This application adds the a compass to your device. It either uses the built in magnetic compass (if available) or provides a sun compass (You just have to see the sun and know the time to determine the north direction). Use it for all your outdoor activities whether it's hiking, biking or for a boy scout camp. The sun compass is not affected by magnetic anomalies.
Compass Positive Reviews
Works great if you bother to read the directions.To use this app, you point the iPhone at the sun. Then the compass will be correct. It's that easy!
The developer should probably add some text to the main display, saying "Point iPhone at the sun" since some people don't seem to get that.
I'm deducting one star for the unnecessary website buttons..WombatmanForeverVersion: 0
Version 2.2.1 works greatReviews of earlier versions made me hesitant, but there are so few compass options for my gen1 iPad that I gave it a shot. It works well with no problems at all. I like its simplicity (I don't need bells and whistles) and the fact that you can use it as a sun compass or a magnetic compass. Too bad that iPod Touches do not have a magnetometer, or I'd load this app on my old Touch, too.
If you're like me and you want to maximize the utility of older devices rather than chucking them, this app is especially welcome. I thank the developer for maintaining compatibility with iOS 5.1.1..LuvComicFlowVersion: 2.2.1
Good appThis app is usefull on Apple "I" devices without gps. If you know astronomy very well, this app won't help you much. But for the rest of us, it helps!
I want to use it to learn how the sun moves through the sky during the year.
Find a nearby place with free wifi. Have location services turned on. The location of most wifi hotspots is known. Apple uses it to find a lost iPod touch!
Once the app knows your location, it can give you accurate directions!
You can go hiking ten miles from the wifi hotspot and still get accurate directions from the device. Please remember the polynesions sailed the pacific ocean just by watching the sun and stars!.Jim with iPod touchVersion: 0
Works fineThis is basically a "sun compass" and it does what is promises...shows you where true north is when the sun is shining. As a photographer I use it frequently to estimate when good lighting conditions might be present for other times of the day. The iPod Touch doesn't have a built-in magnetic compass so this is the best and only app that gives you an indication of direction..Comdot42Version: 2.0.1
It's an orientation tool, people!... it is *not* a free-wheeling compass. think of it more like a "sundial" than a compass.
you already know that the sun rises in the east, and sets in the west. you also know that the sun's position on the earth's latitude changes seasonally. well, this app uses that information to provide you accurate orientation.
so stop complaining ... your 99¢ is better spent on this, than some artery-clogging dollar special at a burger joint..FlitetymVersion: 0

Compass Negative Reviews
Horible!This app uses the same principal of useing a watch! I thought it would be good but it stinks! Don't buy this app it should be free!.Winters1Version: 0
I spent way too much time, several times frustrated. IT'S NOT ME.As i don't like to read manual, hence an Apple user, I picked up this compass over a year ago. I tried it on two iPhones and an iPad. Completely useless. It does not work. In fact, it irks me to see something so useless still in the Apple Store. I wish they'd dump applications that have one star averages that outweigh 4's and 5's combined. This is junk. Although, if you're one of those guys who like to make things work that others cannot. You'll love this. It will keep you busy FOREVER..HeadHunterVersion: 2.0.1
SundialThat uses location services in google maps. It is subject to any distortions in google maps. I understood what it was when I got it and liked the design and idea, regardless of the ratings, but do not like the link to location services or google maps, so I deleted it. Appears to be a sundial for the iPhone that orients with shadow and is used for direction..SusiechVersion: 0
Not just useless but annoying tooBesides that the application is almost useless, any button you touch on the screen takes you to the net trying to sell you other apps. Really annoying! Want my money back..Bigred210Version: 0
WowStupid me bought this while on the run and not reading reviews. I'll never do that again! What junk.
This is the first review I've ever written because it's really THAT bad. Doesn't work and is filled with spam buttons..Kane250Version: 0
Useless appEverything is based on the sum which was not easy to track. This will not work on overcast days and nights. Same as looking up then noting the time to get a general dirention..MikeCQVersion: 0
DON'T BUYThis application is a rip. The picture of the compass is misleading. If it is cloudy out u are SOL. Let alone at night. If your life depended on using it, you better hope for a sunny day..Video7105Version: 0
Review of this worthless applicationThis is a worthless application. Since it does not identify 'north' to call it a 'compass' is missleading. It should be removed from the app store and money refunded..A fool who parted with this moneyVersion: 0
