Yards are here. Tap the distance to cycle between metres, feet and yards. Measurements are steadier around object edges and when switching targets, with subtle haptic when a reading locks.

DOES NOT WORK

Apple makes you put something in this so here you go Apple, this app does not work.

Does what it says on the tin.

The lower ratings are from people who didn't read the description. Yes, it only measures short to medium distances. It's using the built-in LIDAR sensor in the phone which is limited to short to medium distances.

Longer range measurements require a higher power laser and optics or GPS. For that you need a separate device or one of the GPS apps.

Yes this app uses the LiDAR sensor which is limited to around 30ft or less depending on your phone model.
