CrowdSize

Are you tired of waiting for others to estimate the number of people that attended your event?
And how do they come up with those numbers?

CrowdSize is an application that lets you produce your own crowd estimates. By knowing the
general perimeter of the crowd and its approximate density, this application will give you an
estimated number of persons within the area you define. Decide for yourself how well an event
was attended.

CrowdSize uses Apple Maps to produce an aerial view of any location in the world and
operates in portrait mode. First type in the location of your event, or use the voice recognition
feature on your keypad, and zoom into it’s exact location. Next tap the perimeter outline of the
area you want to study, then use the slider to select a light, medium or dense factor for the
number of people you see. Press Done and that’s it. The approximate number of people within
your perimeter is presented. You can clear the calculation and the perimeter you just drew by
shaking the device if you want to produce a new calculation.

CrowdSize can do more than estimate crowds. It can also use it’s aerial images for estimating
areas in square feet or square meters. Prepare area estimates for bodies of water, parks or real
estate and multiply your area calculation by your own density factor to estimate numbers of
parking spaces or sod for the coverage of a homeowner’s yard. CrowdSize can also estimate
the area of roof tops, paving and landscaping for construction contractors and property
managers, and the calculations can be for any location in the world.
