Measure anything your iPhone can take a picture of. RulerPhone uses the iPhone’s built-in camera and a credit card-sized item (MetroCard, Drivers License, Gift Card, etc.) to turn the device into a measuring tape. RulerPhone uses named card as a reference to measuring anything in the frame. It’s a great on-the-go tool for apartment-hunters, furniture-buyers, or anyone requiring a quick measurement.

RulerPhone provides tips on how to get the most accuracy measurement.
In three easy steps, you measure any object. First, take a photo using your iPhone or use an existing one you already taken.
Second, position and lock the virtual card.
Finally, drag your finger across the object you want measured.
RulerPhone is the best ruler app for the iPhone. I only wish I had this app a couple of weeks ago when I was HomeDepot. Now, RulerApp will be the tool I use whenever I need to measure anything on the go.
I’ve been waiting for this app since I heard about several weeks ago. As a student/professional, this app is great for reading articles (in pdf or Word format). The mere fact of being able to zoom-in and rotate the documents to landscape mode is golden. This is way better then using email to read attachments. Setup was fairly easy on Windows. All you need to do is setup a Share (http or ftp) in Windows then drag and drop files wirelessly to your iPhone/ipod touch.
In DataCase you can add you own volumes and assign permissions. By default two volumes are created for you: Drop Box and Shared Files.
This is the app in landscape mode which makes it easier to read files.
DataCase is a short on documentation on how to setup a Share in Windows and Mac. Including helpful hints within the app itself will be beneficial in instructing users unfamiliar with adding FTP and shares. I also would like to see an update that allows me to move files between volumes. DataCase is $6.99 in the App store and works with the iPhone and iPod touch.
YouNote is a iPhone / iPod touch application that allows you to take audio, picture, drawn, text, and web notes within one application. Unlike EverNote, YouNote doesn’t sync other devices. Regardless, I’m finding YouNote very handy for doodling my ideas and taking screen shots of websites while on the go. However, I do use EverNote and YouNote interchangeably. YouNote is good for quick note to store on the iPhone only.
I can now take a quick screen shots from the iphone. And the doodle feature is cool too. I only wish they included a color palette and paint bucket.
YouNote is free in the app store. Hopefully, they’ll include a feature to email notes.
