### 5/5 — Measure my doorway

*2020-02-20, version 1.0*

This app uses the front camera - the same ones as FaceID - like a tape measure. It works well to measure doorways or put it on your head and measure your height!

### 5/5 — Amazing tape measure

*2020-02-08, version 1.0*

You can use this app like one of those laser measures you can buy. I can’t believe this is possible on my iPhone X!
