Pro Compass App Reviews

Graphic detail is excellent and the rosette responds to incline perfectly. Direction has been accurate in my tests. Also displays position and supports MGRS, making it perfect for the military or metric-minded.

Great

I love this app and want to use it for quick position info, but it doesnt have UTM as a format so its not compatible with my paper map.

One of the best compasses on the app store it would be nice if the needle was red for north black for south and have the ability to open theodolite at the touch of a button for photos of the area. Still a great compass still wish it worked in conjunction with theodolite.

Like the compass Not impressed with the accuracy

I like everything about the app, but would like one addition. Id like to see an setting allowing adjustment +- of so many degrees to make it more accurate. I know the app is limited to the info it gets from the phone, but to be able to set it to compensate for the phones deficiency would be awesome. As it stands now, mine is about 10 to 20 degrees off from my Trimble/meridian setup I use at work.

I have used Hunters great Theodolite app for several years. With a Bad Elf GPS receiver, this is an awesomely accurate app and a must have for any pilot as a backup. Recommend to all Civil Air Patrol Emergency Services personnel. The best Ive seen.

This app would get a five star rating if you could use UTMs instead of Degrees, Minutes, Seconds. DMS is not very useful for what I want to be doing. Especially if it is being advertised as a "Geologic Compass".

Perfect for land nav. Makes my lensatic compass my backup.

Its really cool. If youre looking to upgrade over stock iOS compass look no further. Feature rich but still easy to use. Someone complained it was not an iPad app. It never claimed to be! Foul ball on the negative review there!

Hands down the best compass app available. Good accuracy and a beautiful, realistic interface. Last update added UTM support! Much appreciated! Would love to see fine tune adjustments added to compensate for a devices individual biases and shortcomings. Keep up the great work..

This an awesome app! GPS receiver and compass in one. Bearings seem to be much more accurate than the conservative 15 degree uncertainty range stated.

I would remove the pro in pro compass. It does have a 15 degree error that can be as much as 20-25 degrees - somewhat unnerving since it is listed under the navigation category. That much error will get you lost bigger than Stuttgart. Overall it is a nice distraction app.

but a 15% margin for error is substantial

Pro Compass accurately reports altitudes, a matter of great import to persons with compromised pulmonary health issues. The app is profoundly professional in its development, limited only by the sensitivities of the iPhone/iPad sensors. Anyone will have a hard time doing better.

Using it on an iPhone 4 Less accurate than iPhone compass. Pointer seems to get "confused", weaving back and forth while sitting on a table outside. Direction algorithm needs some work I think.

In a bottle rockets class at ArizonaScienceLab.org we needed a low-cost transit to measure azimuth and elevation of students bottle rockets at their apogee. My iPhone on a 1x3 board, clamped to a tripod, did the trick. This app is stable and easy to use. And at this price, it cant be beat. The only thing Id add for my use is a display mode with large heading and elevation numbers to make it easy to read in the field.

If your going from Florida to New York youll probably not make it with this App.

I’m big fan of Hunter’s Theodolite App and picked this app up to complete the package. Another quality app from a great company with EXCELLENT support.

This is very good app. Any chance of getting DM.mm format as on your Theodolite app (also a very good app)? Also, any chance of separating the 10 digit string under MGRS and UTM coordinates with a single space? Having a space would make plotting points easier. Thanks!
