Pros and cons of Vehicle Clinometer app for iPhone and iPad
Vehicle Clinometer app good for
This is one of the best ones Ive found. I just wish it wasnt so geared towards jeeps. Cool guys dont drive jeeps, they drive full size Chevys. Make one of the vehicle options a 1980s full size GM and this will be the best app ever!
The graphics on this tiltmeter app. bury all the others. Its just like the one on my old 4Runner except with all the modern GPS features. Very cool! Works perfectly. Great App!
Ive been waiting for an app like this for a long time. What sets this one apart from the rest are the audible alarms. You can specify pitch and roll limits for your particular vehicle on the setup screen. As you drive, when your vehicles attitude approaches your pre-set limit a you hear a warning tone. When you reach the limit, an alarm sounds. The alarm is great because at those times when you need to know the vehicles attitude most, youre usually too busy paying attention to the terrain and your driving to look at a gauge. The response time on the dials is adjustable, so theyre very smooth in their operation. The compass is a nice bonus! Thanks for a great app!
I had an idea for a stand alone device that does what this app does! You compare the price against the rad 1 rollover stand alone device and you save $130. I have some suggestions for features but this app works wonderfully. Even made a iPhone holder in honor of this app and boy am I happy!
I love that I can specify the angle at which the alarms sound. That way I can take into account how much cargo Im carrying, whether or not the roof rack is loaded, etc. And its also great that the alarm is two staged, giving a warning before the rollover angle is reached. Very easy to understand and use. Very well implemented. Great app!
Great app! I like to set the audible alerts a little low to give my passengers a little scare. One update I would like to see would be the ability to save your most extreme angle. Would definitely buy this again.
Some bad moments
I needed exteme precision in this application and I didnt find it. Other "level" apps exhibit must finer performance characteristics than are currently seen in this app. For example, tiltin the iPhone 1 or 3 degrees either forward or side to side sometimes doesnt result in a change to the readout. And that made it almost useless for my intended purposes. Now if that kind of precision isnt important to you, it seems like a fine app.
If the app worked then I would give it 5 stars. Its fine for just a couple bucks EXCEPT for that the pitch meter is broken. Only goes from 0-180. Thats dumb. I tried to delete and reinstall but that didnt work. Please fix this bug. Then everyone can buy it with piece of mind. (the roll meter works great but I
want the whole app to work)
I was hoping the latest update would address the app crashing or inaccurate speed reporting. Sadly it still crashes at random.
It should be embarrassing to advertise adding a TJ when they actually added a JK. Smittybilt should know better...
Do you really believe I can read the compass or numbers while driving?
What is this warning about safe driving at the start of the program for? did you read it yourself yet?
I wish huge numbers and graphical inclination exaggeration.
Absolutely unreadable in dashboard distance. Not for vehicles!

iPad or App Store gives me problems posting, so this is Cliff notes version as I dont want to write a lengthy review for a fourth time.
Left/Right too touchy and exaggerates.
Front/Back too slow and understates.
