Scolio displays your device’s tilt angle using its built-in motion sensors. Use it for everyday, non-medical angle measurements. • View continuous angle readings. • Set a zero reference and reset it when needed. • Capture a reading with a tap or a volume button. • Review captured readings during the current measurement session. Hold your device sideways with the screen upright. Readings depend on the device, its positioning, and movement. Display resolution does not establish measurement accuracy. Scolio is not intended to screen for, diagnose, monitor, or treat scoliosis or any other medical condition. Do not use its readings to make healthcare decisions.
