A Way to Go
While the application shows the Clinometer when first launched, on my 3G iPhone it immediately flicks over to the Bubble view and stays there. I have been unable to get the Clinometer to return despite many various calibration attempts. Would love to get the app to work properly as it may have potential as a useful tool.

The best so far...
It is one of the most accurate and well polished application of this type so far. I use it for jobs around the house and in the 4WD when I'm out in the bush.
Cheers for the lock button!
As I wrote for the original version: Works very well and is intuitive to use. The accuracy I get on my iPhone is ±1 degree.
Version 2.1 adds a very welcome "Lock" button to lock the dial for readout after taking a sighting.
Minor quibble: The lock button label is the reverse to the way one would expect - the button is red/locked while the display is free, and green/unlocked while the display is locked. I understand the rationale to indicate the *action* of the button press, but since a lock button serves as *state indicator* in many GUI apps, it would be better to reverse the labels, so that the label indicates *state* rather than *action*.

Usible, accurate and attractive. It just works!
This app is easy to use and once calibrated (very easy to do) is very accurate. The layout is logical and UI is attractively styled. Easily the best Clinometer and/or leveling app out there. Way to go!
Feature request:
- Red colored skin to preserve night vision
- Lock feature so you can place the phone in a tough to see place to take a measurment, press a button to lock it, and then bring it back to where you can read it to see the reading.

Best iPhone app I've downloaded yet...
No bugs, crashes or lags - does what it says it will with accuracy. Love the update with the bubble level (probably most useful on 1G or Touch, though since they have flat backs). Gorgeous, clean visuals. A perfect demonstration app and very useful tool for MANY people. Wouldn't it be nice if they were all like Clinometer? Fewer tip calculators and girlfriend dialers, more Clinometer type apps please...

Best Yet!!
Absolutely incredible! I was sold on this just after reading the reviews alone! Let me tell you, I am not a contractor but after I bought this I found it very useful for leveling things around the house like the washer, dryer, fridge and whatever else that may need to be eventually leveled. I love the toggle feature between the black/white. Oh, and also the bubble that comes into effect when you lay your iPhone flat, HOW COOL IS THAT!!! Just like a real level!! WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!!!!

Crashes on start up
Why are so many apps crashing? The previous version of Clinometer was brilliant. I just downloaded this new version for my ipod touch and guess what... it's crashing on start up.
Excellent
A superb application, well executed. The error bars that have disappeared in this latest version were useful (even though the app doesn't need to display them any more) - please can they come back? (thanks)
Fantastic application that does what it says it will do.
This application is just what I needed as I use a clinometer to work out hight from a given point as part of my job. It means one less bit of equipment to carry around and it is very accurate and easy to calibrate. If you need to work out an angle I would have no hesitation in feting this application.
