User reviews

Wrong direction

Compass won’t calibrate correctly even with phone case off and using calibration settings. Just a broken digital compass.

Doesn’t point north

This pod app is worse than Jack Sparrow’s compass…I deleted the app and reloaded it 3 times, never pointed to North in the same direction any of the times…junk

It lied

When I was following S to get to Santa Clauses I got to the South Pole you morans why did you put S if it doesn’t mean Santa Clauses so misleading

Off

I really wanted this compass App to work but the accuracy is concerning. I compared it directly against a traditional magnetic compass, and the app was reading almost 90° off . I understand that phone compasses can be affected by calibration, magnetic interference, cases, and the surrounding environment so I recalibrated and compared again… still a significant difference. Strongly recommend anyone using this for hiking or land navigation bring a magnetic compass with you just in case. If there’s an update and it gets fixed then I’ll come back and change my review.

Aplikace je úplně k ničemu. Jediná věc, k čemu by měla sloužit, selhala. Kompas se neotáčí.
