## Description

Range Finder Tool turns your device into a powerful measurement multi-tool with augmented reality, a compass, and an inclinometer. It enables quick distance, height, and angle measurements using eight sniper-scope overlays for accuracy and a real-time AR camera view to visualize positions and directions.

Beyond single measurements, you can add multiple points on a map to measure distances between them, measure radii and angles with a radius overlay, and manage waypoints with customizable icons, images, and audio notes. The app tracks azimuth and distance, overlays them on the camera view or compass, and provides a map-based compass showing sun and moon rise/set azimuths. Screenshots capture everything on screen, and a built-in help page guides you through each feature.

## Review summary

Overall, the Range Finder Tool appears to have potential for basic distance calculations, but the consensus is that reliability and usability are major problems. Many reviews report launch failures or crashes, especially on newer iPhones or after iOS updates, along with a lack of instructions. A few users do find it works after a learning curve and see value for the price, but ongoing reliability, onboarding, and support concerns overshadow any potential usefulness.

### Pros

- Potential usefulness for basic distance calculations once you learn how to use it.
- Works for some users after mastering the controls, indicating a learning-curve usability.
- Some reviewers view the price as reasonable for the feature set.

### Cons

- Crashes frequently and app often fails to launch or open, making it unusable.
- Lack of clear instructions or onboarding; not intuitive to use without external help.
- Compatibility issues with newer devices/OS versions (e.g., iPhone 15, iOS 17.5.1).
- Perceived poor value for money with refund and support concerns (money wasted; unresponsive support).
