9 Positive User Reviews for Pro Compass for Watch
Bubbles move backwards
Beautiful graphics but the bubbles move backwards. Possibly because I wear the watch on my right wrist with the crown closest to my elbow?
Very cool, when you grok it.
Running successfully on Watch Series2. This is a gyrocompass. Each time you use it, you first initialize it to a reference direction. Then it uses the gyroscope capabilities of the watch to maintain that reference. Works for me well on hikes and on the bike. Bubble levels do their thing just fine, too, and add to accuracy when you respect them for a directional reading. Note that you load this software directly on watch using App Store watch app, not your phone. Read what developer is saying, I
It could be useful
It doesn’t seem to be using the watch gps and there’s no calibration option. You basically try to find one of the 4 directions and spin the crown until you set this direction as close as you think it’s right.
I guess it could be helpful if you get lost and you have nothing but the watch and you trying to move in a straight.
It be nice to have a lock button so that after you set the compass, it disables/lock the crown button so you don’t accidentally spin it.
THE compass to use
This is a functional app that also looks great on your watch. It does so much more than the basic Apple compass. And the price is for purchase, not a subscription. There’s nothing not to like.
Nice app
Nice, works great. Inexpensive and no subscription. I got the bundle for my watch and wish I had it gotten for my phone also.
Great App - Best Compass ever!
The app is fantastic- the problem I was having was user error (on my part). When you actually read the instructions (which are well written and easy to follow) this app becomes the best Compass you’ll ever have. Well worth the cost. I highly recommend this.
Can’t be download again from phone!
I had to unpair my watch. This app didn’t reinstall! Go to app store on iPhone to download and reinstall and it says purchased. Must be downloaded from your watch. Not intuitive at all.
Finally - waypoints on a map
I love the look of Apple's native compass app but the waypoint feature is useless. It doesn’t show the waypoints on a map. It’s unbelievable how silly that is.
This app fixes that issue and it works great.
My only complaint is that the UI isn’t as polished as I would like. But the functionality is perfect.

Crashes
Have the latest iWatch with cellular... app crashes. Contacted app support, they were quick to answer/unaware of any issue(s). I've power cycled watch/deleted and reinstalled -- no go.
I'm looking forward to a fix.
