Accuracy:
The measurements obtained with the app are approximate, but fairly accurate in most everyday situations. Accuracy precision for the measured length is quite good. It gives pretty accurate measurements depending on user accuracy and competency. It's probably not 100% accurate, but it's always very close to the real measurement. Accuracy can be achieved within 1cm of range.
