Well perhaps you are in a lucky minority who always finds a level space on which to park. The app doesn't help you. It does tell you how much to chock each wheel in a place where you are not level.

Thanks for giving it a go - I'm grateful for any suggestions as to how it should look and the ergonomics of how to change profiles, vans, and calibrate.

To the OP, well done, although I don't have smart phone of any kind, (unless it means able to make a phone call) I still think its a top job to do this, and for free as well.
I'm afraid I rely on the binocular vision and 'the inner ear thing that helps me walk without falling over' type of balancing, that and using a modified post leveller!
BUT not sure how when driving up my ramps i know when i have adjusted for 4mm at the front and 23 mm at the left. thinks i will just stick to my eyes and spirit level.
Btu well done for developing it
What'd be really nice to add to the app is a "Good 'nuff" (say, within a couple of cm) "Two steps of the ramps on this wheel, one on that". I'm happy to measure my yellow stepped Fiammas if it helps.

I always wild camp (40+ years) and park in some rough terrain - it is not difficult to sense your level and espy the position to park to achieve it.
stop picking on him you pedants, its FREE, though you might nip onto the tran--shyte forum and pedal it there with a charge of course,im sure they will enthuse over it cos there vans arent worth talking about...

I cannot believe that when someone has developed this to help people and has offered it for free, people have the cheek to be negative!!
If you don't need it then fine, don't use it. However being unnecessarily rude about it is not really needed.
Take these kids away from their toys and they wouldn't be able to walk down the street without falling over as they haven't got a 'levelling application'.

Who is being negative and/or rude. All that has been pointed out is that the human body comes with it's own levelling device , no wires, no batteries , no internet etc.
I won't use it - nor will I use one of those pieces of equipment that one would have to purchase to enable one to use same.
