6 Use Your Phone as an Augmented Tape Measure (or Level)

While the level feature isn’t new, it’s moved from the Compass app to Apple’s new Measure app. Measure is pretty cool, it lets user point their camera at an object and measure it in augmented reality. Most of the time it’s pretty accurate, but I’d say it could use some fine-tuning.

To use the app just tap at one end of an object and then the other to draw a line. The app even detects rectangles and lets you measure them with one tap. You can also take a picture of your measurements to save or share. Fishermen and fisherwomen will now be able to share their epic stories with proof!
