### 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

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Bad spelling. Title of app is wrong

*2020-10-12*

When I look at this app in my location services app listing it shows GPScompass wheather not weather. Very unprofessional. Why have such a long name listed? You’d think the programmer would’ve fixed that by now. App also is flaky.

### 4/5 — Really cool but weather needs work

*2020-02-20*

I really like this app- it’s design and visuals are awesome. I want to use this app as my go to app for backpacking and hiking. I love checking my elevation when hiking up mountains. I love the weather info but my barometric pressure reading is wrong as inHg. This is unfortunate because this feature being accurate would make this my ONLY outdoor tool I’d need.

### 4/5 — A beauty, functional and usefull

*2019-11-24*

And it works on my iphone xe. That is the first one which does, and I tried at least 15 others
Ill give you 5 stars when my True North function starts working. But that is i minor problem.

### 3/5 — Deutsch?

*2019-09-30*

Angekündigt ist deutsche Sprache, die App kann aber nur englisch.

### 3/5 — Need to view horizontally

*2019-01-03*

This app would be PERFECT if it would work with the iPad in a horizontal position. My iPad mounts horizontally in my vehicle.

### 2/5 — About 90 degrees off

*2018-02-15*

For some reason this app reads about 90 degrees from what several other apps and my lensatic compass indicates. ??

### 2/5 — Altitude

*2018-01-09*

Altitude is not right, off at least 10 feet

### 1/5 — Annoying Ads

*2017-08-13, version 2.9*

The pop up full-screen ads are extremely annoying and too frequent.  The compass is off about 5° but that could be the sensor.  The app has nice features but the frequency of pop up ads kills it for me.

### 1/5 — UNRELIABLE!!!!!

*2017-08-03, version 2.9*

I don't know if the two previous reviewers just don't know how to use a compass or what but this compass can't make up its mind where north is. I got this app because of the multitude of features but if it can't determine where north is it's worthless.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Backwards

*2023-06-08*

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

### 1/5 — Magnetic / True North

*2022-08-29, version 4.9.7*

The magnetic and true north are in oposite direction.

### 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 !

### 1/5 — Last update added ads and bugs.

*2020-09-17*

I’ve had this great app for a few years now and it has been great. The latest update ruined the experience. Every time I launch the app, an intrusive ad takes over the screen. A new bug now will not allow the user to opt out of ads nor restore the app. Support is nonexistent, hate to see a previously good app turn into garbage. I’ll be removing it from my phone.  Too bad.....

### 1/5 — Latest update broke the magnetic declination

*2020-09-02*

Specifically purchased fir determining true north. Previous version performed well. Latest update has a sign error in the declination so true north is displayed opposite to its actual location relative to magnetic north.

### 1/5 — 建议尽快更新

*2020-07-06*

更新后无法使用，一直卡在初始界面且闪退

### 1/5 — Bugs from the latest bug fix

*2018-02-17*

I've been using this app for years in my driving, and normally don't rate apps. Unfortunately something has happened and it needs some attention. The speedometer no longer tracks, it picks one speed when synchronizing with the sats then stays at one speed. Please have a look and fix this so I can raise my rating to where it belongs. Otherwise it's a great tool.

### 1/5 — Komplett in Englisch

*2018-01-22*

Fahrenheit usw... 
macht keinen Sinn auf dem deutschen Markt

### 1/5 — Compass is 180 out

*2017-08-25, version 3.0*

Ok so I work in aviation and having a compass that is somewhat accurate is important.  We just happened to be doing a compass swing and had a calibrated master compass.  I opened the app and right off the bat.....it's reading south at 180'.  This is funny because I was pointed north 0'.  There needs to be a way to readjust the heading/compass.  I didn't give it 1 star because the other features are nice.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Tops for survival

*2017-11-17*

Perfect compass, magnetic North and true. Latitude and Longitude, three ways. Altimeter, two ways. GPS map, two ways. Weather. Flashlight. What the tech else you need to survive in the high country? (Including the PCT). Backup external battery? Yup, that, warm clothing, matches, and a bunch of beef jerky and dried apricots and you’re in like Flynn.

### 5/5 — The best for free

*2017-09-29*

Good job! I like it. Best results are available when GSM and internet geolocation are on. Was tested on iPhone 7

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2017-09-12*

All in one

### 5/5 — Cool

*2017-09-02*

### 5/5 — GPS and Weather

*2017-07-30*

I like this one quite a bit. Simple, easy to use and it provides lots of information. I hope you will give this app a try. I wasn't actually looking for this type of app, but I am glad that I found it.

### 5/5 — If you are in the trunk, this is your app

*2017-04-26, version 2.8.4*

Quality compass, GPS, and weather.  Easy access flash light button.  Just a cool app in general.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-11-29, version 2.1*

My second review bugs fixed, working great i purchased it long ago and its awesome! Developer if you could make a dark black and bright green skin it would be even better😁

Update Nov 29 2016 last update screwed the pooch, North is now 140 degrees South East????
