Software Reviews and Criticism

    Regular user

    I use the app very often, mostly for graphics design together with Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo. And it’s very helpfull for me in instances when perfect proportionate size, alignment, distance are not automatically (with snap function) achievable in complex situations without an additional tool such as PixelStick.

    Dificult to set custom scale

    setting a custom scale if difficult. If you do not enter a return afer putting in your value it will not work. Sometimes does not work even when you do enter the number with a return. Is buggy. loupe shows color of screen walpaper not of the window you are measuring.

    Very useful!

    This inexpensive app is very useful for me. I am able to use it to accurately measure features on a product image. For example, I use SnagIt to copy an image of a product and enlarge it. Then I determine the length or width of the product in inches from the product description. Next I use PixelStick to measure the known dimension in pixels, and calculate the custom scale factor by dividing the width in inches by the number of pixels. This factor is entered into the Zoom box on PixelStick, and I change the Unit measure to “in”. Now everything I measure on the image is scaled by that zoom factor, and I can directly read the measurements in inches. This app is simple to use and never in the way. It’s simply an overlay for the screen, and its visibility can be toggled with Cmd + H. I wish I could get it to work when my browser is in full screen mode, but I haven’t figured that out. But by taking a screenshot using SnagIt, I can work around this limitation.

    PixelStick onscreen ruler vs. all the others

    Seriously, if you need/have the use for an onscreen ruler this would be the one you want to seriously consider. Besides being relatively inexpensive for an application, the functions don't compare to the other Windows onscreen rulers out there. I have tried all of them, too. $15-$45 gets you a ruler that you can't read, the user interface is so bad you can't find the actual measurement, some rulers don't float on top (what the hell's the point of that??), some are too much eyecandy like trying to look like a plastic grade school ruler again, that you can't read the measurements. All a waste of time and money. PixelStick is the real deal - easy and straightforward-to-use interface for realzy. Just download it and compare to the others - it's a no-brainer.
