Ratings and Reviews
Okay
Maybe it’s normal for a compass to be marked at 30 degree intervals - I would have no idea - but 45 degrees would seem more useful to me as we use NW, SW etc. when describing directions. Not sure how accurate it is as it seems to vary a bit.
Beware of magnetic phone cases
There are a lot of reviews saying the compass is not working. I had this problem and it was due to having a phone case with a magnetic closure. As soon as I took the phone out of the case, the compass worked perfectly. Try this before you dismiss the app or dis the phone. The compass app works very well when not interfered with cases made by people who don’t think about the implications of having a magnetic clip on a device that uses magnets to function. Doh!
Excellent
I see some negative reviews but it works perfectly on my iPhone 13 and the magnetic fastener on my ‘Torro’ case does not affect it. It works whether my phone is laid flat or held vertical so its good in the car holder. It also indicates your location and elevation. Other compasses I have tried often require calibration (by walking a figure of 8 and such) but this compass does not. I’m fine with it. You can set it (in the phone Settings) to show either magnetic north or true north.
