Dave's not here, man.
Works nicely. With both compass (true north and magnetic north) and clinometer on the same app, I can use it for some rudimentary surveying and geologic mapping. Not as accurate as a Brunton pocket transit, but it's always with me any time I remember to bring my phone along. Now somebody should invent a clamp for mounting the phone on a tripod and sighting.

A compass app that actually works like a real compass with no overcomplicated settings and no ads!! And yes you have to calibrate the compass every couple times you use it, but it only takes 30 seconds at most, and no compass app would be accurate without calibrating every couple of times if not every time you use it, considering all of the metals, magnets and electromagnetic fields that our phones get exposed to throughout the day.

Perfect, simple app. Large, clear display. Multiple display skins - the colorful "luminous black" option is gorgeous. Calibrate by waving in the air a few times, explanatory animated graphic shows how. Calibrated quickly, responds very promptly when I move my phone, good accuracy. Doesn't take up much space on the phone, and only asks for minimal permissions, unlike one of the other no-ads compass apps, which wanted to know practically everything on my phone.
