The ancient greek "dioptra" was a classical astronomical and surveying instrument, dating from the 3rd century BCE. The dioptra was a sighting tube or, alternatively, a rod with a sight at both ends, attached to a stand. If fitted with protractors, it could be used to measure angles.

Ratings and reviews

Nice features but it says it's saving the picture, but I cannot find the saved pictures anywhere. I have uninstalled/reinstalled and checked permissions, everything.... There are no Dioptra photo galleries, and nothing in any other album/folder. I guess taking a screenshot of the frame works... For now.

This works very well, except one thing could be fixed, please. The readings need an adjustable damping factor to slow down the display so that it is somewhat readable. This is important. As it is, it becomes exhausting to try to take imperical data. Even with taking pictures, it is tedious.

I know it's borderline extortion but I'll give 5 stars when they come out with the Pro version. Perhaps different color options for the reticle as the white coloring tends to get lost in the background of a bright day in the field. Otherwise, please continue to upgrade & support this product. It's perfect for my work usage and I haven't found a similar solution. Keep up the great work!
