I saw several apps - one a knee goniometer and another a goniometer.  The knee one was more expensive ($4.99) and had poorer reviews.  The other ($3.99) by Jinfra had rave reviews and can be used anywhere - maybe even as a level for you handy carpenters.  There's a third - unreviewed for $.99 called simple goniometer that looks same as rave review one.

I don't start PT for two weeks, so haven't tried it yet.
4/04 R knee partial meniscectomy

4/27 ORIF (2 of @ 6 pieces pin & wire together)

6/16 begin PT with 45 degrees ROM
7/14 75 ROM
7/21 81 ROM

11/30 127 ROM

Thanks for the heads up on this App, I pinch the kids iPods to use it  ;)

It's great 'cos it gives me the incentive to try for a little bit more of a push, just to eek out an extra degree or two.

I've just downloaded an app ROM (free via google play) for my Samsung phone....will try and work it out, as I'm slightly confused at this point of the morning. Think I may have just trialled it the wrong way, but will let you know after some shut eye.
Thanks for the link, and the suggestion! If it works...brilliant!!!  :)
