Great simple UI (super rare for sailing apps). Only complaint is I can’t seem to add lines to the planned route, only points

by D *****, 2026-06-19

I started the app with my tablet in landscape, and couldn’t understand why the compass heading was way off. Bringing my iPhone with a compass app open, near the tablet, caused the iPhone to become erratic as well. I finally discovered that if I rotated the tablet so the charge port was down, the compass heading approached accuracy; with my phone compass confused, I’m assuming this app was close enough. (I’m in my RV, not sure how close to true North I’m facing.) As I rotate the iPad, Sailing Instruments’ compass went from 0 to 90 to 180 to 270 degrees off, depending on which edge was up. Very puzzling, and dangerous to me.
