Great Measuring App

Great Measuring App

Aug 25, 2016 | Posted by Kirk Axelson | Tips or Concerns |

The best Tool for Measuring

PhotoMeasure Icon

Back in the day I would outline the window on paper and fill in the dimensions, then take pictures of the window if needed.

Then I found this very cool app called “Photo Measure” by Big Blue Pixel. The app costs less than $7.00, there is lite version for FREE! I’ve been using Photo Measure for over 3 years and love it.

I use this app for all our jobs . By taking a picture and having the specs on the photo is like 1000’s words!

BestMeasuringApp I can return later to the project and recall critical information or explain issues with the designer after measuring.

Most of our jobs the designer doesn’t have to worry about writing up pesky work order, as we read off the photo and determine the correct rod width & finished length after discussing details with designer. Then we push out a detail job summary and detail report proposal.

Another feature Photo Measure has is the ability to email, message or export to Dropbox. This allows to quickly drag the photos from Dropbox to job folder with little time at all.
