## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2022-01-29, version 2.0.5*

The app is so far away from being accurate that it is laughable, since when does the sun rise in the North?

### 1/5 — Totally Useless

*2021-07-17*

What on earth does this actually do? oh I know nothing

**Developer response:** It is a compass. It shows the direction the four cardinal points irrespective of the orientation of your device.
It is free to download and there are no ads. You’re welcome.

### 1/5 — Orientation de pôle

*2017-10-25*

N'affiche pas bien le Nord

### 3/5 — Ne fonctionne que par intermittences.

*2019-10-17*

Ne fonctionne que par intermittences. Depuis la mise à jour en version de l’iOS 13 votre application refuse de s’ouvrir une fois sur deux. Une mise à jour de votre application devient nécessaire si vous voulez garder vos clients. Cordialement. MV.

### 4/5 — Dwayne

*2020-01-13, version 2.0.5*

Like the app. I am a Canadian wintering in Arizona. Assume app knows it is a Canadian cell phone and app is still in metric. Can I change to imperial?

### 4/5 — Nice Utility

*2017-04-09, version 1.0*

A very nice graphical representation of a compass. Would be a five star if I could lock the compass flat on screen.

### 5/5 — Not that bad

*2021-11-09*

Really not that bad.

The only thing I would like you guys to fix is the accessibility of it. I want to access it in all positions and not just only one

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and design proposal. I should have thought of that, that one day someone from down under would comment on its orientation 😁 It is a design choice, I hope you find it useful irrespective of its one-orientation.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2020-08-05, version 2.0.5*

This is exactly what I was looking for.

Augmented reality is a great feature.

Unfortunately my car vent augmented reality is not very picturesque.

Is it possible to embed a background photo in a future version?

Either dev native photo selection or user option to embed?

Cheers

### 5/5 — Very cool!

*2019-11-27, version 2.0.5*

Love the visual background from the camera.

### 5/5 — Hi

### 5/5 — Cool ar compass

*2018-02-19, version 2.0.1*

Accurate nice design thanks for the update its easy to use it’s a keeper.

### 5/5 — Works very well

*2018-02-15*

Thank you, that you’re listening to your customers 😊 last time I recommended it’s more useful if the camera is to turn off.. now you have done it 👍👍

**Developer response:** Hi hansjoern, new version is out, and your request has been granted :) — thanks for your review! I will update to a version with no camera in a few days, I realize there are not many - if any - floating compass apps in the App Store, and of course this app should have that option as well.

### 5/5 — Excellente ap

*2017-07-30*

Particulièrement combinaison boussole et camera
