What RoomScan Pro does is to help you create floor plans of every room of the house, and then combine them into a handy home plan. And RoomScan has a very smart way of figuring out a room’s plan. What you need to do is simply install the app on the iPhone, and then hold it against the walls of your home until you hear a beep. With every beep, you'll have to move the phone until the app is ready to smartly draw the plan of the room.

The floor plan appears in a few seconds, giving you approximate wall lengths and floor area. Measurements are estimated to the nearest 10cm or half a foot, but you can further improve that with the help of a laser measure. RoomScan then lets you even add doors, by simply touching the door frames as you walk around the room.
