| 2024-12-15 |  | | I know you got this. Let's develop a camera mode and let it be applicable to other camera apps as a filter app. Could help with predicted pop action accuracy and pitch perfect aim agility. I also see nothing but darkness with detail where the planets are. Would work wonderfully if you mixed it with real ground level then sky above level to see where everything is at. All is hoped for the perfect all. |
| 2024-06-30 |  | | This is the app I was looking for to help with creating a horizon file to be used in various astronomy programs such as Stellarium and NINA. I would have given it 5 stars if it could record points along my horizon to a comma delimited text file. I did have to pay for the features I need such as camera view but for less than a cup of coffee it was worth it. Thanks. |
| 2024-06-19 |  | | Nothing is unlocked free as stared. To use all that is advertised, you will have to pay for it. Also, instead of having multiple apps, on Android it is a single free app with a paid unlock of premium features. Nothing is unlocked. Most of what is advertised will cost you. That needs to be changed to removed from the description. I will update this if anything changes. |
| 2024-05-28 |  | | A simple compass that includes elevation, speed, and tilt. Responsive and pretty good. No less accurate than others. Stick with free. The pro version turns on the camera permanently, with no clear way to turn it off and no way to get a refund. And some features do not work with the latest version of Android. It asks for permission to access files, but Settings has no such option. Backgrounds do not work. It includes a map and a coordinates converter, but there is no compass overlay on the map. |
| 2024-05-12 |  | | Kind of pointless having a compass app where the compass doesn't work, it doesn't move or anything. The camera takes blank images too, and the app is stuck under the 3 buttons at the bottom of my phone making it impossible to press any of the app buttons that are there... Utterly purposeless and poorly thought out rubbish. 😡 |
| 2024-03-17 |  | | I can't get the settings button to work on either of my phones I guess I'll just uninstall it. Couldn't get it to work properly. Then you had to put the settings at the very bottom and every time I try to click on it I end up hitting the buttons at the bottom of my phone. It doesn't make sense but I couldn't get it to work properly because I've never been able to get to the settings |
| 2024-02-22 |  | | As stated by another user, there is no way to grant storage permission. Also the the swipe feature does not work well as you cannot lock the screen leading to changes you do not want. Fix these and I will gladly give you a good review as other aspects of the app are really good. |
| 2023-08-18 |  | | 8-17-23 App has become unreliable. No evidence developer really supports android version. Paid version. Will never use again. Not sure when it happened, but current version does not update GPS location in real time on the screen. You have to stop moving, close App, the re-start App to get updated location.Running on two different android Motorola phones with Android version 6 & 9. Re- installing app didn't help. All other features seem ok. Don't know about altitude mentioned in another review. |
| 2023-07-15 |  | | I'm thinking of buying. There's just some slop that I can't understand. Why would the main view show "speed >9km/h" and right under it a speed of 0? There's excess elements and no customization for them. Can't move or remove things. |
| 2022-06-06 |  | | I am having an issue where anytime I want to open a .wav file this app tries to play it. I contacted Support and provided them some requested information on May 5, 2022 but have not received a reply. I have tried un-installing it and re-installing it to no avail. |
