User reviews

Giving it three stars for the time being. Paid for the full version but with no documentation on how to access customization features I'm not sure what I paid for. To the developers, do you have any sort of user guide?

has accuracy issues but works well otherwise; would really prefer a tile to a watch face

I just paid $2.99 for the full version which downloaded quickly however the face says "no compass installed" the rest of the app appears there but not the main compass part which is kinda the whole point!
