Anonymous, 24 Dec 2015Yes! That's how apps should be made - online. Not something that stays in my device to be used... moreYou have a valid point there, sadly not all of us can afford 24/7 mobile internet.
I use Swiss Army Knife app with tons of tools.
And yes I even use it like once per year for bubble level measurement :)

To the caution remarks:
If in doubt make TWO measurements, turning the phone 180 degrees (still face up of course), this will tell what is a non-flat back (or poor calibration), and what is the surface.

Does not work well if you live on the side of a 4500m mountain.

the magnetometer??
Can't see how it doesn't use the (more common and accurate) accelerometer. In fact some lower end phones lack the magnetometer AKA compass.
Any stronger magnetic field disturbances around it would screw the measure, also in some places, during some times of the year (or years...) the earth's magnetic field is a lot weaker, it varies with time per region, gravity in other hand varies on such a smaller scale it can be considered constant for this application in particular (it's not like you're trying to check the surface level on Mount Everest, or car in movement where the external forces would mess the reading, not even an actual bubble level would work there).

Yes! That's how apps should be made - online. Not something that stays in my device to be used at best once per year.
