Paint Tester (Free)
See how new colors would look on your walls before you paint!Finding the right color for a room can be a challenge, but Paint Tester shows you the results without all the pain of painting and repainting! Easily try out colors from the palette or take a photo of a color you’d like to try, and apply it to pictures of your own home! Know what you’re getting in to before the first drop of paint touches the walls.
Paint Tester’s variety of tools and smart paint bucket make it easy to change the wall color in a picture in a matter of seconds!
Start by taking a picture of the room you’d like to paint, then use the paint bucket to apply colors to the walls. In a well lit photo, the smart paint bucket will color the wall without bleeding on to neighboring walls or the ceiling. This gives you the control to get a clean picture of how the color would look, and you can even use multiple colors at the same time to try an accent wall!
If you didn’t like how the first color looks, use the color picker to choose another, and just tap with the paint bucket to replace it!
For great results try taping a color sample to the wall and take a photo of it. Use the color picker to select the sample, then use the paint bucket to start applying the color right next to the sample. Because the sample and the wall will be lit the same, this can take a lot of the guesswork out of how the color will look in the lighting of the room.

iHandy Carpenter ($1.99)
There are 5 tools in this Carpenter tool kit: – A plumb bob, the easiest way for you to verify the verticality of lines or walls – A surface level, the best tool to level any flat surface – A bubble level bar, exactly as you can see in carpenter tool kit shops, and more beautiful! – A steel protractor, measuring angles from 0 to 180 degrees. – A steel ruler, supporting both inches and centimeters. By swiping it left and right, the ruler is capable to measure things much longer than your iPhone! – Once calibrated, the plumb bob, surface level and level bar can also be used as an inclinometer/clinometer by reading the angles on the screen.
HOW TO MEASURE THE SLOPE OF A SURFACE : A few ways to measure the slope of a surface: 1. Use the Surface Level (Recommended). Put your iphone onto the inclined surface (The edge of iPhone should be in line with the slope direction of the surface. To verify this, just to check whether the reading of “y” is around zero). The reading of “x” is the slope angle of the measured surface.
2. Use the bubble level bar Put one edge or back of your iPhone stick to the inclined surface (The edge of iPhone should be in line with the slope direction of the surface). The reading is the slope angle of the measured surface. If the surface is almost vertical to the ground, we suggest that you use the plumb bob tool to measure the surface instead.
