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.

Life made easy
The Moasure one has taken the task out of the task so to speak..where we had to measure each shape of the project and then calculate the are and volume we now do that in one east step..no need to pull our hair out anymore racking our brain to make certain we have captured every nook and cranny..the Moasure One has already started to pay for itself as no more over ordering of material saving us $ on the project and most of our sites are limited for storage room so it minimises the space we need to store materials..we highly recommend purchasing the Moasure One and extension handle as this makes the product user friendly and reduces the need to bend all the time..
This device is a game changer! In the field, potential clients are very impressed when they see you collecting measurements with Moasure. The file saving structure with the mobile app is a huge plus!
When you show up to the clients house with the Moasure device and use Moasure technology to take ur measurements for your quote, u give the customer another reason to be confident in choosing you for that job, you look professional.
We are very happy with the equipment. Very simple to setup and use, we were up in running in less than 30 minutes which 20 minutes was the video. Would highly recommend!
Worst part of this device is not having one sooner!
Since my purchase, my lawn measurements have been much faster and easier with the Moasure One. I see alot of negative remarks about the device, but I can sum those up to inexperienced users. With a little trial and error to get used to the device, I found the accuracy to be spot on. I measured many square shapes with a measuring wheel and the Moasure One to compare accuracy. Knowing the accuracy was there, it has helped me with many odd shaped, almost impossible to measure lawns. Potential customers always comment on the device, and in many cases, I land the jobs due to their level of comfort with the process the Moasure One uses to calculate the square footage of their property. I highly recommend the Moasure One to anyone who needs to measure properties for any reason.
In just a few short months of having the Moasure it has saved us countless dollars in unnecessary concrete yardage! Being more precise with our measurements has cut down the amount of concrete that just gets thrown away by almost two yards per pour. It's worth every penny!
Using the Moasure device has really simplified tracking quantities for our construction projects. We really love that you are able to save quantities and organize them into separate folders. There are so many other features we have yet to discover but we are overall happy with our purchase! Thank you
This device is excellent for accurate measuring of just about anything. When proper care is taken, you can measure rooms, wall, decks, garden beds, even a kidney-shaped pool with amazing accuracy. 2 thumbs up for Moasure.
Working for commercial landscape company we work in large volumes and plans are always changing on the fly - The moasure takes all the guess work out and helps to eliminate the need to get rid of excess materials or turf at the end of a job. It paid for itself in the 1st use!
This product has solved many issues when measuring in industrial environments. It gets the curves even when the curve is uneven. Wish we had this year's ago
At first I was a little apprehensive about the pricing, but once I began to use it, it was like a kid with a new puppy….not giving it back!! It’s saved me numerous hours and has helped me get more accurate measurements. Would highly recommend this to anyone.
While the product and measuring stick was frustrating to learn, especially measuring in lawn areas, once I got the hang of it it was very accurate. I use it for developing landscape water budgets, and it’s much more accurate than google earth for odd areas
The Moasure is so cool. Its sleek design and simple approach makes it a joy to use and boy does it work great. One thing I really love is I can email my layout or print it for reference or for clients. The company responds to questions and seems to be more than willing to listen and update the product as needed. Outstanding design, Outstanding product.

We have been a user of Moasure with Arcsite integration for editing and to scale drawings of our clients concrete decking and pools. This tool has been very effective at saving us time and money with materials being more accurately ordered because of material waist reduction/ over ordering . Also, we typically give our estimates on site which impresses our clients. I personally have had multiple jobs authorize the estimate on site because of the Moasure measurement tool. It shows a higher level of professionalism and that we know what we are doing. Thanks Moasure.
