Ratings and reviews

It's a good start. making it easier to switch between Totems is a must. I'm not sure if maybe Android has a limit on requests, but it feels like the app crashes or times out a lot. force close the app and wait a few minutes before you can try again. Living on Long Island I was shocked to only see 1-2 satellite connections. Remaining connected was another issue.

it won't find any of my totems. I even updated the firmware the manual way on all of them to the latest. (update) updated to the 3.8.3 firmware now which let's me connect to the app. but so much is not functional. nothing mirrors my totem, does not show bonds, no way to change colors like the email stated. the word begin is spelled wrong. it does show the satellites connected. and the battery amount, with an accuracy of 0.9 meters under 15 satellites.

App is unusable in its current state. I can connect to a compass. Unfortunately, none of what I assume are supposed to be buttons on the "Your Compasses" screen are tappable, so the moment I disconnect from my one compass, it's impossible to reconnect to it again. In order to connect to other compasses, the first compass needs to be completely disconnected because I can only pair through the "Scan for Nearby Totems" button. I can't tap on the "+," I can't tap on previously paired compasses.
