Review summary

Users praise the app as a versatile, all-in-one compass and navigation tool with a polished design and outdoor-use potential. However, repeated complaints focus on intrusive ads, unreliable weather data, inconsistent compass accuracy and calibration needs, occasional reliability issues after updates, and a contentious ad-removal pricing model. These pain points undermine otherwise strong functionality for hiking, aviation, and geolocation tasks.

Pros

All-in-one navigation tool combining compass, GPS, weather, altitude, and flashlight.
Attractive design with an easy-to-use interface.
Useful for outdoor activities (hiking, aviation) with elevation and GPS data.
Allows viewing GPS course and compass heading on a single screen.

Cons

Intrusive, full-screen ads with frequent interruptions and limited opt-out options.
Weather functionality often fails or is unreliable.
Compass/heading frequently inaccurate: wrong north readings, needles not moving, and calibration needed.
Reliability issues after updates and limited official support.
Ad-removal pricing model is unclear or perceived as costly.

2026-05-03	fl*****	I opened this app and an ad for Google Gemini popped up. I had to listen to the whole ad and was unable close it. I had to restart my phone to remove the ad. This happened twice so I deleted the app. I think it is garbage.

2024-10-08	Ma*****	As a new user of this remarkable app, I must express my appreciation for the beautifully designed aesthetic interface and the diverse array of options it presents. However, I have encountered a couple of areas that could benefit from some enhancements: - The weather tab appears to be malfunctioning and is no longer operational. - Additionally, incorporating a visual compass on the map would significantly enhance its usability and navigation experience.

2022-09-21	Ed*****	I am a ham operator. Sometimes we have to track down a signal. This app was perfect for the job. Because of this app we found the malicious signal in 45 minutes. It is great for elevation and GPS coordinates I use it all the time in my work and play.

2020-10-12	No*****	When I look at this app in my location services app listing it shows GPScompass wheather not weather. Very unprofessional. Why have such a long name listed? You’d think the programmer would’ve fixed that by now. App also is flaky.

2020-09-17	a1*****	I’ve had this great app for a few years now and it has been great. The latest update ruined the experience. Every time I launch the app, an intrusive ad takes over the screen. A new bug now will not allow the user to opt out of ads nor restore the app. Support is nonexistent, hate to see a previously good app turn into garbage. I’ll be removing it from my phone. Too bad.....

2020-09-02	Re*****	Specifically purchased fir determining true north. Previous version performed well. Latest update has a sign error in the declination so true north is displayed opposite to its actual location relative to magnetic north.

2020-02-20	Dd*****	I really like this app- it’s design and visuals are awesome. I want to use this app as my go to app for backpacking and hiking. I love checking my elevation when hiking up mountains. I love the weather info but my barometric pressure reading is wrong as inHg. This is unfortunate because this feature being accurate would make this my ONLY outdoor tool I’d need.
