PIC Gauge
Using state-of-the-art digital imaging technology in concert with industry-standard specifications for serpentine belts, PIC Gauge determines the degree of rib wear detected on a belt. Material loss is analyzed and returns one of three belt results:
- Within Specification (green),
- Wear Detected (yellow), or
- Replace Belt (red).
Belt wear measurements can be captured from any automotive K-section serpentine belt.
PIC Gauge utilizes a photograph taken with the Smartphone’s built-in camera, and is analyzed by patent-pending software. The App is simple to use, and the results are immediate. The PIC Belt Wear Gauge is the first digital tool available designed to be used by professional technicians, service writers, and do-it-your-self-ers.

I've spent lots of time trying to get the best picture possible and it still wont recognise the belt in the app. Its a good thought but ill stick to the orange plastic belt gages that gates has. A lot less frustrating.
Tried numerous times, with multiple belts in New and used conditions. Several different colors and 2 different cameras (bluetooth picture transfer) never got a correct reading. Great idea, but that's it.
This app is so poor you take several pics. And doesn't work and if you adjust it just right still nothing comes up. good thought.
I had to edit and crop my photos so they would load correctly.
Spent 30 minutes trying to take picture of belt. Developer(s) should be ashamed of this
Totally useless. You owe me 5 minutes of my life back.
Ihave tried to use mutilated times. Even Removed the belt and it still wouldn't work...
tried using several times just keeps freezing up my Samsung galaxy. I love the idea behind this app now if only it would work
Would have been great but won't show the photo of the belt in the app! Tried several different ways.
Wont work unless you remove the belt and have perfect light.
Tried numerous times and says can't find belt or whatever it says..weak sauce
Works only if the belt is off the car. Which makes it worthless
Dong download doesn't work even with 2 different cameras
I work in a fast-paced lube shop and this would be a great tool...if it worked! Took several pictures of my own belt, rotated and cropped numerous times and still it says to adjust or retake. F@#& that! Ha...try again!
Could not get it to find the belt in the image.
Useless, don't bother
The idea behind it is really neat but you need to remove the belt to take several pictures (which I never did get it to "diagnose" for me). At that point I might as well have replaced it. :(
Has to use another camera app to take the pic, if you don't take a pic exactly right, won't see belt. Not sure how it works bc it was impossible to use. Uninstalled. Samsung GS3
You people that send bad reviews are idiots. This works just fine.
Time waster. Can't get a reading on belt even with hd camera.
Could not get it to evaluate any belt I tried...
This app is terrible can not get to work
Doesn't work... 13mp camera. "Can't find belt ribs." Also, photo is always wrong orientation, had to change in another app.
Good idea, unfortunately, it doesn't work!
The app will not load the picture into the belt analysis screen. Interesting concept but will not work on my Note 4.
