This app is intended to be used by magicians. It is the perfect addition to my Vision app (which does a optical character recognition of playing cards, which are layed out in a spread. With this new app a wide variety of new things will be possible. The collection will increase by time. This app can also be used by an accomplice, since the data can be received from a webserver. So the magician secretly analyses the spread and the accomplice has all the necessary information within seconds - whilst being far away. Features: Stack Manager: You can define and store any stacks, you use. These can be accessed from all different functions of the app. Monitor: Allows you to monitor the extracted data, which was sent to a webserver. Show missing card: Can be used as a peek-device Some Tricks Auto Pilot Lets you create a sequence of tricks, which you can perform automated one after the other! The collection will be updated and increased constantly in hope, that this will become a new era in card magic.

THEY NAME A NUMBER. Any bearing from 0 to 360. THEY CHOOSE A DIRECTION. They point anywhere they like and north obeys, the needle settling exactly where they wanted it to go and you land on the same number they named WHY PERFORMERS CARRY IT A 100% real, examinable compass total deniability Completely hands-off and selfworking your focus stays on them Instant reset, works anywhere, nothing to prepare Multiple reveal styles and triggers so it never looks the same twice Custom faces, backgrounds, and 9 languages Let them examine it all night. There's nothing to find. DirectionX. The needle never lies. Not for laymen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DirectionX at none against Vision's 3. Vision's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
