Reviews for Compass app - Accurate Compass

the app forces your screen to full brightness and disabled the blue light filter for no reason. forced ads as well. there is no reason whatsoever to force the screen to full brightness, and even less of a reason to turn off the blue light filter on the screen. literally no reason. the app should be able to work normally at any screen brightness. do not download this app.

I downloaded this app and signed up for the free trial, tried the app out and it wasn't what I was looking for. I went to Google play cancelled the subscription and deleted the app. It all took about thirty minutes. I looked at my bank account the very next day and saw I was charged the full price for an app I unsubscribed to and deleted within 45 of downloading it.

Not a good experience with unsubscribing / account management - they obviously intend on making money with short term subscriptions from people who are unable to cancel (My opinion). To be fair, the app looks good though. Don't try to cancel through the app, do it through Google pay or your card.

I understand the concept of seeing ads on a free version of an app, but this app is SO full of ads that I wasn't even able to evaluate it. Why would I pay to remove ads when I can't properly try the app to find out if I even like it? From the second I opened it, I was consistently bombarded with pop-ups to the point that I just gave up. There are plenty of compass apps that don't do that

Working like a charm for me , you must allow your GPS to run in sinc with the app. No problems to report from me. Just to let you know I just paid to remove the adds it cost just £9.99 uk. Here's a tip if using the compass in your phone case and it has a small magnetic catch , try removing your phone from its case as magnets effect compass reading's.

Not free and made me watch an ad before I could even uninstall it. Their response "sorry, ads are necessary" is trite, I was never able to navigate to the product for all the pop-ups, and there is a bazillion other compass apps out there. EDIT: Check out their response. Told you.

junk or scam app, forces 'free trial' on first screen, does not *actually* function on most common midrange priced devices, but you can't find that out until after agreeing to trial that's $15/week if u forget to cancel (pro tip use prepaid card like i do so they cant scam you)

It's excellent doesn't need calibration more often. When you needed the most it works perfectly fine. Can't expect to be accurate as compas but it's accurate enough to get the job done. Ads are there but premium version is there to go ad free. No more you need. Satellite images loading in no time is awesome. Must have app in you phone.

I don't like that it wants the camera as the background. There's no need. Blocking permissions stops it but then it asks every time. It also says "distance" on the home screen when it means "elevation". Bit weird.

I really like this app, but the premium is prohibited expensive. How can you guys justify 60 dollars a month for the service? I think you guys just want the user to forget his subscription and charge him. I would gladly pay 60 bucks a year for this. A month???? No way

It seems to work okay, some nice features, but there are soooo many ads it's not really usable. I thought I'd buy, but $15/week. Oh hell no. I'm a retired software developer, so I believe in supporting the people that write these, but not at $780/year.

App wants camera permission and account creation before use. There is absolutely no reason for this. I only wanted a simple compass for occasional use, nothing else. Uninstalled immediately and will order a $1-2 compass from Amazon, thank you very much.

The app has been performing great while at normal atmosphere. As I happen to be an explorer in the Himalayas, am yet to take it to the 'next level'. Will come back with It's performance report at the unspecified areas. It reads as 'Distance .... m'. I guess it means the height of the place above sealevel. It should be termed as 'Altitude' or 'Elevation'.

Ads for other apps pops up as notifications on the notification tab when the app has not been used for several months. It's one thing with notifications for the app itself when you're not using it, but pushing advertising outside is just a whole new low. This is one of the few reviews I leave behind but they rightfully deserves 0 stars if it had been possible.

I can't close out from the ads and due to this I can't use it EDIT: So their solution is you can't use it unless if you go for the free trial or paid version? Look at the reply. I just needed it for a few seconds to figure out true north to setup a sundial. I don't and shouldn't have to go through a free trial or paid version. Note I'm not complaining about there is ads. But you can't close out of the ads and therefore you can't use it.

Although I never find myself lost in the woods needing a compass, I do have the occasional need to know N, S, E, and W. The instinct to simply know directions does not come natural to me... at all. This app couldn't be more straightforward and easy to use.

BE CAREFUL. Full of ADVERTISEMENT ONLY. To use every function you need to watch 2-3 video adds with annoying sound. You can't skip them befor 5 seconds. Skip button is placed in such a way that while skipping there is high chances that you'll click the add. 60-70% off all pages are filled with other (non video) add. Overall very bad experience. Nobody should use this.

Ads Galore. As soon as you open the app, there's like a gazillion ads popping up. Sad how the world is all about money. Create a version that they know WILL be frustrating, just to then have you purchase the ad free version. The compass is slow and takes forever to calibrate, not worth it, period!

OMG at the ads. Looks like a decent app as far as functionality goes, but it put ads in my phone notifications that kept pinging me. I got that setting turned off, but then to open the app it goes through several full-screen ads before you can use it, AND there's the typical ad bar, ad, ad, ad, ad... not worth it. When I first installed it, I thought, "maybe this is worth the pro version if it's reasonably priced". I didn't check. There's so many ads in this that it's just insulting. Uninstalled

This app is so inaccurate when you compare it to a normal compass. It also has ad after ad after ad. What a waste of time. Editing my response: I no longer have this app. I found another one that had better accuracy (even told you how to calibrate your phone to get the best accuracy) and no ads popping up as soon as you launch the program.
