User reviews

Works 4 me.

This app does exactly what I need it to do. I wish I had found it earlier. And even better it’s simple to operate.

How do I add a point

Good app and does what it promises

Great app, especially because my Apple Watch series 4 doesn’t have the native Apple compass. However, I wish that the app had a complication for an Apple Watch face so I could access it more easily. Please develop this!

Works well

Great job, works well and very useful. Would like to see a complication added for easy access from watch face.

Ok

A ok app, but open it once on your Apple Watch and it will not go away

Response from developer

Hello! Going back will stop navigation on the Apple Watch. You can do so by swiping right or by pressing on the title bar (top left).
