User reviews

Wrong location from Sydney Australia

From Sydney Australia it only points to west. Qiblih should be north west of Sydney Australia.

Lovely and functional

This is a simple, attractive application that does what it says it does, functioning as a compass that points the shortest distance to Qiblih from your location. It also lets you choose between a small selection of different looks for the compass itself, which are attractive. It does not have as many features as Qiblah, and costs $1.00 more (they orient to different locations).
I wish it had been cheaper. I hope that more features might be added. As is, however, I use it and appreciate it.

Thanks!

Response from developer

The app use the compass of your iPhone to display the indication. And it works well.

Shortest path

I updated my review with five stars after being told it uses the short path algorithm.

Response from developer

The algorithm use the shortest path as it should. From Colorado this is NNE. You can check with a string on a globe.

Great app. I have a question.

Hi, your app is great, I love it. I'm hoping you can help me: I only get a circular, low res compass with an arrow that's hard to see. The image on the App Store shows this beautiful four-pointed arrow that I would love to have on the app. How do I get it? Reach me at jmenon [at] gmail [dot] com. I'd appreciate it.
