In plain words

TakeMeasure is an Android app that converts a smartphone into a measuring tool. Launched in 2016, it allows users to measure distances and objects using their phone's camera and sensors. The app is designed for anyone needing quick measurements without carrying a physical ruler or tape measure. It's particularly useful for home projects, shopping, or everyday situations where a measurement tool is needed but not readily available.
