  • NEW: option to lock the angle when you tap the screen.
  • Faster update.
  • Less jitter, especially when beeping or buzzing.

  1. Great app, but would be so much better if it displayed 10th.
    As in, 1.2*, 1.3*, 1.4*, instead of just 1* and 2*.

    Thanks! :)

  2. Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

    A lot of people have asked for decimal values, but unfortunately the accelerometer on the G1 only appears to be accurate to one degree.

  6. Love the app! Would love to be able to switch between slope and %grade (i.e. 1 foot rise or fall in a 100 foot run is a 1% grade).

  7. Suggestion for way of leveling bubble, instead if trying to find a level spot, level device one direction, turn 180 degrees and level again. The difference would be true level, new version?

  8. Thanks for the suggestion, I've been thinking about doing exactly that.

    1. Love this ap! But % of 45 degrees reads 50%. Shouldn't it be 100% = 100tan(45)? Help!

    2. It's currently showing percentage of 90°, but I realize now that most people expect it to show grade (slope x 100). I'll have to make that change.

      Thanks, glad you like the app.

  9. Great app thanks but can I change it to metric? :-)

    ReplyDelete
  10. I too would like to see metric options, as well as the ability to show slopes as 1 in 100, 1 in 33 etc...and ideally the ability to show the %age as well, please? Great app, by the way

  11. VERY ACCURATE ! I was really surprised how spot on it is. Read exactly as the real level that I laid the phone on top of. Brilliant!

  12. Nice app, but the values displayed for percent slope are wrong! A 45 degree angle is a 100% slope. App shows it as 50% on my HTC Incredible 2.

  15. We are on the finishing touches of building our home. The app works great! My level is safely packed away somewhere and this has been helpful. Can, or is there a way to use it for checking plumb ?
