Great little app
First it didn’t but now it does.
Does what it says on the box
Digital bearing compass is excellent
No camera on I pad
Response from developer
If you do not have the lens covered, you have probably an old device which can not be used for augmented reality. You need an iPad Pro second generation or newer or an iPad Air 2017 or newer. Please ensure that you have given the permission to use the camera. Regards, T
Very unsatisfactory
So far so good
Response from developer
Thank you for the 5 stars. This is a good idea, I will definitely implement this...
Camera not visible on iPad Air 2
Response from developer
As I have written in the description, iPad Air 2 is not compatible to use AR technology because it does not have the required hardware. It should never have worked. And the minimum required iOS version is 13.0, the iPad Air 2 does not support iOS 13, so something is a bit strange...
Very nice navigation app.
Response from developer
Thank you...I am working on this and several other features..
Can’t see
Contacted the developer and no response. Very poor
Thomas
Thanks for reply
I am using iPhone 6+ on ver 12.4.4
It is not jailbroke
Regards Rob
Thomas
Thanks at least I know
Reason I downloaded as it say it runs on
my device
No intention of buying new phone so sadly I must ask for the refund🙁
Thank for taking time to explain
Regards
You sent a message on Apple using the same wording as used here then asked me same questions
Even though the app say iPhone + will run the app we know it will not
Please simply process the refund
It seems that the promise is hollow I have asked 3 times and all you can ask is my phone jailbroke
Please just do the refund
Thomas the App Store actually says “works on this device” nothing about what phone

Latest answer now here at the top, so you can read it more easily without scrolling: I wrote the minimum required device in the text which describes the app. It is there, I checked it. But it is a lot of text, maybe it is easy to miss. I will write it at a different place at the next update. However, if you request the refund, no harm is done... Dear User, I answer all contact requests, so it seems I have overseen yours. What device and which iOS version do you use ? Is your device jailbroken ? Regards, Thomas IPhone 6+ does not support AR technology because it does not have the required chip built in. If you do not plan to buy a new device in future, please request your money back. Sorry that you had this experience, I do not understand why you are able to download this app in the first place...that’s why I asked if it is jailbroken... Please read the text in the AppStore. It says, you need an iPhone 6s or 6s+ or any newer model. You have to rerquest the refund via the AppStore, I can’t do that of course. Regards, Thomas
Nettes Spielzeug...
Response from developer
Ok, werd ich überarbeiten. Head up displays in Flugzeugen haben oft grüne Schrift, denke da hat sich wer was dabei gedacht, ich werde es also auch probieren bei einem der nächsten updates. Danke für die Info.
GPS Positions
However, as I use Degrees Decimal Minutes (DDM) for all my GPS positions, is there any way of changing the screen display from Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS) to DDM please?
Response from developer
Thank you for using the app and thank you for the input. I will implement this in the next update.
Great app
Response from developer
Thank you ! I am glad to read that !
Cannot get camera to work
Response from developer
Dear User, IPhone 6+ does not support AR technology, please request a refund if you do not plan to get a new device in future. Sorry you had this experience. The requirements are described on my website and in the information of the App Store. Regards, Thomas
Ganz gut, aber ...
- die Buttons ‚Save Bearing‘ sprechen schlecht an. Ich muss oft Tippen. Stört beim Peilen
- Kamera-Zoom zur besseren Erkennung der zu peilenden Objekte
- Ausgabe der Koordinaten des Fix
- Angabe einer Einheit bei der Distanz zum Fix (bitte km wenn metrisch gewählt, ansonsten nm, in jedem Fall aber bitte angeben!
Response from developer
Danke für den Input. Ich werde die Punkte in kommenden Updates berücksichtigen.
Cannot see
Response from developer
Yes, you wrote this on facebook...I will try to make this better in one of the next updates.
Digital Bearing Compass
Using iPhone 5s and latest iOS
Response from developer
As I wrote to you in the email, iPhone 5s does not support augmented reality, only iPhone 7 upwards. You should not be able to download the app, most probably your device is jailbroken.
Not worth the cost
Response from developer
Never happened during testing and should not be possible. Which device and iOS version do you have ? Is it jailbroken ???
Calibration
Thank you for your reply, the app is working perfectly now and I have found it very useful. Well worth five stars.
Response from developer
Yes it can be calibrated. When iOS sees the need for it, a respective window will pop up. The deviation does not come from the app, the app takes the heading directly from the operating system. You should see the same heading on other apps which use the compass. There are many reasons for a wrong heading....the sensors are sometimes not completely correct and most often a magnetic field near the device is the reason. A magnetised cover for the device or the iPad keyboard for instanced make the compass unusable.
Could be really useful but doesn’t work.
a) In the App Store the information on your app says specifically that it is compatible with my device.
b) it also does not work on my iPad which is a recent model.
c) my device is running IOS 12.3.1 as I told you in my email.
d) you did not say in your email to me that the app required a particular chipset nor that it wouldn’t work on an iPhone 5s. What you said was, ‘This is very strange. I will try to find out if such a thing ever happened and is documented in the internet. I will keep you informed.’
I’m sorry if you are upset with my review but it is based upon fact and my experience. Your response is not an accurate reflection of my experience nor of our exchange of emails.
Response from developer
Dear user, the app does work perfectly. As I wrote in the description , the app uses AR technology which requires iOS 11 and a special chip which is included only in modern devices. You wrote you have an iPhone 5 which is not AR capable. However, this is the reason why refunds are possible, but please read the description of an app before downloading it and giving bad reviews. Update to the new review text: Here you can check the compatibility of your devices: https://www.redmondpie.com/ios-11-arkit-compatibility-check-if-your-device-is-compatible-with-apples-new-ar-platform/ And please check the settings of your devices. This app was downloaded many times by now and it runs on every device except yours. So chances are high that there is something wrong with your devices. Regards, Thomas Oswald
