Google has delisted its AR app Measure from the Playstore silently after not supplying any update for over a year.

The app is still visible to those who have installed it at least once or now but cannot receive any software update further since itโ€™s abandoned now. Measure, based on Googleโ€™s ARCore, can intelligently measure objects through the deviceโ€™s camera.

Googleโ€™s AR Measurement App

Google Killed Its Measure AR App, Taken Down From PlaystoreWhile itโ€™s usual that developers pull down projects which arenโ€™t working, Google has a history of taking down functional apps sometimes! May this introduces a new and better app, or it just doesnโ€™t like developing it.

Whatever the reason โ€“ the company has pulled down a functional AR measuring app called Measure from the Playstore silently.

As noted by Android Police, the Measure app was no more available in Googleโ€™s Playstore. But, this can still be seen by those who have previously installed the app at least once or installed it now in their devices.

While it can be used without any catches, Google updated the changelog, saying itโ€™s the โ€œfinal versionโ€ and โ€œNo further updates will be published.โ€

This is fairly scary, as it determined not to develop the service anymore. So using Measure further should be done at your will, as you will not be provided with any feature or security updates. Moreover, the description has been updated as,

โ€œThis app is no longer supported and will not be updated. However, users who previously installed this app can continue to use it on compatible devices.โ€

The measure is basically a measurement app for calculating an objectโ€™s height, length, and width. Itโ€™s based on Googleโ€™s ARCore platform, which empowers other Android AR projects of Google.
