The ancient greek "dioptra" was a classical astronomical and surveying instrument, dating from the 3rd century BCE. The dioptra was a sighting tube or, alternatively, a rod with a sight at both ends, attached to a stand. If fitted with protractors, it could be used to measure angles.

User Reviews

Pros

Useful for collecting GPS, direction, angle, tilt, and time information in photos.
Good for specific use cases like archaeological surveys and astrophotography.
Easy interface and hard-to-improve-upon features.

Cons

Photos taken are not saving or difficult to find in the gallery.
Inaccurate GPS positioning and slow response when acquiring data.
Issues with focus and exposure settings in the camera.

Recent reviews

The bearing display is completely wrong compared to the azimuth display. The app must be using a buggy formula to convert azimuth to bearing. It has the bearing Southeasterly and Northwesterly readouts backwards (the degrees move in the wrong direction) Hasn't been updated in almost 7 years so I doubt it will be fixed.

I've used Dioptra lite for archaeological survey over years, occasionally. Although slow to acquire an accurate GPS position and with unreliable elevation data in some areas, it's design and features are hard to improve upon.
