2023-10-29	Ca*****	I'm unsure about all phone compass apps, I magnetized a needle, put it through a cork & put it in a bowl of water. Placed it in the middle of the yard, moved it around to insure no electromagnetic interference. Found the app shows a 30° difference two other apps show the same. I did do the figure 8 calibration, then set the phone to airline and turned off the WIFI. Still a 30° off. Hmmm, I just compared this my property Plat it matches the needle, not the apps. Why is that?

2021-04-14	Ro*****	Simple and easy to use. The fact it doesn't need connection or service makes it great for areas that has none. I've been turned around a few times but it hasn't and guided me where I needed to get.

2020-09-26	Da*****	This simple compass app is one of the best in its class. I am using it from last 7 months and never had any issue with it. It is very easy to calibrate for more accurate results. Its a shame if someone still doesn't know how to properly calibrate their mobile device sensors for more accurate results ! And Thumb's up for those who skipped paid compass app for this 100% functional and accurate simple compass app ! :)
