Compass for iPad (Free) for Negative User Reviews
✓ It's a still image of a compass, nothing more.The compass does not move at all, no matter where I take it, how hard I shake it, or how many times I force close and open it. There is no difference between magnetic and geographic North because the image doesn't do anything. It's a photograph, not a movie, and certainly not a compass. There is neither latitude nor longitude written anywhere on this photo. If everyone reviewing this app had my experience with it, it would have solid 1 star ratings; I get that, but that doesn't alter the fact that for my new iPad Air 2, this app is taking up space and giving absolutely nothing back. Is it a bug? I don't know. It just doesn't work,...at all!.Version: 1.0
✓ MrWould be great if it could be graduated in mills.Version: 1.0
✓ DangerousThis is dangerously unreliable, even when tested with magnets! I've adjusted compasses so I know what I am talking about..Version: 1.0
✓ East/West swapped?Seems to work well but like one other reviewer the app tells me my location is East when I am actually West. This will be a nice free app once this detail is fixed..Version: 1.0
✓ CompassIt dose not even work..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't work wellCompass doesn't work well.Version: 1.0

✓ Piece of CompaCrapIt looks like static picture with no moving elements. Forget finding way home with this excellent app..Version: 1.0
✓ Frozen CompassIt was a bad app because it didn't do anything, as if it were frozen. I would not recommend this app, because it was not accurate. I tried to go out of the app and go back in and still it didn't work..Version: 1.0
✓ Not happyThis apps Doesn't work at all. It doesn't do anything when u open it. Worst part is I cant find the uninstall button! Don't rely on this compass....Version: 1.0
✓ Rubbish!Downloaded to my iPad 2, seemed to work once, then asked to allow it access to my location 'even when not using the app'! Obviously I said 'No'! App then doesn't work. Pathetic! Not worth the money I didn't pay for it!.Version: 1.0
✓ CloseThe compass seems to vary by a few degrees which is not too bad. But on the East coast of N. America it says I'm in the Eastern hemisphere! The numbers are correct thou..Version: 1.0
✓ Needs updated!Needs updated for newer iPads!.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't wokIt's doesn't seem to work t all. I try to calibrate iPad or make on pass work. Screen just stands still. Deleted app within 5 mins of trying. Waste of time.Version: 1.0

✓ Needs more regular updatesOk, but I would like to see more updates.Version: 1.0
✓ Not working, uselessThe compass doesn't move at all!.Version: 1.0
✓ Not as billedI tested it with my truck compass which is aided by GPS. Your compass was 90 to 180 degrees off... I tested it again outside and away from the vehicle and received similar results. I need a compass that will work inside buildings this won't cut it.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workEverywhere I point my iPad, it always shows as north..Version: 1.0
✓ Pretty good!Since the iPad doesn't have an "official" compass this is a good replacement for it. Almost like the iPhone version just bigger. So basically if u want a compass for your iPad I'd go with this one.Version: 0
✓ Works but don't rely on it.Stayed in Istanbul. Compass reading said we were 29 degrees West which would put Istanbul somewhere in mid Atlantic. Should have read 29 degrees East!!! Once back home in SW UK, it told me we were East of Greenwich. I think being in the SW might give a clue that we are actually West of Greenwich. The actual Ap works fine, it's simply the extra info about your current location that is, shall we say, not without errors!.Version: 1.0
✓ RubbishWorked for about 2 seconds. Turned my iPad slightly and now it just points North as the top of the screen however you turn it! Utterly pointless..Version: 1.0
✓ Avoid at all costs unless you want a great excuse for being late.Horrible!.Version: 1.0
✓ Does not work in current iOSTried a dozen times but never worked even once. Compass needle never moves even when I do..Version: 1.0
✓ Compass for ipad2Doesn't work on mine. It did at first, then stopped..Version: 1.0
✓ Wrong coordinatesProblem is it says I am 2degrees 43 mins EAST. We are WEST of the Greenwich meridian!.Version: 1.0
✓ Simply doesn't workWaste of time..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workThis app does not work. When you load it a beautiful picture of a compass appears. The problem is that it is a static picture. When I turn the ipad so does the picture and there is no way to find out where north is. I will be removing this app as soon as I post this review.Version: 1.0
✓ Strange appDoesn't always work. Needle moves once and then gets stuck. Maybe it's because the airport scanner messed up the digital compass in my iPad 2?.Version: 1.0
✓ It's awesomePlease change it's background please.Version: 1.0
✓ Wrong ?Don't run for mini ipad IOS 6.1.3.Version: 1.0
✓ To much interferenceDid not work for me. When outside comes up with to much interference, when not showing to much interference it is very erratic or wrong. CindyS.Version: 1.0
✓ HopelessHopeless. Has me in the western hemisphere when I'm in Australia hmmmm.... Then it freezes ..... Not reliable or accurate!.Version: 1.0
✓ Be awareWhile this does exactly as you would expect, for it to work, you have to give the app 'Always access' to the GPS of your iPad/iPhone. This means that even if the app is not open, it can still use the GPS to gather location data from you, and more importantly, if it's constantly accessing the GPS of your device day & night, then it's draining battery life. I was not happy with that choice personally, and went with a different compass app..Version: 1.0
✓ CompassThe longitude is incorrect. Philadelphia is not in the eastern hemisphere. Wish this was corrected because I am using the compass with my class..Version: 1.0
✓ East is WestIt can't tell East from West in New Zealand. So where do I point my mobile satellite dish ?Useless..Version: 1.0
✓ Compass app MAJOR problem..The app works well, But, Longitude is 180 degrees off.. I am at About 85 degrees W. longitude... Your compass shows 85 degrees E.. All my other compass/gps/map type apps work correctly.... Please fix it...Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't WorkThis app doesn't work. I tried it inside and outside and it didn't work. I even tried walking around and it doesn't work. The North arrow never even moved no matter how I moved the iPad..Version: 1.0
