More About ImageMeter - photo measure
A special feature is that ImageMeter enables you to measure within the image once you calibrated it with a reference object of known size. With this feature, you can also easily measure the dimensions for places which are too difficult to reach or hard to measure for other reasons. ImageMeter can take care of all perspective foreshortening and can still compute the measurements correctly.
Features (Pro version):
- measure lengths, angles, circles, and arbitrarily shaped areas based on a single reference measure,
- Bluetooth connectivity to laser distance meters for measuring lengths, areas, and angles,
- metric and imperial units (decimal and fractional inches),
- add text notes,
- freehand drawing, draw basic geometric shapes,
- export to PDF, JPEG and PNG,
- adjust brightness, contrast and saturation for better readbility of your annotations,
- draw sketches on empty canvases,
- model-scale mode (show original sizes and scaled size for building models),
- show values in imperial and metric units simultaneously,
- context sensitive cursor snapping to draw quickly and accurately,
- fast and correct value input with autocompletion,
- measure the height of poles using two reference markings on the pole.
Features of Advanced Annotation Add-On:
- import PDF, measure drawings at scale,
- audio notes, picture-in-picture for detail images,
- draw measurement strings and cumulative strings,
- sort your images into subfolders with color codes.
Business version features:
- automatically upload your photos to your OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, or Nextcloud account,
- access your photos from your desktop PC,
- backup and synchronize the images automatically between multiple devices,
- generate data tables of your measurements,
- export data tables for your spreadsheet program,
- add data tables into exported PDF.

Great tool for the quick simple job of taking one measure from a plan. A bit miffed that there was no mention of the watermark, or the free version being 'evaluation' prior to my discovery of it after exporting a jpeg. Still, if I needed it more than this one time I'd probably consider purchase, as there's a lot to like.

IF YOU NEED TO ANALYZE GEOMETRY MEASUREMENT FROM A PHOTO. THIS IS THE RIGHT APPS FOR YOU. I was very close for getting misled by the bad reviews. If you are new to this apps, skip the initial tutorials and then open the example project. The project show a very simple instruction yet in a very effective way. You just need to define the measurement reference first! Then you can continue with the measurement. You can even analyze the xyz element with this! You just need to be creative with it!

Not sure what to say or do... I love this app and have used it many times. I tried to use it now and there is a huge watermark over the image which it never had before. We where only bound by limitations. I was considering upgrading, but the price is 2-3 times higher than other apps, but the ratings are lower. Unfortunately the other apps also have watermarks so can't test them fully. Photoshop it is till I decide.

This hits all of the needs for my use case, and when I needed one little tweak to an exporting option, Dirk had it in the next update a few days later. Thank you, Dirk, it's obvious you care.

App is perfect for measuring almost anything PROVIDED YOU HAVE A KNOWN REFERENCE MEASUREMENT WITHIN THE IMAGE. At first I was skeptical about the accuracy but I was honestly amazed at it. It has a good amount of features even in the free version. I don't get the bad reviews, you just need to pick the reference scale tool from menu and place it along an already known length inputing the values for giving the software something to compute with, It's the bare minimum required if accuracy is needed.

Pretty clever app! Extremely useful! I originally downloaded this app because I needed to measure a painting that I was selling on OfferUp and didn't have a tape measure handy. Because of this app I sold my painting to an impatient customer!

I started using the app and it is a little bit complex. Unfortunately, before I had measured 1 single object, as in getting a single, actual dimension, it started with the pay wall and I said I had "measured" as many objects as the free version allowed.

Not sure why so much negatives...Been using this app for a while to design, modify and measure rc airplane plans... Its amazing!! Very satisfied although it does crash and doesn't respond occasionally...simply go back to the homepage and reopen the image, problem solved! Many thanks 👍👍

The app was crashing repeatedly because I was using GraphineOS. The developer contacted me within 10 minutes of my review. He worked with me and even went above and beyond by filing a bug report with the GrapheneOS team to troubleshoot the issue. I enabled exploit compatibility protection mode for this app under its settings and no more crashes. This was one of the best developer experiences in over 15 years of working with different Android app developers. Thank you Dirk! Now 5 stars for sure!

Perfect, perfect, perfect. Exactly what i was looking for, no adds, displays my measurements from my bluetooth tape onto the pictures, and works with my Mileseey Dt20 digital tape. I'm not a professional, I just needed an app for my home project. Thank you to whoever developed this app.

I have left reviews here in the past, but I am compelled to leave yet another. This is truly an outstanding app for anyone who needs to save measurements for anything! I survey signs and buildings and sites for signs as my work, and have been using this app for about 7 years now. Dirk is constantly improving upon it, and his support is second to none. I have only had an issue a couple of times in this stretch, and He has fixed it immediately. Do not hesitate to download this app!

I'm using this with a Leica Distro 2 and the Pro upgrade. I liked the free version, so I spent the money to get the extra features, and I'm glad I did. The free version is great for basic use. It works well and is simple to learn. I'm a chimney sweep and using the laser to measure inside fireplaces makes my job much easier. On top of the chimney it makes it much safer. (I have a Lifeproof case on my phone, which I recommend if you're going to follow my example on a roof.) To get it to work easily with the Leica, it is best to turn on the laser before opening the app. I had a little trouble getting them to synch at first, but since learning to turn on Bluetooth on the laser first I've had no trouble.

I never rate apps, but this one has been worth the Pro version. I use it to model (CAD) older buildings and structures. The ease and reliability this has when dimensioning a building or blueprints has been invaluable. Well worth the $10 for anyone who deals with blueprints or buildings on a daily basis.

I was doing this manually with a tape measure and holding it up to my phone. This is a great app! I just used it to confirm window sizes of some hard to reach windows and it was spot on. I would recommend that the app initialize on the new photo asking for the reference dimension. You need one for anything to work and I would think that would be the first step regardless.

So far I like it. I haven't used it much, but I think a transparency option for the lines or highlighter will be a good addition to the app. I guess I can use the rectangle or ellipse as a highlighter. it just won't be as simple as drawing your finger over it. It'll be a multi-step process to get the shape position/sized correctly, Thanks.

I really wanted this app to work and be awesome, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed. Inaccurate results, user interface isnt easy to get the hang of, and I never felt like I could get the little arrows positioned exactly right. But even if they were off a little bit, the measurements the app provided were wayyy off.

Very slick and easy to use. Love the zoomed picture in picture when you're making fine adjustments to points. Only complaint: I always forget which of the many different kinds of markups is the thing I have to add first in order to measure other things. More guidance in the UI would be nice. Regarding other reviews about the need for more image format support: I mostly use this app on images downloaded from auction listings, not photos from my device camera.

I don't often rate apps, but this is just great. Trying to shoot reference photos to add dimensions to... I tried every app I could find. Went through all the free apps first, came back to this one last because it costed 5 bucks. But it is well worth it. It has settings like a PC program it can do anything. Totally customizable. Super easy to use. If I could lay back and describe the perfect dimensioning app, this is even better. Someone put a lot of thought into this one. Great purchase.

This is great, take a picture, mark the scale of a known item, even add perspective if needed, then measure anything based on that scale. Like, exactly what I was looking for. Upon using it a while, measurements next to each other horribly overlap, even if I change the unit from above, horizontal, within, just bad at placement. Removed some stars
