The ‘Calipers’ software mentioned in this article is a blatant rip-off of our own Screen Calipers software. The user interface and the functionality has been poorly copied by a publisher who has not identified us as the originator of the idea and has proceeded to create this software without our permission.
I strongly urge everyone to support the hard work that went into the idea of the Screen Calipers by not downloading this application but instead using the original here:
Our software is priced at $29.50, and without it there never would have been this poor imitation.
I also urge Kuapp to remove this link to the AIR Calipers and not support this breach of our copyright.
