  • Great app

    I used this app for years with no problems. Absolutely loved it. But i find alot of times its off by 180degrees now. Dtill helpfull but i constantly have to check it against a real compass
  • David, Land and Hay Co

    We use the compass to lay out haying machine passed and elevation to determine drainage of water on crops. App works great, handy when ever we need it from the iPhone.
  • Top-notch Navigational Tool

    Very rarely do I rate 5 stars. This app has earned it! This is from a Soldier of 22+ years, and I wish I had this kind of app technology many years ago. Great job guys. Highly recommended.
  • App is way wrong

    Using this in Honolulu at sunrise, lat & long. is correct but the app, when one aligns the compass to N shows sun coming up from the West! Compass app that comes with the iPhone is correct. Guess which I’ll be using?
  • Cool C programming

    One cool advance app that’s very useful for night time navigating, thank you.
  • Used on the Pacific Ocean

    Used this app to navigate to and from Avalon / Long Beach. It worked great. Best navigation app. It’s so easy to setup locations and then select them for navigation.
  • Responsive developer

    This is a powerful app with a whole book dedicated to its capabilities.

    Trying to use this app to save a position then guide you back is not reliable. It will often point you in a direction that is inaccurate by 180°. Recommend, but beware of its inaccuracy if you're relying on it for more than curiosity and amusement.

    Usually the compass accuracy is fine outdoors and only a basic figure 8 motion is enough to calibrate it. However, in buildings and vehicles the accuracy can be low due to interference, magnets, big metallic objects and so on. Being aware of that I designed the app in a way to overcome hardware accuracy issues. First, you can always verify the direction accuracy against a celestial object such as the Sun, the Moon or a star. Second, there are several compass modes available, including special: 1) (pure) magnetic - copies iOS stock compass and shows what the hardware tells; 2) (uncalibrated) gyrocompass - a gyroscope assisted magnetic mode (recommended as default); 3) calibrated gyrocompass - to measure or to take direction; 4) car - GPS compass mode that uses the movement course for use in vehicles or while walking. Watch videos our the app web site - they show how it works.
  • Great App

    It does way more than I know what to do with. I use it for deer hunting to find spots I’ve tagged deep in the woods. These spots are not easy to find without this app as the terrain changes from year to year due to clear cutting. This app always gets me where I need to go. I highly recommend.
  • needs an easier delete button

    I’m still looking for a delete or remove function to get rid of points or locations I don’t need anymore.
    Having to sift thru useless points to find important ones can take time,
    so an easy Remove/Delete Waypoint/Location
    feature would be highly beneficial.

    Developer Response

    The UI redesign is planned for the 2018 and will bring much of usability improvements. Until then you can use the "pencil" button at the bottom of the waypoint list for easier deletion of waypoints.
