Sonar Utility app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: Mark Carlotto
First release : 26 Feb 2012
App size: 1.06 Mb
Sonar Utility uses sound to measure distance. But it is so much more than a ruler. It is the first iPhone app for generating 360° sonic images that show surfaces like walls, obstructions, openings (e.g., doorways), and other features. Use it to "see" in the dark. Sonar Utility is also a thermometer that estimates the ambient temperature using the physics of sound.
Note: For best results this app should be used in quiet environments. Works best with older iPhones (e.g., iPhone 4s).

Latest reviews of Sonar Utility app for iPhone and iPad
App starts up and I can hear some clicks and it quits immediately. Would be great if you could fix it. The first time the app started iOS7 asked me if I want to grant rights for accessing the microphone. Of course i did that.
Should be considered for entertainment purposes only. Will not actually work, even after patiently following all instructions in a perfect environment.
In preliminary experiments, its giving accurate measurements. But the clicking gets kind of annoying...
This app is a waste. I want a refund. Tried irig with speaker and still no success......
Hockey-Cow!!! This app almost make me crap in my pants. Dont try at night especially when alone. You might find a some sort of freaking creature watching you. It does work like it say, use sonar and temperature sensing to scan around just like radar. Its really nice app, it show in dark whats hidden if its alive or not and shape. I know many people are not believe in superstitious story but when I scan my room around I did found something float warm in air about 5 feet in diameter and 3 feet away. And I was alone in the room. Any suggestions? This is freak me out.
