Hmmm...

Ran a test on this app outside & in an open area, deciding to try something easy as a first shot. Unfortunately, I found it to be slow & largely unresponsive. After walking a loop of about 200 ft, the compass moved once, rather than shifting as I shifted direction. Sigh--what a wonder it would be to have anything approaching a standard compass. But this app doesnt meet even that low standard.

Perhaps future iterations will improve. Other comments? The compass units can only be set to meters or yards--options should include feet as few of us think in yards. The setting can be set for Walking, Bicycling, Driving or Custom. But there is no explanation of what changes with each setting. Are accuracies increasing or decreasing? Who knows? Font sizes on all displays are too small & should be enlarged by at least 50%. There is only one compass face option--the designer should provide several, based on classic compass faces.

But my biggest irritation is the lack of response when walking a site. Clearly the compass should shift and move its needle as the course direction changes. But even in an open field, that expectation was dashed.
