I do 20 minute or 30 minute guided subs for astrophotography, so I suspect these apps are pretty darned good thanks. That was pre-using Sharpcap, so I was "aiming blind" per se. Now with Sharpcap, things can only get better (maybe 1 hr subs...lol)

I also have a very high quality analogue inclinometer, and the degree of error, as Phil stated, is absolutely inconsequential - in fact the app is more accurate.
