Ok app but could be great
Response from developer
We researched a stand measurement tool, and discovered it's not technically feasible to compute accurate values from a two dimensional photo. In one test case we installed 132 feet of contiguous lights along the gutters and roof of a house. We took a photo from the street, then computed the length of the photographed lights using the front door as a scaling guide. The algorithm determined 83 feet of lights were visible; the other 49 feet were either completely hidden from the camera or visually shortened due to perspective projection. A measurement feature which states you need 83 feet of lights when in fact you need 132 feet is misleading and worthless. A single 2D snapshot simply doesn't contain enough information to accurately compute these measurements. Our app is a visualization tool, designed to quickly generate high quality lighting mock-ups to present to clients. We added this question to our Pro FAQ: https://www.wrinklefreegames.com/games/jollyLightsProFAQ.html
