  • I miss it

    Compass app used to live on my home screen, where I used it often. Now I have to hunt for it, with weird detour to and manual search through the App Store every time. A call to Apple tech support proved useless.

    Why can't I use it directly from my home screen anymore? Such bizarre placement makes it so cumbersome to use I often forget it's there. Bummer.
  • Not... fantastic

    It doesn't seem... EXTREMELY accurate, but it's better than nothing. Also the "use true north" option seems to freeze the compass (using iPhone 11 on iOS 16)
  • Doesn’t work

    It doesn’t work on my IPhone 11. However, it works perfectly on my old IPhone 7. What’s the problem?
  • Stopped working

    Used to work fine, then stopped working about 2-3 months ago. Deleted the app, reinstalled it, still doesn't work. Oh well, Mr Jobs would not be happy😞
  • This app no longer works.

    This app as well as the bundled “Measure” app have both stopped functioning and are frozen.
    I have contacted Apple about this and even though it states that Apple is the developer customer service states they don’t support either of theses apps.
    Others have mentioned this problem and it appears that there is no fix in sight
  • Frozen often

    Nice compass when it works. But it gets stuck too often.
  • Mid fr

    It was kinda mid ngl but it’s mid yk like I kinda don’t like it but like it and that’s why it’s kinda mid yk what I mean and why are u looking at this and reading this looking goofy bruh -saige curtis
  • Middling

    It works on my iPhone 13 pro max until I go to settings and tell it to use true north. Then it locks on N and doesn’t move no matter which way I point it. That’s a problem.
  • Inconsistent

    I checked which way was north and it said the way I was facing was north and then ten min later I checked while facing a different direction and it still said I was facing north. North should remain the same direction. Why did it change?!
  • VERY disappointing

    I live in the north woods and am terribly disappointed with this app. My wife and I both have it on our phones, and laid side by side, they differ by more than 15 degrees. We visited a friend of ours who also has an iPhone and we then had a third opinion of where North might lie. I guess I’ll just have to go back to one of my trusty liquid-filled compasses. This app is terrible!!
