RulerPhone

I was asked to look at an app called RulerPhone. I must say, this is an interesting concept and allow me to explain.

The premise is that you set a card-sized object next to anything that you would like to measure and the application allows you to find semi-precise measurements by comparing sizes.

To begin, you use an image saved on your iPhone or just take a picture. Simply place a credit-card sized object up against the object and take a photograph. You then adjust the the scales for the card first, then the measured object.

The application will then show you the estimation. The estimation can be shown in feet, or just inches, Metric or English measuring system, and more options as well.

I think this app is - how do I say it- fun to use. I don’t think this app is something that will be used on a daily basis, but something that would be used to show off the iPhone itself. Many of us have tape measure or rulers to help us out with measuring things but I’ll be honest, its a cool app.
