Hi Fons, Thanks for your feedback! I would argue: A digital spirit level can be way more precise than smartphone sensors for sure. But a physical spirit level with the curved air bubble inside a colored liquid that has to be placed centrally between two lines drawn on the liquid filled tube

Think of it: You have reflections, and refractions, and the bubble curvature: https://pixabay.com/photos/spirit-level-tool-craft-to-build-2081193/ Errors of more than one degree are very common. Still, you are right: We definitely show off!
