The small angle guide is useful to help find the best angle to maximize the solar output of your panels, especially if it is adjustable or small. For $10, it is well worth it.

How ? Thanks
I'm not sure about the phone app, but you can just use anything cylindrical (like a tin can)… if you put the bottom of the can on the surface of the panel while you are adjusting the angle, you know it's directly facing the sun when there is no shadow around the can.
There is a good angle finder (FREE) in the APPS store -- look under LEVEL ... there is about 20 of them ... LEVEL is the one we use at work installing panels

Yeah, this is a complete waste of money considering how you can just align your panel to the sun for free using a random object & observing the shadow.

I used "Sun Seeker" which is expensive, but it works really well with maps, and 3D augmented reality to show where the sun will be at all times during the year.
