Hinge Protractor for iPhone Duo: Forgot your protractor to school? Want a measure an angle at construction? Tracing a pattern and need a glowing guide line under the paper? Use the app on Duo! On iPhone Duo, it reads the hinge sensor and shows the exact angle between the two screens as you fold. On any other iPhone, the whole screen becomes a ruler at true physical size. FEATURES: - Live angle: Fold or tilt and watch the number follow in real time. - Resizable measurements: Pinch, twist and drag the reading anywhere on screen. - Honest precision: one-time calibration: open and close the hinge slowly, once. - Real-size ruler: Rulers along the screen edges show true physical size in centimetres or inches. Check them against any bank card for perfect accuracy. - Relative measurments: Drag two lines across the screen and read the exact position off both rulers. - Saved measurements: Double-tap to save an angle, a ruler position or both. Add a note, drag to reorder, and undo with one tap. - Configuration: Degrees or radians, centimeters or inches, light or dark theme, in English, Russian or Chinese.
AngleDuo

Two surfaces. One angle. On iPhone Duo, AngleDuo uses the hinge to measure the angle between two surfaces. Position the two halves against the surfaces and read the result. Hold the value with a tap or enable automatic capture, which waits for two seconds of stable readings. A held value stays available when you close the phone. On other iPhones and iPads, measure two surfaces in sequence: capture the first, then move the same device edge to the second. The shared edge must be horizontal; this gravity-based method cannot measure a corner between vertical walls. On Duo, sequential measurement is available in Settings. The level measures with the device resting on its back or standing on an edge. A moving shadow and a fixed scale show the tilt. Placement can be selected in Settings, where you can also find slope and roof-pitch values. βPer cutβ gives the saw setting for two equal miter cuts. An interior angle of 112Β° gives 34Β° per cut; 0Β° means a square cut. Find it on Duoβs supplementary inner pane or in Settings. The spirit level is free. The angle finder includes 5 free measurements; after that, the one-time AngleDuo Pro purchase unlocks it without limit. Measure angles without limit, with the hinge and on any iPhone. Also includes target angles with tolerance and relative zero. Optional Pro purchases and restoration are handled by Apple through StoreKit. The app checks the purchase entitlement on your device. We do not receive your payment details. The number of free angle measurements used is counted on your device in the Keychain; it is not transmitted and is not reset by deleting local data. Deleting local measurements does not cancel a purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hinge Protractor at none against AngleDuo's 1. AngleDuo's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
