You can continue measure the height of object by lock the distance and aim the cameras at the top of target object, as shows in the preview image. The only parameter required in this mode is the lens height, which is the height of your camera height to the base plane.

sometimes says my coffee table is 143 thousand meters away no matter what lense height i set

I believe your app is great. What other people don't realize when rating your application is that you provide a FREE SERVICE. This app is not a 100% accurate, it is however very close to 100% at close to mid range (1-50 feet), and height (1-25 feet). People who take things for free should not be critics. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Thanks guys.

This works fine for me in the field of construction. As for those who gave negative reviews they might have forgotten to to read the instruction/s before using the software. Thanks guys for this.

Chucked my phone on a tripod set a tape measure 10, 20 and 50 meters and measured the hight from how far the phone was of the ground and it got all 3 measurements pretty much dead on obviously people can estimate heights and it was a bit more difficult free handing with out the tripod but definitely possible and this app definitely works going to make my small game archery hunting that bit easier

Absolute garbage. I aimed it at a mark 33 meters away, it said 50 meters then 100 meters then finally rested at 1,000,000,000 meters

The app is unable to provide distance measuring for objects that are at the same level or higher than the phone (which explains why the instructions indicate aiming at the objects). Distance measuring of small nearby objects is very inaccurate too (eg, 3 feet).

M70%
by M####:

Unfortunately the range is all over the place and never indicated even close to what the real range was under any conditions, it simply does not work at all.

Y70%
by Y####:

Explended, what you must do is aim to the object set your vinger on the eyeslide it up or down until you ricth zerro distance and lock then move divice up or left or right then you get the exact readings.

Unable to tell true distance. Likes to jump between numbers. Sometimes I get 60 yds others it says 1000000 yds at same distance. Uninstalling

I have this aiming across my room and what should be 12 feet shows up between 176feet and 1 million feet..

It's actually an app that works! Seriously, and I'm a proper sceptical bar-Steward for at least abit of honesty on if a app actually works like it should!!!

C70%
by C####:

I just want an app that tells me how far away an object is by pointing my phone camera at it. Is that too much to ask? This is too complex and has features I don't want.

U70%
by U####:

I've measured the distance of a door of my room. I kept the height of camera 2.66 feet on a table and accurately measured the height of camera. Then I placed the phone camera still on table locked the distance of base of door locked the height of door. It gave me result of 15 feet and 7 feet. I checked it with measuring tape and found it accurate. Nice and accurate app until you know the exact height of lense of camera and keep it still on the same position when locking distance and height. Nice. Thanks

U70%
by U####:

I put phone on the floor to have a stable base. The issue is that adding the lens height with slider is very finicky. Measuring will become inevitable inaccurate. Adding +/- button for fine tuning would help A LOT. Profiles would be good too. So I can use my shoulder as a stable base or the ground and don't have to remember the numbers. Could you also include the zoom function from the manual distance app? Question: how do I measure an object which base is above lens height e.g Window in 2nd floor?

U70%
by U####:

This app works pretty well I use it for checking the distance when I hit the range and it's more or less spot on. The only issue is have found with it is the height of the camera adjuster is a little awkward on the slider.

Is the title states this is my first app of this type still getting use to it but so far so good. My experiments so far come within 1 to 3 feet of my target. I don't use it for tree or building height I use it for hunting. A version for hunting would be nice eliminate some of the height controls and read outs

U70%
by U####:

So far so good. I measured from the ground and set the prompt. Afterwards, I measured . It was right on.

This is going to in very handy for sighting in my scope

Worked as a rough measure but it really could use a zoom for more accurate longe distance measuring, if possible.
