Works very well indoors. Outdoors in full sunlight can be a challenge I now understand why tripods and large targets are used with lasers. It did everything expected it just gets hard in full sunlight to see if you are on target and measuring to the right point I would say anything over 15' gets tough and being older that small dot gets awfully small.

I am not going to go into a lot of depth on this product. Honestly, I have tried or used most features on this and this is a very convenient device. The controls are pretty intuitive as well. I bought this in early December. I got the Bluetooth version because I was very excited by the convenient apps that go along with it. I tried to find the ones that I had seen to download. I could not find them. After more searching, it seems that the old apps had gone away and they came out with new ones. Maybe some functionality of the multiple apps was merged, I think. So, I tried to find this new app. I also could not find it. I contact one the email addresses for developers from the play store and also sent an email to Bosch customer service. The developers were all off for some reason. I guess some kind of European shut-down or sorts. Customer servers got back to me and said that they app is not in the app store because it has issues. About a week later, I got the same response from the Bosch app developer email. I have wait a while to post this review, but this app is still not available. That is just strange to me.

      A really great tool to have. I record multiple measurements at once then go to my saw and make multiple cuts, saving on the back and forth and the up and down.

      Great size and very accurate. I was skeptical about this type of device but the Bosch name swayed me to buy it. I do not regret the decision at all.
