Works Great.

Ive used it many times and its accurate to within three degrees. Sounds like the guy above me didnt know how to use it.

Old Surveyor

Lock the screen orientation. It helps to lay iPad on a flat surface and then it is fairly accurate. I would not want to circumnavigate the earth with this app but it is Interesting. With an update it could prove fairly useful. Of course it will not be accurate if iPad held vertically as it would point in any direction.

Misleading

This looks pretty, and it works fine (at least, after I took my iPad out of its case, which has a magnetic clasp that confuses the magnetometer), but the background image doesnt rotate! So the needle points north in one (correct) direction, but the background says north is in a different direction!

inaccurate

the compass looks nice, but thats about it. the north on it can be anywhere between east and north, thats a 45 degrees margin of error!

Excellent compass and I really enjoy and use every day, the map of the world that shows so much close up terrestrial detail when zooming in on the daily hot spots around the world !!

Ads interfere with function

I turned it on and a pop up ad comes up. Delete

Great

Love the app

Make it flip

Not bad but make it flip with the device...

Nice app

Thanks

Accuracy

Its not accurate, the app developers need to test the program rigorously before releasing it. It could be a good program some day, I can just wish good luck for them.

Free version does NOT work

Review

Great app. Use it all the time.

Doesnt work

Sorry I would love to say this compass worked but it does not. I used on my iPad. We tried holding it flat and straight up and down. As I watched the sun set exactly on the horizon of the west this compass insisted we were facing SE. We calibrated 6 times getting a different direction every time. I would not go off into the woods or out in my boat with this compass.

Upgrade: now with more annoying ads

The title says it all. Its less accurate now and the needle constantly twitches by a few degrees. Aesthetics are one thing, but the purpose of a compass app is to be a compass, not an ad platform. The proper model is to have the free app maybe show an ad on startup but no constant nagging. That just gives the product a bad name. The customer can then buy upgrades if they want them.
