Version History of Pro Compass

2.0.1

October 10, 2019

2.0.1 is a quick bug fix update to correct a graphics bug that caused a stray compass needle to be drawn on the ring instead of a full moon (Halloween werewolf bug?). In version 2.0, graphics have been touched up and modernized without changing the app's classic look and feel. New icon. Interface updates for iOS 13 and new devices. Sun and moon indicators added to the compass ring to match features in the new Pro Compass for Watch app. Seven new datums added to the datum pack.

1.2.1

March 13, 2015

This is a quick update to fix a graphics freezing problem caused by iOS 8.2.

1.2

October 21, 2014

Minor interface tweaks for iOS 7, iOS 8, and new devices. Change in UTM and MGRS coding to correct position calculations when using legacy datums (such as NAD-27) and ellipsoids (such as Clark 1866). Note that this enforces a ten-letter shift in the northing of new vs/ old MGRS 100,000 meter square IDs.

Price History of Pro Compass

Description of Pro Compass

Pro Compass replicates the look and feel of classic pocket compass hardware in use since the 1800s, adding modern features and technologies. The app uses advanced OpenGL graphics (normally reserved for games) to render 3D floating compass hardware for realistic operation. Pro Compass offers nine different compass modes with direct read, traditional, and rosette styles capable of displaying degrees, quads, or mils (the direct read mode shows a North-South needle and reversed East-West convention). In all display modes, Pro Compass shows both magnetic and true direction simultaneously, with a rotating outer true ring that is automatically adjusted for local magnetic declination. Sun and Moon position are marked on the compass rings and continually updated. Pro Compass displays location and altitude, with decimal, degree-minute-second, UTM, and MGRS position formats. An optional "Datum Pack" adds over 230 geodetic datums covering regions and countries on all continents around the world. The app also contains a built in two-axis inclinometer that drives two independent bubble levels and a bullseye level. The inclinometer has angle readout dials for each axis, making it useful for many different types of measurements including slopes, pitches, sight lines, and geological angles like dip and strike. After using Pro Compass, you'll see why it's the best and most realistic compass available on the App Store! Also be sure to check out the new Pro Compass for Watch, available for all Apple Watch models running watchOS 6 or later. ***** IMPORTANT ACCURACY NOTE ***** Pro Compass reports accuracy directly from the magnetometer sensor in your device. This accuracy is determined by the hardware, not the application itself. To improve results, operate Pro Compass away from any electronics or other sources of electro-magnetic interference, including car dashboards, aircraft cockpits, metal structures, and other devices. Please contact the developer via the support link if you need additional information about accuracy or operation of Pro Compass.

Reviews of Pro Compass

Leave a Review Pro Compass
  • Won’t Display True North

    The app won’t display true north. It just states NA (not available) in the true north slot. And it doesn’t show why it’s NA, or what to adjust to get it to show true north. Having true north is the only reason I downloaded this app.

    Developer Response

    This can happen for a couple reasons: 1) you have compass calibration turned off in iOS Settings (Privacy > Location Services > System Services) and/or 2) you denied permission for the app to use Location (also see iOS Settings > Privacy >Location Services). To display true bearing, the app needs both of these features to access magnetic declination.
  • Does not point to magnetic north

    Shows pointing east not accurate at all. Waste of money
  • Compass way off

    Compass is 60 degrees off Polaris in Central Ontario. No interference around in cottage country. Other compass apps and stargazing apps work flawlessly. Interface feels dated.
