Level HD for the iPad

I was able to hook up with one of my Instagram friends and try out a new iPad app called Level HD [iTunes link].

It's basically a trio of levels, inclinometer and rulers.  It's really that simple.  On one hand, it's really precise.  If you have an iPad 2, it appears to make full use of the accelerometer and gyroscope.  On the other hand, it's $4.99.

Talking with one of my woodworking friends, he said at the $4.99 price point it's a little too expensive for something you'd use only around the house.  Unless you like to take chances and are willing to use your iPad in your wood shop.

UPDATE 8/13/2011:  The app is now 60% off at $1.99!  If you want this app, NOW is the time to get it!

If you are willing to spend $5 and don't want to go to the store for levels and an inclinometer to use around the house, then this is the app for you.