✓ Compass not working - nice still imageDeleted the app in the first 5 minutes..Version: 1.0
✓ RubbishDoesn't work properly..Version: 1.0
✓ Used to work wellI love this compass it’s very stylish and used to work well. Please update it.Version: 1.0
✓ AwfulEvery time I moved the iPad by an inch it settled on a different north direction. Completely untrustworthy..Version: 1.0
✓ Not workingChange to 4 stars....Version: 1.0
✓ Does not work tPlain and simple: it does not work. It stays stationary and makes no change regardless of how much you move it. I'm deleting immediately..Version: 1.0
✓ UpdateLove this app, hope you update to new apple so coming soon.Version: 1.0
✓ Has stopped workingDoesn’t work with the latest version ph iOS. Therefore useless..Version: 1.0
✓ Some flaws, but okThe longitude does indeed say East when it should say West, as others have mentioned. No way of contacting the developers on their site. But the compass does work well, and there's no adverts!.Version: 1.0
✓ Rubbish - glad I didn't pay for itSouth is never in the same direction twice. I'm not talking about slight-variations - sometimes it's south, sometimes it's West! Re calibrating doesn't help, sometimes makes it worse. I know roughly where the North-South axis is here and was asked for confirmation! Not a reliable, therefore not a useful, App.Version: 1.0
✓ Does not work with IOS11Needs IOS11 update!.Version: 1.0
✓ So-soThe magnetic north setting works as expected. Don't know how accurate it is but it works. OTOH, the true north setting is useless. It always reads 269 degrees, regardless of the actual orientation of the iPad. If it's in there it should work properly. If it doesn't it shouldn't be in there..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workEvery time it recalibrates it gives a different direction as North, therefore it is a completely pointless app as it cannot be trusted to give a true reading.Version: 1.0
✓ UselessDownloaded to my iPad mini 3, calibrated it only to find it was pointing to North when it should be South. Deleted it and tried again only to have the same thing happen again..Version: 1.0
✓ LongitudeValue below compass is incorrect!.Version: 1.0
✓ Compass AppCurrently will not work with IOS11. Developer please update this app..Version: 1.0
✓ GarbageDoes not work - just sits there. Waste of time..Version: 1.0
✓ Was useful!This app is useless now, the app needs to be made compatible with iOS11.Version: 1.0
✓ PHLIt shows my longitude as 2°56'27"E. It should be W..Version: 1.0
✓ If I got lost and knew I had to go north then this would not help me at allI got this in case I got lost or simply needed to know where to go, and I can figure it out! I ask it to go to the real north, and it points whatever direction I'm facing, not helpful. I'm deleting this app..Version: 1.0
✓ None working compassI have had this app a couple of years and up to a few months ago it seemed swing around as required and register North now it is static. North is wherever you want to to be. A bit disconcerting and not useful..Version: 1.0
✓ BrokenThe look is fine for a basic compass, but this app doesn't work. No matter which direction you point it, it is wrong and doesn't change it's heading no matter what. Maybe they need to include directions, because it did not work on the first try. Thus it is deleted and I keep looking for a basic compass..Version: 1.0
✓ Um...I just got it and it is stuck on 0 North.Version: 1.0
✓ Not very good at allWouldn't work at all on my iPad2. A bit pants really..Version: 1.0
✓ Unbelievably crappy.Piece of worthless crap..Version: 1.0
✓ Didn't workPointed here, there, anywhere. Did it point to north? Probably, since it pointed in virtually every direction at least once while I was testing it out, far from any magnetic interference. Seriously, what good is a compass if you have no faith in it all? Deleted..Version: 1.0
✓ North?Certainly would,t point north for me. Deleted it..Version: 1.0
✓ It wants to access your location when not in use :/Why does it need your location when not being used? That is super creepy so no thanks! Deleted in under a minute.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workPiece of crap didn't point to the right direction to begin with, then stopped moving completely after a while.Version: 1.0
✓ Needle doesn't move!What am I doing wrong? The app opens with a lovely graphic of a compass, but it is a static screen. No matter which way I turn my iPad, the needle in the middle doesn't move AT ALL. I'm holding it away from my body and not near anything else. Doesn't seem to work..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't even work!!!It doesn't work at all, when you try turning it doesn't fix the compass either. Don't get this..Version: 0
✓ Doesn't works with my IPadWhen I walk with my IPad around my house the only thing I see is the compass with above of it 0 degrees and it won't change..Version: 1.0
✓ Simply won't work.Never worked on my ios8 iPad mini. Never once spun. Swapped it for another free compass that does..Version: 1.0
✓ Coordinates are wrongCompass works but the coordinates show East when they should say West. Last time I checked I was NOT in China!.Version: 1.0
✓ Compass for iPadHORRIBLE. Completely inaccurate..Version: 1.0
✓ StupidThis app is so stupid, put the iPad on the floor and u will get one direction to north! Change the position, and get a different direction, keep moving the iPad clockwise, direction will move with u!.Version: 0
✓ UselessThis app is totally useless. In Australia anyway. It is dangerous and should be withdrawn. Basically it is completely inaccurate..Version: 1.0
✓ FakeDoesn't even work. Just a picture of a compass..Version: 1.0
✓ Not quite perfectAccuracy questionable (but I do live in a house that has a lot of steel framed partitions). There appears to be no means of setting the difference between magnetic and true north, which around here is about 2deg20mins west..Version: 1.0
✓ Lat and long errorCompass works fine and lat and long are useful but in Australia longitude should be East not West..Version: 1.0
✓ Like Lacemaker saysIt's just a picture. Nothing to see here folks..Version: 1.0
