Level Tool turns your iPhone into a spirit level and angle finder. Hold it against an edge or lay it on a surface, and the reading shows the tilt to a tenth of a degree. When it is level, the background behind the reading turns green and the phone taps once. Hang a frame, put up a shelf, mount a TV or set a washer on its feet by eye, and you often end up drilling a second hole. Level Tool tells you which side to raise before you drill. TWO TOOLS - Bubble: hold the phone against the top of a frame, a shelf or a TV, upright or on its long edge. It reads the angle of any edge, so it also works as an angle finder and an inclinometer. - Surface: lay the phone face up on a table, a floor or an appliance. It reads side to side and end to end, and tells you which corner to raise. MADE TO READ FROM A LADDER - The angle fills the screen in large digits. - The background behind the reading turns green when it is level, with one tap from the phone and a soft tick you can switch off. - A line under the reading says which side to raise. - Hold freezes the reading, so you can lift the phone off a rafter and read it. CALIBRATE WITH THE CASE ON Calibrate each tool in two steps on any flat table, with the case on. Lay the phone flat for Surface, or stand it on its long edge for Bubble, then turn it around on the same spot. That allows for your case and the camera bump. FOR RVS AND CAMPERS Lay the phone on the floor of an RV or camper, and Surface shows which way it leans and which corner to raise. PRO: ROOF PITCH, SLOPE AND A TARGET ANGLE Pro adds two units to the reading: roof pitch in x/12 and slope in percent. To read a roof, lay the phone flat on a rafter with Surface, or stand it on its long edge along the rafter with Bubble. Pro also sets a target, such as 4/12 or 6/12 for a roof, 2% for drainage or 45°, and the phone taps when you hit it. Bubble, Surface, degrees, Hold and calibration all work without Pro. If you bought Pro in an earlier version, it carries over. Level Tool shows no ads and needs no account. The level works without an internet connection. It does not measure length or distance. Check the next frame you hang before you drill. Terms of Use: https://cmlapps.github.io/leveltool/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://cmlapps.github.io/leveltool/privacy.html

About

TrueLevel Bubble Level

Features
Read full description

TrueLevel is a bubble level for your iPhone. Lay the phone on a shelf, a picture frame, a table or a washing machine and read how far it is from level in two ways at once: a bubble that drifts toward the high side, and pitch and roll in degrees, to one decimal place. The big number is the larger of the two tilts, with a short verdict beside it: Level, Almost, Slight tilt, Off or Steep. When the phone is within your tolerance, the bubble and the numbers turn green. WHAT YOU GET • Bubble level — a bullseye vial whose bubble moves toward the high side. • Pitch and roll — each axis has its own vial and its own reading in degrees. • Inclination — an optional third reading: the total angle away from flat. • Zero — tap Zero on any surface and the app shows tilt relative to it. Use it when a surface is not truly flat or a case makes the phone sit unevenly. The zero is remembered until you reset it. • Tolerance — choose how close counts as level: 0.2°, 0.5°, 1.0° or 2.0°. • Haptics — a tap when the phone settles into level. You can switch it off. • Angle log — capture a reading, name it (for example "Top shelf"), and find it later in the Log. Swipe a row to rename or delete it. Angles are shown in degrees, with the decimal separator of your region. The interface is in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Thai, Vietnamese and Simplified Chinese. FREE AND PRO The level, the pitch, roll and inclination readings, zero, tolerance and haptics are free. TrueLevel Pro, a one-time in-app purchase, unlocks saving readings to the Log. If your Log already has readings, you can keep adding to it without Pro. Unlock and Restore Purchase are in Settings. GOOD TO KNOW • Works in portrait on iPhone, using the phone's motion sensors. Accuracy depends on the sensors in your phone, so zero it on a surface you trust. • Motion is read only while the app is open on screen. • No account and no ads. The readings you save stay on your device; the purchase goes through the App Store.
