Pro compass for watch

I was recommended this app instead of the Apple compass app as it offered mils, which I was very happy with and seems to work great, when using the app, I noticed it also gave me a grid on the same screen… very happy, just a big shame the settings don’t offer BNG as an option for giving a grid reference, which unfortunately is my choice of language when reading maps, hope this can be added soon as it’s make the app perfect for what I need hope this helps, and helps improve the app for more users

Working well

A little difficult to install, however works well.

Go to the App Store on your Watch (not iPhone) and look in Account > Purchases. You can install the app from there if it did not install automatically after purchase. This is an independent Watch app and does not use the iPhone or iPhone App Store.

Rip off - you don't receive it

Paris for the app but never received it. Sent a message to Apple, they never responded.

App is nonexistent

I purchased the app. It is nowhere to be found on watch or phone. Apple, do not perpetuate a scam. Remove this from the store!

Great App — Great Support

I had some trouble getting the compass to move off North so I sent an email to developer Craig Hunter. He responded in less than 2 hours telling me what to do and sent another email to assure I had location services set correctly. I’m now enjoying using the compass to keep me oriented while wandering around. Very accurate and easy to use. Craig clearly cares for his app as well as his customers. 5 stars for customer support and 5 stars for the app! Paul P.

Great tool.

Great tool. I think an iPhone companion app for managing the waypoints would be useful since copy/pasting coordinates between iPhone and watch is imposible atm

Finally - waypoints on a map

I love the look of Apple's native compass app but the waypoint feature is useless. It doesn’t show the waypoints on a map. It’s unbelievable how silly that is.

This app fixes that issue and it works great.

My only complaint is that the UI isn’t as polished as I would like. But the functionality is perfect.

Can’t be download again from phone!

I had to unpair my watch. This app didn’t reinstall! Go to app store on iPhone to download and reinstall and it says purchased. Must be downloaded from your watch. Not intuitive at all.

It might seem more intuitive if you realized this is an independent Watch app that runs by itself on the Watch and doesn't use the iPhone for support. Only older companion apps tie into the iPhone (but a companion app is not suitable for use as a Watch compass). You'd see the same behavior if you had multiple iPhones or an iPad, or multiple Watches, where the App Store on one iPhone will not push apps to the other devices during a reinstall. Please send feedback to Apple if you feel the process could be better, since this is something they will need to address on their end. It is not something we control from the app. Apple will need to allow the iPhone App Store to reinstall independent apps on a Watch to match your expected behavior.

Great interface-could Suns Shadow Bearing be included

Love the design. And the fact that the Sun and Moon Azimuths are visible within the compass bezel. I use the Sun to orientate any compass and determine its magnetic error. However I would prefer for the Suns Shadow bearing to be shown as thats much safer to observe in practice. Any chance this could be incorporated as an option in the Settings. Sailors and hikers would appreciate this enhancement.

Full MGRS

Well done full MGRS in mils outstanding. The only other issue I need more than 5 waypoints. Great thanks for the update.

Great App - Best Compass ever!

The app is fantastic- the problem I was having was user error (on my part). When you actually read the instructions (which are well written and easy to follow) this app becomes the best Compass you’ll ever have. Well worth the cost. I highly recommend this.

This means you did not grant the app permission to use location services when it first launched. To correct this, open Settings on your iPhone, go to Privacy & Security > Location Services, and scroll down to "Pro Compass for Watch". Set the permission to "While Using". Contact us at hrtapps.com if you need further assistance.

GPS doesn’t work

I have rhe Ultra, the map in the app thinks I’m located somewhere off the coast of Africa. I’m in Boston. It’s not a problem with my Apple Watch Ultra: it’s the app. The map function, doesn’t work.

Nice app

Nice, works great. Inexpensive and no subscription. I got the bundle for my watch and wish I had it gotten for my phone also.

We’re is the app

Does not show up on my watch. It just says purchased , but we’re is it? Apple Watch Ultra

If you purchased it from your iPhone or iPad and don’t have your Watch set to automatically install apps purchased from other devices, then you will need to go on your Watch, open the Watch’s App Store app, scroll down and tap “Account”, then tap “Purchases”, then install the app on the Watch from there.

THE compass to use

This is a functional app that also looks great on your watch. It does so much more than the basic Apple compass. And the price is for purchase, not a subscription. There’s nothing not to like.
