Originally I thought "No problems at all" but that is no longer true based on experience. I ride my bike with the phone mounted on the handlebars on a route with a perfectly straight stretch of 1.5 miles. Heading out the compass reads 100 degrees, plus or minus 2, East. Coming back on the other side of the 2 lane road it should read 280 degrees West but instead it reads 223 degrees Southwest. This is a MAJOR flaw and renders the app completely unreliable. Color me disappointed.

A great app if you're walking, but this is very important: You CANNOT use this in a driving situation. If you try, you will have zero accuracy, even standing near a car. I ran very extensive tests. 5 stars would have been awarded if it worked while driving. The search continues for me. I think I will try to find an old school liquid filled compass of the old school variety. This is the ultimate compass app, but only if you are walking. None better for that.

Really nice layout, not complicated. I like the sun & moon info option, & the actual demonstration of proper calibration. The other apps only had text description & my brain prefers visual demonstration. This is much nicer than the 4 other apps I tried. like the color choices. Plus no awfully intrusive ads!! You are top notch!!!Thank you so much!
