Peccato funzioni solo su iPad. Su iPhone non si apre neppure (iPhone 12 con iOS 15.6.1) ### 3/5 — Mixed review *2021-08-02, version 1.1.0* Just installed the app and upgraded to pro. Seems to be pretty cool. Nice screens for compass and other measurements. Tried to leave a review fir the app, using the in-app feature. Took me to a screen indicating that the app was not available in my country. (Insert eye-roll here.) Tried to change the units for the barometer using the apps settings. Takes me to my iPhone desktop. Hoping the rest is reliable. ### 1/5 — Really? *2020-11-03, version 1.1.0* Should have read reviews first. Two years and the app still crashes when changing units? ### 2/5 — Half the stuff doesn’t work even on the pro version . *2020-07-26, version 1.1.0* Dissatisfied that the app crashes every time you change units and doesn’t change units. There are lots of options out there choose wisely ### 1/5 — Djr *2020-07-12, version 1.1.0* Just downloaded this app using iOS 13.5.1 iPhone 11 max will not open I wouldn’t even give it one star ### 2/5 — Accuracy *2020-05-09, version 1.1.0* Highly inaccurate. ### 1/5 — Crashes on opening. *2020-04-22, version 1.1.0* This looks like it would be a good app, if it would ever work! Has always crashed immediately upon opening from the day I bought it. I wish it would be fixed. ### 1/5 — Changing Units *2020-03-02, version 1.1.0* App crashes every time I try to change the units for altitude and barometer. ### 5/5 — Compass *2020-02-22, version 1.1.0* Keeps me going in the right direction in my life. ### 5/5 — Very good *2020-02-22, version 1.1.0* Helped me find my way out of the intersection ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It won’t launch! *2025-06-25, version 1.1.0* It is hard to review an app when you can’t open it! ### 1/5 — А приложение совсем не открывается даже! *2024-11-29, version 1.1.0* В мусор🚮такую разработку! ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-03-30, version 1.1.0* This app does not work at all… total scam ### 1/5 — Does not work *2022-12-08, version 1.1.0* 15.6.1 iOS does not work ### 1/5 — Very incorrect. *2022-09-15, version 1.1.0* Apparently affected by anything in or near a home. Really screwed up installing a beam. Now it has ad that blocks view non stop ### 1/5 — No updates *2022-08-15, version 1.1.0* Does not work on the new iPhones. I paid for pro and it crashes as soon as you open the app. There have not been any updates on the app either. ### 1/5 — Broken App *2022-05-14, version 1.1.0* Downloaded on iPhone 12 but app will not open. I select to only allow app to use my location when open. When I did that the app closed and will not stay open. ### 1/5 — Does not work! *2021-08-22, version 1.1.0* When I open on my iPhone, it immediately shuts down. Cannot be used. Removed. ### 1/5 — Poor *2021-08-05, version 1.1.0* Does not load properly. ### 1/5 — No true north *2021-01-24, version 1.1.0* Crashed app several times trying to change a few settings and couldn’t find a true north setting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Enjoying it *2025-06-23, version 1.1.0* Great for my fishing trips . ### 5/5 — GPS *2023-03-25, version 1.1.0* Very good for traveling ### 5/5 — It’s a compass *2023-03-06* It does compass things so you don’t get lost. ### 5/5 — The best *2021-11-18, version 1.1.0* This the best compass I have used ### 5/5 — Remarkably consistent *2021-07-06, version 1.1.0* This is by far my favorite app for compass directions. It is remarkably consistent whether or not I am outside or indoors. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-10-14, version 1.1.0* Appears accurate and has several additional features. ### 5/5 — North is wrong *2020-08-16, version 1.1.0* How do I calibrate the compass to show North???? At the moment it is reversed and showing south instead. Not much use for navigation and I have even paid for an upgrade!!! I have upgraded my review to 5 stars because the calibration fault was not with the app but with the fact my iPhone case had a magnetic closing. Took the phone out of the case and the app now works perfectly ### 5/5 — Compass user *2020-06-28, version 1.1.0* Best ever ### 5/5 — Been using it for a while. Works very nice. Really handy. Highly recommended *2020-05-15, version 1.1.0* Been ### 5/5 — Rate tge App *2020-04-27, version 1.1.0* Great App. Mostly reliable, and easy to navigate! Love it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
