RIDGID Level features three vials for plumb, level and 45° miter. The display shows the exact measurements currently being reported by the sensors and it supports overlaying leveling information on top of the camera. The application also allows you to calibrate both the vertical and horizontal vials for phones with buttons on the side or cameras on the rear which can interfere with your readings.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bubble Level Tool holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Level Tool has 2.5K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of RIDGID Level's written reviews are positive against 6% of Bubble Level Tool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RIDGID Level ships an update every 13 months, Bubble Level Tool weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 18, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
