I don't know if you've noticed but iOS 7 comes standard with a DIGITAL INCLINOMETER within the native COMPASS app, a new A function that lovers of DIY or hikers will find luxurious.
If you enter the COMPASS you will see that it has changed a lot compared to iOS 6, as you can see in the following image:
Now, apart from the compass, in the center we see a kind of bubble that will allow us to put our iPhone completely parallel to the ground in order to see more accurately the information that the compass gives us.
If you click on the screen once, a red line will appear that will mark the difference in degrees between two positions.
In addition, if you move your finger from right to left, we will access the new function that this native app brings and that will allow us to delete any third-party application that we had installed on our terminal and that gave us this service. We will access the new digital inclinometer.
USES OF THE DIGITAL INCLINOMETER:
The uses that can be given to this utility are many, especially if we like DIY or we like hiking.
Depending on whether we place the iPhone vertically or parallel to the ground, it will give us different types of information:
Parallel to the ground: Two circles will appear and it will show us the level of a flat object.
In vertical: it will tell us the degree of inclination of an object or terrain.
Basically it performs the same function as the so-called "levels", that mason's or carpenter's contraption with a green liquid that, through a small bubble, will tell us if an element is level or not.
Both in one display or another, we can mark a position by clicking on the screen. When doing this, the level will appear in red and it will turn green as soon as we put the level parallel to that position.

This is very good to be able to put, for example, far inclined but at the same time parallel.
As you can see, our iPhone is used for more things every day and it's appreciated.
