SketchAndCalc™ is the only area calculator capable of calculating areas of uploaded images. The area calculator has a unique feature that allows you to set the drawing scale of any image before drawing the perimeter of the shape. Irregular areas containing angles or curves are therefore easily calculated without complex geometry math.

• Search map for an address or longitude and latitude coordinates

• Upload any .png .jpg .gif or .pdf image and set drawing scale

• Draw perimeter. Adjust vertices manually or input precise line lengths

• Multiple Drawing layers with Area sum function

• Trial or Login with your account *

* SketchAndCalc is a companion app for account holders

Simply put, if you have an image you can upload, or a maps address to search, you can calculate the irregular area of the shape regardless of how complex it is just by drawing around the perimeter of the area. The calculator can even sum multiple area calculations together by way of drawing layers. After the first area has been calculated, a new drawing layer can be added, allowing for an unlimited number of area calculations to be performed.

Results of the area calculator are displayed in imperial and metric systems, increasing the calculators utility and removing the need to convert between different square area measurements. This, alongside the calculators precise drawing tools and magnification, ensures that irregular area’s of every size are calculated accurately.

The area calculator can also accommodate regular polygon shapes with fixed angles and precise line lengths. The constrained drawing tool snaps to common angles, and line lengths can be manually edited using the keyboard, helpful if your irregular area has a straight side or length. And no irregular area calculator would be complete without a curve drawing tool for odd shapes, another unique feature of SketchAndCalc™.

Whilst some area calculator apps allow map searching of address, SketchAndCalc™ takes it a step further to support searching of longitude and latitude coordinates. So whether your area is on agricultural land or sea, you’ll spend less time searching and more time calculating your irregular area.

SketchAndCalc™ has universal utility across many industries, gardeners, building contractors, surveyors or home improvement enthusiasts looking for a floorplan calculator, landscaping calculator, or land area calculator will find their needs met. However, aside from these common uses, many users in the education, medical, science and research fields need a way to find the area of irregular shapes such as cell membranes, or other odd shapes found in biology.

Users of the legacy SketchAndCalc app (a paid version which has now been replaced) will benefit from a trial extension of 3 months. After which time legacy users will be prompted to subscribe.

Pros and cons of SketchAndCalc Area Calculator app for iPhone and iPad

SketchAndCalc Area Calculator app good for

Like it, would like it more if I could adjust the angles as well as the length of a line though keeps getting better with every update
App works well for calculating irregular areas. I will be using it for calculating outdoor construction materials. Having the ability to eliminate the useless x-y access points from the export photo and having actual lengths and units displayed would make this 5 star and usable daily. Your close!
I really like this app to measure roofs, Id also like if i could have the measurement display option (displaying the measurement on each line). And what about trying multiple shapes for instance a full roof on a home?

Some bad moments

Dropbox integration works but it is difficult to trace an area on an IPhone screen. The PC online version is easier to use and it is Free ...
Will not load any documents either by drop box or PDF file or pictures. If you link drop box it ends there, will not show any screen to import, no buttons or icons to move beyond this point. A 2 year old must have designed this and there adult father sold it to use suckers at $4.99
Not worth the money, too simple. Wish I could get a refund. Dont buy. Id give it 0 stars if I could.
You cant actually draw anything but a single line then it just drags. Waste of $4.99
This app works just as badly as the freaking website. Total lack of control, confusing interface and it screws up all the time. Downloaded cause I couldnt get the website to work AGAIN!!! Dont waste your money. Grab a $1 ruler and do it yourself.
It should allow you to draw any shape and then input your own dimensions for each line using a keypad (not draggers).
