Sonar Ruler

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.

>> Impress your friends with what this unique app can accomplish using only an iphone! <<

Ϟ GIZMODO.com:
“that’s a damned neat trick for a phone to be able to do.”

Ϟ Currently the number one app in Denmark! Heck yes!

Features:
* Sonic distance measurement up to 60 feet
* Set Units to feet, inches, or meters
* Custom saved settings for measuring in different environments

If you’re a teacher, this app is a great way to teach students the principles of sonar, and how sound propagates through air.

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

    Hi,

    This app looks amazing! If you live in Canada however, you’ll never know just how amazing it really is! I bought this app a few weeks ago after seeing it featured on television, but it will not work because I live in Canada. Is this app a threat to Canada’s national security? What should I do? Wait for an update? Get a refund? Sit on the app until the AppleCare Warranty expires on my iPod Touch, then jailbreak it so I can use the Sonar Ruler?

    nowhere there is a mention about its accuracy.
    Can you elaborate?
