Hang the picture straight. Get the shelf level. See which corner needs a lift. Turn your iPhone or iPad into a handy bubble level and angle finder for the small adjustments that finish a job well. Measure face down, read when you lift Start a short countdown and place your phone screen-down on the surface. The result stays locked when you pick it up, keeping the rear camera bump out of the way while you measure. A phone-back guide shows which side or corner to raise. See the tilt as you work Use the circular bubble to check a surface in two directions, or the classic horizontal vial to line up an edge. Clear angle readings help you follow each adjustment, from a picture frame to a shelf or table. Keep the reading you need Hold a live measurement to inspect it away from the surface. Set a reference with calibration to compare relative angles, and choose sound or vibration cues for leveling. At home, in the workshop or setting up a tripod, keep a quick leveling tool close at hand. Choose from 28 languages and get on with the job.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite at none against Bubble Level's shown. Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). Bubble Level's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bubble Level sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bubble Level holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite has 1.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bubble Level's.
Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite ships an update weekly, Bubble Level every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
