Calibrate!
The calibration button does not work on a horizontal surface. When the phone is lying on a surface
App won’t work.
Buy the app for 8.99 and it doesn’t work. My screen stays black and it doesn’t take pictures.
Great purchase.
Great purchase.
Does NOT work properly
iPhone 11, I can turn a full 360 degrees & the compass barely moves. Got the app for surveying purposes & it’s basically useless for me. Really disappointing after spending the $. Seems like a great app, if it worked the way it should.
No instructions on how to make it work
This app is recommended by my company as being very worth while. For me this app is completely useless and a waste of money but most important is time lost trying to get this thing to work. I would not recommend this as you will never be able to use it. It is like a work of art that you can only look at. Useless.
Topography Maps
Clicked on the Topo Map purchase. 20K available. Not back but which 20K? No description other than you’re purchasing 20K maps. What gives?
Position
I cannot get the position to work. I’ve done everything they suggested....
