Point & Measure App Reviews

Works perfect!!! Better for distances of no more than 30 meters

To have this in my pocket is really cool! Yes, you HAVE to calibrate it!! Makes it all the better, really, so I can adjust for variations in my elevation to the object being measured. Worth every penny. Only thing I hope to see in future upgrade is the option to name the saved measure on the photo and add beginning/end marks for the measurement. That would complete a perfect app! Great work on this app. I can measure tall stuff now without climbing up there!

Took the risk for $1.99 despite some negative reviews. It was super easy to calibrate and as long as you point it at an angle(like the illustration demonstrates) it works amazingly. Ill use this everyday for work and it beats spending fifty bucks on a laser measure.

This is great! When you use this be sure to calibrate it and also go into the settings and set the height of the lense. I used a measuring tape and measured the height of my eye off the ground, so i can get consistent measurements.

Once you get it set up right. I suggest zooming it max when using it on short distances. You MUST set the height correctly and when calibrating, make sure you have your phone on a leveled surface. At a known distance of 16.5 feet it was dead on. A very handy tool.

Reviews must have been written be developer. Next to impossible to figure out. And when I followed directions still does not give accurate height or calculations DONT WAIST YOUR MONEY

I can measure more accurately with wild guessing. COMPLETE waste of money.

People who are giving this product negative reviews probably just dont know how to use it. It takes a basic understanding of geometry and triangulation and works very accurately. I am in the middle of remodeling my 112 year old townhouse and this app is a lifesaver. dont hate-imitate.

Followed the directions and it still is not accurate, very hard to figure out in the first place. Avoid this app!

ya so this app stinks and was a waste of money….inaccurate and so darn confusing to understand….. avoid this app….

I loaded the update that was posted and now the program will not load. Just a quick flash of black on the screen. Then right back to main screen.

Terrible app. Waste of money

Got this app yesterday and tested it 6 times in different scenarios...IT WORKS GREAT!..as long as you pay attention to the parameters. If youre expecting a simple "point and shoot" your measurements will be off. I set the height with a tape measure and have had great results!

Not even a good app if it was free...it doesnt work to measure any sort of wall lengths at all.

I am a Heavy Haul Truck Driver and this is the Best app I have gotten to measure oversize loads. Its the Best.

Complete waste of money.

Wish I could go back in time and prevent myself from purchasing this app. Does not work. Period. I watched the tutorial, read the calibration instructions, even went to their website for support. Does not work. Period. My husband, who is a mechanical engineer and understands the principles behind this app, cannot get it to work. IT DOES NOT WORK! Reporting a problem to the iTunes store was a waste of time because I never heard back from them. So, I am out money for an app that does not work. Dont waste your time and money, too, - dont buy it.

Lousy APP. Like other reviewers have said cant measure anything. Too many variables to get and accurate reading. How high is your iPhone off the ground to the ANGLE of the phone to the object. Very inaccurate readings. Save your money.

It does work, with the use of common sense, reading comprehension, and competency Well, I was hesitant about buying the app after reading the reviews, although the concept is solid, I was unsure if the app functioned as described by the developer. To test the app, I stood directly in front of a mirror to measure the height of my eye, using a tape measure (and taking into consideration the 3" dimension of the tape measure) then entered that number into the app. I measured 14 from the wall and held the iPhone 4s at the proper height and distance... being cautious not to move the lens from that spot, but it is very sensitive to movement. The distance shown was two feet off from the actual measured distance, and one foot off from the height. Fiddling with the height that I initially entered (eye level), I changed it in the app to 14" less than my true height (head to toe), but kept the phone held at eye level... Now the app worked almost perfectly. The trick is to test/compare/adjust until the calculated height/distance match the real measurements, and the steadier your phone is, the more accurate it will be. Also, zoom in all the way while you are getting the measurements! Trust me. It only takes a few minutes to mess around and get the hang of it all. I will test it further, if the developer updates the app, allowing lens height adjustment as high as 200, which would make it useful for longer distances, and at different elevations from the measured object. Please update it! My trick may only work accurately at the distance I adjusted it, but I shall see... Ok, I tested it at 20 and the distance and height were the same, so it does work. It may fall out of sync if youre too close or too distant from the initial "sight in" adjustment. Another update, or separate app, should include a man sized figure, moose or rabbit silhouette , at progressive distances. Ok, imagine a human silhouette on your camera screen that is say 1/2" tall and equates to a distance of 125. The 1/4" equates to a distance of 250. And 1/8" = 500. Its not perfect, but it would work reasonably well to judge a distance. You would need to define if full zoom or no zoom should be used, as the change would affect the silhouette accuracy. Heck, even a vertical & horizontal ruler like L or + or a square, with line markings and a label for each one, and what height/width it equates to when held next to an object. Think range estimating mil dot, or bullet drop calculator.

I want money back
