Compass App Reviews

Total waste of money, does not work. "North" is always random and NEVER in right direction. What a joke.

that uses location services in google maps. It is subject to any distortions in google maps. I understood what it was when I got it and liked the design and idea, regardless of the ratings, but do not like the link to location services or google maps, so I deleted it. Appears to be a sundial for the iPhone that orients with shadow and is used for direction.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! This is a s***** app and it doesn't work. I know which way north is, but apparently this doesn't. Don't buy this dumb app.

This app just doesn't work. Don't waste your money!

Stupid me bought this while on the run and not reading reviews. I'll never do that again! What junk. This is the first review I've ever written because it's really THAT bad. Doesn't work and is filled with spam buttons.

Worthless

This app is usefull on Apple "I" devices without gps. If you know astronomy very well, this app won't help you much. But for the rest of us, it helps! I want to use it to learn how the sun moves through the sky during the year. Find a nearby place with free wifi. Have location services turned on. The location of most wifi hotspots is known. Apple uses it to find a lost iPod touch! Once the app knows your location, it can give you accurate directions! You can go hiking ten miles from the wifi hotspot and still get accurate directions from the device. Please remember the polynesions sailed the pacific ocean just by watching the sun and stars!

As i don't like to read manual, hence an Apple user, I picked up this compass over a year ago. I tried it on two iPhones and an iPad. Completely useless. It does not work. In fact, it irks me to see something so useless still in the Apple Store. I wish they'd dump applications that have one star averages that outweigh 4's and 5's combined. This is junk. Although, if you're one of those guys who like to make things work that others cannot. You'll love this. It will keep you busy FOREVER.

It's only the picture that resembles a compass.

What the heck! Thos c*** is a sun compass not an actual one

A compass should point NORTH. Not show you where the sun is. Not my idea of a compass. Not happy with this app.

junk, this does not work well at all and the developer has no place to request a refund and removal

Terrible app, not at all what I thought it was going to do. Wasted $.99.

Everything is based on the sum which was not easy to track. This will not work on overcast days and nights. Same as looking up then noting the time to get a general dirention.

This is a worthless application. Since it does not identify 'north' to call it a 'compass' is missleading. It should be removed from the app store and money refunded.

The same compass is aviable for free at the creators web page as a web app u simply have to add it as a bookmark or as a start screen and then u go u got the same app for free

This application is a rip. The picture of the compass is misleading. If it is cloudy out u are SOL. Let alone at night. If your life depended on using it, you better hope for a sunny day.

Doesn't work with iTouch. Don't buy it if that's what you have.

This app uses the same principal of useing a watch! I thought it would be good but it stinks! Don't buy this app it should be free!

Don’t waste your money. This app only works if you can see the sun and then it is only an approximation.

You have to point your iPhone to the sun for this to work. Very inconvenient. Do not buy.

long story short, this app is a useless peice of freaking crap.

... it is *not* a free-wheeling compass. think of it more like a "sundial" than a compass. you already know that the sun rises in the east, and sets in the west. you also know that the sun's position on the earth's latitude changes seasonally. well, this app uses that information to provide you accurate orientation. so stop complaining ... your 99¢ is better spent on this, than some artery-clogging dollar special at a burger joint.

It doesn't even belong on the application. This is a scam and 100% junk. I'd rather wipe my b*** with the dollar I just spent.

Scam. Does not work. Not a real compass. Don't waste your money

I love this app it works so great I can't beleive it was only .99 cents thank you so much apple I hope u keep making apps like this one

This is basically a "sun compass" and it does what is promises...shows you where true north is when the sun is shining. As a photographer I use it frequently to estimate when good lighting conditions might be present for other times of the day. The iPod Touch doesn't have a built-in magnetic compass so this is the best and only app that gives you an indication of direction.

This application stinks. It does not work and there is no support from the seller.

Besides that the application is almost useless, any button you touch on the screen takes you to the net trying to sell you other apps. Really annoying! Want my money back.

Useless

Total crap

To use this app, you point the iPhone at the sun. Then the compass will be correct. It's that easy! The developer should probably add some text to the main display, saying "Point iPhone at the sun" since some people don't seem to get that. I'm deducting one star for the unnecessary website buttons.

Don't buy!!! Didn't even want to put 1 star.

Worthless !! Want my $ back !!

Not worth the money or the effort! Very disappointing!
