Read full description

Angle Meter measures and records the actual angle of any surface — not just whether it's level. ■ Use it when • Hanging a shelf and checking the tilt • Leveling a picture frame • Checking a staircase or ramp slope • Any DIY project that needs a precise angle ■ What it does • Real-time angle display using your device's gyroscope/accelerometer • Set a baseline to zero out any surface, even an uneven floor or wall • AR mode overlays the angle line directly on the camera view • Save angle + timestamp records to review later ■ Free and Pro Free: live angle reading, baseline, and up to 3 saved records. Pro (one-time purchase, no subscription): AR mode, unlimited records, and no ads. Note: readings are estimates only and are not a substitute for precision instruments.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Angle Meter at Free against Thingview's $1.99. Angle Meter also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
