The telephone has long been transformed from a means of communication into a multifunctional gadget. But are we using all its capabilities to the fullest? By installing additional applications, you can turn your smartphone into a tool bag. They are useful for home repairs and more.

This app measures the length of small objects using touches. Multi-touch and selection of units of measurement (meter/inch) are supported. After launching the application, you need to place the object to be measured on the display of your smartphone or tablet, aligning one edge with the zero mark and touching the screen at the second edge. If the result is inaccurate, you need to calibrate.

The electronic protractor uses the built-in gyroscope of a smartphone, which is now found in almost every model. It determines the angle of inclination of the phone relative to the coordinate axes. The modern housing design with flat edges contributes to accurate measurements. Just place the side of the phone once morest the desired object and record the result. If you turn on the camera inside the application, you can determine the tilt of distant objects.

This is a classic bubble level in electronic implementation. It allows you to align horizontal and vertical lines when, for example, you hang a picture on a wall. There is a zero calibration, and a choice of slope units in degrees, radians and percentages. There is a screen lock to save the result.

This device not only determines the distance to an object, but also calculates its height using the rules of trigonometry. The tool is designed for average distances from 1 to 50 meters and uses a smartphone camera. It can be used to measure a person’s height, the height of a wall or a tree. In order for the result to be accurate, you need to point the camera at the base of the object being measured, fixing the smartphone at one point. Calibration, virtual horizon display and screen capture are provided.

A highly specialized tool that can be useful when assembling furniture or during home repairs. Has a caliper mode and a choice of units of measurement in meters or inches. Supports measurement of various types of threads: metric, pipe tapered (NPT) and tapered (BSPT), as well as SAE screw standards. Some options are only available in the paid version.

This tool measures light using the screen’s brightness adjustment sensor. It is located on the front of the device near the front camera. To obtain an accurate result, it is important to position the smartphone correctly. The maximum value is obtained by the luminous flux directed perpendicular to the sensor plane. The tool can detect the flickering of a light source and build a graph of fluctuations. Unfortunately, you cannot save it, you can only watch it in real time.

The application uses the smartphone’s built-in magnetic sensor. Check its availability in the device specification. This tool will not help you find treasure, but it will find a nail in the wall under the wallpaper, and will also show the direction of the wiring relative to the outlet. The measured magnetic field induction in microtesla (μT) and a graph of its change in real time depending on the distance to the metal object are displayed on the smartphone screen.

Of course, the error of such tools is higher than that of individual professional devices, but in many cases their accuracy will be sufficient. We selected applications from the Smart Tools package with Russian language support. If you wish, you can download paid versions, where the functionality will be expanded and advertising will be disabled.

⚽ This one test Only true fans of the Russian national team pass without errors. Do you consider yourself like that? Prove it! ⬇️
