If xScope keeps crashing on you check out PixFit - http://pixf.it. It's got a nice set of features that xScope provides and is a lot cheaper. You can combine it with ColorSnapper to have a perfect combo of measuring tool and a color picker for far less than xScope's price.

My xScope works fine now. The crashes were caused by another application (AirFoil's Instant On component). Rogue Amoeba fixed this bug a few days ago.

Newest version quits on launch for me, even after deleting prefs and cache. 10.5.8 on PPC.

Yep, found the problem and will be fixed in 2.5.1. Workaround for now is to go back to 2.2.2 until the update is out. Sorry.

Version 2.2.3 for Leopard is now available via the xScope homepage. This is the last update there will be for Leopard but fixes the crashes - http://iconfactory.com/software/xscope

Iconfactory today released version 2.5 which fixes all problems described in my previous review. Raised my rating from 3 to 5 stars. Re-bought it via the Mac AppStore to get the upcoming version 3.0 for free.

No update since 2009. Sent a mail to the support, because the current version does not work on OS X Lion. No answer in 2 months. Purchased both xScope 1.x and 2.x. Now very disappointed and can't find an adequate alternative. Used this app every day.

Please take a look at PixFit - http://pixf.it

Works like a charm on Snow Leopard and Lion.

Thanks for pointing me to PixFit. Great app. It's now part of my daily workflow. I use it in combination with xScope.

if you are a web developer using a mac xScope should be right next to Firebug as totally essential tools. Every single tool is useful and well-thought-out. highly recommended to anyone who wrangles pixels for a living.

This has been my favorite screen measuring app ever since it first came out. Highly useful (and usable) for web design and what not. I like the status bar implementation which makes it stay out of way and yet be there when you need it.

This version (2.1) still has a bug where the menu command Create Horizontal Guide or its equivalent, Shift-Command-H, does nothing. I reported this during 2.1 beta testing but they've released it anyway, with the bug. This product seems like something that someone hires contract programmers for from time to time--just guessing. And yes, what were they smoking to set the price this high.

Shift-Command-H to create a horizontal guide works as designed. If you're having problems with command keys, check for conflicts with other apps you might have installed or email us so we can help you solve the problem. Thank you.
