There are only 2 tools that give you the accuracy for woodworking, either the talking tape measure (the one with the british accent) or the Click Rule from Community Advocates. Both give you accuracy to 1/16 of an inch or 1mm if you set the tape to metric or buy the metric version of the Click Rule. It's a bit easier to do longer pieces with the tape, but the Click Rule is awesome. Anyhow, since this departs from the iOS discussion I'll stop here, just thought I throw it in as a comparison to this app. If there are any serious woodworkers on here who are looking for advice on either the talking tape measure or the click rule, please feel free to contact me personally at [email protected], I've been doing it for a long time and tried all sorts of things.

I could see it working though once one is practiced with moving it and not moving too far or stopping short.

Measuring a drive or a room would be good, can't see it doing any good for woodwork though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Beaver" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 25, 2015 7:57 PM Subject: Flying Ruler it works Hi, For anyone who has the need to measure things or distances this app works. It works by starting the app then picking your phone up and moving it to the distance you want measured. It works and seems fairly accessible. Just thought some of you might be interested.
