Description

Note: This app is discontinued and will no longer receive updates, maintenance and support. It should still work if you do download it - you must follow the instructions.

Height Ruler is an app which uses your device's barometer to detect air pressure changes and calculates an object's height.

IMPORTANT! Please check if your device is supported before downloading.

With Height Ruler, you can easily measure anything. For example, to measure your height, just place your phone on the floor, then on your head and back to the floor and this app will do the rest. Then, you will get your height in meters or feet and inches! 

***Please note that you should disable silent mode and turn up the volume to be able to hear audible feedback of whether the measurement is complete.

***Do minimise movements when measuring as doing so would disturb the air pressure and thus yield inaccurate results.

*Developed by Wern Jie, 16.

• Works with just your device.
• Easy to follow instructions.
• Measures height to a maximum accuracy of ± 8cm (± 3 inches).

Supported devices:
• iPhone 6 or later, except iPhone SE

Not accurate at all

Don't bother

Developer Response ,

Hi,

Sorry for your experience with the app. This app measures with higher accuracy when your device is extremely stable and no hand shakes are included, such as while measuring the height of a table. There is also an accuracy gauge that states how accurate the measurement is just below the measurement displayed.

The reason it only measures accurately while its stable and not shaking, is because by moving your phone, you influence the reading of the "barometer" sensor in your phone, which reduces the accuracy. Try measuring something static, don't move your device while measuring, and be amazed by the results :)

Hope it works!
