iPinPoint application is used in the Columbia Public Schools in Columbia, Missouri, where students record the angle on pictures that were taken around the school.

"...One smartphone application (iPinPoint) was reliable for measurements of the hallux valgus angles by either experienced or nonexperienced observers.." Here is the link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28231958/ Upgrade to version Pro and enable the zoom feature and the feature to create projects. With iPinPoint you can use the built in camera or the GPS device to: 1) Compute the magnitude of an angle or the length of an object 2) Compute the length of different objects simultaneously 2) Compute the radius, area and perimeter of any circle 3) Compute the area and perimeter of any triangle 4) Compute various angles that are important in Orthopedics, e.g., Cobb, Baumann, and Humerotrochlear angle iPinPoint is an easy to use app to measure the magnitude of angles and length of objects. Use the iPhone camera to pinpoint the dimensions of the object of interest. iPinPoint will give the magnitude of an angle, the length of the object, the radius/area/perimeter of a circle, and the area/perimeter of a triangle You may visit our website for a preview of the zoom feature.

Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iPinPoint holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Measure has 1.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of iPinPoint's written reviews are positive against 27% of Measure's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iPinPoint ships an update every 11 months, Measure every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
