Ratings and reviews

Simple and effective. Used it on a 4-day backpack trip in Yosemite; it was very helpful. One feature request: it would be great if it showed the elevation difference (in addition to the distance) when you point at a saved Place. Thanks!

Just switched from iPhone to Android, was looking for simple Compass app (equivalent of iPhone app) that doesn't data farm and bombard with ads. This app does just that and I am okay to pay $1 for it. Nice job!!

App is clean snappy and simple in the best way. Definitely worth a dollar. it isn't a data farm like many other apps. I really like the features and they are very responsive. for the developer I was wondering if it would be too much trouble to add custom colors/themes as a future update? Either way thanks for the clean app.
