### 5/5 — Perfect

*2020-07-03, version 2.5*

Used to measure angles for base boards. Worked perfectly for me.  Saved myself from buying an angle finder.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2020-02-29, version 2.5*

Don’t know what the other person is taking about. Works perfect for me

### 5/5 — Only app for wall angles, toe in, rudder angle

*2016-04-05, version 2.4*

The only app I have found that measures azimuth angles. Thank you for using the three axis gyro! Great app.

### 2/5 — Iffy

*2015-07-12, version 2.4*

Not completely terrible, but it has it's problems. I need to angle many things all. So while prepping the other items to angle, I'll set the phone down with the app open and it'll get confused on which way is up. Therefore, forcing me to close out the app and reopen it.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-07-05, version 2.4*

Does not work at all! Just spins around in circles giving you all kinds of whacked readings.

### 1/5 — Angle Finder

*2015-04-29, version 2.4*

Doesn't work for me & has no directions- I gave it 1 star because it didn't cost anything so now I will delete it in the cyber waste can.

### 1/5 — No thanks

*2014-11-24, version 2.4*

So terrible. Nonono

### 1/5 — Unreliable. Inaccurate.

*2013-12-14, version 2.2*

Not worth the time.

### 1/5 — Not accurate at all

*2013-11-01, version 2.2*

Not accurate and it gets stock when swirling the iPhone.

### 2/5 — Has potential, need fine tuning

*2013-02-18, version 2.2*

When trying to utilize on my iPhone 4S, I found it difficult to use due to the rapidly changing readings. If the reading were slowed down and dampened by averaging several reading before updating the display it might be salvaged. I could not determine it accuracy because of the unsteady readings.
