Ratings and reviews

I mainly use the Compass app (now) when setting up my portable satellite dish when I go RVing. (It sits on a stand while using and stores away when I'm done.) The app works well if you have a cell signal, even a weak one, to operate. I've played with it when hiking but I stick to marked trails, so I'm not really orienteering. It's a good app.

As a compass, it's annoying. Within seconds of starting the app there was a video ad running with sound, and there is no way to turn these off. Other compasses offer a more pleasant experience, and work as well. It is most useful for its list of phone sensor information. But that information is available elsewhere. Its reading of how accurate the magnetometer is is not completely accurate, similar to Google Maps. Buy a $2 pocket compass at the store IRL, and avoid being slammed with ads!

I have been having trouble with accuracy lately. It seems to be off by almost 90°, where North is where West used to be. The app suggests calibration, and shows it to be highly accurate in all aspects, except it's 90°off. It lacks a means of contacting the developer, so I suppose I'll have to contact my cell phone provider. I'm looking forward to this getting resolved, as the app has usually been balls on accurate. (it's an industry term! 😉)
