The compass seems accurate and the app is definitely worth having on your phone , but I haven't used it for it's intended purpose. That being said if I was doing serious orienteering , I wouldn't depend on an electronic device that can , and eventually would , lose power. However the GPS coordinates being displayed could certainly be helpful in numerous scenarios , and would especially be helpful in the Backcountry.

A compass app that actually works like a real compass with no overcomplicated settings and no ads!! And yes you have to calibrate the compass every couple times you use it, but it only takes 30 seconds at most, and no compass app would be accurate without calibrating every couple of times if not every time you use it, considering all of the metals, magnets and electromagnetic fields that our phones get exposed to throughout the day.

Best compass I've used. Shows either true or magnetic headings, multiple color/display options, and local magnetic field. Adapts to location easily, great since we now live in a location that does not have straight N/S or E/W streets. The biggest issue is the fact that every time I use it, it must be recalculated, which is a pain. It goes from "high" accuracy to "medium" or "low" in one cycle of on-off-on. Not consistent...
