Tree Height Meter & Clinometer

On the first launch after installing, Tree Height Meter now prepares the opening-screen ad from settings that come with the app instead of waiting for them to download, so the Height tab opens with less waiting. Measuring on the Height, Distance and Area tabs is unchanged, with small reliability improvements. Your saved heights, unit choice and horizon zero are untouched.

“CAPTURE TOP” and “CAPTURE BASE” (the second one only in “Two-point” mode) have moved out of the scrolling page on “Height” into a strip pinned at the bottom of the screen. After your first capture, a line below them shows either “Enter the horizontal distance to the tree.” (tap it to jump to the “Distance” field at the top) or “Estimated height” with the value from the result card, a dash when no

A reversed sighting (top captured lower than the base) no longer gives a zero or negative height: the app explains it and offers “Swap top and base”. With no distance entered in Two-point mode, “Use base angle for distance” estimates it from your eye height and the base angle (rough, assumes level ground). A hint also appears when the phone is held nearly flat.
