Measure

  1. Read, hold and save the level

    The card under the tabs says Level or Not level, with Roll, Pitch and Slope on Bar, and Left · right, Front · back and Tilt on Surface. Hold keeps the reading, Save puts it in Records, and Beep sounds each time the phone becomes level.

Calibrate

    To calibrate, put the phone on something you know is level, the way you measure, and tap Calibrate. Bar and Surface keep their own calibration; Reset calibration removes it.
