User reviews

Useful as an overlay for Tracklia navigation app which lacks a compass. It is a little difficult to read north and south in full sunlight.

Great idea, but the compass on screen is very small and has neither degree markings nor transparency, so it's not much good for taking a bearing. Also, no info on what personal data is collected, shared, or how to opt out of this.
