Members may know of this app or may not. It may be useless or not, but from the little I have explored it seems it could be a handy little back-up.
It is called "Mil Rangefinder", by Technician Fry. It is free.
It provides a small selection of reticles which it then superimposes on the view from the smart-phone camera.
I have not yet played around with it (my work would not have been impressed), but it looks like, once calibrated you can put an object you are looking at in the "reticle" and it then gives you a range reading.
Perhaps some might like it. If accurate it could be used as a rudimentary rangefinder when shooting or as a compliment to learning to guess-timate distance by eye.
