This app and the laser device combined make for a tremendous time-saver. Not to mention the safety benefits of not having to climb up ladders or get in bucket trucks to take existing building measurements. This is accurate enough to use for project estimates acknowledging the +- factor. As long as I can get enough distance and get a straight on view of the building as possible, I can take photos with the app in a few minutes and do the measuring back at the office. Just need to keep in mind where I put that red dot to make sure I am getting the right dimensions for particular surfaces. Works great! Love it- thank you! Now just need an update for the 14 Pro!

This review is only for the app, not the tool that goes along with the app. I used this device several years ago and thought it was amazing. So I spent the money to buy one recently and I could not be more disappointed in their app. The device still seems to work properly and can be useful. But this app needs a lot of work. The biggest problem is that it won’t orientate to landscape mode on the iPad. Who uses an iPad in portrait orientation? The videos on the website show people using it in landscape. The app looks like it’s been neglected. For starters when you log in with your email and password, the background is white, but the text is also white so you can not see what you’ve typed. Menus have black text on a black background making it really hard to read. But more than anything is just looks cheap. Given the $500 price tag for the laser I’m really shocked their app is so poor. I really wish apple would let us upload photos in these reviews to show you what it looks like.

This has been sitting unopened in my coworkers desk for 3 years. Works pretty well
