About this app

Developer Description

Retina calculator easily calculates retina distance and PPI of any display

Wonder at what distance your device is retina? Just run this app!
If the retina distance is less than the typical viewing distance then your display is retina.
You can calculate retina distance and PPI for any device.

Notes:
- Retina is the distance at which the pixels are so small that they are no longer individually visible.
- All displays are retina given enough distance. Therefore what really matters is actual viewing distance.
- The calculation uses a value of 60 pixels per degree (PPD) for defining retina.
Sometimes a lower PPD is used for retina calculation as low as 57.5 PPD.
- Most people will perceive displays as retina at a smaller distance than the one calculated by the app because the 60 PPD definition assumes perfect vision.

Love this App! It works great on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8. (U.S. variant with the Snapdragon 835) I like how as soon as you open the app, it automatically detects your phone's screen resolution, size and pixel density. And then you can manually customize the settings to find out the PPI of any display on any devise. And most importantly it tells you at what distance the screen becomes Retina.

Good basic app that provides the info I was looking for. Would be a lot quicker to use if there was also a drop down for common resolutions like 1080P and 4K. Still good to have manual entry for odd sizes also. Thanks!
