Commander Compass Go App Reviews

We use the compass to lay out haying machine passed and elevation to determine drainage of water on crops. App works great, handy when ever we need it from the iPhone.

Very rarely do I rate 5 stars. This app has earned it! This is from a Soldier of 22+ years, and I wish I had this kind of app technology many years ago. Great job guys. Highly recommended.

Using this in Honolulu at sunrise, lat & long. is correct but the app, when one aligns the compass to N shows sun coming up from the West! Compass app that comes with the iPhone is correct. Guess which I’ll be using?

Does not calibrate well for compass points. Even in an open field with nonmagnetic( or very minimal) it’s off by 180. User guide o help in this matter

I needed to know true North and this app nailed it

One cool advance app that’s very useful for night time navigating, thank you.

Works great except for altitude

Used this app to navigate to and from Avalon / Long Beach. It worked great. Best navigation app. It’s so easy to setup locations and then select them for navigation.

After uninstalling this Compass app, it persisted in the status bar. Specifically, I would see “Compass Commander Go” text appear in the top status bar of my iPad whenever I started any other app, like Safari, Voice, Maps, any app! Felt like CCGo was embedded as malware or spyware or keylogger. Very bad app or misbehaving iOS 11.2.latest. Did a hard shutdown and reboot. Gone now.

This is a powerful app with a whole book dedicated to its capabilities. Trying to use this app to save a position then guide you back is not reliable. It will often point you in a direction that is inaccurate by 180°. Recommend, but beware of its inaccuracy if you're relying on it for more than curiosity and amusement. iPhone X

The charge for features that should be free or paid by ad, it could have more features, and it’s not very accurate. 3 stars because it works but brings nothing new to table.

There’s a lot of stuff in this app. However, I can not get past verifying the compass reading. It must be that my hardware is sending the wrong data to the app because the reading are 30 degrees off. I have checked location services and verified it is calibrating. The app shows that it is not Calibrated but no amount of twisting helps. Would like a suggestion on what to do from the developer.

Never saw a compass that was off this bad.

I have really enjoyed the features of the previous versions, but the latest version has broken the compass. Please fix it soon!

Simple, locked off the west coast of Africa. Fix it.

Location services are always on. This app used more than 12 percent of my battery charge in the 14 hours after I installed it (8 hours were on my nightstand as I slept.) I have many apps that require location, but ONLY DURING use of the app. None are hogs. The iPhone compass also uses location ONLY while in use.

Why is this rated so highly? It thinks wherever I point my phone is north, even after I calibrated.

Excelente

Use it all the time. Is the best.

Nice aplication

The first time I opened this app, it presented me with a dialogue box pre-filled with the term "bifidobacterium longum". "Odd," I thought--until I realized it was a term I had recently searched for in Safari. If you're wondering why this app drains your battery, I think I may have stumbled upon the reason.

Has a lot of features, great to have this on iPhone

Awesome

Great app!! Works perfect. I use it on my atv trails. Gotta get this app. AWSOME APP!!

Good one: design & application!

Awesome!

An ok app

My phones battery life has been reduced to about half its normal stand by time because of this app. Turning off location data has not stopped it in the least DO NOT DOWNLOAD! i am getting a new phone because of of this stupid app.

Had this for a year and we find it vey helpful while traveling

This application is really useful when you need many accurate information about your location in the desert or on the mountains.

This app is great, I can use it any place to locate any direction. It is a great resource, plus it is free! Good work and thank you all.

Best App of it's kind.

Inacurate and a waste of time

What more can I say!

I am a US Army officer stationed in the middle of the desert. I often have to maneuver to 10-digit locations across dozens of kilometers. This app is amazing as it lets me use MGRS and the navigation is highly accurate. Great job!

Best in class of these kinda apps

Very useful and far easy to work with it!.

Great so far in its many features, intuitive and versatile but do not know how practical as I just earlier downloaded it on my IPad Mini 2 with an older iOS but seems to function OK !!

I used this app for years with no problems. Absolutely loved it. But i find alot of times its off by 180degrees now. Dtill helpfull but i constantly have to check it against a real compass

Good service so far

This is the best of the bunch, and it's free! Pavel has done a great job with this app. I am a 20-year Marine and wish I had had this app with me on many a walk.

This compass is seriously accurate and nice looking. Way better than any of the other compasses i've used. Accurate as can be.

This is a great app. Very accurate on everything and very easy to use.

Ideal for a backup navigation method.

We used commander compass on a recent photo trip to locate photo sites recommended by other persons who provided GPS coordinates. Great results accurate to several meters. The direction arrow and distance display were very useful. Questions about app behavior were promptly answered - great tech support. A very well thought out application. Whenever they have another special sale price, we will upgrade and get more of Pavel Ahafonau's applications.

