Measure objects with your iPhone camera in one tap. Point at something and tap once. Snappy Measure finds the object, draws a frame around it, and gives you . No tape measure and no placing endpoints by hand. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Other measuring apps ask you to mark each corner individually to measure an object in view. Snappy Measure skips those steps, so you get a usable estimate in far less time. One tap gives you width and height together. Want to be specific about what you're measuring? Turn on Trace and circle an object with your finger. It measures what you circled, without tapping multiple times. WHAT IT'S FOR • Clothing — measure a shirt you already own before buying online • Rooms — length and width without digging out a tape • Furniture and appliances — work out whether it fits • Anything you need a close-enough answer for, quickly Use it when you need a close-enough answer quickly. ADJUST ANYTHING Drag the corner dots to fine-tune the fit. The numbers update as you go. SAVE WHAT YOU MEASURED Save a photo with the measurements written on it, straight to your camera roll. METRIC OR U.S. UNITS Switch between centimeters and inches any time in Settings. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UNLOCK Snappy Measure is free and supported by ads. A one-time purchase removes them permanently — no subscription. Snappy Measure requires a compatible iPhone running a current version of iOS. Questions or problems: support@snappymeasure.com
