LOVE IT!
Absolutely invaluable. An absolute must have for military. Fantastic for hunters as well. I am an officer in the National Guard and I use this app constantly in the field. Absolutely fantastic!EXTRA-ECCLESIAM-NULLA-SALUS
Too Complex with Useless Arcane Options
While I have had Spyglass for a number of years, it has never been a go to app. It is just too complex with numerous useless and cumbersome options. I have successfully used Spyglass as a clinometer in the past, but tonight it would not work. I could not get it to work with the camera tonight as it used to to get the elevation of a thunder cloud. Frustrating!Show lessEdLewis2

There was a bug with the camera that could not be enabled from the app settings - it is now fixed. P.S. Contacting support directly would help to fix the bug earlier.Quit your unsolicited ad prompting, dod gamnit!!!!!
I am personally offended by intrusive advertisements! This would’ve been a five star app. Unfortunately, like way too many other venues, they seem to think that aggressive intrusive advertisements are the same as having someone stick their finger down your throat! Because I get really pizzed when I’m trying to look down on this app real quick at a stoplight and this full-page dam ad covers the face of the app until you shut it manually! And it doesn’t do it just once it is artificial stupidity as opposed to artificial intelligence! I don’t know maybe these ad developers are on crack or some thing.Show lessDude with big brass ones

There should be no ads at all in Spyglass app. Did you mix it with some other app? In any case - you can always contact support to fix any issue =)Fun on the Train
I use this app on the Amtrak Acela. It’s great. I just leave it open. Shows the speed and the map of the areas, towns and cities is great!Quintessents
Must have if you’re in China
As you may notice iOS had disabled the it’s own compass app,and made this app a must-have tool, although the interface of PRO version could be simpler and easier for amateur like me. I wish I can copy-paste my location info (incl. GPS coordinator) to SMS and other apps.Kevin4misc
Very disappointed, not recommended at all!
I truly feel is a ripoff too unless it syncs up with Google Maps, that would surprise me and if the compass could be set up as a screensaver or wallpaper for the background. Until then this is a total rip off and I fully regret it!
Thought it was something truly impressive and extraordinary. My bad!! 😞Show lessjcruz-bautista
This is the one
The ONLY thing that’s a drawback about this app is that if you’re truly out in the middle of nowhere without internet service, the map overlay won’t work.
But that is not Spyglass’ fault, and everything else here is *superb*. This is a professional-grade compass, and then some. Sextant, inclinometer, rangefinder, and other goodies.
Oh, and the maps issue? You can download offline ones if you plan ahead. Highly recommended.Show lessLarsOlsson
App to have
Bit of a learning curve but not too daunting. Sweet to have this level of functionality right in your pocket. Can’t wait to see what future options and upgrades bring us. You know the developers are not done maxing out this app.Velkommen
Photos not working
I used to be able to take a photo of something with the data overlay on the photo. I am now unable to do that. All I can do is take a photo of the satellite view of my location.dontwantyourreview
Everything a good compass can do but…
It lacks a direction of travel line and an orienteering arrow. You can certainly shoot an azimuth by setting a way point, and can see direction of travel once you start moving but…
It would be nice to be able line up the direction of travel, the needle, and orienteering arrow; then two finger turn the bezel to say 10°, turn your body until the needle is inside the orienteering window and walk following the direction of travel line. Should be an easy UI update.
It also lacks a ruler, which I imagine is harder to implement with all the different screen sized (or need to calibrate it) and wouldn’t be easily used with a paper map (and not needed for a digital map).
This is a full featured compass that makes use of all the phone sensor data and map data and nicely integrates gps, gyros, and accelerometers. it even emulates a site glass when you hold the phone 90° and “look” through the phone screen.Show lessAS701

WOW ) Thank you for the warm reply and detailed suggestions. I'll add the direction of travel line/mark on the bezel with the soon coming update. Took a while for it to come to me as I rarely read comments. Messaging directly via the support button in the app would work a way faster :]
