Sonar Ruler vs House Radar

Sonar Ruler is a winner in the Best App Ever Awards - "Most innovative use of iPhone hardware" category! The Amazing New Sonar Ruler is an experimental app that uses echoes to measure distances with your iPhone! It uses the same principles that dolphins use to find food! It sends a short pulse from the speaker and measures how long that pulse takes to bounce off of something and return to the phone. It then estimates how far away you are. Use two devices to find the distance between them, without any wifi connection! Use "quiet" mode - with ultrasonic frequencies most people can't hear! Impress your friends with what this unique app can accomplish using only an iphone! GIZMODO.com: "that's a damned neat trick for a phone to be able to do." Features: - Set Units to feet, inches, or meters - Custom saved settings for measuring in different environments If you're a teacher, this app is a great way to teach students the principles of sonar, and how sound propagates through air. Enjoy! Follow us on twitter @LaanLabs NOTE: This is an experimental app, although it can be quite accurate, any measurements taken should be verified before using them.

House Radar finds the things in your home that send a signal — phones, earbuds, watches, TVs and speakers — and walks you to them. Open the app and Home tells you what you can do. Tap a card and go. FIND SOMETHING YOU LOST Pick the device and walk. The screen goes from cold blue to hot red as you get closer, with a word that says Warmer, Colder or Right here, and fast beeps when you are on it. When this iPhone can hear it on Bluetooth, an arrow points the way. New here? "How to find something" walks you through it in 6 steps. SEE WHAT'S ON YOUR WI-FI Quick scan lists the devices on the Wi-Fi you're on, with plain names — right from your iPhone. SEE BLUETOOTH AROUND YOU Earbuds, watches, speakers and trackers this phone can hear, closest first. WHOLE-HOUSE FINDING (OPTIONAL) Add a free home base on a Mac that stays on at home. House Radar then lists everything on your home network, flags what just came online, and shows the room for devices you place or that a listener in that room hears. Set up your home walks you through it. No Mac? Tap Try a demo house to see the full hunt with pretend devices. Name your devices once and they follow your account to any iPhone. Signal strength is a guide, not a tape measure — it ranks what is closer.
