I’m an amateur astronomer and use this app to show me where objects will rise and set on the horizon, and rough align a telescope mount to the North Star. It is very accurate. What I would like to see added is show both magnetic north or true north, and have degrees on the dial. I know how to calibrate the app from using the Apple app, instructions should be added for those that don’t know how to calibrate. Users should also be advised that accuracy will be affected when near metal object and inside autos. This is a good app and recommend it to others.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback. I'll be sure to pass along your suggestions to our development team. We appreciate hearing how users use the app, and we're happy to hear that it is useful as you look at the stars. 🤩OMG!!! I wanted a compass to use since I moved so that I can make sure of sun and wind direction. I mentioned it to a friend that I needed to buy a compass. He said there’s as app for that! Sure enough I got it on my iPad. I am a technically challenged 86 year old woman...now I know where I am and exactly where to plant my flowers in the Spring. Thank you so much! God Bless All!
I downloaded this app because if you have an iPad you would know that it doesn’t come with a compass so i was looking for some apps and this one caught my eye because I’ve downloaded other ones in the past and there would always be a payment so when I saw that it was free (most of it) I was so happy i now download this app on all my devices when I travel I like to use this app as well anyways I hope to leave a good impression on this app that’s all please give this app 5 stars.
I had another app and found it needed to be recalibrated but no instructions for how. This app instantly shows correct directions plus it has an easy to locate flashlight. I paid the little extra to get the deluxe and now it will talk to while I’m walking in the woods.
For geography enthusiasts while traveling or at home; finding the altitude of an area, the orientation of familiar or newly discovered buildings or other structures, this compass accesses the accuracy of GPS and combines fundamentals of geography and topography to provide the information we want to know. I immediately opened the added features to access mph (traveling speed) which provides the fourth dimension of time when analyzing topography while traveling.
It’s as simple as that. I was standing in my garage, I can remember like it had just happened. It was the end of an in unseasonably warm week in North Carolina, there was a slight chill in the air and I found myself in need of knowing the four cardinal directions... honestly, it worked flawlessly and did what it was supposed to do.
I initially had problems with the upgrade version of the App (it would change to video clips from the Weather Channel) but it was quickly repaired. Apparently it was a known problem that began with the newest Apple OS change. The App is now running as it should and is handy to have. The App tech was quick to respond to my concern which makes all the difference.
I have had a few of the free compass apps. Those apps were very inaccurate, & had me driving all over the place. Instead of using GPS for everything, I am trying to learn directions in a new territory (that doesn’t have street markers, to let you know what hundred you are in). I have deleted all of the other compass apps. As a bonus, this also has a bright flashlight feature. AWESOME!
Coulda used this baby yesterday when we got directionally challenged bushwhacking thru a remote forest preserve with our dogs. We were intending to head west but unknowingly on a due north bearing. Easy to get “turned around” in dark, old growth woods on an overcast day, with a half hour before sunset. If it ever happens again, having this app would be more than comforting. Love it, thanks!!
Works great, with my old compass, my Tates, I was always getting lost, with this one I’ve never been lost. Of course my old compass was quite expensive and all my friends told me I shouldn’t have purchased it. In the end I see they were right in saying, he who has a Tates is lost.
