looks cool though- Im on a Samsung galaxy y ?
Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it. Maybe that phone doesn't have the orientation sensors.

Just downloaded this. Look forward to testing it.
I might try it on the kitchen table first, that's always wobbling!
Well done and thanks.

You'll need to enter the wheelbase and track of your table and save it as a new van
It will get it within a degree. Best of luck!

If you have a sense of balance and eyes you don't need anything else to know if you are level. Why do you need an aid to parking level?

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!

It works great on my Samsung Galaxy Note.
I think it's OTT having it down to millimetres though.
Ignore the naysayers some of us like these little toys.

Massively. But I like it.
We've "made do" with one of
these so far...

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.

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.
Thanks NP for taking the time and sharing.

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'.
CliffDutfield
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.
