### 2/5 — 自动安装

*2020-04-20*

安装的时候总是安装失败，取消安装后，每隔几天它又会自动出现在桌面，而且显示为灰色待下载状态。让人觉得很苦恼☹️

**Developer response:** 仅在App Store中使用该应用程序就不会出现问题

### 1/5 — Totaler Schwachsinn.

*2020-02-19*

Ist keinen Cent wert!

**Developer response:** Why?
What is the problem?

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-02-06*

The program does not open on the watch
Apple Watch Version 5.3.4
iOS version 12.4.5

**Developer response:** Try to restart your Watch.
If it does not help please send me message  by https://orion.lukaszgonerski.com/contact

### 1/5 — Nul

*2019-12-11*

Ne fonctionne pas .arnaque et le développeur ne semble pas se remettre en question.Que fait Apple?

**Developer response:** Qu'est-ce qui ne fonctionne pas exactement?

### 1/5 — No good on a cloudy day or at night

*2019-10-27*

If I knew where the sun was I could estimate where North was.

**Developer response:** People can do lots of thing without smartphones but sometimes it is easier to use tools :-)

### 4/5 — Easy to use, approximately accurate

*2019-09-24*

Best app for users who don't own the apple watch 5 or newer. Easy to use and approximately accurate.

### 1/5 — Du grand art…

*2019-09-17*

… que celui de faire payer pour une boussole à recalibrer à chaque usage et aux résultats très approximatifs (+- 60°). Sans aucun intérêt ! À éviter absolument !

**Developer response:** Le soleil et vous changez de position tout le temps, il est donc normal que vous deviez le calibrer. Ce n'est pas un compas magnétique, mais un compas solaire.

### 1/5 — Sans intérêt

*2018-08-17*

Surtout hors de prix. Je ne comprends pas que Apple laisse un produit sur gon store. Vraiment nul, approximatif, design horrible. Bref, passez votre chemin !

### 2/5 — 期待はずれ

*2018-06-24*

一度だけ動作させたがウォッチで指針がフリーズしてタップしてもダメ。設定の方法もなくアップデートも無ければ削除します。そのままにしていたらウォッチの中央部に表示せずに偏った位置で動きだしたがやはり使いものにならない。 

2018年6月アプリの改善されたと案内があり再度インストールしたが方角は正しい方向を示していない。山中では信用できないだろう。フリーズしないように改善された程度と思う。

**Developer response:** すべての問題が修正されました

### 1/5 — C'est nul

*2017-08-10*

Je regrette d'avoir payé pour avoir cette application,  je sais pas comment elle fonctionne

**Developer response:** Il suffit d'utiliser Digital Crown (sur votre Apple Watch) pour pointer le marqueur vers le soleil et l'application vous montre la direction du Nord.
