Stanley’s Level App

(available for the iPhone and iPad) gives you a portable level in the palm of your hand. The app asks you to calibrate your device for the first use. Once completed, the digital level is available anytime, anywhere. Just like a real level, the bubble will indicate when you’re straight. For ease of use, numbers indicate how close to center you are - the farther from 0°, the farther from straight you become.

This app is available in two styles, so you can choose the one that fits your mood: classic Stanley cherry wood level, or the modern yellow Fatmax Level.

For fast projects or unexpected needs, you will always have the level device right in your pocket.
