works as advertised
This app works as advertised. It has surprising accuracy at around +/- .5" or better. There are a lot of options, but it is surprisingly easy to use. Very little adjustment is needed for most measuring. The interface is good, but some components (sliders) could stand to be larger for easier manipulation. To get good measurements, all you have to do is place the orange dot at the peak of the wave, and locate the blue dots around the larger portions of the wave. Some adjustments are needed to measure thing that are very close (under 1 foot). The most difficult part is analyzing the results and throwing away the measurements that arent correct. The correct one tends to stay steady, while the phantom results come and go. Overall, the app is quite an amazing utilization of the iphone hardware.
