Ratings and reviews

This a great app but development seems to have stopped with a dialog warning for early versions of android. I had to get a refund. Developers other app (still be developed) are excellent. Maybe some of this apps features could make there way into it.

Love this app it is accurate and more importantly gives instant back bearings, missing on other compass apps I have tried. Other features giving bearings and times are very useful, I don't praise an app unless it fulfills my criteria and this does that extremely well, I instantly purchased the full app. No regrets

After paying what they asked i go to settings and it says this app was built for a older version of android or some such thing I have a note 10 Verizon hasn't changed the OS in quit a while I'm not sure what to make of it i guess I'm out some cash
