Free Level Application For BlackBerry Storm

*Ok, so apparently it's not new, but I've never seen it in app world before, until just the other day so it's still new to me*
I was having a look around BlackBerry App World the other day to see if there were any new app additions for the Storm. Lo and behold I found a new application from Xtremelabs, the same folks who brought us the awesome Speedtest application. This one is just simply and accordingly called Level. If you ever have any need around the house or garage for a level and typically happen to have your Storm on you, you may wanna check this one out as it could come in handy on more than a few occassions. It's a nice free alternative to Storm Level Pro and is available at the link below or through BlackBerry App World.

This one's not new. It has been around a while now

New to app world in the past few days.

I also found that an app called Levelit from MoPho Software is a nice looking app that can detect horizontal or vertical levelness using the linear level and detects if flat surfaces are level using the circular level. Check it out at: http://store.pdablast.com/product.asp?id=33199&n=LevelIt

I don't see how this would work since 1. the storm has buttons on the side so it GASP can't sit flat on the ground 2. it can't stand up without someone holding it. I know this from experience of someone who downloaded Storm Level Pro and showed me it.

You can lay it flat on its back (like it is meant to be used.) and then hit the blackberry key and hit calibrate... This will make it sit flat.

i have a hard case that shrouds the buttons and provides a level surface the app works for me

What does
907 invalid cod file not found error mean?

Umm the app has been in the app world since launch..... And it was available even before that for a couple of months.
And yeah the thought of a level might sound cool at first but it is really not practices with all those buttons on the side.

This is exciting because we can all pretend that our Storm is going to turn into an iphone!! Seriously, I'm going to ditch my Storm and sell it on ebay and just get an iphone. My Storm works "ok" on 4.7.113 v3 hybrid and even works "ok" on 4.7.75, however the whole RIM thing to me has been a disappointment. I thought they would at least try to compete with the iphone! They haven't!! You install a couple of apps and now you are low on memory.... then, you have to monitor your memory all day for leaks and make sure to "quickpull" when it gets too low and wait 5 minutes for it to reboot itself! Then, the O/S is an old trackball O/S where the touch screen was a second thought? They worked on that for a couple of years and were EXCITED about it?? Then, the App World is slow, takes up even more of the limited memory on your device and doesn't really have anything much for my Storm?! Then, I install some stuff from App World and I have to run it in "compatability mode" or it just plain doesn't work?! Everyone is getting excited over these leveling applications and the "fart" application is the top download in App World?

i had this app for a few days. kept freezing and could only fix it with a battery pull. not worth it for me.
SteveMi Apr 12, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Storm Level Pro is 10 times better, does not even compare. It is also available in the RIM App World or in the CrackBerry store.
spartan905 Apr 12, 2009 at 2:42 pm
hasn't this been out for a few months? at least?
havoc187 Apr 12, 2009 at 4:37 pm
This was in App world the first day it released. That's when i got it.
Greg123 Apr 12, 2009 at 4:57 pm
I've had this for a while, but is it just my phone or does this not actually level correctly? I have to turn my phone to an obvious slant before it will say that it is level...there should be a way to calibrate it or something.
Midnight Barbecue Apr 12, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Hit the BB button, there's a calibration option.
Still, this is more of a novelty than anything. I used it a few times when I downloaded it a month or two ago but haven't opened it since. Guess I should delete it to gain space.
Even after calibration it isn't very accurate, kind of jumpy sometimes.
NinjaRose Apr 13, 2009 at 1:04 pm
Does nobody hit there blackberry key???
If you lay the phone flat and hit the blackberry key, there is a calibration key...
Tifoso Apr 12, 2009 at 6:50 pm
Useless app and a waste of app memory. Fire up the app and set it down. Then take a real level and set it next to the Storm. Note the vast difference in accuracy.
blacktoothberry Apr 12, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Apps just eat up memory. Glad I dumped 85% of them. Unless I plan on using it at least every other day I will not put it on my Storm.
HarlyFan Apr 12, 2009 at 7:44 pm
I tried this and its not very accurate.....
sushiguy732 Apr 12, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Yes I know it is free. It is still not worth it. Not this leveling app but any leveling app. The Storm itself is not level and therefore you will never get an accurate reading.
chuckh0308 Apr 12, 2009 at 10:30 pm
I can't speak for this particular app, but Storm Level Pro is VERY accurate. You just need to calibrate it first using a real bubble level.

Did you say "LOW and behold"?

i swear i picked this up about a month ago.. but good post
level? Apr 13, 2009 at 7:15 am
yeah, this has been in app world since it opened, it might even work if the storm had a level surface you could use....
