About Surveyor

With Surveyor, you can measure distances by placing markers on a virtual ground that is overlaid on the camera image.

Surveyor locks the virtual ground to the real world so no matter which direction you turn to, the markers will always stay where it is originally placed.

Distances between each markers are calculated and displayed on the screen in the unit system you specified. With the pro version you can place more than 2 markers and even get the area of the space surrounded by the markers.

While this app is very easy to use, and needs no further instructions as others cry about, and based on sound trig principles, the calculated results are WAY off. even when taking care to first input a very accurate "HI". Which, doing otherwise, would of course produce linearly induced measured distance errors. I used an HI of 3.25' and the result was off by 2' over a mere 9' actual distance. This on a LG G2. Will try again on a different device.

Good idea but poor execution. Grid rotates awkwardly. Measuring from standing to desk doesn't work. Add a feature which detects the a4 sheet of paper at varying distances and you may end up with a winner.

NEEDS A2SD !! Eff. installed size≈0.9MB •Works very well •There's a reason why "Surveyor" is a profession! If you don't do geometry, USE A STRING!

Works pretty well after one figures out that one needs to adjust the camera height from the floor on the left.

Not that accurate, but good idea

M70%

Popup height would be mighty swell

N70%
by N####:

It does what it says: measure the distance between two points on the same horizontal plane. The GUI is a bit cluttered, and the app a bit sluggish.

Awesome is the word !!

In theory this app sounds great, but on my Nexus 10 it inverts the x and y axes and cannot be used. It also lacks explanations and customisations.

Y70%

I tapped the beginning mark but nothing happened. I walked a distance and got no reading. Lousy app.

C70%

Lack of customization...

T70%

Идея хорошая, выглядит - тоже. Но практическое использование по причине крайне низкой точности крайне затруднительно.

by Y####:

Don't always have a tape measure on me, but I always have my phone! Wouldn't trust it for exact measurements tho.

Y70%
by Y####:

Too high a learning curve for as little as I would use it. If I needed something like this on an everyday basis, I'd take the time to figure it out. As it is, I've spent more time figuring out how it works, tweaking the technique than if I just pulled out a tape measure and did it myself.

Y70%
by Y####:

App is good. Just have to mess with it and get the hang of it. But pretty good.

B70%
by B####:

Works on phone but not tablet. The floor is sideways no matter what. No option to change. Useless on tablet.
