Answer 1

You could use the size of the head as a reference. I know that when drawing a body usually the head is used as a reference and if you want to draw a short person the height is usually 6 "heads" and for a tall person it could be up to 9 "heads".

In real life the head size can vary but they can usually be explained by things like gender, and if the app can take that into account it would reduce the error.

There are a few studies around the size of the head and how it varies (this is only after a quick google search):
