Moasure enables you to take the following types of measurements:
Measure the size of an object.
Measure the dimensions of a room.
Measure any distance up to 100m / 325ft.
Measure the angle between two lines or two surfaces.
Tap the ‘measuring mode’ button at the bottom of the screen, and choose the mode you want to use.
How to measure the size of an object
Following the instructions on the screen, hold your phone at one side of the object and press the Start Measurement button. When instructed, move the phone to the end. Repeat to get an average measurement.
How to measure a room dimension
Following the instructions on the screen, hold your phone on one wall of the room and press the Start Measurement button. When instructed, move the phone to the other wall. Repeat to get an average measurement.
How to measuring round obstacles
Simply walk around the obstacle while measuring, and Moasure will calculate the distance through the obstacle.
Multi-step measurements
For measurements greater than 3m / 10ft, the result will be more accurate if you measure in 2 or more steps.
How to increase the accuracy of the measurements:
Pick the phone up, move it and then put it down again, rather than slide it along the surface of the object.
Move your phone smoothly through the air, holding the phone parallel to the object being measured. Avoid rotating your phone.
Take the measurement as quickly as possible. The 5-second timer bar indicates when the measurement accuracy will deteriorate. If the timer bar reaches the amber or red regions, we recommend using the multi-step measurement mode instead (coming up next).
The accuracy of the measurement can be significantly improved by repeating the measurement up to five times, and using the average value. Because of the limited accuracy of the motion sensors in your phone, we recommend taking the average of two or three measurements to be confident in the result. If one result appears very different to the others it can be deleted by tapping the [image of the cross in a circle] button.

Put your phone with either the left side of the phone aligned with the left side of the object, or the right side of your phone aligned with the right side of the object. Tap the ‘Start Measurement’ button. (You can also tap the ‘Start’ button before aligning the phone against the object). Hold the phone still against the object until Moasure indicates you should move it to the end of the measurement (about 1 second). If it still says ‘WAIT’ after a few seconds, the object may be vibrating too much. Tap the ‘Cancel’ button and start again. Quickly move the phone and align it against the other edge of the object being measured. Align the opposite edge of the phone with the edge of the measured object. Hold the phone still against the object until the measured value is displayed (about 2 seconds). Increase the accuracy of the measurement by repeating the measurement up to five times, and using the average value. Because of the limited accuracy of the motion sensors in your phone, we recommend taking the average of two or three measurements to be confident in the result. If one result appears very different from the others it can be deleted by tapping the [image of the cross in a circle] button. Watch the video to see how to average multiple measurements: Measurements will be more accurate if you pick the phone up, move it and put it down again, rather than slide it along the surface of the object. Accuracy will also be improved by taking the measurement quickly. The 5-second timer bar indicates when the accuracy will deteriorate. If the timer bar reaches the amber or red regions, we recommend using the multi-step measurement mode instead.
4. Single distance Portrait’ measurement mode
“Tap the ‘measuring mode’ button at the centre bottom of the screen, and choose the mode you want to measure with. The currently selected mode is used to measure the distance between two surfaces up to 3m / 10ft apart, e.g. the distance between two walls to measure a room dimension. Watch the video clip to see how to measure in this mode. Put your phone with the back of the phone against the first surface e.g. against a wall. Tap the ‘Start Measurement’ button. (You can also tap the ‘Start’ button before placing the phone against the surface). Hold the phone stationary against the surface until Moasure indicates you should move it to the end of the measurement (about 1 second). If it still says ‘WAIT’ after a few seconds, the surface may be vibrating too much. Tap the ‘Cancel’ button and start again. Quickly move the phone and put the back of it against the second surface, e.g. the opposite wall. Hold the phone stationary against the surface until the measured value is displayed (about 2 seconds). Moasure takes the thickness of your phone into account when calculating the measurement result. Increase the accuracy of the measurement by repeating the measurement up to five times, and using the average value.

Precision
Have two units out in the field and won’t not give them up.
As a landscape designer we often take a lot of measurements, beyond the laser tool we use to gather data the moasure device has made or jobs a lot easier. It's a little tricky to figure out at first but once you get it times are cut in half for gathering all of your data. A lot of useful features and they work seamlessly with the app/monopod.
Brilliant product, don’t know what to do with all the spare time it saves me, accurate and efficient.
A definite must to have the stick with it saves a lot of hassle and confusion with the unit.
As a contractor, especially and outdoor living space contractor, there are always obstacles that stand in the way of accurate pricing. After multiple jobs needing more material than expected (at no cost to the customer of coarse) we invested in Moasure. It’s pie for itself 100 times over by giving and accurate estimate and depiction of the space including rises and grade.
Hands down one of the top measuring tools in the industry!
after using the moasure one with the stick and finally getting the hang of it - it has turned out to be a HUGE help. I was skeptical as to its accuracy both measuring flat areas & basic SF measurements and elevation measurements but both i have confirmed with previous measurements taken on site with tradition methods. i have found it to be extremely helpful and much faster than taking traditional elevation measurements with a rod and transit especially being it converts the points to CSV which then can be imported into autocad. I am still getting the hang of it and working with all its features, but in the month or so i have had it, i have to say i am impressed and am so glad that i took the chance and bought it.
The ability to quickly and accurately develop a 3D model of my client’s topography has increased the accuracy of estimates and design drawings. It takes a little getting used to but the Moasure device is really changing the game for as-built modeling and is an excellent use of technology.
I think Measure® One™ will be extremely useful once incorporated into my workflow. The ability to measure laterally (x,y) and get change in elevation (z) is great. Even better, the ability to generate an excel file of the measurements that can be imported into my CAD (Vectorworks) program will be a massive time saver.
I love the accuracy and time-saving for my Pool Construction company!
This is such a great little tool. It fits right into my clipboard for easy access to use on all my first appointments where I take measurements. It helps me immensely with my measurements for producing great 3D renders for my customers and getting things super accurate for the paperwork I need to submit for Architecture/Engineering and Permitting. The best part is, there are still more features to learn as I'm only scratching the surface. Even using a few of the options available, I'm already saving loads of time in measuring and space in my bag. It helps me to look more professional and technologically savvy to my customers and sets me apart from my competitors. Pretty soon I'll be good so good with it, I might have to just give my tape measure away to someone else.
I love my Moasure ONE! It has made my job easier and increased my productivity. It was easy to set up and easy to use. I am using mine almost everyday.
I have recommended the Moasure ONE to my co-workers.
Thanks,
Playgrounds made easy to measure with this device by moasure, our time savings and accuracy of the different shapes we typically measure by old school Lufkin wheel on the ground trying to push it so gently thought woodchips and sand and making mistakes.
We highly recommend this device its easy to learn and easy to use . it has saved us allot of money in time and material savings . !
Moasure Group,
I was able to use your first rate field tool requirement. I thought it would only function outdoors, but it's really the best indoors and out. Thanks again for the solid design and function.
We are an asphalt company, when we work for cities and we pave lot of patches it helps us to be fast and real in out measurement. Moasure it s 100% a gain time
