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.

Nefunkční

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

Compass is not showing any direction

It’s stopped working and stopped showing directions

Stopped working

Won’t even calibrate won’t show direction, just won’t work.

For Safety

If you don’t know where you are, the coordinates on this app and maps.

Best app

My dumbahh doesn’t know directions (even though I’m 16, I get confused by left and right 😔) this app helps me so much

Good directions

It’s as good as eating dinner with tom pearl

TOTALLY OFF!

This app has been incorrect for about a month. The direction is TOTALLY OFF! Someone would get lost using this thing!!

Very good-but

It would be even better if we could change the grid references to British grid.

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t work. Tried many times.

Can’t use true north

☆☆☆☆☆

Apple’s Compass app is unbelievable. Turn “Use True North” on and the compass freezes or stops working. Turn it back off and it immediately works again. That completely defeats the purpose of having a True North option in the first place.

What’s even more frustrating is that App Store reviews show people have been reporting this exact problem for years, yet Apple still hasn’t fixed it. A compass that can’t reliably switch between magnetic north and true north isn’t much of a compass.

If you’re hiking, camping, navigating, or trying to do something as simple as aim solar panels accurately, this bug makes the feature essentially useless. Apple should either fix it or remove the option instead of leaving users to discover it doesn’t work.

Doesn’t work with iPhone 17

The compass doesn’t work for iPhone 17. Facing North and it shows facing West. It’s out 90 degrees.

There are 360* not 0

When I go directly north it says 0* but it’s 360* so I would like to complain that it is wrong

True Heading Wrong calc

Aplicativo calcula o heading verdadeiro de forma errada considerando os sinais e não considerando se a declinação está para W ou E.
