Quit good though challenging

Needed to measure a tree to see if we can fell it so it doesn't fall on our house in this next hurricane. My brother guessed 75 feet, the app said 74.1. That was more than enough confirmation for me, was easy to use, and the app developer seems responsive and able to take criticism and suggestions, at least from these reviews. Would use again.
