Tried this app out a few days ago. The measurements in it are surprisingly good. I was finding it about ~10% out at most.

All in all, it is a very good (FREE!) app that can be used to get a decent idea of what might be needed in home renovation.

I had the opposite experience. It seemed really finicky about how smoothlyI had to move my tablet from one wall to the next .

Yeah, I couldn't really get it to work either. The preview seemed to be more or less accurate, but it wasn't able to generate the layout. I was trying to double tap to modify the dimensions manually, but it looks like the free version doesn't allow for it. I guess it's a hit or miss.
