Actually, you can test for plum using the vertical level. However, remember that it is only accurate for short distances and not long ones. If a wall or post is off even less than a full degree can be off more than you may wish if the length is more than just a few feet. Dan Beaver

Also, the accuracy of the level may be affected by the case on your phone. I, because I have a case that is very easy to remove, tend to use this app with the naked phone! Sandy Sent from my iPhone On 25 Mar 2014, at 12:52, Dan Beaver dbeaver...@gmail.com wrote: Actually, you can test for

Hi, Sandy. Thanks for sharing about this leveling program. I have always had a problem with things being level horizontally, and I assume that it is because of my congenital blindness. I can't wait to try this! I'm sure my wife will appreciate the fact that I may not spill as much too! Sent

Raul, Firstly, I put the phone on a tray and walked around with it while the level was active. Now, I should explain, I have a terrible sense of the horizontal. Even the plate filled with biscuits, if it is a flat one, will arrive empty when placed on a tray if I am carrying it. The tray full

Sandra, You have some of the best stories! Was the braille still readable where the egg was? Also, on the recipe front, the plastic sheets that American Thermoform, and probably others, make are great for brailled recipes and you can just wipe them off with a damp cloth if they get messy.

It is a tool that you can use to level something. So if you open it, place the long, flat side of your phone on the item you'd like to level (shelf or picture), it should announce how many degrees you are out of alignment. There is also one for when you lay it flat on a table, it will tell you

Yes! It's very good! I could wish for just one adjustment. When you hit perfect, that is, when your phone is perfectly flat, perhaps, on a tabletop, the screen goes pink. It might be nice if there could be some kind of sound indication which lasts as long as the perfect status lasts. Think how
