Set your pinball machine to the exact pitch it was designed for. PinLevel reads front-to-back pitch and side-to-side level to 0.1Β°, then tells you which leg to turn and by how much - in millimetres and bolt turns, not guesswork. A generic bubble level tells you "not level". PinLevel tells you "raise the back left leg one and a half turns". LEVEL IT PROPERLY β€’ Live readout of pitch and side-to-side to 0.1Β°, colour-coded green when you're inside tolerance and yellow when you're close. β€’ Presets for the angles the games were built around - Easy 5Β°, Standard 6.5Β°, Fast 7Β° - or a custom target from 3Β° to 8Β°. β€’ Per-leg guidance on a top-down diagram of the machine: raise, lower or hold, with an estimated amount in mm and turns for your leg thread pitch. β€’ It walks the real-world method: side-to-side first, then pitch on the rear legs, then re-check - because each one moves the other. HANDS-FREE β€’ A tuner-style tone rises toward a bright, steady note as you approach level, so you can keep your eyes and both hands on the leg bolt. β€’ Spoken cues call out which side to raise, and a haptic confirms each axis as it locks in. β€’ Focus mode: a big, high-contrast readout you can read at arm's length, that goes solid green when the machine is ready to play. ON YOUR APPLE WATCH β€’ The full live readout on your wrist, including the per-leg tiles - check the machine without crouching down to the phone. β€’ Switch machines with the Digital Crown and change your target angle from the watch. CHECK IT WITHOUT LIFTING THE GLASS β€’ Save a glass reference per machine while the playfield is level. From then on, a quick reading on the glass answers "has it drifted?" in seconds - no tools, no lifting. YOUR COLLECTION β€’ Save a named setup per game with its own target and dimensions, and switch between them instantly. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. No network connection - it never asks for one. One-time purchase, no subscription.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: AEMC Access at Free against PinLevel's $4.99. AEMC Access also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). PinLevel's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 13 months) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
