There are a few Apple iPhone applications that do the same thing - for free.

For View Cameras with movements - there are many articles on main page of this site. This reference is de facto standard:

There are helper excel spreadsheets on main page. Most probably there's app for that.
Also for wide lenses - focusing attachments with range scale are useful:

You have to calibrate and fix stands on your Sinar 1st, digital back is very useful for focus calibration, good loupe will work also.
If you use Sinar Handy - just use laser rangefinder.
I'm sure there are. Problem - there's no rangefinder laser on iPhone ...

OT: Leica Camera AG Germany (who owns Sinar) has nothing to do with the gadged pictured above. It's made by Leica Geosystems AG Switzerland: http://www.leica.com/
I often shoot 6x9 and want my standards to be "perfect" for this smaller, less forgiving film format, so I use an electronic level. I find it is easier to get exact accuracy than with simple bubble levels, and it is not prohibitively expensive, at least not compared to the Leica! It is small, very light, and also magnetic, so it will hold right on to your lensboard, depending on what it is made out of. And, if the battery ever does run out and you don't have one on hand, it also has "traditional" bubble levels built in. The readout is accurate to 0.05 degrees.

The only downside to it, is that after you buy it, you will likely become rather frustrated and disappointed to know just HOW FAR off all your zero detents REALLY are! I remember being pretty surprised...
