I was a residential contractor until a few years ago. This would be great for estimating. Nice way to replace a pad of paper with less than stellar drawings on it. When estimating I'd still take pictures of the rooms to help me recall what it looked like.
For most projects a measurement to within half a foot is fine for estimating. If the total width of a room is close to 12 or 15' (standard carpet roll widths), get an exact number to know if your carpet sub needs to seam two pieces of carpet together.
Door heights are standard on most houses. Electrical heights are usually standard. Windows are usually dropped the height of a header.
For estimating many projects (painting, flooring, non-custom trim jobs), this app would be more than adequate.
When you get the job and go back to do the work, I'd suggest a Bosch LASER tape measure. Accurate to within 1/16" or better. It's great for trim work.
Yes, I have a Bosch. From the looks of it, this app isn't faster, nor does it add any other significant advantage. You still need to measure the location of windows and doors, width etc. And you need to manually add that to the plan. Or, what I usually do (although I'm a developer, not a contractor), is write down areas directly. I'm still not convinced, and if they're targeting the professional market, I am part of their target group. YMMV etc., obviously, and if they manage to build a business out if it, more power to them.
