- A bubble level bar, exactly as you can see in carpenter tool kit shops, and more beautiful!
- A steel protractor, measuring angles from 0 to 180 degrees.
- A steel ruler, supporting both inches and centimeters. By swiping it left and right, the ruler is capable to measure things much longer than your Phone!

A few tips for better use of iHandy Carpenter:
- THE PLUMB BOB, SURFACE LEVEL AND BUBBLE LEVEL BAR
Calibrate it first before any serious usage!
- USE THE PLUMB BOB TO MEASURE THE VERTICALITY OF A WALL
Two ways to test the verticality of a wall:
1. Put your Phone back-to-back onto the wall you measure (Recommended).
If the shadow of the plumb bob is on X axis (y equals zero), it then indicates your wall is perfectly straight and vertical to the ground. Please note that in this way the reading of "x" does NOT have to be zero.
The back of Phone is not totally flat. But it's accurate enough just to use the flat part of your Phone.
2. Put one edge of your Phone on the wall you measure.
If the shadow of the plumb bob is on Y axis (x equals zero), it then indicates your wall is perfectly straight and vertical to the ground. Please note that in this way the reading of "y" does NOT have to be zero.
- HOW TO MEASURE THE SLOPE OF A SURFACE
A few ways to measure the slope of a surface:
1. Use the Surface Level (Recommended).
Put your phone onto the inclined surface (The edge of Phone should be in line with the slope direction of the surface. To verify this, just to check whether the reading of "y" is around zero).
The reading of "x" is the slope angle of the measured surface.
2. Use the bubble level bar
Put one edge or back of your Phone stick to the inclined surface (The edge of Phone should be in line with the slope direction of the surface).
The reading is the slope angle of the measured surface.
If the surface is almost vertical to the ground, we suggest that you use the plumb bob tool to measure the surface instead.

Why are you harvesting information from users of your app? Why do you need GPS information? Why are you sending data to servers? This should be illegal.

I used to love this app. Paid for the app as well... now it wants permissions to access information it has no business accessing. UNINSTALLED.

Comes in handy for some things, but the tape measure sucks a bit. It should use the camera to locate on the piece you're measuring so that it "pulls out" just like a regular tape measure.

How come all of a sudden it needs access to everything? Why does a carpentry tool need access to my phone history caller information location everything? Uninstalled it so it wouldn't prompt me anymore to update.

Why does a plumb Bob need my contacts, my call info, my Wi-Fi info, and list & status of my other running apps?! Isn't it enough that this is a paid app, not a free (aka ads-supported) one?

I really do not see why a carpentry app that I paid for needs access to my call log and contact list? Can we get an answer please? No update until I do. UPDATE: No response, uninstalled.

The app is handy for basic carpentry. However I see the latest version needs lots of permissions. Why are those required to read the accelerometer values?

Hmm, kinda like the app itself, however, the excessive permission count pulls my rating down. If some of these permissions are disabled in Android, you get a warning since the app apparently can't handle such a scenario properly. This app needs to be recoded to allow the user to set which ever permissions he/she, and not the developer, deems appropriate,
