Le Point: Petanque Measure

Who's holding? Hold your phone flat above the jack: the photo takes itself and Le Point ranks the boules by their distance to the jack, without getting the tape measure out.

HOW IT WORKS
• Center the sight on the jack and hold the phone flat. The built-in bubble level detects when it is flat and takes the photo on its own.
• The boules are detected automatically on the photo.
• Adjust if needed: drag a boule to move it, tap it to remove it, tap an empty spot to add one.
• Read the ranking right away, with approximate distances and the lead of the first boule over the second.

WHAT YOU GET
• A clear verdict: which boule is holding
• Approximate distances in centimeters when the scale can be read from the photo, otherwise the lead as a ratio
• An honest warning when the first two boules are too close to call
• A result card to share with your teammates
• A history of your measured ends
• The photo is analyzed on your device, never sent anywhere, no account needed
• Measuring works without an internet connection
• Available in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese

Le Point is a fun way to settle a close end. It is not an official measuring instrument: when it comes down to millimeters, use a tape measure.