My phone had a full charge before going to bed. There were no open apps on my phone as I always check. When I woke up. My battery was completely drained. After charging for a few minutes this app was open on my phone. The only explanation for this is spyware and someone got into my phone through this app. I immediately deleted this app... Beware!!!

App won't stay open with OS9

As Apple doesn't add any Compass application, I was wondering how to calibrate my iPad. I downloaded this app and was using it and suddenly noticed calibration dial. Rotated the dial to get it calibrated. I don't think it will show calibration dial if your iPad doesn't need calibration.

North is North it shouldn't say S when pointing North. True North should be North not an option.

This app is a great tool for navigation.

It is very good app.

I use this app all the time. I walk miles at a time through the woods in the dark with this app and it gets me there every time with or without cell signal.

Multi-functional, extremely useful, and intuitive. This is the best compass tool I have seen on a smart phone and has incredible response. Very impressed.

Good looking app, but keeps crashing on my 6Plus running iOS 9.

Use it @ work a lot shooting elevations to find water leaks. Great success!!

Really cool and helpful, honestly

I drive all day everyday. This tool is amazing. Map underlay is genius. As my phone is much smarter then my car (i.e. No navigation system) this program is brilliant. Well done folks!!

This is an app that shows great promise and is very useful, I enjoy the design as well. However it does not seem to be/remain accurate when I ping waypoints! It will show (when I ping my current location) as being, for example, 34 feet away. If it is a defect in the app, I would like it fixed, If there is a way to calibrate it I would like to be informed.

Very decent free no nag app. Only negative I seen is that it's function and navigation all rests on how you configure the compass when you first open app, so be careful to be standing on solid ground and rotate it with care and as precise as you can, the more mechanical you are in that stage which lasts maybe 20-30 seconds, the more accurate app performs... Other gripe is that you have to do every time you open app

I have used this numerous times worldwide Very reliable and informative Ping and post photos of locations frequently

Great app! Looking forward to being able to save coordinates of cool destinations then tracking them back down using the compass. I also like all the info it provides on one main screen so it's not a complicated ordeal to find out what you want to know

Very nice! Used Commander to set up my weather station It was very useful

This is one of those free lunches your father told you don't exist. Outstanding free app. Not crippled, non-intrusive promotion of developer's paid apps. Beautiful design. What more could you want? Makes your iPhone into a full featured stand-alone GPS receiver. Love it!

Much more than I expected; superb precision, and many excellent extras. Leaves the other App Store compasses FAR back in the dust!!!!

Tons of information and fairly easy to use once you spend some time with it. Bit of a learning curve as there are so many options but worth it. Large drain on battery and can have trouble on slower connections. Would be great to have presets for car, hiking, running, and such to simplify setup for new comers. Definitely worth learning.

This app is awesome and very accurate use it all the time for my work to plot targets on the move and call for fire

I love this app and use it when I am flying it tells me our altitude and airspeed. it's so cool

The best directional and locational tool available

Running on iPhone 6S, runs smooth with no freezing or issues. Great app with all the Nav aids you'll ever need! Runs GEO and MGRS grids, mapping of all types.

This is a great Application. I use it on a daily basis because of how easy it is to use and share locations with others. I would love to see integration of the apple watch. That would be amazing. Still a five star rating without the apple watch capability.

It does way more than I know what to do with. I use it for deer hunting to find spots I’ve tagged deep in the woods. These spots are not easy to find without this app as the terrain changes from year to year due to clear cutting. This app always gets me where I need to go. I highly recommend.

I’m still looking for a delete or remove function to get rid of points or locations I don’t need anymore. Having to sift thru useless points to find important ones can take time, so an easy Remove/Delete Waypoint/Location feature would be highly beneficial.

Extremely Slow to locate your correct location on map. Please fix the lagging problem.

Simply put, without getting too wordy.....the standard compass app the comes loaded onto every iPhone is way more accurate than this toy.

After a few years of playing with this, the compass still cannot find anywhere close to North. It points all over the 360 degrees.

OUTSTANDING!!

Setting don’t save changes Finger gestures do not work Always lose calibration Bad app

Doesn’t allow you to change colors in iPhone 6 or iPad Pro

This app will not even start until it demands payment for the upgrade-- and then goes to the app store so you can pay. A disgusting predatory bunch

Hard to find tutorials in the free version. Difficult to navigate the window icons, what they are supposed to do. I have trouble setting destinations. All in all not a user friendly app for novice.
