Measures distances using ultrasonic pulses. Users send a sound wave and calculate distance based on echo return time. The displays real-time measurements in inches or centimeters. It works outdoors and indoors for accurate readings.
Sonar Ruler is a winner in the Best App Ever Awards - "Most innovative use of iPhone hardware" category!
The Amazing New Sonar Ruler is an experimental app that uses echoes to measure distances with your iPhone!
* It uses the same principles that dolphins use to find food! *
It sends a short pulse from the speaker and measures how long that pulse takes to bounce off of something and return to the phone. It then estimates how far away you are.

*This is an experimental app, although it can be quite accurate, any measurements taken should be verified before using them.
