• On the first launch after a new install, Survey Compass gets to the camera HUD, with bearing and pitch overlaid, after less waiting. • Capture reading, A–B measure, the Log and the coordinate converter work just as they did. • Your saved readings and North reference setting carry over untouched.
MoreThank you for the kind words! Every reading you capture is already saved on the Log tab with its date and time, along with the bearing, angle and GPS position. The time stamp isn't part of the shared text yet; if that's what you need, let us know and we'll consider adding it.
Yes, Survey Compass contains advertisements.
Survey Compass is currently supported on iPhone devices.
Bearing and angle measurements rely on the phone's compass and motion sensors, while position comes from GPS. Nearby metal or power lines can affect compass readings. For critical measurements, confirm with professional equipment.
While the app can display some information offline, GPS-dependent features like coordinates require a GPS fix. Readings saved without a GPS fix will be marked as such.
Survey Compass has an age rating of 17+.
The latest version, 1.2.13, was released on November 5, 2026, indicating recent development activity.
Yes, you can estimate an object's height by marking two points (A and B), entering the horizontal distance, and using the measured angles.
Survey Compass is available for free.
