    We've got something coming very soon for this.

    Quoted from Strohz:

    Ok, do tell more! Very interesting, I hate levelling the machines and never could get the pin guy app to work for me.

    We came up with a sensor that gets stuck to the playfield somewhere, like under the apron, and paired that with a phone app. We've been testing it for a while and have gotten some good feedback. Working on the final revisions of all the software before release in the next month or two (barring any issues).

    I don't want to say too much about it before it's ready to buy, but we are pretty proud of it. @wildertronix is my partner in crime on this little gadget.

    Quoted from WizardsCastle:

    My only concern would be that different points of the of can give different readings, so how would a level under the apron work?

    Without going to solutions too much, the device also knows what pitch/roll you like the machine at. As you've pointed out, not all measurement points return the exact same values, especially on older/sagging/warped playfields. This is more noticeable the more accurate the device is. This one is really accurate.
