User Reviews

Users praise Compass mini for its clean UI, ad-free experience, and strong compass functionality as a replacement for the built-in compass. The app also offers clear altitude and barometric readings with minimal clutter. Common complaints involve missing compass widgets for the Home Screen, occasional altitude inaccuracies, and an unclear calibration workflow. Some reviews note limited or delayed watchOS support. Overall, it’s popular for its simplicity and reliability, with requests for more widgets and improved calibration.

Pros

Clean, simple and attractive user interface.
Ad-free experience with no interruptions.
Excellent compass functionality that serves as a strong replacement for the built-in iPhone compass.
Clear altitude and barometric pressure readings with minimal clutter.
Helpful, responsive developer praised by users.

Cons

Lack of a compass widget on the Home Screen; widgets only show altitude/pressure.
Altitude readings can be inaccurate (e.g., reported as 400+ meters in some locations).
Calibration flow is unclear and can be frustrating; the red calibrate button is not intuitive and GPS calibration options are requested.
WatchOS support is missing or delayed, limiting use on Apple Watch.
Demand for additional widget options or features not currently available.

Hey, can you be more specific about how to move the phone in a figure-8? Like held parallel to the ground? Vertically? I can’t get the “calibrate!” Red button to go away (Also, can you have it calibrate to gps perhaps with a button?) Otherwise I have to ask for my money back, but I like the app otherwise, it just needs to be able to be calibrated
