## What is Lawnsim Lite?

Take the guesswork out of placing sprinklers on your lawn and accurately measure the lawn area with Lawnsim. The process starts with walking the perimeter of the lawn and getting its profile into the app. Once that is done then you move to the simulator. The lawn is drawn from your profile and the app will place sprinkler heads automatically to meet your specs. You can further optimize the placement with editing controls that provide for moving, changing direction, changing spray angle and radius of each sprinkler head individually. When you are done you will know that the sprinklers are optimally placed for your lawn and you will not need to engage in the time consuming and frustrating task of moving them around on the actual lawn. The Pro version of this app provides for saving multiple lawns and emailing results otherwise Lite and Pro are the same.

What do I do? The app won’t tell you. Website downloads something and isn’t usable… sketchy.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.2 — 2023-06-13

Major upgrade focused on calibrating the compass. There is now a tab devoted to this critical function. Without calibrating the compass the data you collect is worthless. The app now prevents you for profiling the lawn if the compass is uncalibrated.

### 1.1.1 — 2023-05-25

Much easier to use distance entry widget, making data entry much faster. Also includes a couple of minor bug fixes.

### 1.1.0 — 2023-05-08

Major upgrade to the sprinkler head placement algorithm. The widget for entering distance between vertices no has an accelerator to simplify use. The data entry GUI has been updated to make it easier to use.

### 1.0.2 — 2023-04-18

Added the display of lawn area on the simulation tab. Handy for determining the amount of grass seed, fertilizer and the like your lawn needs. The app is now useful, even if you do not need the sprinkler head placement capabilities. To use the area measurement capability,  1) profile the lawn under the "Data Entry" tab,  2) switch to the "Simulation" tab  and press "Run" to have the lawn area computed.

### 1.0.1 — 2023-03-13

No release notes.
