Some things to note from someone who's actually used it, unlike all these armchair experts:
The accuracy is spot on and verified against a Fowler angle finder, which has hundredth degree precision.
Having purchased it recently, I'm not sure where the disparity in the recent reviews is coming from, other than receiving a unit with crappy/old batteries. This is nothing new for Klein tools. Their batteries always suck and shouldn't be used.
So, the good news is that the tool works and is accurate, especially if you put in fresh batteries.
With that said, it's not without a few downsides:
The tilt on the Z axis is very touchy before it will display an error. You have to keep the display nearly perfectly vertical to keep it happy.
The LCD display is dated technology, so trying to view it at an angle or with polarized sunglasses is difficult. This is made more frustrating by the Z axis tilt issue, as you can't just position it differently to correct for the LCD's shortcomings.
The only magnet is on the bottom. This is understandable in terms of not affecting the accuracy, but inconvenient in practice (if the LCD could do 90 degree rotation, this wouldn't be an issue). You can add an L-bracket with magnets and use the relative angle function to get around this, but it's definitely less convenient than the Fowler, which has magnets on 3 sides.
The v-groove can be frustrating if you're just looking to stick it on something that's thinner than the groove. It causes the unit to tilt and throw an error. I added a plate to the bottom to make it flat.
Lastly, the durability on the plastic that covers the LCD is questionable. It scratches just from taking the unit out of the case and it's soft enough that it can probably be punctured fairly easily.
You might be technically right in that any phone with a tilt sensor can provide fairly accurate measurements, but suggesting it can replace a dedicated tool is utter nonsense.
Nobody is pulling out their expensive phone in place of this, especially if their job requires tenth of a degree precision.

I'm an electrician and love this level. I use it often to bend conduit. It works great to quickly get the same angle bent on a handful of conduit. My first one I dropped a few too many times even while in its case. The magnet would stick to other items in my kangaroo pouch and fling across the ground when I was just reaching for my square. It became off by 0.3 degrees. So I bought a second along with a hard shell case. Love it. May buy another now as just a back-up.
I have one of these its quite nice. Nice to be able to check roof pitch and other angles. Seems accurate for its size, but also would be nice if it came with say something to attach it too so it can spread out over a verified flat surface and average a larger area. There is a reason 4 foot and 8 foot levels are used for some things, wish this could like "attach" to a level making it a digital level.

Why not make your own?
You can buy an existing bubble level and screw a ferromagnetic plate to it.

Try fresh batteries in the one that got dropped and turn the unit upside down.
If the display has trouble locking into an angle, it might be that the magnet got dislodged and is interfering with the sensor.
good idea. use your $1000 phone (that's probably on a 3 year contract) to make wrong measurements due to the phone case and side buttons throwing off the angle. also, nothing bad ever happens when you drop your phone while using it as a construction tool.
As an electrician we use these on big conduit bent on a table top bender. We use this to match bends. People saying use your phone for this you never bent 4" conduit on a table top bender. Not all tools the home owner needs. Tools like this make my job easier and this tool does help.

Maybe some people don't drop things? (not me)
We had our septic system installed prior to home purchase and this guy was taking his phone and reaching down into parts of the system and taking pictures. He would then show me the images on the phone. He's been doing septic system installation and repair for 15 years, and he probably didn't just get his first iPhone. Also, would you do this after losing it once, or even twice? Anyway, I was surprised that was his imaging tool of choice.

The side buttons don't throw off the angle because it isn't that precise. Unless your surface is at 1 degree or more, you're getting a zero reading.
This thing lives on my table saw, its handy. I wouldn't use it for any application where you don't have a reference to zero against. It's accurate to .1 degree. I do lots of trim and that is plenty accurate for that. I think the woodworkers complaining of accuracy are a little full of themselves, you don't need more accuracy than that for 99.9% percent of projects. They just spent too much money on their machinist squares and are being complainy.

Yeah I was actually intrigued for a moment and then saw comments about it losing accuracy and realized that a floating bubble never becomes mis-calibrated.

Luckily, these are very easy to take apart.
