13. Camera “Camera Mode” allows users to find roof pitch from the safety of the ground. For this feature to function properly, your device must have a rear-facing camera. To use, you must make sure the white line across the screen matches the slope (pitch) of the roof. From here, you can simply look at the reading, or press SNAP to take a picture of the pitch with the reading stamped on the actual picture (if you chose to purchase this in- app feature).
14. SNAP SNAP (Snap Pitch) is a feature that can be purchased (in-app) for $0.99. This feature can only be utilized in Camera Mode. While measuring roof pitch in Camera Mode, Snap Pitch gives users the ability to press SNAP which will take a picture of the actual pitch with the reading stamped on it.
