Rudimentary tool

Needs to zoom camera.
Needs to allow font color change. White can’t be read in bright environments.
Needs to support elevation angle.
These things would make it perfect.

Only Does Landscape, Not Portrait

Portrait mode would be nice.

App crashes on IOS 13.1

App continually crashes on IOS 13.1. I deleted it and reloaded it; still crashes.

Response from developer

Thank you Yachtsman14580 for your feedbacks. CompassView has the new user interface design for the iOS 13, so don't forget to download the latest version.

Alignment option for better accuracy:

It would be good to add alignment option for better accuracy to target. If you are looking at a target, your phone may not be perpentdicular or straight up to the target. The target image can stay the same, with the phone may be swivelled with multiple positions, which can give multiple readings to the same target image. It would be nice to add some form of alightment, similar to car rearview camera where the lines curve if the car is not backing up straight....
