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.

Time and money saver
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!
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!
