It's a nifty gadget to have. The only thing is, the batteries it uses are far from common. You need to keep those annoying little button cells around. They should make it use a AAA or a small little rechargeable lithium. I'd pay 15 bucks more for a rechargeable version. 

I picked mine up at Woodcraft when the new model came out. The only difference was the new one had a backlight and a slightly different look. Old model went to clearance for 20 bucks. It's helpful for those who have digital readout OCD.  

You sir will be pleased to know that the model I bought takes one AAA battery.

That's about worth the upgrade in itself.

If your smart phone has a flat edge, there are 'protractor' apps that do the angle measurement the same way. The one time I tried it worked like a champ.
