this beautifully intuitive app to all my design and construction colleagues!

I have been using this app recently to measure items at 1:1 scale in the field. (Things less than 3.5 inches in width – the height of my screen). It’s amazing how handy it comes in when normally I would be eyeballing a measurement (what is the width of that guardrail post, for example?) and have the ability to get concrete measurements easily. I also use this app in the field to scale drawings quickly and find information, such as door widths. The quarter- and eighth-inch scales are most useful for me.
