Maybe not 💯 exact but close enough for most things. Ignore the people who gripe about it being way off in reviews, they're not using it right. You've got to set your phone height in settings & for best accuracy you've got to hold the phone at eye level while you're standing. Ads not intrusive or even noticeable really.

The app is really working approximately good. The only thing is that the app's interface is very difficult to understand. To measure height of object: 1. Place the '+' pointer at the bottom of the object(shoes of a person) and click the 'get distance' button. 2. Now press the 'H' option in the left side and move the pointer slowly from the object's bottom to top. 3. Click the 'get height' button after reaching the top. You can see the height of the object displayed on the left side.

The distance is measured with the camera height as the base for measurement. This might be a tad bit off. However, you can compensate it by manually adjust the camera height based on previously measured distance. After you've calibrated it manually, it works like charm. I've measured ±3.5m and the app shows only ±10cm deviations. Quite accurate for my needs. Suggestion would be to put options to change the measurement unit to cm, inch, feet, etc.

Can only measure the distance of objects that you can look down at (your feet, the ground...). Since I am not a child meauring the height of the action figures in my playset and lack the power of flight to afford myself a perpetual 'higher ground' view, this renders the app useless for me. Also, if you have to find higher ground, then you must factor that distance into calculations or results will be unreliable. Great idea and good looking implementation, but a total fail for my needs.

Very accurate. Most people don't know how to use it, because you have to change the default height of phone from ground first before starting the measurement. After that, it's all fine. Note to developer: should provide a smaller units such as cm as well (even if the measurement is a bit off it will prove to be helpful).
