User reviews

Magnetic or True?

Great app. I use it often. Unfortunately there is no indication as to whether the bearing and course fields are relative to true or magnetic north. There is also no option to choose.

NOT on Apple Watch NO OFF

I purchased because it says works on Apple Watch BUT it doesn’t appear to AND it says make sure you turn off or you will keep using data But there is no off button and you have to turn off at settings and turn off map location services and turn off Bluetooth

Waste of time

I could never get the bearing function to work. I was looking for an app that would give me distance and bearing to a point. This isn’t it.

Great app

I've been using this app for a few years and it's great to be able to see all available GPS data on the device. One improvement would be the addition of the GPS time as it can be different to the device time by quite a few seconds.

Needs work

Still does not work with Apple Watch 2
