No Level in the iPad Measure app?

This article suggests the iPad Pro Measure app should include a Level but mine does not. Is it supposed to have one that's missing or is the article wrong?

The iOS 12 “Measure” App, for iPad, does not include the Level function. The Level function is only available on iPhone.


This is perhaps not surprising as the iPad, when compared with iPhone, is comparatively large/heavy/fragile.


If you need a level function for your iPad, there are a number of third-party alternatives that support iPad and iPhone in the App Store. One of the better and most flexible alternatives is Clinometer.

If you know anything about construction the longer the bubble level measuring device is, the more accurate the level function is.

So not including the bubble level function on the larger/longer, compatible iPads was just dumb on Apple’s part.

However, you are correct.

There are plenty of construction bubble level apps in the iOS App Store.

It just would have been more convenient to have access to a 2-in-1 app for the functionality instead of going back and forth between apps.

With the iPad Pro with multitasking, though , you might be able to use Split screen view to put up the Measure app on one screen and a bubble level app on another and go between the two simply by tapping one or the other screens to make active.


So, there is another good solution right there
