I keep finding uses for this outstanding app
This is a beautiful, accurate and surprisingly useful application. I use it for all sorts of things from simple level checks to angle measurements in my workshop. My favorite use is obtaining altitude readings for my telescopes. Last week I helped a DirecTV installer who came by to check our site (and who forgot his own clinometer) to locate the position of one of their southern satellites. I'm now a geek legend to my kids!

Constant tweaking!
A really neat app, but frequent updates and tweaks seem unecessary for what amounts to a fairly simple application. I'm afraid it's going to get bloated to death. The new background is completely unnecessary - what was wrong with black or white? I feel like this is one of those apps that in the next few releases we'll start to see sound effects and a function for checking the weather. Please, keep it simple and accurate that is all.

Great app!
If you want to read, go ahead, but for those of you who don't: It's worth it, it works, so go download it!
I downloaded this app a few weeks ago, thinking I might possibly use it someday. My bf and I are remodeling a house. Currently, we're tiling the bathroom shower with ceramic tile. The ceiling has a few weird angles and slopes, so the further up we get, the more we're having to cut the tile at these odd angles. The slope we worked on today was at the top and we were having trouble getting the right measurements. That's where this app came in... I whipped out my iPhone, held it up against the ceiling to get the slope, held the phone up to the tile to get the same slope, and actually used my phone to draw the line (although I don't recommend the latter :-). My bf cut it and it fit perfectly!! I never really thought I'd use my phone for something like that, but now that we know it works, we're coming up with all sorts of uses for it. Big thanks to the creator!

Great app
Like all the others said, great app. One suggestion though, and forgive me if it's already been mentioned in the hundred or so other reviews.
It is useful to be able to determine the angle from your eye to some distant object by sighting along the edge or the face of the iPhone. Two new features would greatly simplify that. First, make the Lock button on the screen bigger. Second, have the app beep or make some kind of sound so you know if you've actually pressed the button. These would allow you to take sightings without looking at the screen.

Works very well
I like it very much. Looks and works great.
after much reading and comparison shopping...this is it!
i was going back and forth deciding which application to purchase between Clinometer and Tilt meter,
they both seem to do the same things, Clinometer seems to have more reviews and to me
the graphics looked pretty good, and i loved the way how Clinometer is so easy to calibrate.
I'm an architect, and i think this should be a pretty cool/ fun tool to have. =)

Great tool!
This has got to be one of the best levelling/measuring applications out there. I work at an automaker (surviving) and have used this tool for presentation material due to it's accuracy and display. Also, building decks as a side job I find this app most useful for building stair runs and small levelling work. Can't do without it since I got it!

Top level app with low price...
Great application! User interface is great. Love the fact that its a bubble level as well as a clinometer. I use it to track the path of the sun during location filming. When there isn't a "proper" clinometer around, this will sub in quite nicely. In addition, the developer seems to care about his work as there have been many updates posted. All this for only a buck.

I use it every day - incredibly useful for so many things!
Have this on a 1st gen and 3G and both are very accurate (two good phones). The 1st gen was a little off so I calibrated it at work in the lab and retested several days later by putting it on my telescope. Was dead on! A RED light skin would be great for night vision around telescopes. Can't wait for the bubble level feature.
Can we get a green laser line out of it too?;)
Great job!

Update: The features of the latest version are great! Thank you for listening to everyone's suggestions. This app has turned given new life a low tech DOB telescope.

Absolute Precision
Built with Absolute Precision! Love it. And they keep making it better (hopefully always keeping it clean, simple and precise). Go buy it, cool tool for the belt.
