User reviews

App is apparently abandoned

I got SeeLevel a week ago. The inclinometer, for which I bought the app, does not work. The inclination always reads NAN, even after an apparently successful calibration. For you non-computer folks, NAN means not-a-number and indicates that the inclinometer, at least, is seriously broken.

I emailed the app’s author through the link in the Apple App Store explaining the problem but it’s been a week with no reply.

The app has not been updated in 4 years. I have an iPhone 12 running IOS 15.3 so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised the app doesn’t work. My bad for not suspecting this before I bought the app. If you run similar hardware or IOS version buying this app is like throwing your money in the street.

If I get an app update that fixes the problem I’ll revisit this review.

Great for backcountry ski

App is fast, interface is simple. Aim and read the angle, just what you want for skiing.

User guide is useless

Not intuitive and user guide doesn’t help.

Great app

This is a well designed, simple to use app for estimating heights, finding elevation angles and the like. Very good value too.

Excellent app for height estimating

I got this to be able to measure tree height for a new hobby of finding champion trees. The cost of a good clinometer is a bit much for a hobbyist. I bought a tripod adapter for my iPhone, which is a necessity for accurate results. You can not accurate results trying to hand hold. To verify the accuracy, I measured the ground to soffit height of the roof of my house which was exactly 26’9” using a Leica Distometer laser. This app measured it at 26.7’ which is basically equivalent( less than 1” difference) I used an iPhone 6s with a tripod about 30’ away from the house on sloping ground. It is simple to use, but not intuitive, so read the guide.
