Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the AR measurement?โ–พ

Accuracy is typically ยฑ2cm (0.8 inches) for distances up to 5 meters on iPhone XS or newer. For critical structural measurements, verify with a professional laser measure. The app is excellent for furniture planning, room measurements, and DIY projects.

Which iPhone models are compatible?โ–พ

All iPhones with A12 chip or newer (iPhone XS and later) support the AR capabilities needed. iPad Pro 2017+ also works. The app requires iOS 14 or later.

How far can I measure?โ–พ

Practically up to 10โ€“15 meters depending on lighting, iPhone model, and surface texture. Textured surfaces (wood, carpet) give better results than flat white walls. For distances beyond 15 meters, a laser measure is more reliable.

Can I measure height (vertical distances)?โ–พ

Yes. Point your iPhone vertically to measure wall height, ceiling height, door height, or any vertical distance. The AR grid works in any direction.

Does the app work offline?โ–พ

Yes. The AR measuring engine works completely offline. Your measurement history and project data also work offline. Syncing happens automatically when you reconnect.

Is my privacy protected?โ–พ

Completely. The app does not send your measurements anywhere. Everything stays on your device. Camera access is only used for measuring โ€” no recording or storage of video/images unless you explicitly save photos.
