Smart Protractor & Angle Meter
Read full descriptionHide full description
SmartProtractor turns your iPhone into a professional angle-measurement toolkit. Whether you're a carpenter setting bevel cuts, an architect verifying site angles, a student solving geometry problems, or a DIY enthusiast leveling shelves and frames — get accurate readings in seconds, no extra hardware required. 4 MEASUREMENT MODES TOUCH PROTRACTOR Drag two colored handles to measure any angle on screen. Switch between 180° and full 360° modes. Enable snap-to-angle for instant exact values at 5°, 10°, 15°, 30°, and 45° increments. Lock any measurement to prevent accidental movement, then export a clean annotated diagram. CAMERA OVERLAY Overlay a live protractor on your camera feed. Aim at any object — a roof truss, door frame, staircase, or mountain ridge — and read the angle in real time. Pause to freeze the frame, fine-tune the arms, and save or share the annotated photo. PHOTO MEASUREMENT Import any photo from your library. The protractor overlays the image automatically, and you can drag it anywhere across the photo to place it exactly where you need. Adjust arms independently, pan and zoom the photo, then export the composite with the angle annotation included. POLYGON TRACING Tap anywhere to place polygon vertices and trace any irregular shape. All interior angles calculate in real time. Tap the first vertex to auto-close the shape and instantly verify the angle sum — triangle = 180°, quadrilateral = 360°, and so on. Load a photo or use the live camera as background to trace real-world objects directly on screen. LEVEL & INCLINOMETER Measure device pitch and roll with the precision of a digital spirit level. Calibrate to any surface, lock the reading, and switch between pitch and roll axes on a precision dial display. WHO USES SMARTPROTRACTOR • Carpenters — bevel angles, miter cuts, and corner joint verification • Architects — field angle checks against drawings and blueprints • Tile setters — irregular corner measurements before cutting • Students — geometry homework and theorem verification • Builders & DIYers — level shelves, frames, decks, and pictures MEASUREMENT FEATURES • Degrees, radians, and slope percentage • Snap-to-angle at 5°, 10°, 15°, 30°, and 45° increments • Lock mode to freeze any reading against accidental touch • Export & Share — save to Photos or send to any app • Copy angle value to clipboard • No ads · No subscriptions · Zero data collection
Transferidor BLA

Measures any angle. The iPhone becomes a protractor. You rest it against a surface, a wall, a ramp, and read the large angle in BLA typography. Tap to calibrate, hold mode to freeze the reading. The free protractors on the App Store are throwaway utilities, full of ads, with garish icons. Transferidor BLA is the opposite. Editorial typography, Areia BLA background, large angle display in whole degrees, arc with fine marks every 5 degrees and long marks every 15. WHAT IT'S FOR When the problem is the tilt: the accessibility ramp at the store (code says at most 8.33%), the TV that needs to hang straight on the wall, the small solar panel that wants about 16 degrees in Goiânia, the picture frame to be cut at 45, the wobbly table leg. The protractor from your school ruler now fits in your pocket. And it shows you with calm. ARC AND POINTER Semicircle arc with fine marks every 5 degrees, long marks every 15, numbers 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 on both sides of zero at the top. Pointer animated with soft physics, no jitter on quick moves. Large angle display in whole degrees, in serif Tinta. NOTABLE ANGLES When the angle hits a value that matters to the craft (zero, one third, half, two thirds, plumb), the app highlights quietly with a Verde BLA capsule. No fanfare. Just an editorial confirmation. CALIBRATION The reading comes from the accelerometer and gyroscope of the iPhone, with magnetic correction so it doesn't drift when you rotate the device. You place the iPhone on what you consider zero (the surface that should be level, the wall that should be plumb), tap calibrate, and the app reads the tilt relative to that zero. Works the same in portrait, in landscape, in any rest. Tap recalibrate to change the reference, tap clear calibration in Settings to go back to the raw reading. HOLD MODE Tap hold to freeze the reading on the display. Useful for measuring in tight spots (under a piece of furniture, behind a TV, in an awkward angle) and reading it later. Tap release to resume. 2 THEMES Areia BLA, light background with the brand base. Tinta, dark mode for low-light environments. The theme follows the iPhone's Dark Mode. 100% OFFLINE No data collection. No network. No login. No analytics. No crash reports. One-time purchase, open, measure. Transferidor BLA is an app made in Goiânia by BLA Publicações e Conteúdo Digital, an independent editorial studio led by Ivan Grycuk.

Verdict
