I would imagine that the phone measures off the horizontal though. So if you are holding the phone lengthwise up and down it would measure from a line parallel with the side of the phone to the horizontal. But what do I know...I didn't write the stupid software.

That's not 68*, that's not even 30*. You might want a new app. :lol:

68* is two-thirds the way to sitting on it's side.

The App might have been measuring the vertical angle from 90 so he was only 22* from level.

Its all perspective. :thumbs:

Yes, 22* is more likely, I'm just not sure how the app got 68*.
I can't imagine step one of using the app is "Turn the phone on it's side to 90* so we can start." :lol:

I think it may be very possible that it was measuring relative to the position of the phone... :dunno:
That's the only way I can see that it would get 68 degrees...

It has a gyro in it so it should know where it is relative to the earths surface. If he were holding it 46* the other way, and then rotated it to the 22* incline, that would just be weird.

68* and it wasn't rolling down the hill?

Nope. It was leaning pretty damn bad though. It didn't look that steep before I pulled up right there. Drivers side was probably at least 12-15 inches or higher than the passenger side was. I was sliding out of my seat onto the center console.

Yeah, I did have the phone sideways. :facepalm: Flat would have been 90°.

I can't see that image from any perspective.
