Pros and cons of Digital Compass FREE app for iPhone and iPad
Digital Compass FREE app good for
Works for me, on an iPhone 3G. Wont work on a 2G or iPod, of course, since they have no GPS. You have to move in a straight line after the green "GPS Ready" appears, and it seems you have to go at least 100 feet or more. Thats not a shortcoming of the software, but a limitation of the GPS accuracy.
Works especially well to indicate direction in a car. The easily visible red arrow shows where youre headed.
This is an easy way to find out if youre getting a GPS signal.
It would be nice to be able to reset it and start over when youre walking, though.
This app is better than any joke app! It makes you laugh so hard!
After reading all the awful reviews, I was a little nervous about this app. But since it was free, I downloaded it anyway.
I use it as a compass on my iPhone 4 for when I am driving. I have too much magnetic interference in the car to allow me to use a magnetic compass. When driving, the compass does exactly what it is supposed to do, and tells you which direction you are driving in as determined by your movement and GPS.
No complaints. Works fine. No-frills. There is a paid version that has some more features, but the free version does what it is supposed to do.
Impressive - accurate and very responsive to azimuth changes.
Some bad moments
you download the thing its just a nice display telling you to buy the 99 cents one and it clearly specify that it works only with iphone 3Gs O.o ?
This app is useless, it doesnt work. I would give it 0 stars if it was possible.
This app is useless!!! It dosent even work! All it is , is a picture. Just a picture ???!!! Horrible! I gave one star only because it made me give it a star!
Not free. You can download for free but you have to pay for it to work!
I made a big mistake of getting this DOESNT DO ANYTHING
Loaded it and it does nothing. Click on the settings and all it does is take you to the app store so you can buy the $.99 version. Do not even waste your time with this app.
