### 1/5 — It's Backwards!

*2026-03-22*

Don't trust this one if you're lost. It is literally backwards to other compass apps, normal compasses and Google Maps.

### 1/5 — It simply does not work

*2026-01-08*

Can’t get anything from this app the compass is frozen

### 1/5 — Does not work on my iPad

*2025-10-28, version 1.0.9*

Does not work on my iPad

### 1/5 — Poster for north south east west

*2025-05-28*

It was not real for east I had to ask ChatGPT

### 1/5 — not accurate

*2024-09-10, version 1.0.9*

Not accurate, vehicle gps and another app say same thing just not the same as this app. Difference is variable as well.

### 1/5 — Reliability

*2024-05-16*

With this app at times actually quite a few times it is not accurate at times gives true north and then magnetic north I have found it not at all. Totally reliable. Could you please let me know which one it is? Is it true? North or magnetic North? because I do get two different outcomes at times..

### 1/5 — Adds adds and adds

*2024-01-27*

For each setting selection one forced add to watch. Unable to enjoy the app. Deleting it

### 1/5 — Bei mir ohne Funktion!

*2022-07-25*

Unbrauchbar, da keine Funktion.

**Developer response:** Sie können in den Einstellungen auswählen, dass Höhe und Adresse angezeigt werden.

### 1/5 — Horrível

*2022-07-20*

O App não funciona, apontou o norte errado e fez eu me perder, muito ruim.

**Developer response:** Você pode usar errado, a parte superior do seu telefone é a direção para frente, a agulha sempre aponta para o norte magnético (se você não estiver ativado o norte verdadeiro nas configurações do aplicativo) e a parte superior é o grau e o nome da direção.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2021-05-13*

I had to remove the app as it did not work.

**Developer response:** You can try to update the app and reboot your phone.
