Not holding saved location
I just downloaded this app for remote area use in a very vast forest hunting area, but first I decided to test this on my property because getting lost and not able to find your vehicle is a very scary feeling!!! I put up a post holding it up in the air with a concrete block, I add the current location as taught by the videos, I walked 200 yards away, the app showed the post that it was on the ground in front of me on the ground when the post was 200 yards behind me. At first I thought I did something wrong, I tried it again marking the post area from the ground or to the tip of the post in the air. Still same result, I tried a different target which was my personal vehicle, this time I saw the marker to my truck literally glitch slowly moving to the east. I thought this app would help me get to my vehicle i mean it said off road, wilderness, but I guess they DIDNT MEAN OFFLINE! I was shocked that this app wasn’t dont what I thought it would. I’d like a developer to contact me, in the meantime I’ll be buying a map a REAL ALUMINUM COMPASS, and ranger beads!Show lessEmerald Knight85
Developer Response
please check location permissions in the iOS settings - you should allow "precise location" for the appWorth the price
The free app is so good that I bought Spyglass because the developer deserves to get paid for the tremendous work put into this application.Gallstone56
Does not work in iOS 14
Until now this app was fantastic. Now, the compas does not work at all. No change in settings.
Edit:
The app Is working again. Developer responded quickly. Thank you!TxAg1981

Spyglass App
Started playing with map and compass again after several years. Spyglass provide great info for current location and being able to take a screenshot is super fun. Way good. YoMikeBYoMikeB
Consistently does it’s job
This consistently allows me to take photos with location, direction, and time stamps. It is very useful for journaling in the field!grendol
One compass to rule them All
This is a powerful app without crass commercial distractions. It is a powerful navigational tool. Valuable to hikers, hunters, rock hounders, cyclists, automobile GPS, boaters, and any others who wish to use the most comprehensive compass based navigational tool for iOS.
Built in accurate calibration with celestial objects, moon, sun, and Polaris (viewed thru your device's camera) is in addition to the GPS compass toolset that other navigational apps use.
Great map overlays, satellite maps, and ability to share locations to other spyglass users. You can also share to users of tomtom , wayze, google maps, and other GPS and maps systems.
Very cool.
As long as you have battery life, you will never be lost with this app.
There is a learning curve. If you can read and comprehend on a 20th Century 7th grade level, then you can learn how to use Spyglass. Great videos and comprehensive manual. Use them to get the most out of the app.
I rarely leave reviews, but this app deserves its props and unabashed accolades. Bravo to the Spyglass team.
Top quality, the definitive compass and navigational tool. Buy it and be done in this genre of apps.Show lessSwan40
Unique & Handy
Spyglass has many unique and useful features setting it apart from other navigation tools. The use of virtual reality display, offline capability, and datum library add-on shows great potential. I am disappointed in the accuracy of the waypoint display compared to other VR apps like my star finder. Otherwise, I would use it in my search & rescue operations. I recommend that the developer build on this great concept and improve the accuracy.Show lessWell Illuminated
Godsend for my son
My 18yo son is visually impaired. This app helps him get around in new places, such as camping and mission trips. He’s headed to college in the fall and is already inputting locations to help him navigate campus. Thank you for improving his quality of life.techcreek
It could use updating for iPhone XR
The display notch in IPhone XR and others cuts off the top line displays of coordinates. Otherwise it a perfect app.DisappointedButNotSurprised
