Estim8: Guess the value is a daily estimation game for iPhone. Three guesses a day: how many dots, what angle, how full. Pull the tape to answer, then see exactly how far off you were.

Questions
When is there a new set?
At midnight, local time. Everyone on the same calendar date gets the same three rounds.
What if I leave in the middle of a set?
Your locked-in rounds are kept and you continue where you stopped. The dots are shown only once: if you leave during or after the three seconds, you answer from memory when you come back.
What if I don't finish before midnight?
An unfinished set is discarded at midnight and the day counts as missed.
How is the score worked out?
Each round scores out of 100 by how close you were. You score 0 when you're half the true count off on dots, 45° off on the angle, or 30 points off on the fill. 97 or more is bang on. Your daily score is the average of the three rounds.
How do streaks work?
Your streak counts the days in a row on which you finished the set. It stays alive until the end of the day after your last finished set.
What is Calibration?
After five days of play, Calibration looks at your last 30 days and tells you how your eye leans, for example "You undercount by 7% on average." Each day is a dot on a strip, with a line at your average.
How do I turn the daily reminder on or off?
Open Settings (the gear on Today) and use Daily reminder. The reminder comes once a day at the time you choose, and only on days you haven't played. If it's on but nothing arrives, check that notifications for Estim8 are allowed in the iPhone Settings app.
How do I add a widget?
Touch and hold the home screen or lock screen, tap Edit or Customize, then add Estim8. There are small and medium home screen widgets and two lock screen widgets.
Can I turn off vibrations?
Yes: Settings, then Haptics.
Can I play with VoiceOver or larger text?
Yes. The tape works as an adjustable control with VoiceOver (swipe up or down to change the value), and the minus and plus buttons step it by one. Text follows your Dynamic Type size.
How do I start over?
Your history is stored only on your iPhone. Deleting the app deletes it.
