Exactly what I wanted when confronted with a need to suddenly find the Christmas Star in a field, in the dark and rain. Does everything you expect from a compass and didn't have to spend 10 minutes (in a field, in the dark and rain) waving my arm in figure 8s to only achieve "moderate" accuracy and then be confronted with multiple options I didn't want. Lovely, will keep it installed.

A compass app that actually works like a real compass with no overcomplicated settings and no ads!! And yes you have to calibrate the compass every couple times you use it, but it only takes 30 seconds at most, and no compass app would be accurate without calibrating every couple of times if not every time you use it, considering all of the metals, magnets and electromagnetic fields that our phones get exposed to throughout the day.

The compass seems accurate and the app is definitely worth having on your phone , but I haven't used it for it's intended purpose. That being said if I was doing serious orienteering , I wouldn't depend on an electronic device that can , and eventually would , lose power. However the GPS coordinates being displayed could certainly be helpful in numerous scenarios , and would especially be helpful in the Backcountry.
