The trial does not renew or charge automatically. A one-time in-app purchase permanently unlocks Full Version. There are no subscriptions. Customers who previously purchased the paid app automatically keep Full Version access and do not need to purchase it again. Network and privacy Core features such as heading, sensor altitude, and barometric pressure generally work offline. Nearby addresses, maps, in-app purchases, and purchase restoration require a network connection. The app contains no ads and does not collect personal data. Permissions • Location: GPS altitude, coordinates, speed, sunrise and sunset, maps, and addresses • Motion & Fitness: pressure and altimeter readings on supported devices • Camera and Photos: only when capturing and saving watermarked photos. Photo access is add-only; the app does not read your photo library. Device capabilities and readings may vary with hardware, system version, environment, and location signal. HDR watermarked photos require iPhone 12 or later with iOS 17 or later. The watermark camera is available on camera-equipped iPhones and iPads, with HDR features offered according to device capabilities.
