iHandy Level Free 1.70.2
Looks like a real level tool
Handy Level Free is a useful level tool which you can use to see if things are leveled, like a desk, or a painting. The UI is a real-life representation of such a level tool that uses a bubble of air inside a tube filled with liquid. The skeuomorphic design is ancient, but it’s still nice to look at in this day and age.
Accurate surface level measurements
The level function is, not surprisingly, very accurate. You need to calibrate the app before you use it to get the most accurate results, something that iHandy only explains in the App Store description, not the app itself. That’s because iHandy is the type of developer who is too busy clogging up the UI with ads to its other app. Half of the buttons inside iHandy Level Free are mini app stores, some that suggest downloading entire bulks of apps.
We’re surprised it doesn’t have third-party ads, to be frank. But all in all, iHandy Level Free does its job properly. Had it not been for the constant Rate Us nag screen, we’d actually recommend it. But knowing there are far less intrusive solutions out there that perform even better, we can’t in good faith tell you to download this one.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
iHandy Level free is very pretty. If that’s what matters to you most, then by all means grab it. |
Function8
The app does what it’s supposed to do, but not until it has washed your brain. The number of marketed apps inside iHandy Level is higher than the number of words in this sentence. |
Security9
Not a problem for your security / privacy. |
Battery8
Doesn’t drain your battery too much |
Price5
What can we say? It’s an app store disguised as a free utility. But at least it does its job. |
Compatibility7
iOS 5 and later and no iPad version |
Only because it’s not a total hoax
