Partometer3D - camera measure for Android
A reasonably accurate app nearly crippled by some of the worst documentation ever written. The best first step to learning this app is to eliminate the Reference Object Line feature--go right to Preferences and drop it, it's clutter that serves no essential function--and to *fix* your reference object rectangle in place (long press the "W/H" area in the lower left side of the screen) or you run the risk of DESTROYING the measuring grid by inadvertently moving the corners of your reference plane when you start moving rulers around. And make sure the object that you're measuring is confined *exactly* in the measuring plane or the accuracy will drop dramatically. The limits inherent in this type of measuring system become apparent fairly soon, but still reasonably accurate, so 3 stars, 4 stars when those awful user guide pages are rewritten.
Read the description carefully-- this app does not work quite the way it is marketed This app DOES NOT allow you to measure in 3 dimensions. It is only a 2d measuring app. You lay down a known size reference object (a credit card or a piece of notebook paper for example) and and in your photo you use that to define the reference plane. You can then measure any 2 dimensional object in that plane only. After playing with the app, I understand why this limitation exists, but it should be made more clear before people buy. Some other issues... There is NO documentation-- the video here is it. Watch it before you buy. At least on my phone (an Lg G3), the UI is laggy and nearly unusable.. Even when it works, the UI is non-intuitive.
Buying this on recommendation from the developer after previously purchased his Millimeter Pro Screen Ruler. Looks interesting so far, will revise after playing around with it.
I have it 5 stars because it won't let me give it note. It is worth every penny!
Worth to purchase
Seemed useful for quick measurements in the field but not intuitive enough. Just carry my calipers, etc is easier.
Measured object 18.5inches long. App see its only 17inches
not as it suppose to be 1.cannot load picture from gallery for measurement 2.when change mode of measure from line to circle and to other taken pic will lost and need to retake again 3.same effect then phone ring and other pop-up 4.cannot zoom 5.cannot change different type of arrow 6. ellipse? 7.what about a buttom for option on screen.
Still not happy with instructions. Please write them for dummies to understand. That said. Take very good pictures (get an app to improve picture quality) use as large a reference rectangle as you can and the app works. I will use the app to get measurments from inside and outside of buildings for making bids for work to do. I recomend -- purchase the app -- then use your head. You will be happy. Sorry about the first review.
App works but doesn't have a vast library of reference objects and requires you to set a frame of points over the object to get reference size. Also doesn't detect dimensions automatically. Should save dimensions of objects in the app for later use.
Vistech have carved a niche for useful well written properly tested Apps that always actually work and work well. Quality Control is exemplary No uneccessary bells and whistles, it just does what it says on the tin. Keep up the good work!
Seems like it could be pretty cool. It is complicated enough to need some directions or a help file, which I have yet to find.
This app seems to good to be true. Only as accurate as you define the reference object. We will be using this tool as one part of our inspection procedures.

Great app, I would like a pinch to zoom and a windows version so I can use it on a large screen
Excell
This is a truly great product in that it takes perspective into account when measuring distances and angles. But its not truly 3D capable because objects that are not within the extension of your reference plane (i.e., credit cards) cannot accurately be measured with this. For example, try measuring angle of upper corner of a book that is placed in vertically upright position on your reference plane. This program will overestimate the angle because it assumes the angle is on the reference plane. Be aware!
Brilliant app
Great app. Very useful to me; nothing else like it. Plus it's just really cool how it works.
This app surely proofs that a phone can do more than just communications. Very useful and easy to use.
il programma funziona e' il telefono che fa schifo!
Cool.
Ok nice app but once you get the quadrant points off screen there is no reset. Very frustrating.
Not very accurate. Looking for more accuracy. Thanks
Once working the measurements it came out with for a table were not accurate. I used the A4 reference and measured both sides of the table both were difference.
I wish you had integrated these features into the original partometer app instead of making me buy two. But never the less you deserve the support and 5 stars
This is a great addition to diskometer. Thanks!

Fix quadrant reset Ok nice app but once you get the quadrant points off screen there is no reset. Very frustrating.
Rubbish Doesn't have accurate measurements. Totally hopeless. Cannot even calibrate it. Sort it out guys....
