### 3/5 — Does it need a in app purchase

*2025-08-14, version 1.48*

Like if this game would gust have a cost this would be better but why tel us after 3 minutes I get it is like 50 dollars life time but why 50 dollars life time I can see 25 dollars max 5 dollars min.

### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2025-01-22, version 1.48*

Looking north. It says S.W.

### 1/5 — Looks nice but has subscription.

*2024-07-10, version 1.48*

I’m willing to pay a one time fee if it’s reasonable but not $60 for a lifetime. I’m dang sure not going to pay $4 a week or $40 for a year. I hope the Developer comes to their senses and just puts a normal affordable one time purchase price on this app.

### 4/5 — NVM

*2024-04-22*

Why you have to be charged just to use this I would never use this never mind I realized that if told us that it was going to be charged in the information says in app purchase so I’ll forgive y’all should to yall should look at the information to know charged or not k guys so thank you developer for saying yes to it:) I rate a four but I’m sorry I won’t use it anyways

### 1/5 — Compass always showing wrong directions

*2024-04-05, version 1.48*

Compass always showing wrong directions

### 1/5 — Fake

*2024-03-19, version 1.48*

Worked once, then a few hours later it’s locked and asking for money!

### 1/5 — Overpriced and dishonest

*2024-03-12, version 1.48*

Don’t have your app be free to download and then charge to use it. Just be honest and say it costs a specific amount to use your app and let people decide whether they want to pay for it. It is basically the same as the iPhone Apple compass with a speedometer, but I can’t even try the speed feature since it did not alert me I would only be able to use the stupid app for about 1 minute before it would go to a screen asking me for money. Horrible.

### 1/5 — JC

*2024-01-21, version 1.48*

Not accurate at all.  Wasted my time to download

### 1/5 — Incorrect direction

*2023-12-06, version 1.48*

Is there a way to calibrate this app because the direction is completely off.

### 2/5 — Forces you to buy

*2023-10-22, version 1.48*

There is no reaction really, you have to buy the service to use it even though you get three days free to try it

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-05-25, version 1.43*

The description you put down, does not say anything about pricing. I thought you could at least try the app   first but you don’t even have that. people can download this thing and you can brag about that.

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2025-06-21, version 1.48*

!

### 1/5 — What a CON

*2025-03-27, version 1.48*

I downloaded the app within the last hour. I was able to use it once. After that It repeatedly wouldn’t allow me to use it without paying. A bunch of money grabbing so and so’s. I’m deleting it now.

### 1/5 — Can’t unsubscribe

*2025-03-21, version 1.48*

They want money… very difficult to unsubscribe

### 1/5 — Dishonest about price

*2025-02-25, version 1.48*

Downloaded the app. Said I wouldn’t be charged anything upfront to download. Almost instantly got charged $20.14. Don’t use this app! You also can’t remove subscription from your device!

### 1/5 — Worst ever

*2025-01-04, version 1.48*

It won’t let me download it and it is his purchase so I don’t know why one star not even one unfortunately I’m being nice and give you a one star you’re lucky you’ve got one star

### 1/5 — Immediately deleted unfortunately

*2024-12-27, version 1.48*

Download it, and initially, I was able to pull up the Compass. Was going to give it a try a little bit, see if we like this one more than some of the others. But, within just a few seconds, a page popped up requiring us to purchase for a week at four $4, or a year at $40, and there was nowhere to x out, or get back, or anything. I’m not going to spend $40 for something I can’t even try first…and it felt sneaky, so not interested in utilizing from someone who doesn’t let you know it’s only a “purchasable” product, until after downloading.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2024-09-23, version 1.48*

U can’t delete this app! It’s tracking everything u do, while u can’t even use it unless i subscribe & pay for it every mth. Completely frustrating & people should file suit for illegally spying on their customers!

### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-07-26, version 1.48*

Another frozen compass does nothing.

### 1/5 — No free version

*2024-07-19, version 1.48*

The interface is beautiful. And you get to enjoy it for a full 60 seconds before your forced to go pro at $40 a year. The pro screen is not dismissible and the app is completely non-functional once you’re free 60 seconds of demo is used up.

### 1/5 — liar

Best compass since boy scouts

### 5/5 — Easy accurate piece of cake

*2023-06-05, version 1.43*

Download fast. Accurate. Easy to use

### 5/5 — Best Compass for specific use.

*2023-05-21*

I have a couple other compass apps which provide loss of information that this app does not. 

However this is exactly what I need when I am driving and have my phone in my center console. With a simple glance I can check my heading which is all I need most of the time!

Other apps become so cluttered with information that they become useless (for me) in certain situations. 

Well done.

### 5/5 — Super bueno

*2023-03-27, version 1.37*

Se los recomiendo por si van a un lugar y no conocen como salir de ahi
