### 3/5 — German/Dutch question pops up

*2026-03-20, version 2.5*

App is what I’m looking for by question pops up in German or Dutch and needs me to choose one of two options. I’m in US. Build is 235.

### 3/5 — Won’t show What4Words location

*2026-01-29, version 2.5*

I have Compass Professional but it won’t show the What3Words location. What’s going on?

### 3/5 — Annoying ads.

*2025-08-26, version 2.5*

The ads are SO annoying! They interrupted me when I was trying to get the direction of where I was going and I couldn’t get out.

### 3/5 — Kompass pro

*2025-08-16*

Leider kann man in der App nicht nach Orten suchen.
Koordinaten von zB Google Maps lassen sich nicht übernehmen. Schade.

### 3/5 — Foreign language?

*2025-05-15, version 2.5*

I’ve checked all of my settings for English but every time I pull up the compass it reads German on the compass face.

### 1/5 — Not all English

*2025-05-05, version 2.5*

An option popped up in German. I don’t speak German nor live in Germany. Why did it come up in a foreign language in the US?  I couldn’t opt out. So until that bug is resolved, do not use this app.

### 4/5 — Barometric Pressure

*2025-04-26, version 2.5*

Pressure doesn’t work on iOS 18.4.1 for me .  The other widgets seem to be OK.

### 5/5 — I can’t find my beer🍺 .

*2025-03-28, version 2.5*

I wuz a ragging alcoholic, but tanks to this app I have been sober for 3 hours.  Thanks you alot 
Cumpis Guy 🥴”

### 4/5 — アプデで表示バグ？

*2025-03-26*

アプデで度数が漢数字で表示されます。 方角の表示は漢字、度数は通常の数字で表示してください。 アプリは全体的に使い勝手はとても良いです。

### 3/5 — Fehler…?

*2025-03-19*

Von wegen Keine Daten erfasst“. Erstmal dutzenden „Partnern“ Zugriff geben per default - keine Möglichkeit, alles abzulehnen. Direkt wieder gelöscht. Alten Fehler konnte bzw. Wollte ich nicht mehr testen: Wenn ich an einem eingegebenen Ziel vorbei fahre, sollte sich der „Kompass“ doch in der Zeigerichtung umdrehen, oder? Tut er aber nicht. 
Fehler in der Fallunterscheidung der Quadranten?
Ansonsten genau das, was ich suche. :-)

### 1/5 — Telemetry and data stealing

*2026-07-12, version 2.6*

One of the worst apps when is about telemetry and data collection. They made more money from selling your data to hundreds of vendors and parteners. Not even in the pro version it does not what it suppose to do without selling your data and making you every tine to accept this as a normal thing. Absoluty 0 star. Update after developer contacting me about upper review: And I have to add 3 more things: 1 the website does not have any digital form of contact such as phone or e-mail or a contact form. 2 on the App Store it says that it does not collect data but as soon as you open the app you are asked to confirm that you agree with hundreds of 3rd party vendor cookies which will follow you and track your actions even outside of this app. 3 I think not even the developer did not checked their apps, that review was it formed exactly on the pro version. I mean on this one. And as soon as you open the app you are asked to accept all those 3rd party cookies, so even if later, inside of the app may be (or not) an option to pay for a pro version without 3rd party cookies, just to reach that point you need to go through accepting those cookies, which make impossible to even have a paid version without tracking you everywhere just before to even be able to pay for it. So at that time will be pointless to even pay anymore since you are tracked and your info are stolen / collected and shared with I do not know who and for how long (very long time with very many 3rd party patenerd). So yes, when someone it says is not fair to leave some review like this just thing again about user experience and rebuild your app.

### 1/5 — Man sollte dran arbeiten!

*2026-05-25*

Einmal Koordinaten eingegeben, geht das ganze Programm nicht mehr! Man kann neue eingeben, werden aber nicht angezeigt. Stoppen der Navigation geht leider nicht, er zeigt immer das erste Ziel an. Also wenn es so los geht, würde ich keine Pro kaufen.

### 1/5 — Language options

*2026-03-15*

Please keep language option by default as English

### 1/5 — This is America.

*2025-12-15, version 2.5*

What‘s with the German?

### 1/5 — Dessus

*2025-11-13*

Cette appli ne fonctionne pas avec un iPad Air si vous avez une solution ?

### 1/5 — Accuracy

*2025-10-13, version 2.5*

About 30° off. No calibration control.

### 1/5 — 指南针

*2025-08-08*

指南针现在不显示数字现在变成大小写数
看上去很别扭，麻烦更新过来。

### 1/5 — Great app!!!!

*2025-07-28, version 2.5*

Great app! But I can’t seem to get (what three words) to work. And still non English pop ups.

### 1/5 — Might be good

*2025-07-27, version 2.5*

Didn't get a chance to even look at this app as it straight away came up with a selection box in German ,that I don't speak, then after randomly pressing on that to get rid of it the app went to a full screen add that had no way out except to close the app. So it might be a good app but who'd know?
Erased it in frustration.

### 1/5 — 残念

*2025-07-27*

基本的にはよいのだが、方位の度数が英数字ではなく何故か漢数字表示
改善の気配もないので課金する気にもなれない。

### 5/5 — Bester Kompass

Wunsch an die Entwickler:

### 5/5 — Great app
