Very sleek, functional compass. Lots of thought has gone into this app. My only requests would be to increase the FPS/smoothness of the compass motion, add ability to delete multiple places at once and have a home screen compass widget.

Simple, clean, intuitive UI/UX, with a cleverly designed bubble level as a bonus. I have a multi-tool app with a perfectly serviceable compass & level, but I've kept this app too because it's so much nicer & more user-friendly.

handy but don't trust your life with it. The ability to pin your location then reference it later to get distance and direction is OK at best. Through a few months of using the app I find it can be very inaccurate, up to 10 degrees in some cases and the distance can be 100-1000 meters off. If you plan to use this app for intersection and resection to triangulate your position in back country based on known points, know that you MUST calibrate the compass every time you shoot an azimuth.
