Secure Photo Texting
DESCRIPTION
Have you ever accidentally sent a picture to the wrong person by mistake? Are you worried that the picture you're sending will be viewed by someone else besides the person you're sending to? Would you be embarrassed if the picture you sent via MMS automatically popped up on their screen while someone else was using their phone?
SecurePhotoTexting is what you need. It will allow you to cover your picture with a default image using a password so only the recipient will be able to view it.
Here's how it works:
1. Pick an image from your photo library or snap a photo.
2. Lock the image using a password of your choice and tell your friend the password.
3. Copy and paste the locked image into SMS, or directly send the locked image via email to your friend.
4. Your friend can then copy and paste the locked image from SMS or email into Secure Photo Texting, and unlock it using the password you gave them.
5. DONE! Now your friend can view and save the picture if they want.
FAQ
Q: Can I use this on an original iPhone or my iPad?
A: Yes, but you will be limited to only sending pictures over email.
Q: How do I paste a picture into SMS?
A: Double-tap inside of the area where you type a message. Like this:
Q: How do I copy a picture from SMS so I can paste it back into SecurePhotoTexting?
A: Either double-tap or tap-and-hold the image. DO NOT go to the image preview page and copy - this will result in SecurePhotoTexting telling you that your image has been corrupted. Do it like this:
Q: How do I copy a picture from email?
A: Tap-and-hold the image until the menu pops up, and select Copy. Like this:
AngleFinder
DESCRIPTION
AngleFinder will give you the ability to measure angles using your iPhone 4. It displays the roll, pitch, and yaw of the device relative to a previous orientation.
AngleFinder is simple to use. Simply start the app, place the iPhone 4 against the plane you wish to begin, and press the reset button to start. Then as you move the device, the angles will be updated on the screen to show the difference between the start position and the current position.
Use it to see if a corner is square, or lay it flat on a map and rotate it to see the angle difference between two roads.
AngleFinder uses the gyroscope exclusive to the iPhone 4 to measure angles, which provides a great deal of accuracy. Is it perfect? No, but in most cases it is pretty close. If you have any questions, please contact us before purchasing.
TapeMeasure
DESCRIPTION
TapeMeasure gives you the ability to take measurements from a previous position to your current position. It displays the latitude, longitude, altitude, and accuracy of your current position, as well as shows you the current measurement being taken. Measurement information includes the distance, height, and direction (heading) of the current position from the previous position. This information can be displayed in either standard or metric format.
Once you find a position with enough desired accuracy, you can start a measurement, exit the application, and continue the measurement later. This feature is useful for saving power when GPS is enabled. You can pause measurement updates and then either resume measuring from the same start point, or reset your measurement and start again whenever you desire.
FAQ
Q: Why can't I get my location on my iPod touch?
A: The iPod touch only has access to WiFi signals, and not all WiFi signals are mapped, so you won't always get
a position. TapeMeasure uses the same location information that is available in the standard Google Maps app, so
if you can't find your current position there, you won't be able to find it with TapeMeasure either. For more information
about using WiFi to find your location, see Skyhook's website.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect? Can I use this to measure, say, the length of a couch?
A: The software makes use of Apple's standard location services interface, and so you are limited by the
accuracy of your device. If you have the iPhone 4/3GS/3G or iPad 3G, you will have the ability
to get much greater accuracy due to the GPS feature than the cell tower triangulation algorithm alone, which is only what is
found in the original iPhone. iPod touch and iPad (WiFi-only) users can only expect to get their position when connected to an
available WiFi network. Due to varying conditions, location information may be delayed, unattainable, or
inaccurate, so this should never be used as a true positioning device. You probably won't be able to measure anything like a couch with any degree of accuracy, unless you've got
a great (and we mean GREAT) GPS signal, and your couch is 30 feet long.
Q: Can I use this in the mountains where there are no cell towers or WiFi connections?
A: Yes. We tested this scenario by first removing the SIM card (along with WiFi disabled), indoors, and verified that we couldn't get a position, which shows that the phone is no longer using the cell towers without the SIM card.
Then as we walked outside, after a minute or so, positioning information began showing up as the GPS signal was acquired. We weren't able to test in a true "dead spot", but that's the best we could do in our location.
One thing we noted was that airplane mode seems to disable GPS (along with cell/wifi), so no position is found.
We understand why airplane mode would disable transmissions, but we're not not sure why it would disable a receive only function. If you want Apple to change their implementation (like giving a separate GPS enable/disable control), let them know through their support area of their website.
Q: Why does the Altitude/Height only display "N/A"?
A: Only the iPhone can (but not necessarily always) deliver your altitude information. This information
will only be displayed when possible.
Q: Why does the Altitude/Height suck?
A: UPDATE: It no longer sucks. Check out the iPhone 4, it offers a significant improvement in altitude accuracy over previous models.
Q: I wasted 99 cents on this thing. It doesn't do anything except measure distances!
A: That's what it was made to do. It's very limited in scope, and as you can see, it doesn't have any flashy graphics.
Actually, we would love feedback as to what kinds of features you'd like to see in future revisions. We made this application
to measure distances because we thought it was a useful function that the iPhone is currently missing. There are plenty of
apps to tell you where you are, what trendy coffee shop is near you, how to stalk and/or be stalked by your friends, etc. This
will not become another social networking app. This is a utility. If you have suggestions for future enhancements, or any constructive
(or even destructive) criticism, get in touch. Not to state the obvious, but remember that you can't send us an idea, have us implement it, and then try to claim that
we ripped you off. If you send it to us, we have the right to implement it. If you have a really good idea and you want credit for it, we encourage you to use the very generous and comprehensive
resources that Apple has to offer, and try your hand at making your own application!
