Causes iPhone to reboot and then no apps will work

This app is broken and should be removed from the App Store. Twice now it has caused my iPhone to reboot and then no apps will work. To fix you have to restore your iPhone with iTunes which is a hell of a lot of wasted time. If there is any malicious action taken by this application as some other have stated there should be compensation to customers who've downloaded. I thought the App Store had steps in place to prevent this. I am not impressed.

THIS APP IS A SUNDIAL!!!

Works good simple yet effective.

DO NOT DOwNLOAD

This is a malicious app. I downloaded it and my iPod on my iPhone no longer works and only displays 'no content' I can not open any other apps without them crashing before they load. Do not take the risk of downloading this app like I did even after reading a review warning me. So again, do not download this app. I'm contacting apple to get this app kill switched.

Dumb

You can't use it at night. It needs the shadow of your finger. It should move around like a REAL compas.

Pretty Funny

Masayuki must be having a giggle over this! Sublime though as useful as Origami fire truck in a bush fire.

Not working in New Zealand

Would love to see one for our part of the world.

Misunderstood

Ahem. This app works perfectly well. The average joe just doesn't understand how to use it. It cannot automatically point north. You have to be in sunlight where a shadow can be cast. You match the compass to the shadow, and it gives you direction. And the gps unit in the 3g iPhone won't give you which direction you are facing.

Don't load this app if you don't understand the most simple science of where the sun rises and sets.

It works but is so simple there's no need for it

It's good if you don't know that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west; otherwise, it's not worth your time.

C R A P

Does not work

I guess South West is really North?!?!

I used this application (after reading AND fully understanding) and when I turned the ipod so my finger's shadow overlapped the arrow, it had the "north" direction pointing almost completely opposite of North. Is it supposed to recognize your global position? (kind of important if it intends to direct you with the shadow of your finger)
