## What is Goniometer?

Measure joint range of motion with the device already in your pocket. Goniometer turns the iPhone's motion sensor into a clinical-style goniometer: place the phone against the limb, read the live angle, and lock it when steady.

Built for occupational and physical therapists, hand therapists (CHTs), chiropractors, physicians, nurses, athletic trainers, ATPs, and students — and used by patients tracking recovery at home. Reviewed against standard supine technique. Smartphone inclinometer measurement has been shown valid and reliable (Keogh et al., systematic review, PLOS ONE, 2019).

Measuring is free and unlimited: all 55 movements, every joint from the neck to the fingertips, plus Quick Angle and a built-in Level. No measurement caps, no ads, no account, and no trial needed to measure. The free tier also includes your first patient profile, unlimited PDF and CSV export (watermarked, never capped), and a Face ID lock. Pro is a one-time purchase, never a subscription.

MEASURE IN SECONDS
• Live, gravity-referenced angle, large and readable
• Flat and upright starts read 0° automatically — no calibration, with a Set Zero override for patients who can't reach the standard position
• Stability indicator: lock only when steady
• Optional spoken angle, so both hands stay free

ANIMATED PLACEMENT GUIDES
Every movement has a step-by-step animated guide with an anatomical diagram: patient position, exactly where the iPhone lies, and the motion from start to end range.

55 MOVEMENTS — NECK, UPPER AND LOWER EXTREMITY, AND EVERY FINGER
Cervical spine flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation · shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, and internal/external rotation · elbow flexion and extension · forearm pronation and supination · wrist flexion, extension, and radial/ulnar deviation · hip flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and internal/external rotation · knee flexion and extension · ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion.

HAND & FINGER ROM
Measure every finger and thumb joint — MCP, PIP, and DIP (and thumb MCP/IP), flexion and extension — with a guided two-placement technique. Patient Profiles compute Total Active Motion (TAM) per digit automatically — a standout for hand therapists (CHTs).

QUICK ANGLE & LEVEL — MEASURE ANY ANGLE
Measure any angle with Quick Angle — wheelchairs, splints, ramps, and seating — and check that footplates and trays sit even with the built-in Level.

NORMAL ROM REFERENCE
A searchable reference of normal range values, linked to each placement guide.

PATIENT PROFILES — YOUR FIRST ONE IS FREE
Create a profile with a de-identified label, a movement checklist, and left/right sides, then record a reading for each movement. Tag readings active or passive (AROM/PROM) and add, correct, or backdate any reading. A deletable example patient shows trend charts, summaries, and reports instantly.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN — NO DATA COLLECTED
Fully offline: no accounts, no servers, no analytics, no tracking — the App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected." Profiles use de-identified labels, are encrypted on device, stay out of cloud backups, and leave your iPhone only when you export a report yourself. Designed to support HIPAA-compliant documentation, with a Face ID lock and permanent deletes.

TRY PRO FREE
Use every Pro feature free as you get started — no credit card, no auto-charge, nothing to cancel.

GONIOMETER PRO
• Unlimited patient profiles
• Progress history: every reading kept and graphed
• Goal tracking: a target angle per movement, on every chart and report
• Total Active Motion (TAM) per finger, computed automatically
• Side-to-side comparison as a percentage of the other limb
• Watermark-free PDF and CSV reports with clinical summary and charts
• Clinic letterhead: your clinic's name and logo on every report
• Hands-free auto-lock once the limb is held steady

Goniometer is an educational and reference tool. It is not a medical device and is not intended for diagnosis or treatment decisions.

### 3/5 — Good for (very limited) options

*2026-08-10*

Limited options for hip motions
But great for what it does.  But since it won’t collect the information that I need, I have to give it a 3

**Developer response:** Thank you for the helpful feedback! We just released v1.8.0 which includes hip abduction, hip adduction, hip internal rotation, hip extension, shoulder extension, shoulder internal rotation, forearm supination, forearm pronation. Hopefully you can give it another try and let me know what other movements we should add and any other feedback!

### 5/5 — Easy and accurate

*2026-08-03*

Great instructions, easy to use, and accurate. Overall great app using the phone’s built in tools.

The best Goniometer app for measuring patient ROM. Very quick, easy to use, and accurate!

### 5/5 — Easy to use at home

*2026-07-18*

I have been having knee pain and decreased range of motion. I was able to easily use this app to track my range of motion over time

### 5/5 — Very functional

*2026-07-10*

Very useful and easy to use digital goniometer. I use it pretty much every day and have had no issues with it

### 5/5 — Helpful!

This app is easy to use and does the job well. Perfect resource for therapists and providers to use. Would recommend!

### 5/5 — Sleek, accurate and overall a great app!

*2026-06-19*

This goniometer app is different from everything else that’s out there. It is incredibly easy to take quick measurements of lower and upper body range of motion. The visual guides make it easy to know what and how to measure correctly. I love the styling and theming of the app, it makes it easy to capture the ROM angles and know what I’m looking at. The developer clearly understands human factors in a healthcare setting and translates that beautifully into a usable app. The text-to-speech readings are also very helpful when your hands are tied up. Try this app!

### 5/5 — Convenient and accurate

*2026-06-18*

This app is convenient because I always have my phone on me. I can never find a Goniometer lying around.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8.0 — 2026-08-17

• 8 new movements — forearm pronation and supination, shoulder extension and internal rotation, and hip extension, abduction, adduction, and internal rotation. 55 movements in all, neck to fingertips
• New "See what's included" screen: a clear side-by-side of what's free versus Pro, so you always know measuring stays free
• Polish, accessibility, and reliability improvements

### 1.7.0 — 2026-08-09

• Set Zero now works from any starting position on more movements — an optional Set Zero on wrist flexion/extension and on elbow, shoulder, and hip flexion lets you measure rotated or off-axis positions that a gravity reading alone can't capture
• Finger and thumb extension now reads a deficit as negative and hyperextension as positive, matching elbow and knee — so the two no longer look alike
• New guided first run: pick your role, take a live measurement, and compare left versus right — hands-on from the first tap
• Polish, accessibility, and reliability improvements

### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-06

• Your free Pro trial is now paced by how much you use the app instead of a 7-day countdown — take your time exploring every Pro feature as you save your first readings
• Readings, goals, trends, and PDF reports now consistently use "ROM" (range of motion) for clearer, more familiar clinical wording
• Polish, accessibility, and reliability improvements

### 1.5.1 — 2026-08-02

• Clearer Pro PDF reports — the assessment table now reads left-to-right consistently, with a clearer range-of-motion column heading
• Polish and reliability improvements

### 1.5.0 — 2026-07-26

• Compare both sides: from any locked reading, measure the opposite side and see left and right together
• Home is reorganized around what you do most, with a card to continue a profile you haven't finished
• The 47 movements now have their own searchable screen, with your recent movements one tap away
• Patient Profiles: swipe to edit or delete, sort by most recent or label, and search once you have a few
• Profile labels can now be up to 12 characters and accept numbers, spaces, and hyphens — "PT 3B" or "JD-KNEE"
• Cervical flexion and extension now record one reading instead of left and right, since they have no sides. Readings you already saved are kept
• Polish, accessibility, and reliability improvements
