## What is MeasureKit?

MeasureKit allows you to measure different things in the world using your iPhone’s or iPad’s camera.

Leveraging Apple’s new ARKit technology, MeasureKit contains 9 measuring AR tools:

1) Ruler — measure straight lines on any surface, such as a desk or wall. 
2) Magnetometer — measure magnetic field force around your device.
3) Trajectory — measure by “drawing” (moving your device) in the real world.
4) Face Mesh — check different attributes and export a 3D model of your face (available on iPhone X).
5) Marker Pin — measure distance from device camera to fixed points in space.
6) Angles — measure corners.
7) Person Height — measure how tall someone is.
8) Cube — visualize how big something is. 
9) Level — check if something is horizontal or vertical

Chaining Mode in Ruler Tool allows you to quickly link multiple rulers together in one measuring session and measure floor area enclosed by a chain — useful for measuring an area of a room.

MeasureKit features an advanced algorithm for world understanding using ARKit. On selected supported devices, LiDAR Scanner uses direct time of flight to measure reflected light from up to five meters away, both indoors and out. It works at the photon level, operates at nanosecond speeds, and allows MeasureKit app to offer really smooth and accurate measuring experience including on walls, desks and other surfaces.

## Key features

### 5/5 — Funktioniert !👌

*2022-10-27*

Hab mir das Paket mit zwei App's von euch im Apple-Store erworben. Da ich mit der Lidar-Technik noch nicht so vertraut bin wollte ich erstmal etwas lockerer ran an das Thema Messen.
Es hat auch nicht ganz so lang gedauer, mich damit vertraut zu machen. Alles funktioniert reibungslos bei mir. Ich bin sehr angenehm positiv überrascht, für die kleine Investition eine solch umfangreiche Software zu bekommen. Für mich persönlich vollkommen ausreichend. MeasureKit alleine hat alles was ich brauche und zudem noch ein paar nützliche Zusatz-Funktionen. Alles funktioniert reibungslos.  Für den privaten Gebrauch kann ich das Paket nur empfehlen. Es macht mir Spaß damit zu arbeiten..

Drum gerne auch 5 Sterne🤷🙂

### 1/5 — Avaliação

*2021-03-21, version 2.0*

Muito ruim. O aplicativo não tem previsão nenhuma. Em nenhuma das funções obtive resultados mínimos. Precisa melhorar, ou ter, uma função de calibração.

### 1/5 — Claudio

*2020-08-08, version 2.0*

No funciona la app en iPad Pro

### 1/5 — Should have read the reviews

*2020-05-13, version 2.0*

This app is fun to mess around with, but has no real professional use.  I used it to try and measure siding and gutters on a house, and not only did it take me over an hour to get photos that were close to right, The measurements were still off substantially.  I imagine that, as technology increases, the accuracy will to.  I read a review from over a year ago stating that having to center the camera with shaky hands is too hard.  They still haven't addressed this issue.  It would he more useable if the marker would place where your finger taps.

I am using the app on an Iphone 11.  This app is not worth the $2.99 and I regret making the purchase.

### 5/5 — Excelente!

*2020-04-16, version 2.0*

Perfecto

### 1/5 — Horrível

*2019-07-16, version 1.5.1*

Do que adianta medir certo se não consigo salvar as medidas? Fazer vídeos de tela!! Por favor melhorem

### 1/5 — No sirve

*2019-06-08, version 1.5.1*

Nunca dio una sola medida correctamente, pague por ella en su momento y en verdad una gran decepción

### 1/5 — Отвратительное приложение

*2019-06-06*

Приложение для развода на деньги! Раньше, когда было бесплатное и в бете, было более-менее приемлемо. Сейчас это платное приложение, в котором для использования всех дополнительных функций (кроме измерения расстояния, которое есть в БЕСПЛАТНОЙ «рулетке» от Apple) надо ЕЩЁ доплатить. 

И это только полбеды. Интерфейс ужасно неудобный. Например, если вы разместили габаритный куб (он тоже платный, кстати) - вы никак не сможете его переместить. Только расположить заново. Если вы примеряете мебель и захотите сдвинуть её на 10 см в сторону - придётся заново размещать куб. А разместить его с привязкой к поверхности, кстати, можно только поднеся телефон вплотную к ней - разумеется, при этом приложение потеряет ориентацию в пространстве и все слетит. И повернуть его на заданный угол и по заданной оси нельзя - только поворот двумя пальцами, который с вероятностью 50% покосит куб набекрень и придётся делать все заново. 

Разработчики, не позорьтесь и удалите приложение. Либо сделайте его нормально. В нынешнем виде оно и бесплатным никому не нужно, а за такие деньги - тем более.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2019-05-11, version 1.5.1*

Totally inaccurate by miles ,

### 1/5 — Very inaccurate

*2019-05-06, version 1.5.1*

I tested the simple measuring ruler and it doesn't work at all. The first thing is that it's very difficult to use. You have to center the camera to where you want to measure and manually move the camera around to make the measurements. From a hand coordination perspective, this is not the most accurate way to measure, since if you have slightly shaky hands, the measurement will be drastically off. A better option could be to use the finger for setting both the start and end points of the measurement.
