Default I've finally found a use for the iPhone!

I'm not an iPhone fan... I use a 4S daily for work and wish I could use my Samsung Galaxy instead. The iPhone is a great computer with a lousy phone attached to it, IMHO...
That said, after downloading the new iOs7 update I discovered a neat little feature - an angle finder! There is an app for the Galaxy that does it too but this works better with the iPhone's squared corners!



Now, if only I could get decent phone reception!!!

There's a decent angle finder/level for the Android platform also!

My Galaxy android has curves all over it, won't work too well for that app, but the iPhone's squared edges make it perfect... as an angle finder!

My HTC Incredible II has two decent sides. If you have decent contact point you can calibrate the app to those and it might be reasonably close?

PS - Flat sides or not I'm not doing iPhonies.

(though I may load the app on my wife's LOL)
