### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2026-05-22*

No sooner you open the app a few seconds later pops up an ad, there’s no way of getting rid of the ad, it doesn’t close after a few seconds, you have to close the app & open again to be once again bomarded with another ad you can’t get rid of

### 1/5 — Popup ads lock iPhone

*2026-05-03*

I opened this app and an ad for Google Gemini popped up. I had to listen to the whole ad and was unable close it. I had to restart my phone to remove the ad. This happened twice so I deleted the app. I think it is garbage.

### 4/5 — Good but need some improvement

*2024-10-08*

As a new user of this remarkable app, I must express my appreciation for the beautifully designed aesthetic interface and the diverse array of options it presents. However, I have encountered a couple of areas that could benefit from some enhancements: 

- The weather tab appears to be malfunctioning and is no longer operational.
- Additionally, incorporating a visual compass on the map would significantly enhance its usability and navigation experience.

### 1/5 — Backwards

*2023-06-08*

Compass is completely backwards…..where are instructions? I paid for no commercials!

### 5/5 — WOW. I LOVE THIS APP

*2022-09-21*

I am a ham operator. Sometimes we have to track down a signal. This app was perfect for the job. Because of this app we found the malicious signal in 45 minutes. It is great for elevation and GPS coordinates
I use it all the time in my work and play.

### 1/5 — Magnetic / True North

*2022-08-29, version 4.9.7*

The magnetic and true north are in oposite direction.

### 2/5 — No Speed!

*2022-08-27*

Nice but no speed available.

### 2/5 — Compass

*2022-08-13*

I just can’t believe the madness that goes on. I just opened it literary 3 seconds to see what its all about, and the ADDS started to come in. Buy buy.

### 1/5 — Don’t believe Free limited time!!

*2021-12-10*

1. Starts off $3.99 ad removal!
2. Weather doesn’t work!  Even though it pin point located you! 
3. Nice design if it works but why pay for something that doesn’t!  Delete !

### 3/5 — Some Bugs

*2020-10-31, version 4.9.1*

Nice app with some bugs. On Compass page there is a Barometric Pres. value. It is wrong with no chance to calibrate or choose source.
On Weather page units are imperial altough on Compass Metric was choosen.
