In this the limited but therefore free version of Clinometer. It as all features but can not be calibrated. This professional tool called Clinometer is the most precise (all you can get with some calculations) slope measurement tool for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. It can be used for simple applications like aligning a frame as well as for more sophisticated fields of applications where an arbitrary slope needs to be measured exactly. Read the reviews (and write your own) for all the applications you find! Thank for all your positive feedback! Please use our support link if you have questions and suggestions, we don't read the iTunes reviews every day. With this tool, the slope can be measured by all edges of the device in every direction. When the device is put flat on the table a bubble view will fade in. The current features include: ◆ Five different unit modes: The device can display the slope in degrees (rounded or in tenth of degrees), percentage, rise over run (common for roof slope measurement in :12) and 1V:H (common in engineering) ◆ Dial Rotation: You can smoothly rotate the background dial and thus define which side of the device represents 0° and 90° degrees. ◆ Motion-sensitive Lock feature: Besides the common instant simple tap hold mechanism you can activate the motion-sensitive lock. If activated the device waits for the final lock until you hold your device steady enough for at least 2 seconds. You can set the lock sensitivity between 0.1° and 1.0° degrees. ◆ Volume Button Lock: Use volume buttons to trigger the lock. ◆ Peer Mode: Use two devices to measure angles: One as a display, the other as the measurement device that can be attached to the hardware you want to align. ◆ Fullscreen Mode: The full screen mode can be toggled by tapping the center of the screen and by the upper and lower arrows in the center. This prevents you from erroneous inputs while measuring. ◆ Different color schemes: Press the S/C Button to instantly switch the color. The color can be selected differently for the bubble and the clinometer mode. The predefined color sets include day and night color schemes (Black on White, White on Black and Red). ◆ Adjustable Auto-Lock: You can prevent the device from turning into the sleep mode. Only the full version has a two way calibration feature! Please support us and buy the full version if you can. According to wikipedia: An inclinometer or clinometer is an instrument for measuring angles of slope (or tilt), elevation or inclination of an object with respect to gravity. It is also known as a tilt meter, tilt indicator, slope alert, slope gauge, gradient meter, gradiometer, level gauge, level meter, declinometer, and pitch & roll indicator. For recreational use only. After the calibration it CAN (!) be very accurate especially for the main axis after calibration. The measurement is performed as well as possible (we try our best) by using the three inbuilt accelerometers. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! We will improve the application long-term. This was the first application of this kind shortly after the opening of the App Store. Since then it is continuously updated and enriched with new features. ► Check out all our products (free and paid) on www.plaincode.com

Laser level (leveling instrument) is an excellent measurement app equipped with: laser pointer, regular 3-mode spirit level / bubble level (libella) and clinometer (inclinometer) for measuring vertical angles and determining the exact horizontal plane. It's perfect, handy and precise bubble level tool for every handyman. Main modes of this laser level: - innovative laser leveling / laser pointer - using built-in sensors (gyroscope and accelerometer), camera and extended / augmented reality, helps you to determine the vertical and horizontal levels around you, - regular spirit level (bubble level, libella) - works like a traditional bubble level tool, place your smartphone or tablet, on the surface or on the object to be measured or set at any angle, - clinometer, also called an inclinometer, is primarily used to measure vertical angles and to determine the angle of inclination of any object from the vertical determined by the gravitational force. These modes are equipped in precision digital and analog indicators. Data are presented in degrees and percentages and any different units which you choose. Additional features, you can: - calibrate level of your device, - adjust the precision of measurement, - read data in different units, - lock the orientation, - take pictures while measuring and you can send measurement results to anyone, - this app does not require internet access. Sample applications: - you can measure the angle or inclination of any objects (including distant), such as roof, buildings, columns, mountains, trees, etc. - you can set any angle of inclination of the surface and the level of home installed appliances, devices, such as: install a refrigerator, washing machine or hang a shelf, painting etc. - suitable for repair and construction work, you can use it as a digital measuring tape or laser measuring tape, - useful for interior design, exterior works, in house and in garden, - many others. You can use this leveling application wherever you are. This level app is accurate, intuitive, easy to use and very functional. We wish you successful and accurate measurements.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pocket Laser Level holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket Laser Level has 264 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Bubble level and Clinometer's written reviews are positive against 58% of Pocket Laser Level's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bubble level and Clinometer ships an update every 7 months, Pocket Laser Level every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
