Actually, level is part of the Measure app as Mark pointed out in his post. The 
Measure app could be in a folder called Utilities or it could be elsewhere 
depending on how you set up your phone and arrange your apps.

The app is actually called Measure; there is a Level tab. Use this 
semi-frequently and it works quite well.

Mark,

This was very interesting with excellent detail about the iOS Level app. I 
suspect that even with a perfectly level washer, you will experience occasions 
especially when laundering bed linens, blankets, and towels that they will get 
out of balance in your washer causing it to shake, rattle, and roll and 
necessitating that you simply open the lid and redistribute everything evenly. 
Of course, you are free to revisit the level project again if you have that 
time available.

Hello Everyone,

I have been meaning to post to the list for quite a while but time just keeps 
slipping away.

Anyway, a while back, my top-loading washer began doing the walk of shame 
across the floor during the high-speed portion of the spin cycle.  Now It was 
not doing this every spin cycle but only when I had the basket loaded with 
heavy bedding.

Anyway, again with that time slipping away thing, I let it go on for far too 
long.

Finally, one day, I decided to either resolve the problem on my own or hire 
someone to do it for me.

Of course, I knew that the problem was that the machine needed to be leveled as 
it had been over 4 years since its installation into my home.

The thing is, to the naked eye, the unit looked pretty much level; at least it 
did to all of the sighted people I consulted; not professionals, just friends.

Finally, I remembered that my beloved 14 Pro Max has a native level app.  I 
discovered that the laundry room floor dips off by about 1 degree as one 
approaches the center of the room.  You really can't tell by standing on the 
floor because it only reaches that 1 degree at the very center.

Anyway, after practicing with the level for a day or so with various surfaces 
around my house, one day I began leveling the washer, by myself; even though it 
is generally a 2-man job.

With the help of the iOS level app, I was able to get the washing machine level 
after about 15 minutes or so.  I was truly impressed at how sensitive the 
device was to even the slightest changes in a surface angle.

After 15 minutes or so, I took my final measurements and the machine was 
perfectly level from every angle I could think of to measure.

Now, even with the heaviest loads in the basket, the walk of shame has stopped.

What a wonderful tool that helped me to get the job done right.

The level app, found in the Measure app of iOS is always there when you need 
it; so take it for a quote, spin, quote, the next time you need to level up.
(smile)

Mark

Hi Mark, 

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I obviously have old technology where my 
washing machine is concerned. But I really dome like technology that tries to 
think for me but a washing machine that never got out of balance would be nice. 

Glad you got it working right and I'll wish you're machine thousands of 
balanced washes with no more walks of shame.

Mark’s interesting post reminded me of my mechanical weight driven cuckoo clock.

Perhaps some of you will already know for the clock to continue to run it has 
to be vertical or it will stop between five to and the hour.  The chins that 
are attached to the weights have to be exactly vertical.

After some trial and error and not getting the clock to work I used the level 
on my iPhone to set it up.  It worked perfectly well for years and the level 
came in handy again when I moved house.

Hello Everyone,

I have been meaning to post to the list for quite a while but time just keeps 
slipping away.

Anyway, a while back, my top-loading washer began doing the walk of shame 
across the floor during the high-speed portion of the spin cycle.  Now It was 
not doing this every spin cycle but only when I had the basket loaded with 
heavy bedding.

Anyway, again with that time slipping away thing, I let it go on for far too

Finally, one day, I decided to either resolve the problem on my own or hire 
someone to do it for me.

Of course, I knew that the problem was that the machine needed to be leveled as 
it had been over 4 years since its installation into my home.

The thing is, to the naked eye, the unit looked pretty much level; at least it 
did to all of the sighted people I consulted; not professionals, just friends.

Finally, I remembered that my beloved 14 Pro Max has a native level app.  I 
discovered that the laundry room floor dips off by about 1 degree as one 
approaches the center of the room.  You really can't tell by standing on the 
floor because it only reaches that 1 degree at the very center.

Anyway, after practicing with the level for a day or so with various surfaces 
around my house, one day I began leveling the washer, by myself; even though it 
is generally a 2-man job.

With the help of the iOS level app, I was able to get the washing machine level 
after about 15 minutes or so.  I was truly impressed at how sensitive the

perfectly level from every angle I could think of to measure.

Hello Alan,

It is good to hear from you.

Yes, I would have thought so, also but in 4 years, my washer has not required 
that I redistribute the load.  This model has an amazing gyroscope built in to 
the basket.

In fact, one reason why it took me so long to address the problem is because 
having to occasionally redistribute the load is a normal thing.

Then, one day, it occurred to me that for the past 4 years, I had never had the 
occasion to redistribute anything.

Since leveling the machine, I've done 10 full capacity loads and there isn't 
even the hint of having to redistribute anything.

In fact, 2 days ago, when the machine finished, I opened the lid and noticed 
that the load had shifted and was not eveningly distributed.  Regardless, the 
machine ran as smooth as Tupelo honey.  That gyroscope is amazing.  All it 
requires is that the physical frame be leveled.

 You know, since then, I've been using my iPhone 14 to randomly check the 
levels of everything around my house and I find that almost nothing in this 
place is level.  Wow!!!  I'm thinking that there is definitely such a thing as 
having too much information (smile).

Subject: Don't Forget About the Excellent Level App that is Part of iOS 16

Hello Everyone,

I have been meaning to post to the list for quite a while but time just keeps 
slipping away.

Anyway, a while back, my top-loading washer began doing the walk of shame 
across the floor during the high-speed portion of the spin cycle.  Now It was 
not doing this every spin cycle but only when I had the basket loaded with 
heavy bedding.

Anyway, again with that time slipping away thing, I let it go on for far too 
long.

Finally, one day, I decided to either resolve the problem on my own or hire 
someone to do it for me.

Of course, I knew that the problem was that the machine needed to be leveled as 
it had been over 4 years since its installation into my home.

The thing is, to the naked eye, the unit looked pretty much level; at least it 
did to all of the sighted people I consulted; not professionals, just friends.

Finally, I remembered that my beloved 14 Pro Max has a native level app.  I 
discovered that the laundry room floor dips off by about 1 degree as one 
approaches the center of the room.  You really can't tell by standing on the 
floor because it only reaches that 1 degree at the very center.

Anyway, after practicing with the level for a day or so with various surfaces 
around my house, one day I began leveling the washer, by myself; even though it 
is generally a 2-man job.

With the help of the iOS level app, I was able to get the washing machine level 
after about 15 minutes or so.  I was truly impressed at how sensitive the 
device was to even the slightest changes in a surface angle.

After 15 minutes or so, I took my final measurements and the machine was 
perfectly level from every angle I could think of to measure.

Now, even with the heaviest loads in the basket, the walk of shame has stopped.

What a wonderful tool that helped me to get the job done right.

The level app, found in the Measure app of iOS is always there when you need 
it; so take it for a quote, spin, quote, the next time you need to level up.
