It is not a compass . . .

It is an experimental intelligence measurement system. If the 1 stars vs the 4-5 stars are indeed an measurement of those who simply cannot comprehend instructions, or choose not to, it is a sad commentary on the decline of our societies critical thinking skills. It would be interesting to know if the author is indeed in some psychological expermental field and/or a student of same. The app is great though; I actually used it for real once and the measurement was accurate enough for me to get where I had intended.

Literally the worst app I've ever downloaded

Of the more than 1000 apps I've downloaded since the App Store was in existence this is the absolute worst app ever . The developers should do the universe a favour and remove this app for all eternity. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

It does work

As per the write up on the App Store, this app displays a picture of a compass and relies on you using a finger to cast a shadow which indicates North. So it does work.
However, the dimensions of a finger and the iWatch give such an inaccurate indication that it would be quicker to look up and see where the sun was.

It works in another way too. Although the GPS is irrelevant, it captures your location "always". Who it is working for - is not you.

OMG ... Put my finger where?

What a useless app. There are enough finger prints on the face of my iPhone without having to stick my finger in middle and the rotating the phone to find north. An anologue wrist watch worms better to find north

Give this a 1 out of 5

Brilliant

This is a superb app. For all you people who don't understand how the app works, place any of your fingers, upright, on the centre of the compass. (this only works if you are under sunlight). The shadow of your finger should show. Line up the shadow with the marked out area on the compass, and voila, you have a compass. Dumass

Great!

Works perfectly on 3rd gen iPod touch. I think that's what it is designed for because no other compass app works. Why is everyone hating on it!
