Hi Backers,
Well, our manufacturing has just shutdown for the Chinese Spring festival celebrations, in other words for the next 2-3 weeks. We’ve had an engineer present in the factory during the last two weeks, and have been really impressed with the approach taken by our manufacturing partner, covering all aspects of production.
Progress since the last update includes:
Perhaps the most exciting news for our backers is that the delay caused by the Chinese New Year shutdown has provided us with the opportunity to upgrade the motion sensor hardware in the Moasure ONE. We’re certainly very excited by this development. Not only will the upgraded sensors produce more accurate measurements than the original motion sensors under more conditions, but they also provide us with the opportunity to continue improving Moasure ONE’s measurement performance after they’ve left the factory, through over-the-air software updates. It was a difficult decision to make because even though we knew we’d be improving the product we ship to you, we also knew it would have an impact on the delivery schedule. But thanks to all the in-house Moasure team and the fantastic support of our supply-chain partners - who are frankly pulling a rabbit out of a hat for us - we’ve limited the impact to less than one week - a not insignificant achievement! We know it was the right decision to take and we hope you agree that it's worth waiting that little bit longer to get an improved product. We now expect to start shipping Moasure ONE to our backers by the 28th February.
Some backers have been trying to download the Android Moasure app from the Play Store, only to find that their phone is not supported. I’d like to make clear that the current version of the app uses your phone’s internal motion sensors for measuring, so we check that your phone has the necessary sensors before enabling you to download the app. Once the updated version of the Moasure app that supports the Moasure ONE is released, we will remove this restriction, since the app will no longer rely on the phone’s internal sensors (although if you don’t have your Moasure ONE to hand and do have the necessary sensors in your phone, you can still use the Moasure app with just your phone). If you are using our app, we’d really appreciate it if you could write a review in the app store.
We took Moasure ONE to the CES show in Las Vegas at the beginning of January, and I’m pleased to say we had a very positive show, and met a couple of our backers in person. We even won the show’s ‘Hottest Startup’ competition. You can find out more here: Moasure @ CES
Finally, we’re aware from some of the questions we receive that for some reason not all backers get to see each update we send out. The best way to reliably stay up to date with us is to follow us on one of our social channels:

I use this product to measure complex roofing systems for Commerical project management. Previously we were paying a company for each measurement and it wasn’t always exact. Moasure has allowed me to measure accurately on-site and have my drawing upload to my software for easy take offs the product is easy to use, and easy to carry with me on jobs. Would highly recommend this to anyone needing exact measurements for projects like mine.
I my Moasure is awesome! It’s helped me so much since I received it in Dec. It’s helped with new builds and remodels. A change in elevation can change the entire backyard design and is so necessary to be aware of Cost wise and design wise. I’m still learning all the features and can’t wait to explore what’s it’s truly capable of
We use our measure device to measure existing concrete. It is the quickest way to get a accurate measurement which is required when needing to be sure the proper amount of product is ordered prior to a job. We've used all the others and there is not comparison when needing to be quick and accurate. We highly recommend measure.
I was skeptical on spending this much on a measuring tool but now I’m glad I did
Contractors appraisals homeowners should all have this save time and money and get professional layouts
As a garden and landscape designer, I have relied on pulling long measurers for years. It can become quite a burden with irregular shaped hardscapes, lawns, or garden beds … a lot of time wishing I could be focusing on creativity! But now with Moasure, I can get the raw data much more quickly and spend more time focusing on plant selection and the needs of our clients. We LOVE it!
Outstanding efficient device. saves time, correctly measures and in puts into Cad/sketch up seamlessly. Easy to learn. a must have in construction!
We are a tent rental company based in Montréal Canada, and we fell in love with the product. With Moasure, we can provide fast and accurate readings in under 5 minutes. Using the 3d function, we can rapidly and precisely measure the perimeter and elevation of any terrain and save it in a folder under the customer name. Site surveys used to be a cumbersome two men operation. Now our salesmen can single handedly do the work.
Long life to MOASURE!
This tool is awesome. What used to take hours with multiple measurement devices and systems now takes a fraction of the time and the data is easily portable and ready to use to make large scale drawings for planning, or immediate decisions in the field. There is a small learning curve but tutorials in the app and suggestions on improved use are always readily available and easy to work with.
I purchased this product for my brother in law for Christmas and it was his favorite gift. He literally carries it everywhere and uses it every chance he gets. He is a landscaper and said this has helped him so much. At this point I know how to also use it since he gives us a class on it every time we are in the same room as him. He is so fascinated at how suck a small tool can do so much. Would definitely purchase again.
This is an awesome tool. I previously used a wheel for measuring buildings, Moasure is light years ahead of that. Drawings are easily transferred, and the time savings are substantial. Thank you, Moasure!
Great integration of traditional measuring techniques with digital technology. There is a sensitivity about handling the puck, timing, and navigating, once understood, makes the experience using the device enjoyable. Best part is seeing the data via the companion app and the ease of exporting the data to CAD for integration into designs. No laborious note taking and transcribing numbers with this process.
We are surprisingly impressed. This is very accurate and easy to use and allows us to do a site survey in very little time. It is easy to take this information and put in the cad files. I would strongly recommend it.
My son was so very happy I gave the moasure to him for Christmas. He has already used it several times and said it has made his jobs so much easier and he also said the stick was great. He can’t wait to start school back next week and use it on school projects.
Thank you
Since getting moasure I went from 10 sales a month to 15 I think it just the wow factor that moasure has on the clients knowing they already getting the most accurate and precise measurements.
I absolutely LOVE my Moasure. Recently I started my 2nd career- selling playgrounds. The Moasure is an EXCELLENT resoure that gives so many data points to help with each individual project. I ALWAYS keep my moasure close at hand to capture the measurements that would otherwise take hours to obtain. Get.You.A.Moasure!
