No data sharing with Watch App
Compass looks good and seems to function well as a compass. But I was expecting to be able to view and edit the waypoints I saved in the Watch App on my iPhone since both apps have the same name from the same developer. Was let down.
Accuracy
Every time I place it on the same fixed edge I get a different direction. Not accurate at all . Same problem I have with the one that was on my phone . Am I missing something?
Garbage
Wildly inaccurate. Use this app at your own risk but take a real compass with you. I want my money back
Won’t Display True North
The app won’t display true north. It just states NA (not available) in the true north slot. And it doesn’t show why it’s NA, or what to adjust to get it to show true north. Having true north is the only reason I downloaded this app.
Does not point to magnetic north
Shows pointing east not accurate at all. Waste of money
Compass way off
Compass is 60 degrees off Polaris in Central Ontario. No interference around in cottage country. Other compass apps and stargazing apps work flawlessly. Interface feels dated.
Point North
Seldom does my location
Best compass for the iPhone
This is one of the best compasses available for the iPhone, I really like that shows true and magnetic north at the same time. 5 stars well deserved.
Excellent app - corrects for declination
Exactly what I needfor bushwalking - a compass app that shows magnetic north AND true North together, and automatically applies the magnetic deviation based on GPS location.
Plus it reads out GPS coords and altitude, all on the same compact display.

Basically this is not a compass.
First no magnetic north. Secondly I cannot input bearing’s. Third I cannot plan a route. 4/5 star rating I don’t think so.
Buyer’s best choice
My former app was dropped by Apple; uploaded this today and I’m in love. Bravo, Craig. Well done!
Bought the bundle on strength of Theodolite
Downloaded the free version of Theodolite and have been so impressed and facinated with it that I was just back on the appstore and saw the offer to buy the bundle of Craig's apps.
Viewed what was on offer and even though the weather app was USA only and I live in the UK I bought the lot. For less than the price of a couple of beers I am going to have hours of fun. I didn't hesitate after reading all the positive reviews of others who are using it professionally - scientific instruments are just a hobby for me (and I now have both a real vintage 100% optical theodolite and a virtual one in my pocket ).

Magnetic dec
Prior review (smellieboy) is not correct / fair. The Mag dec varies across NZ. Absolutely correct for my location.
Seperately, this app very neatly solves the issue with the built in iSO compass - in that the built in one foes not show if it is reading True or Mg.

Emergency Location Within 10Meters Using UTM-B
I use Compass and Theodite from this developer and am very satisfied going on about 5 years now. Recently I have been encouraging my loved ones to place Pro Compass App on the first page of their iPhone with settings on UTM-B. Now if they have an emergency in today’s unstable environment, they can dial 911 and read the UTM-B number when they don’t know exactly where they are at. Especially import for our most vulnerable family members.

Excellent
These Hunter Research apps are quite useful, easy to use and offer terrific utility for anyone who works or plays outdoors. In-app purchases add utility and are well worth the modest expense.(This comment revised to excise remarks about in-app purchases not transferring across devices. See developer statement nearby.)

A brilliant navigation app
I have been using this compass for a few years now, and highly recommend it. Full featured and easy to use. An attractive interface. I especially like having the range of datums available for use when travelling. And the developer is fast and helpful in responding to any questions.
Really like but...
I love these apps. Used them for years for rough estimates; however, I wish the margin of errors were smaller. In the compass it is obvious that the margin of error is very conservative, but still would prefer them to be smaller. I would suggest these apps to anyone though.
Go-to apps for me
Well built tools. Buy the bundle.

How do I get rid of it
Great app. Meh icon changes.
Love the app (as ever) but I miss the old icon/logo. The old one was much more in keeping with the app. (Love the Theodolite icon – please don’t change that one).
