About Pro Compass For Watch (Craig Hunter)
New in Pro Compass for Watch version 2 is a map screen and waypoint manager. You can add waypoints on the map or at your current location, and view waypoints on the compass ring to visualize their bearing from your current location.
Pro Compass has settings for compass mode (true or magnetic, degrees or mils), distance/altitude units (feet or meters), and position format (decimal degrees, degrees-minutes-seconds, MGRS, USNG, UTM, UTM-B, and Maidenhead Locator System). The app has six color schemes, including two night vision modes - midnight red and luminescent green.
Pro Compass for Watch is recommended for Apple Watch Series 5 and later (including Ultra). Apple Watch Series 4 and older do not have a compass sensor and will not show compass data. On older devices, the app uses the device's gyro sensor to measure rotation. You can twist the watch's digital crown to adjust and calibrate the gyro to the sun position, moon position, or a known bearing. Using these references, the "gyro compass" is able to give bearing. The calibration can be repeated as often as desired to give accurate results.
Accuracy note: Pro Compass reports accuracy from the magnetometer sensor in your watch. To improve results, operate Pro Compass away from magnets, electronics, or sources of electro-magnetic interference, including car dashboards, aircraft cockpits, metal structures, and other devices.
Developer note: like all our apps, we plan to continually improve and evolve Pro Compass for Watch. Please contact us with feature requests, suggestions, and general feedback. We'd love to hear what you're doing with the app!

I love the look of Apple's native compass app but the waypoint feature is useless. It doesn’t show the waypoints on a map. It’s unbelievable how silly that is. This app fixes that issue and it works great. My only complaint is that the UI isn’t as polished as I would like. But the functionality is perfect.
I had some trouble getting the compass to move off North so I sent an email to developer Craig Hunter. He responded in less than 2 hours telling me what to do and sent another email to assure I had location services set correctly. I’m now enjoying using the compass to keep me oriented while wandering around. Very accurate and easy to use. Craig clearly cares for his app as well as his customers. 5 stars for customer support and 5 stars for the app! Paul P.
The app is fantastic- the problem I was having was user error (on my part). When you actually read the instructions (which are well written and easy to follow) this app becomes the best Compass you’ll ever have. Well worth the cost. I highly recommend this.
It almost makes me like my Ultra2!
This is a functional app that also looks great on your watch. It does so much more than the basic Apple compass. And the price is for purchase, not a subscription. There’s nothing not to like.

Nice, works great. Inexpensive and no subscription. I got the bundle for my watch and wish I had it gotten for my phone also.
Running successfully on Watch Series2. This is a gyrocompass. Each time you use it, you first initialize it to a reference direction. Then it uses the gyroscope capabilities of the watch to maintain that reference. Works for me well on hikes and on the bike. Bubble levels do their thing just fine, too, and add to accuracy when you respect them for a directional reading. Note that you load this software directly on watch using App Store watch app, not your phone. Read what developer is saying, I didn’t get it the first time. Worth a bit of focus.
My first app that installs directly through the watch without the phone. A little learning curve. ... Now really happy with the program except my watch lacks internal compass so I’m stuck depending on the gyro. I do believe that it may yet be of use on walks once it’s calibrated. The graphics are smooth and brilliant. I may have to update my watch 😀😂
After reading and understanding why it requires the Gyro function, it calibrates and works well! Can’t see the sun or moon? Just use your phone to calibrate (or a real compass) Yes, movement gets it “off” but unless one REALLY needs a compass frequently, I couldn’t justify $200 more for watch 5
Pro Compass For Watch Negative Reviews and Ratings
I purchased the app. It is nowhere to be found on watch or phone. Apple, do not perpetuate a scam. Remove this from the store!
Does not show up on my watch. It just says purchased , but we’re is it? Apple Watch Ultra
I understand the Developer believes the Location Permissions is an ios issue, however this is the ONLY app in 10 years that does this. It is a characteristic of only this app. After a month of not changing ANY location permissions, this app is unallowed again. Am I the only person having this problem ??? works great when it works, however it continues to have a long standing problem of forgetting its location permissions. you go to use it, and it doesn’t know the location any more. just says “waiting for location”. you have to reallow it use your position, and know how to do that. can’t be done on watch, must be done on phone. the frustration of going to use it, just to find out it’s got amnesia again renders it useless. would be great if this were fixed. it is the only app I use that does this.
It doesn’t seem to be using the watch gps and there’s no calibration option. You basically try to find one of the 4 directions and spin the crown until you set this direction as close as you think it’s right. I guess it could be helpful if you get lost and you have nothing but the watch and you trying to move in a straight. It be nice to have a lock button so that after you set the compass, it disables/lock the crown button so you don’t accidentally spin it.
I feel really ripped off by this company and this application. If a person digs deep enough you can find the statement at the App Store that says, in essence, it doesn’t work with an Apple Watch 4. One can point the watch in a known direction, and then use the watch bezel to dial in that direction. Then the Compass will function. Right up until such time as you touch the bezel again, in a place where you don’t know what’s what, have no idea what direction is what. And then you’re screwed. If your life depends on this Compass, you will probably die.
Beautiful graphics but the bubbles move backwards. Possibly because I wear the watch on my right wrist with the crown closest to my elbow?
Compass on watch when doesn’t work is ridiculous!!!!when it’s mentioned in setting that “compass not available “ !!!??? and the direction string rotating with side scroller!!?? Same problems I got with theodolite app, while these are some of the best I have in my iphone and /or ipad. If I’m wrong please correct me Thanks
Have the latest iWatch with cellular... app crashes. Contacted app support, they were quick to answer/unaware of any issue(s). I've power cycled watch/deleted and reinstalled -- no go. I'm looking forward to a fix.
I followed all directions, including the helpful hint, restarted the watch and the app won’t show on my watch. Zero stars.
Bought app, will not download
Downloaded to New Apple Watch Series 4 but it says “Compass Not Available”. Disappointed, looks like a compass but does not work 👎
Hi I bought the app worked well. Then disconnected my watch and reconnect Show as installed in the store but not visible in my Watch Please advice
This app is garbage. I just wanted a compass. This has to be set manually every time you use it. I have a Iwatch 4 and this is totally useless. The YouTube videos don’t explain a thing either. Wasted .99. If i could give it negative stars I would.
