About FarShot — Distance Estimator
FarShot turns your Android phone into a distance estimator — no laser, no extra hardware, no account required.
Point at the base of any target, wait for the green steadiness indicator, and tap. FarShot uses your phone's accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, barometer, and GPS to calculate distance using trigonometry. Typical accuracy of ±2–5% for targets between 5 m and 200 m with a calibrated camera height.
