BathCheck helps occupational therapists, mobility specialists, families, and individuals measure a bathroom and assess whether ShowerBuddy transfer equipment may fit — before committing to a purchase or arranging an in-person consultation. Designed for ShowerBuddy bathroom-mobility equipment, BathCheck provides a guided measurement and fit-assessment workflow on your phone or tablet. HOW IT WORKS Work through the guided step-by-step wizard. BathCheck prompts you to measure key bathroom dimensions — width, length, bath height, door clearances, and more — using annotated diagrams that show what to measure. Enter your measurements and BathCheck provides fit guidance for ShowerBuddy equipment (SB1, SB2, or SB2T), including relevant accessories and configuration options for the recorded bathroom layout. Results are based on the information entered and should be reviewed with the assessor or supplier. WHAT YOU GET • Measurement-based fit guidance for supported ShowerBuddy models • Equipment configuration guidance and relevant accessory recommendations • A cushion and sizing matrix — available in metric and imperial — to help select the right seating • The option to email your completed assessment to yourself, a therapist, or a supplier • The ability to save and review assessment history • Detailed product information and PDF reference materials, all accessible offline FOR OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS AND MOBILITY SPECIALISTS BathCheck helps prepare for a consultation by collecting the relevant measurements and assessment details in one guided flow. The app supports therapist, supplier, and end-user workflows, and accepts a client reference for record-keeping. LANGUAGES BathCheck v8 is available in English, German, French, and Spanish. The app guides you through language selection on first launch and the setting can be changed at any time. ABOUT SHOWERBUDDY Use BathCheck to collect bathroom measurements and review ShowerBuddy product and accessory information before discussing the assessment with an authorised supplier.

About

Horizon Capture

Features
Read full description

Use the camera and built-in motion sensors to sight along your local horizon and record the altitude and azimuth of surrounding obstructions such as trees, buildings, hills and observatory walls. As you capture points, Horizon Capture builds a live polar representation of your observing horizon so you can immediately see the profile taking shape. The first captured point is clearly identified, while a live position marker shows where the phone is currently pointing, making it easy to work your way around the horizon. Designed for astronomers Horizon Capture is intended for telescope users who need a practical way to map their local observing horizon for planning, automation and observatory configuration. Features include: * Live camera sighting view * Altitude and azimuth measurement * True-north heading where available * Heading accuracy indication * Front and rear camera support * Live polar horizon display * Visual start-point marker * Live current-position marker * Undo individual measurements * Export horizon coordinates as .hrz * Export the same data as plain text Horizon profiles are stored during your capture session and exported only when you choose. Whether you are mapping trees from a backyard pier, an observatory wall, a neighbouring roofline or a distant ridge, Horizon Capture provides a quick way to turn the visible horizon into usable Alt/Az data.
